I've stayed in many B&Bs in the US and abroad, I can recall a few where I had an above average expereince, but I'm sure I'll recall Bellaine House and Marlee after I've forgotten most others. At rather the last minute, at the end of the season, I called to enquire about a reservation. Fortunately for me, even though Marlee... more

The Ballaine House is a rare thing. It is a comfortable and well run bed and breakfast, to be sure, but it is the proprietor who makes it an unusual experience. We found Marlee willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make sure we, and all her guests, had the best visit to Seward possible. Restaurant recommendations, discount activity coupons,... more

We stayed at the Ballaine House for 4 nights at the end of July. We had a wonderful stay and Marlee the owner lives up to the praise from other reviews.

Three long distance phone calls and two emails and one week later, could not even get the opportunity to make a reservation! Can understand if, in the depths of winter, this hotel is closed but this is July! Prime tourist season. And if they were booked for the times we requested, at least a returned email to that effect would... more

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
