Nice place in the woods
Very nice place, super quiet and not far from Seward. Host Gary was super nice and accommodating. We had a great time and the place was very relaxing.
We stayed in cabin 4, aka the fun cabin. It has lake view and it was gorgeous. Really enjoyed our stay here. There is no wifi in the cabin; only in the office.

If you want to get away from it all, Renfros is the place to go. There is no WIFI or phone service unless you go to the lodge. Make sure you take your own provisions such as salt pepper etc. The fridge is very small and the freezer will not actually keep things frozen. Seward is not far for supplies. There is plenty of hiking and things to see in the aeea..
This was the cleanest, most well-maintained cabin we’ve ever been to. There were so many creative, beautiful touches to the cabin and the whole campground. The cabin was well equipped for everything we needed (2 adults, 3 teens) with a gorgeous view. There is nothing I wld have changed or added!!
We are so glad we stayed at Renfro’s! It is a great “unplugged” space where we got a lot of quality family time. There are books and games available in the office, as well as kayaks and paddle boats. Our kids really enjoyed exploring at the beach, playing in the cabin loft, and swinging in the hammock. The cabin was comfortable for our family of 5. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cookware. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great place to reset. Would go back.
Beautiful area. Quaint cabins. Super clean. Gary was a wonderful host Wi-Fi does not exist in the cabins but is available at the check in cabin. Would not have been a big deal on vacation but a little challenging when traveling for business. Remote area so no TV.
Stayed in a lakeside cabin with an absolutely stunning view. Every little detail couldn’t have been any better! The lack of Wi-Fi and tv at the cabin was a plus. The grounds were immaculate and the location was amazing! About 20 minutes from Seward. We’re here for four nites at it was very relaxing. Gary is a great host!
Extremely clean and cozy one night stay! The owners and workers are as kind as they come even offering us a free ride into Seward if we needed. Would absolutely stay here again!
A great place to stay for a Alaska nature retreat with the lake right in front of your cabin door! The cabins are brand new and very clean. We would have loved to stay longer.

The cabin we stayed in was fine - just know it is very basic and rustic - no insulation.

Pros: Secluded and quiet. Near the lake. A hike down the railroad tracks leads to the river. Welcoming. Heater works great. The grounds are kept very nice and clean.
Cons: No wifi in cabin. No regular coffee pot. No phone signal. Staff leaves for the whole day without having an emergency contact. You are on your own if something goes wrong like getting locked out of your cabin - which we did. No paper towels. No microwave.
Wonderful getaway on a great property about 20 minutes from Skagway. Cabin was thoughtfully designed and well appointed; there were electric outlets in all the right places. Bed was comfortable; parking right next to cabin. All the amenities you could can imagine right down to pods for Keurig. Laundry close and convenient.
Very pleased with our stay and all the communication before and during.
