When our Alaska itinerary changed unexpectedly, I had to scramble to find lodging in Seward with only 24 hours' notice. I called the Ballaine House and Maralee happened to have a cancellation and happily accommodated us on short notice. When we arrived, it seemed she had been planning our arrival for a week -- she had all kinds of travel... more

My two grown sons and I recently stayed two nights at the Ballaine House. I cannot offer enough praise for Marlee and her establishment. She goes above and beyond the definition of a hostess. She offered delicious made to order breakfasts, had advice and tips on local services, and offered us coats and gloves for our cruise. One of the... more

I concur with all the other reviews. I spent two nights at this B & B last week. It definitely felt like a home away from home, very clean and comfortable. Marlee also does an amazing job with the breakfasts. She was very helpful with trip planning, laundry and jackets, other accessories, etc. Definitely my first choice for a stay... more

While spending 3 nights at Ballaine House, with all the comfort, hospitality and relaxation, I had to repeatedly remind myself that I was not in my own home. Marilee is a most gracious hostess, lending you everything you didn't think necessary (or forgot) to bring, i.e. coats, hats, gloves, etc., even providing robes for your use to the shared bathrooms,... more

When calling this place, they demand that you write them an email requesting the reservation. I did this twice. After two weeks they have never responded either by email or phone. more

Great B&B

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. The breakfast is wonderful and cooked to order. Laundry is available as well. Marlee has a lot of great advice on activities and restaurants and often has discount coupons... more
