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.

Great little cabin and view! We loved watching the helicopters fly in and out. The deck at the restaurant was a great place to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views. We were glad we made the choice to stay!

It was a great property. Very scenic and beautiful. Well maintained cabins. The restaurant staff was also very friendly. We took the glacier experience which was right there, it was very flexible.

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.

We really enjoyed the deck, watching the moose that wondered around the property, and the cabin. Since we didn’t plan to go for a helicopter ride, it probably wasn’t the best location for us. There were limited things to do nearby.

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.
