This is essentially a national-park lodge and the only accommodations in the park itself. Located at Bartlett Cove, 8 miles northwest of Gustavus, the self-contained lodge has 55 rooms, a crackling fire in a huge stone fireplace and a dining room that usually hums in the evening with an interesting mixture of park employees, backpackers and locals from Gustavus.
Nightly slide presentations, ranger talks and movies held upstairs cover the park’s natural history.
Packages with bed, breakfast and an eight-hour park boat tour go for around $645 for two people.
