Overall Ratings & Reviews Nauti Otter Inn and Yurt Village

The Nauti Otter is definitely a fun and unique place to stay. It was clean and I appreciated the sense of community. However, I do not plan on staying here again next time I visit Seward. I stayed in one of the three indoor rooms right next to the only indoor full bathroom and the kitchen/dining area. There are no observed quiet hours at the Nauti Otter so the sounds of people talking and moving around loudly kept me up late at night and woke me up early in the morning.

The yurt was a fun and unique experience. Fun to chat with the other lodgers.

Glamping at it’s best!

Nice quiet spot to spend the night. Rooms only have a bed and minium space. But, the main building has all the comforts of home. Refrigerator, restroons, fireplace, books, guitar piano. Very comfortable. Also outdoor firepit. Serve yourself arrangment. An envelope with my name was posted on the door. Key was in the door ready for me. Includes a patking spot infront of your cabin. 3 miles from Seward.

What a cute hostel! Friendly crew, comfortable environment. Highly recommend!

My stay was surprisingly delightful. I appreciated the host and the crew. Very accommodating for my needs this trip. I am definitely going back to enjoy everyones company. Thanks Nauti Otter.

Location was good and room was clean. Some things were a little strange that I wasn't expecting such as needing to squeegee down the shower and spray it with disinfectant after use. Only thing that was a bit annoying was the manager hovering over your shoulder making sure you are doing things correctly. Wasn't expecting to feel like a child at summer camp but if you avoid the main house then it's fine.

This place is beautiful, well planned, even in a yurt they throught of every possible amenity you could want. Loved it so much Im wanting to come back just to stay here. HIGHLY recommend this for a unique and amazing time

We didn’t know that there are 2 locations so we stopped in to check in at the main office and was greeted by an unfriendly staff. We checked in and came back and were told to park off the street cuz the parking lot is full. Greeted by a much friendlier staff at the 2nd location but the first interaction with the first one ruined our stay.

Great place.We had good experience !

Very good boss and staff, clean and tidy, very good service. subvert your impression of youth hostels

Cute little property not so far from the town

The only issue we had was it was raining a lot, so there was 4-5” of standing water keeping us from getting into the cabin, but I was on a fishing trip so I had water boots, no big deal for me but maybe for some people it may be something to consider if you’re not familiar with the climate.

Darling quiet yurts in the forest with everything you need, heaters in yurts, outdoor sinks, showers with plenty of space, hairdryers, a huge kitchen with fridges, grills, tables to chill and cook - great for cyclists, travelers and people who want different experience.

The yurts were very cozy, cute, comfortable and nicely decorated. The area around the yurts was magical at night with white lights in the branches of the forest trees that light your way along the path to the bathrooms, or open-air kitchen. The Nauti Otter Inn is in a secluded, beautiful & forested neighborhood with nice homes on large lots that is tucked away from road noise. What a find close to Seward, Alaska.

So cozy

Wonderful Experience! Clean cozy sleeping areas and beautiful kitchen. Fun theme of Pirates in the Hostel. Staff super helpful and friendly, and such a great way to meet people from all over the world wanting to visit Alaska. Close and convenient to town and the glacier hike and even church on Sunday. Great Experience, Will return soon!

During the reservation process, we were under the impression we would be getting a private yurt. Instead, we had the room immediately adjacent to the kitchen inside the house with very very very thin walls. The pillows were horridly deflated and flat. That said, the room was clean, the mattress firm, and the full house of guests were quiet by 11 pm.

Great & funky place!

C'est un endroit très bien
