The food is a knock out, especially considering how far away you are from anything. The staff is wildly friendly to boot. I wanted to take the bakery chef (also the dessert chef) Michael with me when I left, but then I'd turn into a sphere. The lodge itself is nice looking, but not utterly spectacular -- depends what you're... more

The Bear Track Inn is a lovely lodge. We stayed there for three nights in July and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Getting to the lodge is half the fun. Janie arranged our flight from Juneau, and the trip across the channel and through the pass on the small plane was absolutely beautiful. Janie and Bob met us at the Gustavus... more

Pros: Beautiful log lodge with large windows/comfortable/ quantity of food/friendly staff/clean Cons: a long drive from every activity, food quality/preparation was poor - this is not a gourmet restraunt, hidden charges on activities While I liked the lodge and the staff were very nice I would not stay there again or recommend it to friends. I was expecting much higher... more

We had a great time staying here. It was what we used as a base for our family trip to the Glacier Bay area. From the lodge we took day trips out to our planned excursions (i.e., whale watching). Things we loved the most: 1.) "Evening at the Lodge" - Each evening it seemed everyone would come back from their... more

Janie and her friendly, competent, staff made our first trip up to Alaska a memorable one. Avoiding the cruise ship herd was our intention and Janie's Bear Track Inn certainly fit the bill. We took several day trips (Skagway, Dog Sledding on Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Kayaking with the Whales, Deep Sea Fishing for King Salmon & Halibut, Glacier Bay... more

You could not ask for a more friendly place. Room was spacious. Staff was very helpful. I especially liked the way they coordinated your stay with any side trips you planned Food was great. I'd gp back in an instant and stay for another week.It was a unique experience and should not be missed!!!!! more

We are picky travelers and did a lot of research before choosing the Bear Track Inn for our "once in a lifetime" trip to Alaska. For us, we couldn't have picked a better spot. The great room of the lodge could have come out of a brochure for Yellowstone... comforable sofas and chairs, log walls, huge center fireplace. Very comfortable... more

My husband and I waited 5 years to take a vacation because wanted it to be special and we wanted to go to Alaska. We spent half of our trip at Katmai Lodge watching the bears and the other half in Gustavus/Glacier Bay. Following is an excerpt from a letter went sent to Bear Track Inn after our stay: "What... more

This was the 3rd time that 2 oaf the 3 couples have stayed there and from my husband's and my point of view, it just keeps getting better.
