Self check-in

Check yourself in with the keypad.
Borealis Cabin is close to Lost Lake Trailhead and family-friendly activities. A hidden gem just three miles outside of Seward city limits. You’ll love it because of the high ceilings, the kitchen, the open floor plan, the comfy beds, and the coziness. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families.

The space
This beautiful little loft cabin is nestled just off of a dirt road in the mountains about three miles outside of Seward city limits.

There is a full kitchen with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, and coffee pot. We offer a wireless sound system, complementary wifi and a 40" smart TV. The cabin also includes a Bar-B-Q grill on the back porch for outdoor grilling and a fire-pit for roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories. Please bring your own firewood for the fire pit and charcoal for grilling.

The cabin sleeps 3-6 in three queen sized beds. Be advised that two of the beds are located in the loft of the cabin. In order to access the loft one must climb a ladder like staircase. The third bed is on the first floor for those guests who are squeamish about heights. There are three queen beds in all. We ask that the host provide an accurate guest count at booking so that we may provide the appropriate amenities for each guest. Unfortunately, we can not host parties larger than 6 and pets are not allowed on the property.

The cabin is one of two identical cabins on our property. Your neighbor is also a guest of ours. Please be respectful of their stay by keeping late night noises to a minimum.

**Please note that the fire pit is subject to availability in winter months due to possibility of heavy snow.

Guest access
We are located just off the Seward Hwy on a dirt road that is well maintained by the city of Seward during all four seasons.

There is private parking available for up to three vehicles next to your cabin. You are welcome to park a snow-machine trailer or small boat, but doing so will count as one of the three vehicles. Please allow plenty of room for the guests staying in the cabin next to yours to park and exit the driveway at all times.

The cabin is located just 1/4 mile from the Lost Lake Trailhead! Cross-country skiing, biking, and hiking is allowed on the shoulder of the road. Snow-machining to the trailhead from the cabin is also permitted. **Please note, there is not a private off-road trail from the cabin for skiing, hiking, biking, or snow-machining to the trailhead.

Other things to note
COVID 19
We are working extra hard to insure that the cabin is clean and safe for our guests during these uncertain times. Upon checkin you will find that the cabin's decorative linens and throw pillows have been removed so that we may clean more throughly and efficiently. Please let us know if you were experiencing any symptoms of COVID 19 during your stay or were in contact with anyone who displayed symptoms that concerned you. This information may help us take the necessary precautions to stay open safely. Our first priority is in keeping our staff and guests healthy. Thank you!

EARLY CHECK-IN
Due to increased cleaning protocols we are unable to promise checkin times before 4:00 pm. Request for an early check-in must be communicated with the host through direct message only. Upon request, we are happy to let you know as soon as your cabin is ready on the day of your arrival.

CRIB/HIGHCHAIR REQUEST
If you would like to make use of our travel crib or highchair please request it before you arrive so that we can make sure it is in the cabin at check-in. Storage in the cabin is limited so we keep these items off site until needed.

WATER USAGE:
Your cabin uses a private well and septic system. Please conserve water whenever possible and never flush anything other than toilet paper.

ADDITIONAL GUEST FEE:
The standard rate of your cabin includes up to three guests. A $25 per person fee will be automatically added to the nightly rate for every additional guest after the third guest.
