If you are looking for a nature experience while staying warm, cozy and well taken care of, thereâs no better place. Steps away from the rivers edge, a short walk to the state park, full sized coffee pot right in the room and easily accessible guest services. Absolute must stay if you are looking to experience southeast Alaska.
This location is simply unbeatable. Nothing like having a cup of coffee and watching the morning fog cling to the river running directly in front of your room.
Owner was friendly and helpful when booking and replied very promptly to questions. We loved this room with a fantastic view of the Chilkoot River. We saw lots of salmon jumping as they went up river to spawn. And even saw a bald eagle catch a fish and carry it away. Room was clean, comfortable, and well furnished. Would definitely return here.
Best possible location in Haines to watch bears & eagles
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, and certainly hope to return.
The favourite accommodation and best experience in Alaska.
We stayed 3 days and just loved watching the bears and eagles from the verandah. Highly recommend this stunning location. Clean and comfortable unit. Sensational!

Chilkoot Haven is beyond description, but weâll 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!
