What happened after Hotel Impossible?

Glacier Bear Lodge is a lodging, restaurant, and fishing-tour operation at 812 Glacier Bear Ave in Yakutat, Alaska, that Hotel Impossible (Travel Channel) featured in the episode that aired 2013-01-14 (S2E5). The lodge's own website, checked 2026-09-09, carried an HTTP last-modified header of 2026-09-07 — two days before the check — and described the property as "Your Gateway to Adventure in Yakutat, Alaska," stating that it is "Surrounded by pristine rivers and awe-inspiring glaciers" and calling itself "the ideal base for world-class fishing tours." The site listed a restaurant, lodging, fishing trips, and tours-and-rates sections along with an online booking tool, under the corporate name "Glacier Bear Lodge Inc." Google Places listed the business as operational at the same Glacier Bear Avenue address referenced in the episode. No copyright year or other explicit year appeared in the page text reviewed, and no additional independent source — news coverage, a public listing, or an encyclopedia entry — was found within the evidence compiled for this line describing the lodge's history or any change in ownership since the 2013 television appearance. The near-current server modification date on the lodge's own site was the only dated signal available for this record within the evidence gathered.
