The Summer Inn Bed & Breakfast

The Summer Inn Bed & Breakfast is a charming five bedroom historic house. The Inn is open year round. Located near the heart of downtown Haines, the Inn provides excellent views of the Lynn Canal and is within walking distance to the sites of Haines. The house was built by Tim Vogel, a member of Skagway's notorious Soapy Smith gang and a colorful character in the history of Haines. Start your day with a full homemade breakfast, spend your evening with a good book in our spacious living room, and end your day soaking in Time Vogel’s own bathtub, circa 1912. We invite you to be our guests at The Summer Inn, big enough for privacy - small enough for conversation. RECOMMENDED BY ALASKA BEST PLACES GUIDEBOOK! Opened in 1987.
