Planning our Alaskan Trip of a lifetime, my wife and I checked the reviews for Gustavus B&Bs and thought Blue Heron looked like an interesting place to stay a night or two in mid July. I phoned Deb on April 27 and the phone mesage said they were away for the weekend but would be checking e-mail. I left a... More

We stayed for four nights and were delighted with everything. The room was lovely and clean with a great view, the breakfasts were varied and delicious, and everything Deb booked for us, including the flight over from Juneau, the whale watch, the kayaking trip, dinner at a local inn, and a trip into Glacier Bay, more than met our expectations....

Myself and 2 friends stayed in the Fireweed Cabin for 2 nights in June. We were greeted by Deb as our flight landed and were given a guided tour of the town before being shown to our cabin. The cabin was located overlooking the wilderness and was in excellent condition and spectacularly clean with a full kitchen and bathroom. Bikes... More

I can't imagine a better B&B anywhere. Very comfortable, large, clean, like new room. Deb and Charlie, the owners are very nice and set up activities for me and either took me themselves or set up a ride. Breakfasts were awesome with freshly rolled oats used for the oatmeal, omelettes with your choice of many ingredients, french toast, rhubarb crisp... More

We recently came back from 5 days at the Blue Heron Bed and Breakfast and can't say enough good things about it. They have cabins and rooms and both are absolutely charming, and comfortable, with just the right amount of space, even for us with a small baby. We started out with 3 days in a cabin and ended with... More

Our group of 6 stayed here for 3 nights and were very, very pleased. Deb met us at the airport and took us back when we had to depart. She arranged all the tours and rental cars. Accomodations in the 2 cabins and View Room were outstanding. Everything was clean and nice and even most of the bikes worked. Food... More

It was our first trip to Alaska! I did enough research to know we wanted to stay at Gustavus or Glacier Bay, take the day glacier cruise, go whale watching, try half a day of kayaking, and take a small airplane to and from Juneau. What I didn't know was how to dress, how to get to all the places,... More

Gustavus, Alaska is the "gateway" to Glacier Bay National Park, and the Blue Heron is a wonderful place to experience the wild beauty of this area and also to get to know the "town" and its people. It is a hidden gem within a hidden gem and so is extra special. We were a family of four and by the... More

I chose to stay in Gustavus to be away from the tourist crowds and the cruise ships. I wasn't disappointed. Deb and Charlie go the extra mile to make sure their guests have a great Alaska experience. They provide a tremendous breakfast with hand rolled oatmeal, omelette's, berry pancakes, French toast and fresh fruit. And the coffee is the best... More
