This was a delightful place to stay from the moment of arrival. The cabins are spotless and very well equipped. There is much work going on in the garden but already has 2 fire pits, a BBQ, a pond and stream and all surrounded by beatiful flowers and trees. The fire pit was a great focal point for those that... more

I grew up in Alaska, had since moved away, and came back for a friend's wedding. I took my boyfriend, sister, and her fiance on a Kenai Fjords trip and stayed that night at Box Canyon Cabins. The female owner had stated that she'd be out of town when we arrived, but told us where the key would be stashed,... more

We were very sorry to hear that this group had a problem with spiders. However we were not notified during their stay so we could take appropriate action for them. After we were called, we investiaged the situation and did not come across any spiders. Our cabins are in the woods and sometimes clients leave the door open. Insects do...

Although I was unsure what to expect after reading the reviews, I still booked the cabins as I needed access to kitchen and wanted a cabin, which would sleep 4 people. This work out great. The owners have a special system regarding keys/access to cabins as a result of which there was no need for any "check-in" and in fact... more

Pay but don't stay is exactly what the owners would like and what we did. I was vacationing with my wife and daughter, and another family of three. Our daughters are 2 and 6 and they got along famously. The day before we were booked to check in to Box Canyon Cabins ( BCC), we decided to drive by to... more

Our check in time, like other establishments in Seward, is 4 PM. During the time when our guests are out for the day we are busy cleaning and doing maintenance. We understand that our guests are anxious to check in, however we take pride in the cleanliness and condition of our cabins and property. This guest had no respect for...

Despite the many signs on the premises, an additional one would have been most helpful: CAUTION: OWNER WILL BITE July. A beautiful evening. My small group was relaxing in our cozy cabin when we had the distinct pleasure of getting ripped a new one by Barb the owner. It seems there was a bit of a miscommunication in how we... more

I am sorry these people felt I was rude to them. While working the office I found that the emergency key to the cabin was missing from our private area, which is not open to the public. We had recenly changed over to a keyless system and had posted notes next to the front door of each cabin explaining how...

Wow. The owner of these cabins really needs to work on his people skills. What would have been a pleasant little stay was ruined by the surly owner storming around the parking lot growling at the guests about various infractions. His approach to his customers was awful. Instead of being cordial, the guy seemed genuinely angry and a actually a... more

My wife and I spent four nights with our son and his wife and our 3 grandkids at box canyon cabins. We stayed in Wolf's Den. The cabin was very nice, clean and well furnished. The beds were very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed Seward. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. We strongly recommend the Renown Tours Cruise of the Kenai Fjords... more

We recently had large rocks placed around the pond on the property. We had had two small signs made when this was done asking guests for their safety to please stay off the rocks. However we resisted displaying them, until we notices two small children playing on the rocks without supervision. We were concerned that they would either fall and...

The grounds and cabin were very nice, as in the pictures, but I was very surprised by the owner's behavior. Arriving after morning check out time and before check in time, we attempted to locate someone in the office and by phone to ask about early check in. When our attempts to locate someone were unsuccessful, we found our cabin... more

We loved our cabin. It was clean and everything was in good working order. I also loved the sleeping loft but if you're afraid of heights or not very agile you'll want to make sure to book a cabin without a loft. The code to the key box was mailed to us ahead of time so there was no formal... more

First let me say, if you are looking for concierge service this is not the place for you - Barb and Cliff both have full time jobs during the week so you will be expected to fend for yourself for the most part but that is not a problem. They will provide you with all the information necessary to move... more
