We absolutely loved this lodge. It's super close to the entrance of West Glacier Park, but set back far enough from the highway that's it's completely quiet and peaceful. The room had everything we needed, a mini fridge, toiletries, coffee maker, etc. and the lobby has a really good breakfast and coffee in the morning. Check in was a breeze and Brian was great. Our room had a lovely little patio and there's chairs to sit outside and drink your coffee while listening to the birds. Highly recommend this for a stay in Glacier!

Great location though a little tough to find the first time. Gravel parking lot plenty of room. Quiet area secluded from major road. Very close to West Glacier Village. Great staff always helpful with info and responsive to requests. Breakfast each day was on time and lots of options. Would definitely stay again!

Love how secluded it is in the pines. Quiet, can't hear the people next door or outside. The room was clean and comfy. Even though it's secluded and quiet it's close to the main road and to West entrance to Glacier national park. We didn't have much interaction with Brian, but he was very nice and personable. This is a great place to stay! We stayed at the end of May which I'm assuming is still the 'off season' so the price was very reasonable. We highly recommend this lodge!

This is the perfect place to stay when visiting Glacier National Park. It is very close to the West Glacier park entrance, yet it is nestled up in the woods in a quiet, beautiful location. The property is very clean and the beds are quite comfortable. Breakfast has a wide assortment every morning and great coffee. There is an electric fireplace in the room to be used for heat in cooler weather. It was so welcoming in mid-May. I would definitely stay here again.

The property is very close to Glacier National Park entrance and the most expensive in that area. I stayed in 4 different properties around that area, and this was the most expensive. They have coffee and microwave available all day in the lobby. The room is basic for the price compared to other properties but convenient. Hotel staff was friendly and very accommodating. You can borrow a bear spry for free. Hotel is located in a cell phone dead zone, so we had to use a very slow Wi-Fi that was barely usable during our stay or drive downhill to make phone calls.
