We stayed there for 3 nights last August. We enjoyed it immensely. The room was lovely. Best of all was the food. It was simple, very fresh. It started with appetizers at the bar where you could have a glass of wine. One night it was sushi; another very fresh halibut sashimi. The dinner was family style. One night it... More

We came to Gustavus for my mom's 60th birthday in June and had the most incredible time. Dave and his staff could not have been more accommodating. The rooms are quite comfortable and the food simply amazing. I still dream about the breakfasts--the best pancakes with homemade spruce tip syrup that's made from the spruce tips everyone gathers in spring.... More

If you're staying in Gustavus, I highly recommend the Gustavus Inn. The food was wonderful--simple, but creative, and with lots of fresh seafood. They were very accomodating, offering my wife gluten-free choices at every meal (and it was far better than typical gluten free). This was among the best food we had on our entire Alaska trip. The inn is... More

When visiting Gustavus, AK your dining options are extremely limited. However, Gustavus Inn outshined all the competing lodges. On a sunny day you can sit out on the deck stroll the garden and drink an Alaskan Raspberry Wheat. The food is served "homestyle" which means you are forced to interact with fellow travelers at a large table. This also means... More

We loved the Gustavus Inn! The Inn is family owned and has an interesting, very accommodating and laid back staff. Our room was very large with a queen size bed, a twin bed and a good sized, clean and simple bathroom. Ours also had a small sitting area with a porch that opened to the backyard/garden area and could be... More

We loved staying at the Gustavus Inn at Glacier Bay our fab tour company failed to book us in to any accommodation. So after our tour guide driving us all over Gustavus, we ended up at the Gustavus Inn. (So we actually ended up with the best deal, the other places where defiantly not as nice and some just plan...

I was here for 3 days in August. Service is exceptional: They pick you up at the airport, free mountain bikes, transfer to the Glacier bay tour or the Whale watching tour,etc... . The location is wonderful and very quiet. Ther are very few people in Gustavus (I consider it a plus!) . Rooms are very clean and confortable. You... More

We enjoyed two nights, great breakfasts, packed lunches and friendly dinners shared with other guests. Free wifi, bikes. Interesting gardens to walk around. A laid back homely feel with attentive owners and staff. Nice cafe nearby serving the best espresso coffee that we came across in Alaska. Not a lot else in Gustavus though except for its access to the... More

We couldn't have picked a better base for our stay in southeast Alaska. The food lived up to its reputation. (Try EVERYTHING - the kelp pickles and salsa were unexpected treats!) The innkeepers have a fascinating family history, and probably know everything there is to know about the area. Between the bicycles and van transportation (both provided by the inn),... More
