★★MAIN LIVING SPACE ★★

Alagnaq Inn by Venturescape Homes is surrounded by beauty and windows throughout the main living space to let the outdoors in. From every window you'll capture the beauty of Alaskan nature. A modern nordic style throughout the home allows for space to declutter your mind and ground yourself.

The main living space is open to allow for flow between gathering in the sofa and seating area, dining, and kitchen. Above the main living space hangs an NYO ball. NYO Games, previously known as the Native Youth Olympics, includes 10 events based on games past generations of Alaska Native people played as a way to test their hunting and survival skills, increase strength and maintain endurance, agility and the balance of mind and body. As an NYO coach, Annie loves to share Alaskan Native traditions with guests.

There is plenty of seating, 8 at the kitchen table and 4 at the bar. No matter if you are making up a quick meal or a feast, you'll find the kitchen to be well appointed with everything necessary. To encourage connection with nature and slower paced getaways, we do not provide a microwave nor TV. You may bring your own device to stream your favorite shows/movies.

★★ABOUT YOUR HOST, ANNIE★★

Annie, the homeowner and designer, has roots that run deep in Seward. Growing up in Seattle, she had a strong desire to move back to Alaska. Being close to water, mountains, and subsistence is in her blood. Seward is completely surrounded by mountains, wildlife, water, and traditional foods. Annie spent her summers hiking, fishing, canning berries and smoking salmon.

Annie and her family are indigenous to Alaska. Her father is Aleut and her mom is Yupik. Tradition and culture are very important. We hope that Alagnaq Inn gives voice to Alaskan natives and you leave this land with honor and appreciation. Alagnaq means "Berry" or "Salmon Berry" in the Alutiiq language. This name was chosen for the abundance of berries in this region.

Annie’s great grandparents raised her grandpa and his siblings in the Jesse Lee Home for displaced children. You can see the former location of the Jesse Lee Home from the Alagnaq Inn front deck. It was located in the large fenced in property across the road.

Please note: Property is in a new development, and there is periodic construction in the neighborhood during daytime hours. Our completely private downstairs suite may be also rented out during your stay. The suite is 100% private from Alagnaq Inn. There may be some coming and going of vehicles/people, but we encourage all of our guests to be respectful and follow our quiet hours of 10pm-6am. The entire property including the downstairs suite can be rented under our other listing that sleeps 10 people.
Plenty of space for parking. Harbor is a 10 minute walk. Free local shuttle stop (seasonal in summer) is located .5 miles away. Taxi recommendations available.
