Our family absolutely loved our stay at Canoe Lake Chalet – Bear Den. The setting is simply breathtaking, with stunning views overlooking Canoe Lake and the mountains beyond. We enjoyed dinners and evening drinks on the deck while taking in the peaceful scenery—it was one of our favorite parts of the trip.There are a few flights of steps leading down to the lake; the views and lake access make it completely worthwhile. The canoes and fishing rods were such a thoughtful touch. Our boys had never caught trout before and were absolutely thrilled to fish from the dock and from canoes. We even grilled their trout on the bbq for our dinner! It ended up being one of the highlights of our Alaska vacation.The chalet is wonderfully set up for families. There were lots of games for the kids, and the bunk bed with trundle was perfect for them. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, and the beds were very comfortable.The owner was exceptionally welcoming and easy to communicate with. They reached out with helpful suggestions for the local area, made us feel right at home, and genuinely wanted us to have the best possible stay.We created wonderful family memories here and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Highly recommended!

Perfect location for hiking and kayaking. Gorgeous view (and access) of lake and mountains (best of both worlds). Host is super responsive and respectful of private space, plus a wealth of information about the area including tips on places to go and experience real Alaska. Highly recommend. Truly appreciate this being my first heavenly experience in beautiful Alaska!

We had 9 adults in our group; 3 couples and 3 singles. We stayed in the lower unit. It was clean and welcoming upon arrival, although there was an slight odor. The views are amazing and relaxing. There were fishing poles to fish in the lake. Overall nice stay.
