Chilkoot Haven: Wonderful Stay

Posted: Oct 7, 2023

Loved our stay at Chilkoot Haven. Only negative was we only were able to stay one night. Amazing room, clean and comfortable. Loved the hot tub and bbq. Great location overlooking the river. Saw bears walk practically right past with their cubs and watched them fish for salmon. Lovely stay. Could not recommend highly enough.

Chilkoot Haven: Another Awesome Experience

Posted: Sep 17, 2023

This is the third year my wife and I have spent our anniversary weekend at the Chilkoot Haven. It was a bit rainy this weekend so a different experience, but what a lovely place to just sit on the covered porch with a cup of coffee and watch the peaceful river scene…. Oh and an occasional bear to top it off!

 
Chilkoot Haven Room 2 Review

Posted: Sep 12, 2023

Chilkoot Haven is an outstanding and very unique accommodation in Haines, Alaska. Offering unparalleled and mesmerizing views over the Chilkoot River valley, it provides all the comforts one needs for a very pleasurable stay. We highly recommend booking here and look forward to returning!

 
Chilkoot Haven: Glad to return...

Posted: Sep 6, 2023

Although we are regulars, we had not been back since a year prior to COVID. We missed being there, and we were glad to see nothing has changed in a negative way. The room was clean and well looked after. We usually spend roughly two weeks annually there and are happy the Lodge is still as we remembered it. Will we come back? Definitely. The room is great, the view spectacular, and we made new friends while there. What more could you ask for??

Chilkoot Haven: Beautiful location

Posted: Jul 7, 2023

We stayed here for a one night in Haines and weren’t sure what to expect. Our stay was better than we could have hoped for. The location is absolutely beautiful overlooking the chillkoot river with a patio that has a small table and chairs for each room so you can sit overlooking the river. There is also a lovely area with a bbq, picnic table and hot tub. Everything was clean including the room and the picnic area. The hosts had anticipated everything we might need to use the bbq and picnic area such as dishes and cutlery as well as towels and shoes to wear to the hot tub. Our only disappointment was that we were only staying one night - we would have loved to stay longer. A great stay and we would love to return some day.

Our Favorite Haven

Posted: May 5, 2023

Chilkoot Haven can not be explained in words. The experience of being there sitting on the porch and watching the wildlife, and seeing the beautiful mountains is an incredible experience! Once you have been there you will return. Excellent room - clean with everything you need. There is also a hot tub with lots of extra towels, picnic tables and a barbecue grill. We ❤️ staying at C H!

What a wonderful place to stay. The area is beautiful and the Chilkoot Haven had the best views of all..Sitting on your covered porch we saw bears, eagles, seals and lots of other birds…the family that own the Inn are so kind and knowledgeable about area. Easy making reservations through Randa. She helped me a lot with some changes I had to make. My family and I loved everything about it it…We plan to go back in 2 years…I can’t explain gust how beautiful it is…Thanks to all the folks at Chilkoot Haven for making our family vacation so memorable…(this was our second time visiting Chilkoot Haven)

 
Chilkoot Haven Vacation

Posted: Sep 12, 2022

A must for all nature photographer and nature lover. You can watch bears, eagles, and in a short distance seals. You can hear the call of the eagles early in the morning and sometimes the call of angry bears in the night. That is a very nice experiance. The lodge has only three rooms. The rooms are nicely done with all fittings and clean. I think, Chilkoot Haven is one of the best locations in Alaska.

 
Chilkoot Haven: Simply haven

Posted: Sep 9, 2022

I start with cons: our stay was too short. Everything else was wonderful. The cabin was very clean and cozy. Nicely decorated too. The patio gives you very serene and happy feeling. Having two beds is a big plus for us. Kitchenette area is small, but setup is comfortable. I can’t wait to be back

Chilkoot Haven: Amazing!

Posted: Aug 26, 2022

When we walked in the room we both ran to the window and said wow! The view of the river and the mountains is breathtaking. It was relaxing to listen to the sound of the river. We enjoyed watching bears and eagles from our patio as we drank coffee each morning and evening. We loved every minute of staying in this beautiful place. The location is the best! Room was comfortable and we appreciated all the little extras. We used the grill several times for meals. Randa was great to work with and communication was perfect. We also enjoyed visiting with Sue too. We plan on coming back next year.

Chilkoot Haven: Magical Place

Posted: Jul 28, 2022

Chilkoot Haven is an experience not to be missed if visiting Haines, Alaska. The relaxing value is off the chart. Sit outside your door and just take in the beautiful surroundings with the constant motion of the river below. Watch as fisherman try their luck at catching Sockeye or land some yourself just down the steps from the resort. Breath taking.

Room was very clean and nicely furnished. Very comfortable beds. View overlooking the Chilkoot River and we could see the salmon jumping on their way up the river to spawn. We saw an eagle catch a fish and then struggle to stay airborne as it carried away its catch. Would definitely stay here again.

Our family came to view the bears and we were not disappointed. The room gave us a setting that would be hard to find anywhere else in Alaska. We will be back again.

 
Chilkoot Haven: Best possible location in Haines to watch bears & eagles

Posted: Sep 24, 2018

As the saying goes, in real estate there are three key factors: location, location and location. And the Chilkoot Haven got them all! The view from the porch onto the river is just amazing - you can watch bald eagles and bears directly from there, or take a walk down some stairs to get direct access to the river. There are only 3 rooms here in the Haven, so the place never felt crowded, and chances are you meet other wildlife enthusiasts on the porch. My room itself was clean and well equipped - nothing fancy, but with a comfy bed, a hot shower in the morning, a table with two chairs to sit, a microwave and a fridge, you get everything you need to enjoy your stay. I didn't use the BBQ grill or hot tub that are available for all guests. Haines is a 20 minute drive away if you want to restock or grab something to eat, but if you're into wildlife I can almost guarantee that you won't be leaving the area until you have to! I stayed for two nights and enjoyed it immensely.

 
Wonderful time at Chilkoot Haven

Posted: Sep 9, 2018

Room was great - like a kitchenette with 2 queen beds. Was like being home and not in a hotel - lots of little things that made it feel homey - like real sheets, not the starched white ones in the hotels. Fabulous view of the river and the weir - but bring your binoculars so you can see all the action. BBQ, hot tub and picnic tables were used by people staying on either side of us both nights we were there. Loved the owner - it was like staying in her home. Would stay there again in a heartbeat and will likely plan future trips to Haines AK around their availability which we did this time.

Posted: Aug 2, 2018

Amazing location right on the Chilkoot River. Doesnt get much better than sitting in the outdoor hot tub, looking out over fishermen in waders looking for salmon, the odd bear sneaking in for dinner and the constant sound of river water. Pretty much paradise! Rooms were nice, check in/out was easy. Shame we couldn't stay longer!

Even though it was my third time at Chilkoot Haven when I opened the door I gasped in shock at the magnificent view out the patio door . The rooms are simple but the atmosphere in the surrounding wilderness is spiritually cleansing and beautiful .

 
Chilkoot Haven: Absolutely awesome!!! even better than we remembered.

Posted: Jul 16, 2018

Magnificent. It felt so close to nature. The pillows were devine. What kind are they? For the fellow who experienced your magical setting for the first time: he was awe struck and so appreciative for the moment of wonder. Thank you for the opportunity to share with my family such outstanding beauty. It makes our hearts glad to feel the spirit of nature.

 
Chilkoot Haven: Beyond Description!

Posted: Jul 15, 2018

Chilkoot Haven is beyond description, but we’ll try. Each unit is immaculate and well supplied. Between the barbecue grill and microwave we were able to eat in as much as we wanted during our six night stay. The setting is spectacular. We were able to photograph eagles and fly fisherman catching salmon without leaving our porch. Brown bears strolling around added to the enjoyment. Finally, Sue, the owner, is a wonderful person and a gracious host. We hope to return next year!

A Piece of Paradise

Posted: Jun 8, 2018

Chilkoot Haven was a special place that was awesome! It was so peaceful and tranquil looking out over the Chilkoot river watching bald headed eagles floating in the air and to our amazement and pleasure a grizzly bear meandered along the river edge! Our room was so comfortable and with extra considered amenities such as towels for the hot tub, rubber sandals for outdoors and what a nice touch to have the muffins for our first breakfast. It was beautiful! So much so that we would truly love to come back and instead of staying 2 days we are talking about one week! Thank you for such a wonderful piece of paradise and your kindness throughout the booking process and more! Inis and Andy

Beautiful location better than you could imagine wonderfully cozy environment extremely clean very kind and great owner of the property was there which we were very lucky to meet the owner. The view is exceptional wonderful. Walks from the home and the river and Lake are just amazing! Anyone coming to Haines would be missing out if they didn't stay here! I will add that I like being a little bit out in the country so this is not in town however it's very simple to get to town within 15-20 minutes by car. I'm definitely going to come back! :-) also for anyone coming in the winter time it's extremely easy to get up to the house and very warm so if you're wondering if you should come in the picture this is definitely a great place to stay all year round!

We arrived late in the dark and could only hear the river outside out lovely and well-appointed room. The beds were very comfortable, everything was clean and there were even muffins set out for breakfast! The real treat was opening the curtains in the morning and seeing the most spectacular river view! It was breathtaking and a bear even came out to say good morning (and get his breakfast!). I wish we had more time to stay but I will return again and recommend it 110% as a place to stay in Haines.

Haines is beautiful, so much to see. And yet I kept wanting to be back in my room enjoying the view. Quality throughout the whole place, warm, extremely comfortable beds, quilts on the bed, heated floors, this place is better than being home. I almost want to give it bad reviews so I can keep the secret to myself.

Posted: Jul 11, 2017

The view of river, eagles and occasional bears are a bonus to this comfortable room. The heated floors and comfy linens are great. A little bit out of town and well worth the privacy. Close to a lake at end of road and near a fun outing with takshanuk tours! This was a wonderful surprise for us. Everything was so updated and private. It was an unexpected view of the eagles. Thanks for a great stay

Amazing location, amazing accomodations, and even better host! Had such a good time here!!

This was one of the most scenic rooms we have ever had. Breath taking view of the river and mountain. On site manager is gracious and friendly. Our room had 2 comfortable queen beds. The small kitchen with microwave was more than adequate for our stay. I would have liked to use the grilling area but we did not have time. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio area overlooking the river watching the eagles and ducks work.

Posted: May 27, 2017

Loved the location. Never saw so many eagles and it wasn't even peak salmon season yet. Didn't see any bears but only because we had fallen asleep when they came to the river. Quality materials used in the construction of the rooms, attention to detail. Comfy bed! Erica the property manager was very informative and helpful.

 
Chilkoot Haven: So WOW!

Chilkoot Haven: A Gem of a Find

Posted: Oct 15, 2016

If you want to wake up and look out your window to hear a quietly babbling river punctuated with the conversation of Eagles, open your eyes to wander up the Chilkoot river, all without leaving your bed...possibly see bears fishing, well this is it. My friend and I were able to cook all our meals there with the help of a BBQ and burner on the BBQ as well as the little kitchenette in the room. Access to pots, toaster, grilling utensils and so on. ( had to cook food that was gluten and dairy free making restaurants awkward). It could not have been better. For fishermen, there is a freezer available. Very comfortable beds, in a nicely decorated room. A real treasure in Haines.

 
Certainly Going Back!

Posted: Oct 12, 2016

Our Thanksgiving at the Chilkoot Haven was amazing. The view is stunning. Nothing beats having your morning coffee on the deck listening to the river below and watching eagles and bears hunt for their breakfast. We'll certainly be back.

Our experience at Chilkoot Haven was awesome!! Your place is lovely and would like to come back some day! It was a special treat to be able to see the bears from the deck and then drive down to the river. The sound of the river and the eagles was very soothing. Our only constructive criticism would be to suggest a fan so we could get the air moving...left the window open, but it was a bit stuffy :) Would definitely recommend this awesome place to our friends!

 
A little piece of heaven near Haines Alaska, called Chilkoot Haven Lodge will satisfy all your needs

Posted: Sep 20, 2016

This was our third stay at Chilkoot Haven Lodge our other stays were in 2011 and 2012. We have never been disappointed with our choice even though the salmon run was poor this year there was still plenty of fishing and bear photography to fill your days. The beauty and location of the lodge is superb with the Chilkoot River only steps away with bears, eagles, salmon and even Harbour Seals coming and going all day. The facilities are splendid with a great barbecue area for preparing your meals of fresh fish or what ever you enjoy having. The owner Sue Folletti is always a very accommodating host and along with her sister Kathy will ensure your stay is a memorable one. We went to sleep each night listening to the Chilkoot River flowing by on it's way to the ocean a short distance away, and woke up each morning to the cries of eagles and gulls along the river. There is really only one very bad thing about Chilkoot Haven Lodge and that is having to leave at the end of your stay, it's hard.

Room was very clean and ready for us upon arrival. The view was amazing over the river. The room next to us was occupied, but it was still quiet and enjoyable. It would be helpful if driving directions could be improved on the email. Perhaps there could be detailed instructions given depending on where you are driving from (ex: the ferry, Haines Junction) as we had to stop in town and ask. Otherwise, thank you for a wonderful experience and we will definitely recommend Chilkoot Haven to others.

The location is the best place in Haines if you have plans to fish the Chilkoot River or Lake. The view is spectacular even on rainy/windy days since the terrace is well protected from the elements. I appreciated the little things like fresh ground coffee and breakfast muffins. We had dinner using the common BBQ and eating area with some other guests which was the highlight of our trip.

Loved the scenic views-away from town-after all that is why you come to Alaska-but FIY it's not that far from everything you need-restaurants, etc. Highly recommend spending time in beautiful Haines. Eagles, bears, snowcapped mtns, lakes and rivers...a short 1/2 awesome flight from Juneau which doubles as a sightseeing flight-our pilot took us over rainbow glacier for extra views-what more could you ask for.

Our second time to stay in these very comfortable rooms. The view is fantastic the weather was great and also very quiet and peaceful.

We were too early for the salmon run and to photograph the Brown Bears make their catch.
