“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...”

Christy

“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!”

I’m a wildlife biologist, interior designer, artist, and owner of Northern Lights Home Staging and Design. I create energy art and home decor, stained glass, jewelry, and alcohol ink pieces. I also teach Tai Chi, drumming, and dance, and serve as Director and Assistant Director of two dance companies. Creativity is at the heart of everything I do—and I love sharing it with others.

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.
