The Lodge
The Bear Track Inn features hand-crafted log construction with 14 spacious guest rooms, each with private baths and two queen size beds. The lobby is the focal point, stretching 30 feet from floor to ceiling, offering inspiring views of streams, wildlife, mountains, forests, meadows, and of Icy Strait. Wilderness abounds from windows throughout the lodge. Bask in front of a walk-around fireplace. There are overstuffed suede couches, handmade tables, hand-crafted chandeliers and lighting fixtures, including two moose antler chandeliers. Everything has been hand picked to compliment the building.
Accommodation
The guest rooms are huge (270 square feet). Each room has two queen size beds, table and chairs, an armoire, and a trestle bench. The second floor rooms have vaulted ceilings and views which can not be matched anywhere in Gustavus. All rooms have down comforters, 200 thread count sheets, down pillows, and thick bath sheets.
Meals
The dining room features a family-style atmosphere with all meals included in the rate. Breakfast and dinner are served in the dining room, with lunch provided on any excursions. Walk into the dining room, being greeted by the hostess, and choose between locally brewed beer or an extensive wine list to compliment the dinner menu. Choose between three to six entrees that could include steak, salmon, halibut, pork tenderloin, chicken, musk ox, caribou and vegetarian dishes. If this does not tempt your tastes buds, there will also be nightly specials, such as Halibut Parmesan, Excursion Halibut, Salmon in Parchment, or many other Inn specialties. Combine this with Alaskan favorites such as Dungeness Crab, Alaskan Spotted Prawns, seafood soups and salads, homemade breads, freshly made dressings, and finish with dazzling desserts. It's a dinner to remember.
Activities
We offer salt water charters for barn-door sized halibut and hard-hitting salmon. Enjoy fishing secluded streams for Pink, Silver, Sockeye, or Chum Salmon. Also catch Dolly Varden, Cutthroat Trout, or Steelhead in their season. Choose your own vessel for a whale watching adventure, a 23 passenger vessel, a six passenger touring vessel, or on a one or two person kayak. You can hike into Glacier Bay National Park and see seldom viewed waterfalls, bears, moose, or wolves. You can choose to be dropped off on a deserted beach with six other brave souls to create a self-guided bike trip. Not satisfied yet? Many custom tours including bear watching, excursions to Skagway for a ride on the historic White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad, and golfing packages can fit into your itinerary...again the choice is yours!
