The lodge is situated in a stunning location right on the bay, perfect for nature lovers and outdoor activities. The views from my room were absolutely beautiful, making it a memorable experience. However, the bathrooms need urgent renovations, and there's limited food options available outside of mealtimes. It's a charming place for a short stay, but it could use some improvements for longer visits.

My stay at the lodge was quite nice with clean accommodations and a picturesque location close to Glacier Bay. The shuttle service from the airport was convenient, and I truly enjoyed the natural beauty surrounding the area. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired, with food quality and service being average at best. While the overall experience was good, I wouldn't say it was worth the price considering the amenities offered.

My experience at the lodge was quite memorable, surrounded by stunning nature and an atmosphere that felt welcoming. Our room was spacious and clean, plus we were thrilled with the proximity to outdoor activities like hiking and boat tours. However, there were issues with hot water during our stay and the dining options were somewhat limited. The lodge provides a unique connection to the natural surroundings but could improve on some facilities.
