Box Canyon Cabins - Seward, Alaska

Bill McClure

We enjoyed our one night stay at Box Canyon Cabins. We stayed in the Bears Den with our daughter's family. We had a good time bbqing hamburgers and then having s'mores later out by the campfire. We thought that the area looked like a great place for multiple families to get together. The grounds are beautiful and the cabin was set up nicely for a multi day stay.

We loved our stay at box canyons cabins. We reserved the moose and fisherman cabin. Both worked very well for our needs. The moose cabin is on the lower level of the largest cabin, which can be annoying if the occupants are loud above you (which ours were a couple nights with their dog).

Laundry facilities are available. You’ll need detergent and it’s 2.50 for a wash and $3.00 for a dry. If you need quarters, you can get some at the Iditarod gift center.

They do have WiFi, which is starlink connected, so when there’s satellite it’s fast.

We saw a moose and her calf twice during our five night stay.

Beautiful property! Just far enough from town to feel secluded, but close enough for convenience. With Gramma, Grampa, Mom, Dad, and 2 smallish children in our group, we wanted to stick to a reasonable lodging budget, so we searched for lodging where we could all stay together instead of renting 2 units. I've written this review with that perspective in mind. We chose one of the 2 bedroom cabins. The Fisherman's Cabin was a little "cozy" for 6 of us, but doable! There was only a couch and 4 dining chairs for seating, but it was really quite comfortable for a 3 night stay, especially since we were out and about most of the daylight hours. The cabin was very clean, beds and linens were clean and comfortable, bathroom was very clean. The pull out sofa was ok for the kiddos but less comfy for adults, as was to be expected. A few more forks and spoons would have been quite helpful, but otherwise the kitchen was well stocked. There was a little bit of an issue with inadequate wiring for the kitchen appliances, but we managed and just didn't use the microwave at the same time as the toaster or coffee maker. We did have a visit from a little bear searching for something to eat, so guests should be cautious about shutting doors and allowing children to play or eat outdoors unsupervised. ||We would stay here again without hesitation!

I was a guest here with my family. This is a lovely 2 bedroom cabin. But there are several things missing which would have made the stay much better. The good things are: covered porch with Adirondack chairs, lovely grounds, cable tv worked well, lots of towels in bathroom. |Here are the items that detracted from the cabin:|Welcome/instruction book is seriously outdated and useless.|Large heater broken, no sign to indicate this-spent an hour or three trying to turn it on. Electric heaters in LR, and 2 BRs although the 2nd BR heater was hidden in closet. Called for another heater and was told the large heater was broken and that is why there are electric heaters. Like we would know that? Person brought a heater with a broken wheel which had to be just right to stay upright. |Sign over gas stove/oven said we had to keep the bedroom doors open because the smoke detectors would go off and bother everyone including people upstairs. Uhh….there were no smoke detectors in cabin-all had been removed. Not good.|Kitchen could use a strainer for pasta, otherwise adequately stocked for cookware & knives & flatware. And if you use the microwave & toaster at same time, the fuse will blow-fuse boxes is in 2nd bedroom by the way. |One working gas grill for entire cabins -we were the furthest and pretty sure food would have turned cold by the time it was walked back to cabin.|Beware there are people renting (not the owners of the place)on 2nd floor above you who are fairly noisy at night walking to bathroom, flushing, etc.|If they get the big items (heaters, smoke detectors, CO) fixed it would be a lovely place to stay.|

We spent two nights in the Box Canyon Cabin complex at the Moose cabin. It worked well for our party of 6 with two bedrooms and one bathroom. This was a cheaper and more efficient way to stay than for us to get two separate hotel rooms somewhere and having the kitchen area was very nice. Although we didn’t see any wildlife the grounds are very nice. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return.

This place was our best experience's cabin in Alaska on those 15 days . The garden , the pond , the source is perfectly maintained , with 2 fireplaces , 2 gas BBQ , tables and seats for the 6 cabins ( we met no one ?) . Even all the necessary wood / lighters/ fire-accelerate were at disposal . Landry and a cabin READY to cook to live with a large sitting room ( TV with cable) / kitchen, a separate large ( new clean shower) bathroom and 2 well decorated ( fish theme ) bedrooms ( 1 king and 2 single beds) . On top , visit of a morning black bear , we are in the woods, close to bear creek... so best experience.

We stayed in the Moose Cabin, very roomy, very clean. Excellent place to stay.

Beautiful grounds, quiet, but close to Seward! We stayed in the Bear's Den and had plenty of room for two couples (we were visiting Alaska with my parents).
We sat out by the fire pit at the end of every evening, it was just so nice!!
Next visit to Alaska will for sure involve us staying at Box Canyon Cabins again!!
