Beautiful setting . Not much around there so need a car if staying more than one night. A full service restaurant would be nice but food was decent. Deck has great views. Fun to watch helicopters take off and land.

Perfection!

The views are amazing. The cabin was perfect, staff is very friendly. Just what we needed after an 8 day camping/road trip. We had a wonderful time and would return again on our next visit to AK.

Best stop on this trip.

This was one of the most pleasant places we stayed on our trip in Alaska. I lived there in the past, wife didn't, both enjoyed the trip. Of the places we stayed, Alaska Glacier Lodge was the cleanest and easiest to relax in. We will happily return in the future.

It was great watching the helicopters take off and land and very convenient to take the helicopter tours. Heater did not work in our room. There was no way to regulate the temperature. It either kept running until it was too hot or we had to turn it completely off.

Beautiful views, comfy and cozy cabins. If you are hoping for quiet and time to nap that won’t happen as helicopters are coming and going constantly right in front of the cabins. Otherwise it is lovely.

It was clean, it was rustic but in a modern way, the area was peaceful, was right on the premises where the our activity took place. The Lodge itself was great. The service at the restaurant though was disappointing, a "thumbs down". So except for that alone, everything was great.

We really liked our cabin! It was fun to watch the helicopters come in and out but then after a while, got to be a bit much because they were loud. The two women in the front office were super nice. Loved having a laundry facility. Big clean room and very quiet.
