Unless otherwise provided herein, if Guest cancels at least 7 days prior to the start of the Term, Manager will refund all pre-paid Rent to Guest, except the processing fees. Because Guest’s reservation precludes other rentals of the Premises, Guest agrees that if Guest cancels or shortens its stay less than 7 days prior to the start of the Term, for any reason, Rent is non-refundable to Guest. Guest understands and agrees that the processing fee is non-refundable regardless of when a cancellation is made and will not be returned to Guest under any circumstances. b. Cancellations by Manager. Manager reserves the right to unilaterally terminate this Agreement for any reason within 24 hours of the Effective Date by providing notice of termination to Guest. After this 24-hour time period, Manager reserves the right to unilaterally terminate this Agreement should circumstances arise that are outside of Manager’s control, including without limitation the following circumstances: (i) if the Premises become unavailable prior to the Term due to structural damage, leaks, fire or other conditions that would make the Premises potentially unsafe or uninhabitable for Guest; (ii) sale of the Premises; (iii) transfer of the Premises out of Manager’s property management program; or (iv) force majeure. For the purposes of this Agreement, “force majeure” includes power outages, governmental or quasi-governmental laws, regulations, and orders, pandemics, including without limitation COVID-19, riots, war, natural disasters, or other circumstances of a like nature outside the control of Manager. Manager will notify Guest of such circumstances as soon as is practicable. If Guest desires to be transferred to alternative premises, Manager will make reasonable efforts to relocate the Guest to a reasonably comparable property. In such case, the Guest agrees to pay any increase in rental charges, fees and taxes associated with the alternative premises should those premises normally rent for a greater rental fee. If Manager is unable to secure a reasonably comparable property for Guest, Manager will refund all pre-paid Rent to Guest and this Agreement shall automatically terminate.

Whether damage is considered minor and accidental is in the sole discretion of the Manager, and Guest by booking the property below acknowledges the same. If the Manager determines the damage is accidental and minor and Guest timely reports said damage to Manager (which, at a minimum, means reporting prior to departure), the Security Deposit in part or in whole will cover such minor, accidental damage. Timely reporting of any damage during the Term is critical. Guest understands that in the event damage exceeds minor accidental damage, Guest will be responsible for those amounts above the Security Deposit Fee. 6. Channel Terms. If you are booking through a third-party marketing channel, your booking may be subject to that channel’s own terms and conditions (“Channel Terms”). If any provision of applicable Channel Terms differs from the Terms in this Agreement, the provision of the Channel Terms will control. 7. Use and Occupancy of the Premises; House Rules. a.

We went to Seward for a vacation and fishing excursion and this property was perfect for the amount of people who made the trip. We really thought that the house was very clean and we had no complaints. The location was perfect and had a really good view. We would consider staying there again, and definitely will recommend the property.

Our group of six thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Raven Lodge. We were a short drive to literally everything in Seward. And the views of the bay and the mountains every morning were unmatched. The house was so clean and well equipped. Communications with the property manager were always quick and kind. Since it was rainy during our whole visit, we also used the house to hang out and relax when exploring and hiking were less favorable. We highly recommend staying here if you are staying in Seward!

We only stayed one night so only went to sleep. Plenty of rooms and beds.
View was beautiful but it was raining so we didn't get to sit on the back balcony.
A few things - not enough to knock a star out.
1. There was still towel laundry from prior Tennant in the washer (washed but I think housekeeping didn't put in the dryer.. We just added our towels and run the washer before we left
2. We couldn't figure out which one was the property trash can . It said in the back. We didn't have trash food so we just took it and dumped it in our next hotel. We were on our way out so we didn't want to wait to call the owner.
3. Downstairs was cold. We thought we moved the heat for downstairs but was still cold. Again we got there at 11pm and didn't want to disturb host. Just packed put blankets and were good
4. Has stairs to go to main door. No issue for us but if you don't like stairs keep in mind
Pros
The view. Easy check in process, all things you need in the kitchen, plenty of blankets and towels, beds . Internet worked well. Easy access to restaurants and sealife center.
We loved our stay.

Seward is a small little town, so most houses in the downtown area are close to everything, but the view from the big living area windows was great. We are a family of 5, and had thr in laws along also. Plenty of sleeping room, and the kids loved the room with 3 singles.

Six of us loved to watch for whales from the patio doors! The beds were comfy and the home was spacious. We ate out and did lots of activities in town. Ravens Lodge was a great location!!!

This house was perfect for our friends group getaway; we had a wonderful time in Seward. We bought groceries at the grocery store just a couple miles away, and grilled our meals on the deck each day during our stay. There was plenty of room for everyone. The washer was the hugest washer I have ever seen. Communication with the owner was good; we had everything we needed.
