West Glacier Cabin Village

West Glacier Cabin Village

10/10 Excellent
"Great little cabin. Didn’t spend much time there, except to sit out on the front porch or sleep. Very clean & quiet. Kitchen had everything: fridge, 2 burner stove, DW, coffee maker, microwave. Small eat-in dining area & full couch in living area. All areas were spacious except bedroom, probably less than 2’ between bed & wall. Parking was near each cabin, maybe 50’. Extremely convenient to W Glacier NP entrance. Check-in @ cabin (office)was easy, they answered all our questions & recommended res’ts. Need to do Red Bus tour, book as soon as it opens for the year! We had breakfast @ Mc Donald Lodge, 9:30 Red bus tour (3 hrs), then had lunch @ the Lodge (again), walked around & charged our R1S EV @ the Lodge (2 new Tesla destination chargers) about 100 yds from the Lodge, then did the 1 hr boat tour (3:00) on Lake McDonald, that starts behind the Lodge. Again book in advance. We had a huckleberry shake & huckleberry pie while @ the Village. Really good. Just outside the cabin/RV area. Maybe, a quarter mile walk. We had awesome weather. Mid 70s the wk before the Lodge, bus & boat tours shut down for the season. Stayed Sept 21-23, 2026 We would definitely stay @ West Glacier Cabin & RV Campground again. TY!"

Glacier Guides Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was one our favorites. The room was cute, outfitted with minimal woodland decor. The room was spotlessly clean, the shower was great, and the bed was comfortable with very soft sheets. The windows open for nice fresh air. Perfect location near West Glacier National Park gate. We also loved the Glacier Highland restaurant within walking distance. Yum! Highly recommend. We hated to leave."

Village Inn At Apgar - Inside the Park

Village Inn At Apgar - Inside the Park

10/10 Excellent
"Apgar has a casual, almost campground feel to it that I really loved. The lake and the views were breathtaking. We had plenty of room to sleep all 5 of us—our only issue was 1 bathroom and little space to get ready for the day. There were a couple of days that were rather warm reaching 90 degree temps but mornings and evenings were cool enough that the room was okay for sleeping without AC. We had 1 hiccup where we returned to our room after a day of hiking and none of our key cards worked. We were traveling with 2 other families and the same was true for them. But the staff were on it and immediately fixed the issue. If able, bring a camp/beach chair or picnic blanket for the beach area and definitely water shoes or sandals. The beach/lake bed is stone/rock."

Lake McDonald Lodge - Inside the Park

Lake McDonald Lodge - Inside the Park

10/10 Excellent
"We love to visit NP lodges and Lake McDonald lodge did not disappoint. The staff from check-in to check-out were friendly, very helpful and always listening for ways to make our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. We ate onsite at the Fireside Dining Room and Lucke's Lounge--food cooked to our request, service consistent, and prices reasonable considering location. The lobby is inviting with the beautiful lantern lights, the fireplace with etched stone and a variety of comfortable seating. And most important, the views inside the lodge and outside are outstanding. Our accommodation was a small cabin and we enjoyed looking out our door and seeing a path to the lake. We took the Western Alpine Red Bus tour which is a great way to see the western side of Going To The Sun Road without driving. Jammer Bill provided humor and fun as he shared the history of the road."
