“Our best stay...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011 via mobile

We loved everything, even in the rain. Clean, warm, cozy, comfortable and right on the bay! Then there was a resident eagle on the flagpole for photo shoots. Otters playing in front of the yurt. We had the best time here of all the places we stayed in our two weeks in AK. George was wonderful to make certain we knew where everything was located, even gave us a tsunami/earthquake safety briefing. Recommended restaurants and boat tour services. Wonderful host! We enjoyed great meals at Apollo'sGreek/Italian and the Smoke SHack.

“Best of our 2 weeks in Alaska”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011

We fell in love with Seward, ABC and George; our host. Alaska Base Camp is perfect for couples or families, absolutely spotless and ideally located. The view was stunning. I could have spent a week simply sitting on the deck looking at Resurrection Bay. There is plenty to do in the area: hiking, fishing, kayaking, Kenai Fjords NP trips and well situated on the Kenai peninsula. We wish we had more time in Seward. George is a long time resident with plenty of suggestions/help. His fishing charter recommendation was perfect for the family. What a terrific host! Can't think of a single thing to improve this property!

“Absolutely Perfect!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

Our family of four stayed at the Alaska Base Camp for three days, and absolutely loved everything about it. The accomodations were lovely and clean. The proprietor George was an absolute gentleman and pleasure to meet. He couldn't do enough for us, to ensure a wonderful stay. And, to top it all off, the location and surroundings were simply spectacular..beautifully situated on Resurrection bay. Nicely located right next door is Liquid Adventures, kayaking company. We did the "Aiailk Adventure" tour and it was THE highlight of our entire vacation. A definite must do for anyone visiting Alaska....and no, you do not need to have any kayaking experience to enjoy this. Without question, this was the highlight of our cruise, and ten days in Alaska. Thank you George, for making this a family experience we will cherish forever.

“LOVE LOVE LOVE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2010

I stayed in Alaska Base Camp in May 2009 with my friends. We love this place so much. We considered it as the best hotel we stayed for our Alaska trip. The yurt are big and clean. The beds are comfortable. You could hear the wave and the sea lions (I guess) at night.

George, the owner, was the best. He was very nice and helpful. He gave us a lot of suggestions. We had a long talk before making a reservation because he wanted to make sure that we knew what kind of accomdation we reserved for. I was very impressed with how he cared.

“The perfect place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2010

My daughter found this place on tripadvisor. They had introduced me to Yurts in 2008 when we went to California. This one was awesome. George was a great host. He is friendly, the place is spacious and clean. We had a beautiful view of the mountains and water from the deck and took walks on the beach which was just steps away. I wish we would have had more than two days to stay here. If I ever go back, this will be the place I booked. Also, we had 4 adults and had plenty of room!!!
