It was great watching the helicopters take off and land and very convenient to take the helicopter tours. Heater did not work in our room. There was no way to regulate the temperature. It either kept running until it was too hot or we had to turn it completely off.

We did not get our beds made during our stay! I thought it was a hotel, not a camping.

The place is clean and surrounded with mountains and glacier. If you want solitude, this is the place. The helicopter ride here is so convenient.

Beautiful setting . Not much around there so need a car if staying more than one night. A full service restaurant would be nice but food was decent. Deck has great views. Fun to watch helicopters take off and land.

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.
