Glacier Bay Alaska at the Glacier Bay Country Inn

Glacier Bay Country Inn is your home-away-from-home, a private escape complete with four-star comforts you wouldn't expect from a glacier bay lodge.

Then again, Glacier Bay Country Inn is no ordinary glacier bay lodge.

The Glacier Bay Country Inn experience is a life adventure that has no equal in the world. Here where you can fish and tour amid unparalleled scenery and solitude, with ample opportunities for rest and relaxation.

The main lodge houses five specially themed guest rooms, with each accommodating either yourself or up to four guests. A large dining room and kitchen comprise the first floor of the lodge, and for guests' entertainment, they offer a "keeping room," library, and game/TV room on the second floor. The lodge offers several hundred videos for your viewing pleasure, or endless opportunities to view Nature outside one of our picture-perfect scenic windows.

They also have five private cabins outside that accommodate up to four guests each and are good for anglers who wish to spread out their fishing gear, kick back on a porch, and take in the evening with talk or debate. Here you can savor the important things in life like camaraderie with new and old friends, reliving memories of past adventures, negotiating future business opportunities, or maybe nothing at all other than to just enjoy being alive.

All rooms and cabins offer first-class maid service. Thick towels, soft quilts and flannel sheets provide the comfort necessary for a good night's rest, preparing you for another day of angling and adventuring, Alaska style!

Your choice of a room or cabin blends security and comfort with a decor that mirrors the many wonders of the Glacier Bay Alaska wilderness. Each day, the staff fine-tunes the comforts of your cabin, so that it's always ready when you need it.

The benefits of these accommodations extend beyond mere shelter. Nestled in the center of 160 acres of remote rain forest, your private cabin or room is a comfortable base for many activities. This lodge is located just 4 miles from the Glacier Bay National Park where you can enjoy activities such as Alaska fishing, kayaking in the bay, whale watching, glacier bay boat cruises, tours of the park, wildlife viewing, and the list goes on and on.

When you return from your adventures a three-course dinner of fresh gourmet Alaska cuisine will be waiting. After dinner you may visit with friends or mingle with a handful of guests from around the world on the outdoor gazebo who are also enjoying their own life adventures. Start to prepare for the evening's entertainment from the comfort of your cabin porch, savor a glass of wine or herbal tea and watch moose graze in a nearby meadow as song birds engage in an evening symphony. Listen closely. These melodies set the mood and prepare you to see the spectacular in the subtle.

In the privacy and charm of these surroundings, push back in your porch chair and bask in the warm orange glow of an Alaska sunset. The flickering shafts of sunbeams soon become a ballet of light, darting and weaving through the pinnacles of towering spruce. Alder leaves twirl in a puff of wind, adding a finale of grace and awe. The exhaling breeze stirs the wind chimes in a final crescendo that signals the end of another memorable day.

It is easy to understand why our guests keep returning to our Glacier Bay lodge. Once here they become one with the land, and this merging is achieved through a simple prescription: we balance adventure and excitement with reflection and contemplation. Glacier Bay Alaska allows you to discover the symbiotic benefits of man integrating with nature, a relationship forgotten long ago when big cities replaced forests. But at Glacier Bay, these benefits are plentiful and free for the taking.

When it's time to turn in to your cabin for the day, the cabin is your private retreat to enjoy by yourself or share with a loved one. There are no noisy guests, loud outboard motors, or rabble rousing from inexperienced camp help. This is time to wander off in your memories of glaciers, fly fishing remote rivers, or anticipate the adventures of tomorrow. The tranquil magic of Glacier Bay will ease you into a restful peace, further lulled by the sound of sandhill cranes migrating south, or the soft melody of rain falling through the spruce rain forest. The down comforter on your bed --the kind you remember when you've been most happy and secure--warms your body into a tingly coziness.

If you close your eyes and think about it, the reason for this comfort is obvious:

These are no ordinary memories and experiences. When you stay at Glacier Bay Country Inn, these events become treasures of the heart that you will cherish for a lifetime.

So go ahead and drift into a dream-filled, restful sleep, your body warm and glowing, satisfied with a happiness of knowing you made the right decision in choosing Glacier Bay Country Inn for your Alaska vacation.
