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.
