What a wonderful lodge experience close to a beautiful national.park. A fire was lit in the gorgeous fireplace nightly and people sat all around the spacious big room sipping beverages and enjoying the mountain view. There are numerous trails to meander along if so inclined.

We stayed here and weren’t affiliated with Princess Cruises, we just needed a place to crash for the night while traveling through Alaska. As long as your money is green they’ll let you in.

We would definitely stay here again. Good linens & bed, small A/C which we didn't need as there's a ceiling fan, box fan and you can open the window. Restaurant was expensive as other places in AK. We enjoyed having a bar and gift shop. Views were beautiful on the property. Stayed two nights and wish we had stayed another night.
