This was the best experience we have ever had at any B&B. We stayed here for 2 nights around end of May. Marlee is an excellent host and provides all sorts of helpful information and help to make the visit memorable. The house was really nice, clean and beautiful. The breakfast was really enjoyable with all made to order dishes.... More

Marilee is very knowledgeable about Seward, not only the events, but also the merchants and vendors. Ballaine House is comfortable and charming, and the breakfast is made to order. The location is convenient to downtown activities and not a far walk to the harbor. She was extremely helpful when ours plans changed unexpectedly; she did so much more for us... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a great experience. Marlee is a superb host and is so friendly! She had lots of great advice for us and cooks a great breakfast. She also loaned us warmer coats for the glacier cruise and those were a lifesaver for us. The house is warm and inviting - it really felt... More

My husband and I just got back from two nights here. It exceeded our expectations (don't judge it by its out of date website, if that causes hesitation) and made our two rainy days in Seward very comfortable. Everything was clean and the host was extremely friendly and accommodating. The location was central to downtown Seward and everything was in... More

We spent two nights there and it was really nice! The house has some charm with some old style furniture in the rooms and bathroom. Our host, Marlee, gave us lots of advices about where to go for eating or what activities to do. She even has restaurant's menus so that you can make you mind before even going there.... More

Just returned from the great Alaska trip. We stayed at ballaine house while in Seward. Loved Marlee's service. She was very helpful in pointing out all local information as well as offered a free ride to and from the harbor for the glacier cruise so that we could save $$ on the parking. Vow, who does that? :) And she... More

We stayed for 2 days at Ballaine House and we totally loved the stay. It almost felt like a second home and the host Marlee is so amazing that we felt like we are staying with our family. It is a great location close to the downtown and you could walk to all the restaurants. We enjoyed watching a couple... More

Marilee is the friendliest and most charming b&b hostess we have known. She literally brought us in from the cold, found the best way to accommodate us even though we had no reservations, and kept us healthy with the most delicious breakfasts. She was always ready to give us helpful guidance on tours, hikes and restaurants, washed our laundry with... More
