Built in 2010 using locally milled wood from the property, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath home blends rustic charm with contemporary comfort. ​Tucked back from one of Gustavus’ “busiest” streets (which, in this peaceful town, still means plenty of solitude), you’ll feel immersed in nature while staying within walking distance of the Salmon River, downtown, and the local grocery store. ​Right next door, Gustavus Packing Company provides a convenient place to process and pack your fresh catch—or find a unique souvenir to take home! ​Wildlife is abundant here, with moose, black and brown bears, and a variety of birds frequently passing through the property. From the large windows, you can take in breathtaking forest views, watch the Northern Lights, or enjoy a stunning sunrise with your morning coffee. The master bedroom features its own private deck, walk-in closet, and separate bathroom, offering an extra touch of comfort. Inside, an open floor plan, high ceilings, and spacious living areas create a warm and inviting atmosphere. With Starlink internet, a large TV, and a wood stove (available upon approval), the Halibut House is well-equipped for families or larger groups. Whether you're here to explore Glacier Bay National Park, fish for world-class halibut, or simply unwind in an Alaskan retreat, this home is the perfect place to experience the magic of Gustavus.​ ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the sea ### Things to do - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - Composting - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Garden - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Water dispenser usage encouraged ## Similar properties ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45690000/45685100/45685093/ae10834c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SALMON RIVERBEND LODGE FISHERMEN CABIN WTH RIVER ACCESS FISH RIGHT OUT YOUR DOOR Gustavus 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=45685093&PinnedHotelID=45685093&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112740000/112738800/112738740/5ae7b34e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### RIVERSEDGE LOG HOME on the SALMON RIVER within 8miiles GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK GUSTAVUS - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=112738740&PinnedHotelID=112738740&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Seafood](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/870000/860900/860818/3c6e89af.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Glacier Bay Lodge Gustavus - Free airport shuttle - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 8.6 Excellent 42 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=860818&PinnedHotelID=860818&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102200000/102196400/102196309/w1242h451x0y248-97b96c0e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### COHO CAMPER Gustavus 4.0 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=102196309&PinnedHotelID=102196309&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome Note from host: Kids under10 must have supervision at all times. ### Events Events allowed: family gatherings and birthday parties Contact owners to plan any event. ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Parties and events (including family gatherings and birthday parties) are allowed on site; maximum attendees: 20 Note from host: Contact owners to plan any event.

Jul 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home in Gustavus We had a fantastic stay at the Halibut house. The home is beautiful with a very nice kitchen that is well appointed. The living area was cozy and was perfect for hanging out with the family and watching TV. Our hosts, Karmen and Jesse, were warm and welcoming, answered our questions, and made the trip easy. Tip for travelers: the grocery store is closed on Sundays (fortunately we bought food on Saturday). It was very helpful to have a rental car. Bud’s Rental Car rents right from the airport - reserve ahead of time. ##### Karina B.
