Gustavus Inn
Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska-USA
Hotel / Inn
Gustavus Inn is a historic homestead in the center of activities in Glacier Bay National Park. For three generations now, the Lesh family invites visitors to share their home, hearth and table for adventures in Glacier Bay and Icy StraitGustavus Inn rests in the grassy Salmon River meadow with an ocean view of Icy Strait. Our cozy hearth room, naturalist library and family style dining invite conversation and new friendships. We serve a variety of locally brewed beers and wine at our six-stool bar.
Gustavus Inn hearkens back to simpler times. We enjoy the role of innkeepers, allowing you to focus on our unique country and its adventures. We’ll help plan for your priorities, be it charter fishing, kayaking, whalewatching, viewing eagles, fishing in the river, or finding ripe wild strawberries and likely places for a particular bird, wildflower or mushroom.
Gustavus Inn will plan your group’s week-long adventures by boat. Fish all of Icy Strait and into Cross Sound seeking King and Silver Salmon , Halibut, ground fish, sharks, and rockfish. Visit Elfin Cove, Excursion Inlet, or Hoonah.
A common view from the Gustavus pier
The scenic open terrain, surrounded by water and
snowcapped mountains, encourages sunset strolls and easy bicycling, a hike through an emerald rainforest; or enjoy bonfires and pick wild strawberries on untamed ocean beaches. A favorite before dinner activity is stream fishing (with our rods) for Dolly Varden and pink salmon in the nearby Salmon River. Several art galleries and shops allow an afternoon wander to select local products.
