Ballaine house was very nice. We stayed right next to the kitchen and did not have any extra noise. It is a beautiful home and Marlee is terrific! She bought us groceries to fix dinner, lent us warmer coats to go sight seeing, took us around town. She is amazing! This was also the best rate that we found in... more

This is the first time that my husband and I had stayed in a B&B together, and it was incredible! As others have said here, you truly feel like you're visiting a close friend when you stay with Marilee at the Ballaine House! She is so hospitable and bends over backwards to make sure your visit to Seward is a... more

Marlee is an amazing hostess/innkeeper/concierge/driver/cook whose hospitality made the experience overall an outstanding one. I was at first hesitant because I had read a review that indicated trouble contacting her. This was not my experience. She was responsive, even though we were booking well before the season started for travel in May, and included so much information on local activities... more

The Ballaine House is a nice enough place to stay in Seward. But the incredible service from the hostess Marlee was what impressed us the most. She not only runs the B&B and keeps it clean, she also acts as concierge, waitress, chef, launderer, chauffer, and somehow manages to seem genuinely concerned that every single guest have a wonderful time.... more

A friend & I stayed at Ballaine House in Seward, AK for 3 days in August. It is a phenomenal B&B, and I don't say that lightly. Marlee went overboard to cater to travelers' needs. I've stayed in many B&Bs & it's rare that you feel like a place truly is a home away from home and that the proprietor... more

She goes out of her way to make sure your stay in Seward is not only very comfortable at her historic B&B, but also that your visit to Seward is as full of activities or relaxation as you... more

My husband and I spent 2 nights at Ballaine House during our stay in Seward and we were very happy with our choice. This trip to Alaska was our first experience with bed and breafasts so we were a little hesitant but the Ballaine House turned out to be a great surprise. Marlee was very helpful with all her informative... more

Marilee is truly resourceful! Her informations on all the tours and restaurants around Seward are more detailed than any travel books could offer. She can also get you 20% discounts on may day cruses if you stay at Ballaine House. Marilee is always ready to help and she responded my email very quickly. more

I was initially really frustrated with trying to get ahold of someone to make our reservations last year... had called/emailed several times and couldn't get anyone. I tried one last time and PRESTO! Marilee answered the phone and was incredibly gracious and wonderful... she even shuffled some things around so that she could accommodate our dates. She followed up with... more
