We got to the lodge a few hours before dinner so we waited around the lodge and ate dinner in the Great Northern dining room - it was fabulous! Loved the trout dip! We want to give a shout out to Terrance the bellhop - he spent a lot of extra time with us explaining where to find a moose after dinner and telling us some key features about the lodge! Wonderful trip! Definitely recommend! AND our son did find a moose that night

They had one of the best gift shops I've seen during this Montana trip and picked up a bunch of stuff for my loved ones at home. The main lounge has lots of wooden furniture and a big beautiful fireplace. My husband enjoyed playing horseshoe out back and I got my mother in law to play the 1890s piano! Good place to reset with internet service and snacks before you head on back for your nature day.

We liked the idea of a smaller "resort" and this location looked the best, and most reasonably…read morepriced, out of limited hotel options in the area. There are less than 10 cabins, a lodge, and steakhouse. A river runs behind the property but from our cabin you couldn't see it. The trees are abundant and gorgeous, though. Starting with the highlights, we appreciated the friendly staff, tasty food at steakhouse (that they adjusted based on our needs), the charming lodge to visit for internet (only place you're guaranteed service), and the attractive, quaint cabin with breathtaking views. Based on these features I'd rate the place four stars. However, the cabin experience is what brings down the rating for me. I completely understand that you visit a Montana for the wilderness, and we were staying in a cabin not a big hotel, but we weren't trying to get a camping experience. I say that because of the ABUNDANCE of bugs inside the cabin. Again, woods = bugs. However, upon arrival the cabin was filled with months. There were at least 15 that I counted. And I saw four spiders within about five minutes. I spotted three more spiders in the bathroom while showering. Of course lots of flies, too. There shouldn't be that many insects inside the room. They're either getting in somewhere or the door was left open while cleaning maybe? I literally slept with a sheet over my head for both nights. And we had to make sure our bags were closed tightly for fear bugs would get inside luggage. Other things to note, hard to find location especially since GPS is spotty in woods. If driving from main East Glacier, you'll pass a rest stop on your left and a pullout on the right, then immediately after its on the right. No TV in room. WIFI only works in lodge and occasionally at restaurant. Breakfast offered is yogurt and bagels.

(Chad, the owner has been trying to gaslight and blame me for HIS staff not communicating…read morereservations and details- see photos below and more explanation at the bottom.) DON'T TRUST THEIR RESERVATIONS! I called and talked to someone months before my wedding for reservations for a rehearsal dinner for 22 people. When I called the owner answered and said they weren't technically open yet for the season, but he could put my reservation in for me. For some reason I had a bad feeling about if he actually got my reservation down so about 2 weeks or so later I called back, talked to someone else, and they said "yes we have you all set for that date and time". Awesome. But I still had a weird gut feeling about it and called a 3rd time about a month before the wedding dinner and they confirmed again they had me down for 22 people. I was reassured now. Someone called me the night before my rehearsal dinner (see the photo of the call log, you can see the person leaving the voicemail said 'I saw you have a reservation for 23 people at 5:30pm', so they DID have me down prior to that phone call) and asked if we were still coming and I said yes. He informed me they couldn't no longer seat me outside only inside, which I said was okay. He confirmed my reservation was set and said "See you tomorrow". The morning of my rehearsal dinner the owner, Chad, called me and was like "I was just told we have you down for a party of 22 tonight and this is my first time hearing of it, you're not on our event schedule". I explained all the times I talked to him and he made the reservation, as well as many other people that confirmed it including the night before and he said I needed to submit a request through the website for the event and that's the only way they can schedule these events. I told him whoever I talked to initially never told me that and said he put me on the event schedule. Chad then proceeded to blame me and belittle me for not doing it "correctly" and basically told me this was my fault, not theirs, and they couldn't seat us. He then said they could seat us but I would have to rent the upper room for $800- again no one EVER told me anything about renting a space when I talked to 3 separate people. We couldn't pay $800 more and now we're out dinner for 22 people that travelled from WI. Luckily I found the Snowgoose restaurant in St Mary and that manager was very nice and accommodated our group for the same evening. Do NOT trust these workers here to tell you the correct information or put it in their event schedule correctly!!! Since the owner still wants to take NO accountability for his actions and again try to blame me and say I never let him know I no longer wanted the reservations (see photo of his reply on my Google review still just blaming me!) I included in this review the photo of me letting Maribeth know I don't need the reservations and she even replied "thank you for letting me know". So again, a lie from the owner to gaslight me (or his staff don't communicate important things, still not my fault) because I DID let them know I didn't need the reservation and we weren't coming. I also updated a photo of my call logs with the restaurant. My initial call where I scheduled the reservation was from my work phone, which I will get that photo of and post that as well. This is ABSURB how he handled this situation.

Beautiful resort, exceptional staff, and ideal location for accessing Glacier…read more 1) The stay. We stayed in a room in the lodge which was amazing. It's a peaceful lodge tucked away in a corner of the property that has a serene porch that we sat out on each night with views of the mountains. The room cleanliness was impeccable - much cleaner than any chain hotel I've stayed at. The housekeeping staff even left hand written notes for us, and went above and beyond in making sure all of the guests needs were not just met but exceeded when we needed help. You will not meet a more pleasant front desk staff who was genuinely excited to talk to you each day and answer any of your questions! The drive to the entrance of west glacier was maybe 5 minutes - perfect for quick access to the park. 2) We did the fly fishing all day tour which I would highly recommend. I would be amiss without mentioning our guide Chaney by name. He reached out to us ahead of time and was extremely kind and flexible - adapting to any requests I had to make the trip personalized. And he was amazing during the actual guide! He had us laughing, smiling and learning so much throughout the whole day. And he did it all while rowing us down rapids!! His knowledge of the local wildlife was impressive and you can tell he truly cares deeply about what he does. Not to mention the beauty of the river itself - it would have been worth it to go just for the views, and getting to fish while doing it was even better! All in all - exceptional place, I plan to re-book for my next visit in the area.

I tried to check out at 6:50 and there was a note on the door to call (which didn't work btw) then I called another number and the person was able to open the door so I checked-out. The check-out process could be optimized.. maybe have a dropbox for people to drop off keys... Dollar It was the saver price! I paid around 90$ a night. Though I feel like it isn't worth the cost.

But it was worth it; especially with the 2025 construction, it's the best way to get to this part of the park, which is itself a highlight. I love the huge lobby, which has tons of space and seating to eat snacks, play a game, or whatever while looking out the huge windows over the lake. And often a random guest is playing a song on the piano. Our "Value Room" was comfortable and had everything you need. Service was great at the front desk and bell staff. There's a talk every evening; the nights we were there were a native storyteller and a ranger presentation on birds; very different, but both great, and something not many national park lodges offer.

I heard the lodges fill up fast and are very expensive however. This historic hotel is quite incredible from the architecture to the settling right on the lake. It might be expensive but the time savings on being able to start hikes right from the hotel may be worth it. For people like us who did not stay overnight you can enjoy the hotel common areas and restaurants. However unfortunately no WiFi unless you are guests. And they need to install benches outside where you wait for the shuttle.
