“Glacier Bay I will Return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

people found this review helpful

My wife and I were able to go up there and spend a great time with friends. I dont think we could have asked for more. We had our own cabin that gave us all the privacey we needed. We would all get together at night in the dining hall and play games together. They have a great atmosphere for having fund and playing games.

The fishing was amazing! We had such a wonderful guide who did all the work and made it easy for us but also let us get our hands dirty if we wanted. We walked away with a VERY large amount of fish!!!

The food was perfect. Breakfast was made fresh every morning and was soooo go. Sack lunches were made for us every day and they had the best bread I have ever tasted. Dinner was amazing, they always had options for us and I was always satisfied.

The service was friendly and prompt. They care about their customes and we will be returning. You should go too!!!

“Excellent choice to experience Alaska.”

We have been planning to go to Alaska for some time now and this year we were finally able to make it happen. The trip was excellent all around and we could not have been happier.

The lodge is family operated and they were very kind and made sure we had the best experience possible. The food, service, and of course the fishing were fantastic.

“A New Family Favorite”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2009

people found this review helpful

My husband and I visited Alaska in July and it was one of the best trips we have ever had. Alaska had always been on our "places to go list" and we were finally able to make the trip. We searched the internet and decided on this place. There were so many options of activites that we had a hard time deciding but we ended up going fishing in the ocean, taking the glacier bay cruise, and kayaking. The lodge staff also gave us some information about a hike to an old plane wreck and we spent our free day hiking through the forest.

The location was amazing and we could not believe all of the animals that we saw. We caught a lot of Halibut and brought it home with us on the plane. The hotel staff were very nice and made our trip very comfortable. The food was absolutely amazing. We had our own little cabin which was great since it gave us the privacy we were looking for.

The town was a few minutes away and full of very friendly people. The boat guide were great and kept us entertained the whole time. I am not sure what else to say other than this was a great place to visit especially if you have a love for the outdoors.

“Like I overstayed my welcome!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2009

I felt as though our stay was an imposition to these people. Soft drinks or iced tea was served warm and reluctantly. Nothing was left out between meals, so you had to make your drink request from someone back in the kitchen. It wouldn't have been so bad if the tap water was potable, however, the bad pipes and sulpher made the water undrinkable.

They only had about 12 beers and a couple bottles of wine for 22 guests on a four day stay. Thankfully we didn't have too many drinkers, so it wasn't a big deal, but not what you'd expect, especially since this is supposedly a revenue source for them.

The walls had pictures of Jesus in a western setting, and Mormon literature in the rooms, so I guess the rest shouldn't have been surprising. Some kind of LDS logo should be added to their website just as a courtesy for those who may find this a bit uncomfortable.

The food was good, the fishing was decent and the scenery was nice. The people, though not overly eager to please, were pleasant enough. It almost made us feel bad to not use the "gratuity" envelopes they left in the rooms.

A little bit more enthusiasm and customer service would go a long way with this otherwise nice little outfit.
