Glacier Bay's Bear Track Inn — Hotel in Gustavus

We had a family stay of 4 nights here that included our teenage daughters and my 80 year old mom. So three generations and everyone loved the Inn and the experience. All of the staff are super friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make your stay exceptional. They are attentive and really deliver personalized service from the chefs to the drivers to guiding you on hikes and preparing you for your daily adventures with insight on all your needs. Highlights of the Inn include the extremely comfortable great room that has a fire and a warm and inviting atmosphere to relax in after your activities and large windows looking out for wildlife viewing. The food is non stop with generous and delicious breakfast, lunch and dinners as well as pre dinner appetizers. They also we're fantastic with dietary restrictions as my daughters have Celiac, and they rolled out an amazing variety of Gluten Free options for all the meals including some GF baked goods that rivaled any of the best GF bakeries we have found. No one wanted to leave. The Bear Track is a great place to launch your Glacier Bay NP adventures. The owners are very hands on and involved, extremely knowledgeable, and they also are continually improving the amenities with additional hiking map and trail options from the lodge, e-bikes for rent for a quick trip to town, and a sauna planned for the...

When we first walked in the door, we were immediately greeted by Michelle and her staff. They were very welcoming and kind to us. The staff that they had were amazing; from the chefs, to the front desk, to those who transported us around Gustavus. The food was absolutely delicious, and the chefs were very talented! The appetizers they had were perfect each evening. Michelle was so helpful in choosing and making arrangements for activities and excursions. From a day boat to whale watching to kayaking, each day packed full of wonderful adventure with a perfect place to return to for the evenings.

All of the staff were very kind and accommodating, but Adeline went out of her way to make the experience that much better. She was so knowledgeable and she knew her way around. When I found out it was her first time at the bear track inn it shocked me. It seemed like she’s been there her whole life. I loved that she asked me to make s’mores with her. It was fun and messy at the same time. She also went with us on a 12 mile bike ride. Even though I get left behind she stayed with me and talked to me until the bike ride was over.
