Lynn View Lodge & Cabins 1299 Lutak Road, Haines, AK 99827

"The room was really clean and nice with great views of the ocean. There was a bit of confusion when we got there as but it quickly got sorted. The beds were very comfortable but extra blankets would have been nice for the kids. The one unfortunate part was having a rude interaction from someone who seemed to be working there that came out of nowhere. He was also rude to our kids when they were playing outside as well. Regrettably, we won't be staying there again."

"Car review, not hotel- We are reluctant, first-time cruisers. We do not enjoy being crammed in shuttles, ships, water taxis, elevators, etc. The freedom renting a car here afforded us was worth every penny!! We were able to explore the beautiful area by ourselves, and on our own schedule. It was like being let out of cruise ship prison!!! We got a red Subaru, which was parked quite literally across the street from the cruise ship. All communication was done via text and/or email, never even met an actual person. See above and know we didn't mind that. Might have been the most convenient car rental ever. We just dropped it off with a full tank, left the keys in it, and were back in the ship in 10 mins! The car itself is what I call a Maui (Haines) cruiser, meaning it was dirty, had some dings, cracks, and scuffs... bear scratches, but it gets you where you want to go. It ran fine (had about 45k miles on odometer). Plus, it was super cheap. There is a lot to see around this area and this might be your best chance of seeing the most. You can even drive to the Canadian border in about an hour. If you want to "get away" from the cruise ship wind-up dolls, this is a great option. Best cruise day yet!"

"Highly recommend. Definitely should try to rent ahead of time to be sure they have a car for you. They are located in a small shop across the street from the pier where it cruise ship docked -very convenient. Upfront information helped make our paperwork time quick with no surprises. Be sure you are insured as they do not offer insurance as an option. We had a Mazda tribute in great condition which was very comfortable for the 4 of us but could also seat 5. Unlimited mileage, pleasant owners. Shop where you pick up the rental also houses items made by local Haines artisans. Owners provided some good information about the local areas - what to possibly see bear and moose, jumping salmon as they were everywhere when we went end of August. Can't say enough. To think we were almost going to pay twice as much through a brand name rental agency before finding Lynn's."

"I didn't stay at Lynn View but did rent two vehicles from them for a week and the whole process couldn't have been better. The rates were extremely competitive compared to other places in town, and they even had the cars waiting for us at the ferry dock when we landed. On our ferry out, we were allowed to leave them at the ferry dock again and they would come pick them up later. I highly recommend them for affordable car rentals while in Haines."

"My sister and I went to Haines, Alaska this summer.....our first trip to that beautiful state! We highly recommend the place we selected to stay, Lynn View Lodge. The managers were two very welcoming and accommodating people. The lodge and surrounds were clean and comfortable, and the lodge is well-located....quiet, not far from town, with beautiful views! We were also pleased with the car rental service. Our trip to Alaska was a tremendous success!"
