    Centrally located, Arctic Paradise is comfortable and well kitted out for a solo traveler or a couple. Mary Ann rents out just the one room. She makes the breakfast ahead of time and puts it in the room’s fridge so guests can have it in the...

    Mary Ann contacted me several times before my arrival to make sure my stay was comfortable. The room and bathroom were very clean, too. The best part, though, was the bedding. I slept very well!

    Lovely place to stay in Barrow. Beautiful home with Inuit art. Very comfortable, clean room. Hosts very helpful and welcoming. Good breakfast. Unless you need to stay in the big hotel or the one near the airport, this is far more home-like...

Winner Booking dot com Guest Review Award-2018, Winner "Most Charming B&B 2016 - Alaska" - LUX 2016 Hotel and Spa Awards “Arctic Paradise B&B in Seward Alaska- a great place for women to stay. Fantastic reviews, places to explore, outdoor adventures and creative workshops” Womentravelblog “Her guest reviews are outstanding – it is definitely on my list of places to stay if I go to Alaska” Rosemary Neave- Women Travel the World– April 2016 Arctic Paradise B&B is quiet, cozy, centrally located and has the most incredible view ever!
I am a wildlife biologist and Interior Designer/owner of Northern Lights Home Staging and Design. I am also an artist (stained glass, jewelry, fractal art, alcohol ink), dance, music, and Tai Chi teacher, and the Director and Assistant Director of 2 different dance companies. I love being creative!
My neighborhood is quiet and friendly, 2 blocks from Resurrection Bay and centrally located right between the two major areas of things to see and do, the small boat harbor and downtown Seward. It is the perfect location to walk to everything.
