Due to a scheduling problem my reservation was changed to Northern Lights B&B, a sister property of Front Row. The change is booking was seamless and owner very helpful and accommodating. Northern Lights is a beautiful small b&b in an excellent location. The staff was wonderful and the breakfasts were made to order and delicious. I would absolutely return if ever again in Seward.

Front Row B&B beyond exceeded my expectations!! The room was spacious and immaculate and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches like the fresh baked chocolate chip banana bread and fresh fruit that was provided! The view was gorgeous and the area was very nice and quiet at night. The B&B is continently located within a short walking distance to the downtown area. Best part was the made to order breakfast that is provided at their sister property (also a very short walk). Best sourdough waffle I’ve ever had in my life! The manager is so sweet and you can tell she loves what she does! I would highly recommend this place! Why stay in a hotel when you can stay here!?!

Stay in the main house. The views are fabulous. Where we stayed the ground floor studio was not comfortable. Lighting was bad and it smelt of cigarette smoke. It was nice to have the main house to go into which if we hadn’t had a lot of luggage would have chosen

Fantastic Views and Delightful Hosts
Front Door Bed and Breakfast was a great place to stay on our visit to Seward. The room and bathroom were fairly small but comfortable. The shared living area was fantastic with incredible views from every angle. We had a lovely chat with the manager, Sarah, who was extremely friendly and gave us plenty of ideas about activities in the area. We didn’t go to the sister property for breakfast, although we heard from other guests that the breakfast was phenomenal. However each morning there were delicious fresh baked goods in our kitchen as well as fresh fruit, juice, coffee, tea, and everything that was needed to make a complete breakfast. We spent some great hours sitting in the living room reading and watching the fabulous clouds and sunlight dance on the glaciers.

We truly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. After we saw the ocean view picture on the website, we immediately canceled our earlier booking in another local hotel and chose this one. It was a right decision! The view from the window is breathtaking with ocean waves nearby, snow mountains afar, and sea birds flying low and high, far more better than any pictures that could possibly depict. Imagining you have a cup of hot coffee in hand and sit in Tom’s rocking chair in front of huge window, life is as good as you can get! The house is located in the historical downtown next to the Waterfront Park. If you come to Seward by cruise or train, you can take Free Shuttle at cruise terminal/train station and drop off at Stop #11. The house is about 20-30 meters from the shuttle stop. We used Free Shuttle to our cruise for next journey. It is very convenient (and free). The unit has everything we expected, upscale, comfortable, clean and welcoming. The owner Tom is such an amazing gentleman to chat with, knowing so much about salmon, AK history back to 17th century, local tribes, glaciers, and global warming! His advice (to have layers on) made our day during our one-day-long boat tour to glacier! Also, don’t miss Sarah’s sour-dough waffle for your breakfast - it derives from the sour dough made 23 years ago!! We sincerely thank Tom to share this wonderful house with us and highly recommend to you all!
