What Lodging and Amenities Are Available at Glacier Bear Lodge?

Updated

Glacier Bear Lodge in Yakutat, Alaska, offers guest rooms with two full-sized beds, full baths, and a sitting area, plus on-site dining, a bar, a billiards room, and a pro shop. This setup suits travelers who want a comfortable base between guided fishing or glacier tours and don't want to leave the property for meals or gear. If you need a kitchen, multiple-room suites, or detailed nightly rates, the source material doesn't cover those, so confirm directly before booking.

Guest Rooms

Each guest room at Glacier Bear Lodge includes:

  • Two new full-sized beds
  • A full bath
  • A sitting area
  • Space to hang your gear after a day on the water

The lodge describes the accommodations as designed for "utmost comfort and convenience" amid the natural beauty of Yakutat. The gear-hanging space is a practical detail for anglers returning from the Situk River or a day on the water — wet waders and rods need somewhere to go.

On-Site Dining and Bar

The lodge's restaurant and bar serve meals on property, and the bar area has a big-screen TV showing sporting events. There's also a billiards room for unwinding after a day of fishing.

This matters if you're staying multiple nights: you can eat, watch a game, and shoot pool without driving into town. The source doesn't list menu items, hours, or whether the restaurant is open year-round, so check ahead if dining on-site is essential to your trip.

Pro Shop

The pro shop sits on the second level of the main lodge. It stocks:

  • Flies for the Situk River — useful if you're fishing the local water and want to match what's working
  • Merchandise to remember your stay

Buying flies on-site saves a trip into Yakutat before an early start on the river.

What to Confirm Before Booking

The source doesn't state room capacity limits, whether rates vary by season, check-in times, or whether the restaurant and pro shop operate year-round. If any of those affect your decision, contact Glacier Bear Lodge directly through the Book Now or Contact options on their site.

For context on what you'd be doing between stays, the lodge runs guided fishing, non-guided fishing, and guided glacier tours — and recently hosted Adam Eakle of KSL Outdoors for salmon fishing on the Situk River, where the crew caught Coho and saw grizzly bears and bald eagles.
