Imagine a beautiful small village in Alaska at the edge of Glacier Bay National Park, where whales migrate through Icy glacial waters each spring. Here, you'll find a peaceful place where time has stood still and life is as simple as a bike ride to the beach or a boat trip to watch the glaciers calve...

 CHECK THE CURRENT WEATHER IN GUSTAVUS

Do you need to get away from the city and from all the noise and hoards of people? Today, in Gustavus, you may do nothing but stroll through a forest trail and marvel at all of nature's gifts. Or, you might choose to sit with a good book on the dock overlooking Icy Straits and watch the eagles and ravens soar above you as the fishing boats go by.
    
This is our village. Our home... GUSTAVUS, ALASKA... and while you're here, come and visit us at the Bear’s Nest Cafe and Bed & Breakfast. From our home to yours, the Bear’s Nest welcomes you!

The Bear’s Nest Café is open seven days a week from 11:00 am to 8:00 P.M. We will tailor our meals to accommodate your dietary needs (low carbohydrate, salt free, vegan, vegetarian, dairy free).

We serve fresh daily picked salads from our organic gardens. All our seafood’s are purchased from local fishermen and as retired commercial fishermen, we know quality. Homemade soups and fresh breads made daily. No packaged mixes here. We make all our own decadent deserts including our famous strawberry rhubarb and "heart attack" pies, chocolate cream cheese brownies, carrot cake, ginger bread with lemon curd sauce and more.

You’ll dine in a museum like atmosphere. We carry Alaskan beer and fine wines. The Bear’s Nest Café is Gustavus’s oldest and finest restaurant. We look forward to making your vacation one to remember.
