Grand Bear Den - Eco-Luxury with a view
About this space
Relax and retreat at Grand Bear Den on Little Bear Lane. Luxurious eco-friendly main floor. (We’re 100% off grid; solar/wind-powered + fresh rain water catchment). Take in the AMAZING view of Resurrection Bay from the grand hall and two wrap around patios. Luxury king-sized beds. Plus a dream kitchen. Additional dining room/TV lounge/office space for guests use. The slice of Alaska anyone can appreciate!
NOTE: the Schatz family (that's us) lives in the basement floor.
DRIVE SLOW on DRIVEWAY
The space
Grand Bear Den of Little Bear Lane has Twenty-eight foot ceilings in the grand hall welcoming in the view and beauty of Resurrection Bay to be enjoyed on oversized leather sofa and chairs.
Spacious master bedroom with blackout shades and a cozy king-sized bed, full sofa bed and a luxurious master bath; with large bath and rain shower.
Loft with king-sized bed and reading nook; eye masks provided as the loft overlooks the grand hall.
Large custom, chef-approved kitchen. Dining room and lounge with tv and sofa and a desk… in case you need to get some work done on the road.
We are happy to say we’re 100% off grid; with a large and ample electric system; solar and wind powered and over 10,000 gallon to capture Seward’s fresh rain water.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. Meg and Nico are delightful hosts. The house did advertise three bathrooms but there’s one full bath and 1/2 bath so must be sure you are comfortable sharing a shower with others in your group. Also it is a good idea to have eye masks to sleep due to the long lhours of daylight in Alaska. (one bedroom is in the loft). We spent much of our time, enjoying the house, sauna, fire pit, and taking in the amazing view.s:) We would definitely return to enjoy this beautiful place.

Grand Bear Den was absolutely an incredible place to stay!! Beautiful place, amazing views, outstanding kitchen, and great location for easy access to Seward and activities. All the special touches from all the ingredients to make s'mores over the incredible fire pit with a view, to the lovely basket for gathering goods from the garden, to the refreshments made available to us, as the guests, made the stay so very special!! Would stay there over and over again!

Stunning!
If your dates are available, stay here! Stunning home with lovely touches throughout. The view alone is worth the 5 star review. The heat lamps on the deck provide extra warmth if needed. The hosts were over the top generous and accommodating. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Simply Awesome
This is a special home! If you love architecture, post and beam construction, grand, open concept great room and kitchen with professional Vulcan range. There are two large decks overlooking (likely) the best view in all of Seward. Unobstructed views of Big Marathon, Race point, Little Bear, Big Bear, The Foundry, & Callisto. The view continues through some seemingly perfectly placed spruce trees down Resurection Bay to the various Islands. To the left side the view picks up even more mountains, you could literally just stare at the view day after day it never gets old. Meg and her family live on site and are very kind and responsive. If you are looking for a high quality home with breathtaking views this is the place!!! oh and the master bath shower is exquisite…

Gorgeous place to stay!
The home was beautiful with amazing views. It was clean, extremely comfortable, and the hosts even provided fresh coffee. The loft sleeping area was great for kids and they loved the views and the reading nook. The master bedroom was spacious and very comfortable. The views were stunning from every room, and the covered deck area was really wonderful on a couple of rainy Alaska days. The location is also very convenient. It's just a couple minute drive to the harbor. We'll stay there again if we can get back to Seward.
