Alaska Glacier Lodge

This placevis so peaceful. Cabin was wsrm and voxy and the lodge offers good and beverages. And the Alaska helicopter crew there is also great. Highly recommend. We will be back.

Consapevole dei soldi (600€) spesi per le ultime due notti in Alaska, mi sono ritrovata con rumori assordanti di elicotteri accesi e pronti per partire o in atterraggio fino alle ore 19. Le cabine sono molto carine ma c’è odore di benzina (per il generatore), la tv out of order così come alcune spine. Seduta all’aperto mi è stato intimato di sloggiare perché nonostante fossi ospite della struttura non avevo acquistato il tour in elicottero. Praticamente è una pista per gli elicotteri e c’è più attenzione a chi acquista il salatissimo volo piuttosto per chi ha fatto il check-in al lodge.

This was our final revision to the trip and we did not stay here for the helicopter tour, as I can imagine most people pick this place for - not only we did know about it but also had already one booked during this trip somewhere else - but I must say seeing the helicopters coming down and up was pretty cool - the noise did not bother at all. The individual cabins are really nice, have smart TVs and amazing views outside - during our visit it was super cold/windy so regretfully we did not spend any time on the seats in front of the cabin, other than just for a very short time :( This is a pretty remote area, there is a small grocery store on the way pretty close buy called "General Store" that we passed by that did not really show up on google maps, but other than that you come here to unwind and enjoy the views + probably do the heli tour. The restaurant on the spot is actually pretty great, despite somewhat mediocre reviews out there - everything was fresh and made in house during our to-go dinner (reviewed separately) and they have wine and beer on top - so really everything is here that one needs to function during a nice stay! Breakfast included was very basic, but "better" than usual breakfast included at other places - fresh fruit + yogurt + granola. You can order hot stuff separately but you pay for it (see separate review of the restaurant). Complimentary coffee did the trick too in the morning. Overall, pricey place but nice, but do your homework and take advantage of the helicopter tour as otherwise you are probably overpaying for the convenience here of that option considering all factors.
