Comfortable stay
We stayed for two nights in the tiehacker room with a bathroom in the room. It was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good and the ice cream bars at night were greatly appreciated. Unfortunately it rained during our stay so we did not use the lake but if the weather was better that would have been a blast.

he best B &B in Alaska!
There are tons of things to do right at the bed and breakfast. Canoeing, kayaking, watching bald eagles, seeing the salmon run are all right there. The hosts are very knowledgeable about the area and have binders full of restaurants in the area along with another binder with hiking trails. They are gracious enough to make you a copy of any hiking map you need. The beds were very comfortable and our rooms were spacious. Breakfast was delicious! Also who can pass up a homage ice cream treat in the evening? Our family highly recommends Bear Lake Lodgings.

Great amenities and location
Pat and Dennis (and innkeeper Margie) made sure everything was clean, comfortable, and relaxed. The large house is located in a beautiful location, secluded but only a short drive from Seward. Wish we‘d had time to partake of kayaking on the lake — and our booked activities left too early in the morning to partake of Margie’s home-cooked breakfasts, which sounded great. But she did make to-go breakfast/snack boxes for us, which was a nice touch and very appreciated. An unexpected treat was that they served free hand-dipped (in chocolate and rolled in toppings) gourmet ice cream bars in the evenings, and even at the shack they run in Seward. Great place for couples or families, just don’t do what we did... be sure to leave yourself some time to enjoy the breakfasts and the lake!

Hidden gem
We were there for one night after a long day of Kenai Fjord tours. Its a neat little B&B nestled by a small and calm lake. Margie was fantastic host. There were trails and salmon watching nearby. Also have kayak but we didn't use them. We ended our stay with a lovely breakfast served and ready for the next adventure.

It was my first time staying at a bed and breakfast and was a little skeptical at first about sharing a bathroom and a house with others. It turned out to be a great experience. The bathroom was not a big deal and it was kept clean. Loved eating and chatting with everyone for breakfast. What a great way to share stories, learn about activities in the area and get to talk to different folks from all over the country. We stayed 4 nights and found the location perfect. We had lots of activities planned each day so didn't spend too much time at home. But by the end of the day it was like going home. We both would recommend it to anybody!

Very welcoming. Ice cream treats very nice in the evenings. Very clean, comfortable. Breakfast was very good each morning. We really enjoyed our stay at Bear Lake Lodgings Bed & Breakfast. Kayaks available to go out on the lake. It was raining when we were there so we did not use, but was nice having them available. Highly recommend.
