Great to stay in a two story cabin equipped with a kitchen and patio! This was very close to West Glacier entrance! However, this property needs s lot of maintainence (broken AC unit, broken landscaping lights, weeding, scrub the bird poop off the front patio, fix TP holder, windows don't lock), and the owners need to replace the pots and pans (they're Teflon and very scratched up), the dishes are all mismatched, they provided 7 champagne glasses and 1 wine glass but no wine opener (you have to buy one at the gift shop)..

Family owned lodge that shows! We stayed in the lodge and it was so nice. I loved the set up, the deck overlooking the premises (wrap around) and the vaulted ceilings. It was so quiet too. We never heard any of the other guests. The ice machine came in handy, the complimentary snack bags were life saving before hiking and site seeing. Highly recommend!

Cleaning service was a little confusing. Note in room said no service unless we put request...they had a door hanger that said " out sightseeing, please make up room" we put that on but they did not clean room ...had to call for towels and to empty trash. Friendly staff and very comfortable bedding. :)

A very good property. A little different check in process- especially if you were late i.e. past 5:00 pm. But otherwise, the room, location were great.

Adorable lodge!

Amazing little place right outside Glacier National Park! We loved the area and chose Great Northern for its location. We were a 5-minute drive from the West entrance to Glacier National Park. The lodge was adorable! The rooms all open up to a main sitting area with a grand staircase. There were hiking bags with fruit snacks prepared for us! The room had a TV, microwave, and great bathroom products. The ONLY downside was the bed comfort. The mattresses are old. We could feel the springs when sitting or laying on the bed. We actually read the previous reviews stating that the beds were uncomfortable and decided to go for it anyway because location, location, location! Despite the spring action, I actually slept well, so it might not bother you either.

The property was located near glacier national park! It was peaceful, quiet property! However you had to drive to Columbia falls or whitefish for food/dining or grocery which was atleast 30mins from the property! But overall I loved my stay! The staff was friendly and the room/bathroom were clean!

Cabins were not clean. Sprinklers would turn on randomly so we couldn't have a fire in the evening. Unkept property, the pond was gross but dyed blue. The only good thing about this stay was the view.
