As somebody who is almost always cold, Alaska was not high on my list of places to visit. The Bear Track Inn made it well worth the trip, from the little details like providing raincoats, mud boots, and sack lunches, to the nice surprise of finding hot appetizers and coffee wating for me at the end of the day after...

We stayed here for two nights as part of a 30-day tailormade trip of Canada (mainly) and Alaska 8 days. The inn is an enormous log cabin with a central fireplace in the extremely spacious lounge/reception area. The rooms are equally spacious and very comfortable (no tv but that was not a problem). Meals were tasty and substantial with good... More

Our 8-member group loved the hospitality and accommodations of the Bear Track Inn. We would all go back in a minute! The food was outstanding and the main lodge area was comfortable and homey. We used the BTI as a launch point for a camping excursion on Chichigof Island and as a return sanctuary after three days in the wild.... More

A true gem in the wilderness. A 14 room log cabin lodge run by Jane Olney Sheahan whose husband designed the lodge and had it built in Canada before dismantling and having sent by barge and rebuilt in Alaska. All room are large. You are treated as family. Jane, son and staff do everything to accomodate your every wish. They... More

So lovely to find such a charming place (building and property) and such a wonderful service in such a remote area. Thanks Jen for maintaining such a beatiful place and take so good care of the ones that visit you (your afternnon tea is a true bless for the senses). Love from Maria and Jose Portugal

Glacier Bay's Bear Track Inn is a ***wonderful*** place. Janie, who is the owner of the Inn, is a very gracious hostess: she emails you ahead of your trip and greets everyone personally when you arrive. She is very knowledgable about the area and was very helpful in helping us plan out and get to all of the wonderful things... More

Spent three nights at this wonderful lodge very close to Glacier Bay in Alaska. Beautifully appointed, large rooms, excellent food and staff who could not do enough to make sure you had a great time. Innkeeper Janie fixed everything...from the light engined plane that brought me from Juneau over the mountains (seeing mountain goats on the snowline on the way),... More

The Bear Track Inn has to be the ultimate Alaskan adventure inn. You wouldn't expect such a beautiful lodge providing 5 star service in such a remote area such as Gustavus. The food they prepare is amazing, they are on top of everybody's itinerary, and Jane (who runs the Inn) personally greets you with a review of your next day's... More

If you go to Glacier Bay National Park, this is the place to stay! The Inn is one of the most impressive places you can stay. The log lobby with a nice fire almost makes you not want to leave. The staff is outstanding, and with only 14 rooms you will receive all the attention you want. The dining experience... More
