This is a place to be very nicely taken care of in the rugged wilderness close to Glacier Bay National Park. They will arrange all outings for you and transport you there and back. The staff is marvelous . . .warm and friendly and yet professional at the same time. It is magnificently comfortable, food is good, service is beyond... More

Use this wonderful lodge as your base for all your excursions and activities in this area of Alaska. BY ALL MEANS, DON'T ask the lodge to give you a ride into Gustavus (a gas station, a metal trailer that serves as the Post Office, a small coffee shop/"gallery", and a small fish processing business), without first checking to see how...

An incredible spot! Took my son for high school graduation gift/one on one time before he heads off to college and couldn't have been more pleased. Everything from the accommodations (large, clean guest rooms/very comfortable common areas), to the service (amazing staff), to the food - - all outstanding. In addition to the many positives experienced at the lodge, they... More

I brought our extended family to Bear Track Inn for six days and we all had a fabulous time! Claudia, Mary and Janie were amazing. They took great care of us, provided amazing excursions (whale watching, Glacier Bay cruise, flight and train trip in Skagway) and they even helped us with things to do for the kids (ages 9, 7...

Our original hotel had overbooked for the night, so they booked us at the Bear Track. Our initial disappointment completely vanished when we saw this magnificant structure. A beautiful log constructed lodge - the great room has one wall that is all windows overlooking a meadow that ended at the ocean. Our room was large and airy. After a full... More

Bear Track Inn has it all! You are a treasured guest from the moment you arrive at this magnificent lodge, until the last inhaled breath of pure Alaskan air. The staff is warm, kind, friendly and eager to make your stay the best. The rooms are spacious, clean and inviting. The chef prepared meals are absolutely delicious and they are... More

This was a great place to stay. They need to improve on the food. They need to improve on the recommended flight services to various locations. We used their suggestions for the flights and found the planes to be in poor condition and made us extremely nervous. My Husband is a pilot so we were very much aware of the... More

The Bear Track Inn was such a nice surprise! The log cabin design is spectacular. The staff couldn't be more accomodating led by Janie, the owner. A very special place - THE place to stay in Gustavus!

What an absolutely delightful surprise to find such an elegant and comfortable lodge amidst such a wild and beautiful place as Glacier bay National Park. The rooms are large and appointed with well thought out, comforts, colors and materials, including the bathroom which has all the comforts of a premium hotel. The food is outstanding and all freshly prepared on... More

The custom-built lodge is a work of art. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Meals are absolutely wonderful. The owner is amazing and went out of her way to arrange a second glacier tour for my family (after the ferry broke down during our first attempt). I don't know how she did it since it was prime tourist season... More
