The Quaint Little Town In Alaska That Will Steal Your Heart Forever

One of the best things about Alaska is its quaint little towns. Scattered all across the state, these little hamlets each have their own brand of charm. Here’s a little town that’s so adorable that it will steal your heart forever once you visit.

If you're looking for a quaint, quiet little town, you need to visit Seldovia. Home to fewer than 300 people, it's a beautiful place, and you'll fall in love the moment you see it.

Seldovia is located southwest of Homer, and it's a quick boat or plane trip across the bay to reach it.

Fishing is an important part of the tight-knit community here, and every May, residents hold a special ceremony where they bless the fishermen and fleet.

Take a stroll around town to soak in the scenery and breathe the fresh air.

While you're here, take a kayak tour with Kbay Kayaking. Owner Madalyn Grahn knows all about the history of this place, and she'll take you on a tour of Seldovia Bay that you'll never forget.

When it's time for lunch or a snack, pop into the Seldovia Hotel, Pub & Grill.

Everything on the menu here is delicious, but you'll definitely need a cup of their legendary seafood chowder. The hotel also offers 12 private rooms.

You won't want to miss the Craft Invitational Chainsaw Carving Competition held here every year over Labor Day weekend. The intricate sculptures that these artists create using chainsaws are simply amazing.

If you're looking for a unique place to stay that offers great hospitality, check out Between Beaches. Rent one of the adorable little cabins...

...go for a stroll on the beach...

...or explore Kachemak Bay with one of the kayaks and boats available for guests to use.

While Seldovia is a great place for a day trip, it's even better when you spend several days exploring it!
