Bear Bottoms at Salmon Creek
Located on Salmon Creek, Bear Bottoms has everything for a peaceful getaway. This unique home sleeps 13 people in 5 beds upstairs and 2 beds downstairs. Enjoy a walk-in shower or jetted tub with a forest view. The kitchen is equipped to prepare meals with access to an outdoor grill. Dine inside or outside as you enjoy the view of the creek and mountains. Create s’more memories at the fire pit. You will have access to the top, middle, & bottom floor of the home.
The main house is one of two rental units on the property (the other being a mother-in-law apartment that sleeps four that might also be available during your stay depending on your dates). There is a top, middle, and bottom floor.
Top floor: After going upstairs, the top floor opens into a large bedroom that has 2 queen beds, 1 full bed, and 1 twin bed (the full and twin are bunk beds). This room has a desk, armoire, chest of drawers, two chairs, nightstands, and a creek/ mountain view that often has eagles perched over the river looking for salmon. This would be a great room for a large family or older children. This bedroom is connected to the master bathroom which has a sink, shower, and jetted tub. Another room in the bathroom houses the toilet and bidet. There is another bedroom attached to the master bathroom. You must walk through the shower/tub area to get to this room which has a queen bed, chest of drawers, and nightstand. This bedroom has a small window overlooking the forest.
Middle floor: The middle floor has the living area that has two sofas, one loveseat, an accessory chair, side table, and coffee table. There is a TV for entertainment. The dining area has a large table, and the kitchen has new stainless steel appliances and accessory appliances to help cook most meals. There is a large deck outside of the dining area with a table to enjoy the view. Outside of the half bathroom, there is an office area with games. The entrance to the house is on this floor.
Bottom floor: After going down the stairs, there is a hallway connecting a bathroom, storage room (locked), and two bedrooms. The bathroom has a shower/tub combo and sink. There is also a sliding door in the bathroom that reveals the laundry room complete with washer, dryer, and boiler system (Please do not touch the boiler system- it is very complicated. Contact your host if you need adjustments in the house). One of the bedrooms has a king bed, chest of drawers, nightstand, and closet. The other bedroom has a queen, chest of drawers, two chairs, and closet.
Outside: The main house has its own grill; however the fire pit is a shared space between both units.
Please message if you are also interested in renting Roo Roo's Rustic Retreat, the mother-in-law suite equipped with its own kitchen, bathroom, and washer/dryer (sleeps 4). This is a separate unit from the house that may also be occupied with other guests during your stay (unless you rent the entire property).
**Warnings** 1. Accessibility to the entrance and bedrooms requires guests to climb entire flights of stairs. 2. There are cameras outside on the property. These are not "gotcha" cameras. The cameras were purchased as a safety measure because of the wildlife in the area. I try to warn guests of potential bears and moose in the area. 3.When outside or if windows are open, you may notice occasional road noise. 4.Guests must stay 5 yards away from the creek (do not go past the wooden bench).The rushing water is very dangerous and falling in the creek could result in injury or death. 5. Fishing in the creek is illegal. 6. No smoking, no parties, and no pets. 7. Alaska is windy! Do not use the fire pit on excessively windy days. Please monitor the fire at all times and put out the fire immediately after use. 8.Bear Bottoms is in the Alaskan wilderness. While viewing eagles next and hunt for salmon is majestic, bear and moose encounters are not. These animals are very dangerous. Be careful and watch out for wildlife. Bear spray is provided at the front door. Please return it when you depart. 9. Do not clean fish on the property, and do not put trash outside (it will attract dangerous animals). There is a black trash mat in the pantry on the right. If you would like your trash removed due to smell, please contact your host.

Beautiful property. Wonderful for a large group, this was perfect for our stay. In a great location and super super clean would highly recommend for anyone with a large group traveling to Seward!
Bear Bottoms was exactly as advertised - perhaps even better. Peaceful location yet close to town, large clean house with well-equipped kitchen… we lacked for nothing and would definitely stay here again! Communication with Erin was always quick and helpful.
This is an awesome property and perfect for a large group. Close to town. Very clean and neat. The kids really enjoyed the puzzles. Everything was perfect! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly.
We loved Alaska and the trip was made so much better because of this house. Thank you, Erin, for your incredible hospitality. We loved the location. It was so easy to do all of the wonderful expeditions around Seward from this location. It was an ideal house for our family with everything we needed to cook in and enjoy all that Alaska has to offer.
Perfect home for our Seward vacation! Erin is an amazing host and left so many thoughtful touches in the home: a welcome sign greeting us, souvenir gifts, rain ponchos, earplugs in bedrooms, etc. The kitchen is well supplied. House was very clean and comfortable. Setting was fantastic, with a beautiful creek on property. We stayed here with extended family (5 kids ranging from ages 10-17) and 6 adults. We did not have any issues but Erin was so great to work with and helped me beforehand with suggested activities and restaurants. Would absolutely stay here again!
Our family enjoyed staying at Bear Bottoms. The area is lovely, Erin was extremely communicative and quick to respond to our needs and we loved being right on the creek where we could see the salmon after they spawned. We also counted 9 bunnies in the neighborhood. The house had everything we needed.
We loved our stay at this house! The house had absolutely everything we could have possibly needed, plenty of room for all of us (group of 10) and it was clean and comfortable. We even saw an eagle in its nest right outside the house! The host takes great care in making sure we felt welcome and we had everything we needed and plenty of room for us to make great meals at home. Highly recommend for your next stay in Seward!
Bear Bottoms exceeded our expectations! We loved the extremely well-stocked kitchen, enough dining room seating for all 13 of us, and comfy beds. The pictures online are very accurate. Sitting by the river is magical. Communication with Host Erin was always timely. We’d choose her property again in a heartbeat.
Erin's communication was excellent before, during, and after our stay. The home was clean with a fully stocked and well organized kitchen. Check out was a breeze, and instructions were very clear. The home is secluded, and while we didn't get a chance to use it, the firepit down by the creek looks like a great place to end the day.
