My husband and I stayed 14 days in this place that breathes peace.
For many people may be many days in a place where only there is nature, no shops or restaurants or TV in the room, only trees, trails, waterfalls, relax, peace, fresh air and also a slow internet connection enough to distracted in idle time.
People usually only spend 3 nights in this place and take advantage to carry out activities in the area, Bear View, Kayak, Fishing and Whale Watching of Humpback Whale for this animals we spend 10 days, amazing!.
We recommend all people that spend some days in this fantastic place with lovely people. Many kisses for Janie, Mary and Claudia, women charming.

Fabulous remote location. Very quiet. Well thought out and furnished bedrooms with lots of space. The huge guests' lounge was fantastic with plenty of comfortable sofas to curl up on and enjoy the views. Food/restaurant was marvellous and all the staff, owner/manager very welcoming and helpful.
Glacier Bay trip and whale watching organised for us by the hotel were excellent.

This lodge is outstanding, gorgeous, comfortable...hidden away in a green forest on the edge of the famous whale waters of Glacier Bay. The rooms are huge, very clean, with great views. The main rooms are an amazing combination of sophisticated, yet genuine and cozy. It immediately reminded me of the great lodges in Yellowstone (only smaller) and it turns out the owners has designed it from scratch with that in mind. The service was excellent from the owner who was completely accessible down to the cleaning people. There are even stacks of wellington rain boots in all sizes to make your walk around the often wet grounds perfectly comfortable. There is a gourmet restaurant here, too. What a surprise!!! The meals, especially the dinners, were 5-star delicious. Again, the wait staff was super efficient and friendly and fun. At breakfast we were treated to homemade jams and syrups to go with tasty pancakes. This is a 5-star hotel/lodge and I highly and unconditionally recommend it.

We stayed here for 5 nights in July. You will love this lodge if you are looking to commune with nature. This place is in the middle of beautiful wilderness. The staff will help coordinate any trips you want to take while you are there. I highly recommend the Glacier Bay boat trip. There are also whale watching trips, fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, kayaking, even (adventure) golf! The meals are great, and if you have any special dietary needs, they will accommodate you. I have to eat gluten free. The chef made me special meals which was an extra treat for me. The large lobby area has many comfy chairs and couches to sit in to read, or just look out the huge windows overlooking the scenery. You can play board games, or work on a puzzle, and enjoy the fireplace. We loved Bandit, the resident dog. He will join you on hikes if you want him to. We took him along for protection from the bears. Make your reservations early, and get a second floor room facing the front of the lodge if you can. The view is awesome. The rooms are nicely sized and very clean. Janie, the owner, is more than happy to talk to you about the lodge and give you some advice on planning your trip. A very relaxing place to stay! If you have never been to southeast Alaska, and are used to warmer climates, as we are, being from Houston, make sure you take warmer clothes and rain gear. The temperature can vary from 50 degrees one day, to 73 degrees the next in the summer. It rains a lot in southeast Alaska since it is considered the northern most rain forest in the North American continent. But it is beautiful, even in the rain, and if you are dressed properly, you will still enjoy it. Think layers that you can put on or take off as needed. Take some comfortable rain boots or waterproof hiking boots. Take waterproof outerwear so you don't get soaked in an all day drizzle. And if you are going out on the water, remember it can be up to 10 degrees cooler on deck. If you have your hat and gloves, and you are prepared, you can stay up on deck and enjoy the scenery. It is the most beautiful place I think we have ever seen. There is so much wildlife, waterfalls, green mountains, and rocky ones with snow, wildflowers, rivers, and lakes, fjords, glaciers, and lush forests. It is a feast for the eyes! We definitely want to go back!
