Pros:

Very clean and comfortable. It is a high quality, well maintained and well supplied property, with beautiful and tranquil surrounding. The property is just off Highway 9, very easy to access, a much better choice of stay after you have visited the Kenai Peninsula before heading to the Anchorage airport.

Inn at Tern Lake - Five Star
Pros:

OMG, fantastic! This is a very beautiful place, very quiet, and exceptionally clean. Staff and service accommodating your every request. Provided great information on local hiking trails. Our three-night stay was Five Star. Oh, and did I mention the beautiful grounds and breakfast? Highly recommend to all my friends.

Pros:

This is the best bed and breakfast I've ever stayed in, and it's no contest. Everything about the Inn at Tern Lake was unique. We all loved it. Teal (lovely name) and her family have made this a special place and we would love to visit again... and again... and so on.

You can immediately recognize you're in a happy place as soon as you turn into the grounds. The trails, the ponds, the playground and tennis/basketball court and the handmade decorations demonstrate the detailed care and effort that makes this place wonderful.

Our biggest regret was missing the first day's breakfast, since on the second day we had an excellent meal prepared by Teal.

All-in-all, the Inn at Tern Lake was an unexpected gem discovered during our trip.

Pros:

The location was great, between Cooper Landing and Moose Pass with an easy drive to Seward. Beautiful mountains, small pond, walking trails with cute decorations. Closest restaurant a few miles south in Moose Pass. There is a communal kitchen area to use with refrigerator, microwave. Take off your shoes.

Great place to stay if you are looking for a stop between Seward and anchorage. Clean room. Beautiful lake view. Only thing you need to pay attention is there is not many restaurants options nearby.
