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.

We booked a last minute stay and helicopter tour here. We liked the remote feel of the property, but was disappointed that the microwaves had been removed from the cabins. Apparently they are no longer listed under amenities but are still shown in the pictures. We had food that needed to be reheated and had to walk to the restaurant and ask them to heat it. They did, but didn’t seem too happy, forgot about it and it was only lukewarm by the time we got it. We loved watching the helicopters take off and the convenience of being able to just walk there for our tour in morning. The person in the office that helped me book it worked so hard, they were sold out for the Grand Knik tour but she was able to make it happen. Our pilot Cameron was great. Highly recommend!!

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.

Unit 6, smells like sewer! Brown dried stains on wall in front of toilet!refrig does not come on. No air or fan. given different room, #5 No carafe for coffee maker, no coffee. Very hot and stuffy, opened all windows I am paying much less for the Alyeska resort in Girdwood, that is fully furnished, stocked, immaculate plus AC and fan! Served very old brown/black mushy lettuce in my halibut sandwich and side salad, bun was old and stale. Served old flat procecco, no bubbles! What next?? No customer service. This establishment needs to be reported to DOH. The worst I have ever seen. I booked this as I wanted to see Palmer since I went up to the park thru Wasilla. This is no where near a town, no services and no opportunity to get another place to stay or a meal. My BAD for thinking this was in Palmer! Good thing I got gas in Wasilla as I had No idea I would be driving 20 miles out in the country away from the Hwy then 20 miles back to the highway. Be ashamed!! NOT how you treat visitors and guests to the great state of Alaska! You do need the Health dept to assist in your cleanliness and customer service in hospitality and safe food handling. Need I say more???

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.

My son and I enjoyed our stay at Alaska Glacier Lodge between May 17 - May 19, 2024. Alaska Glacier Lodge is situated in a unique place surrounded by lakes and mountains. Unique sunset and sunrise, gorgeous area, breathtaking views, excellent customer service. You could get a helicopter glacier tour right from the property. The place is clean, well decorated, and cozy. Host was extremely responsive, and made the stay very enjoyable. Overall a great time! You wont be disappointed! Thank you, Tatiana
