This was a beautiful place to stay! The Lodge was wonderful and the view was amazing! My only complaint is I did not get an email or text stating the directions for getting into our room. I even called a few days prior to ask what I needed to do since I would be arriving after hours. The gentleman stated I would get a text/email. I got nothing and was unable to reach anyone by phone after 5pm. Thank goodness there was someone in the lodge with an emergency number, I was able to talk to someone who told me where to find my key. Otherwise I would 100% recommend staying here!
The rooms were immaculate with gorgeous views! The staff were very friendly and I felt like we were right at the park or in the park! GREAT stay and will return!!
Clean room, really great area right outside Glacier national park

We were here 'off season' (1st week of October) and it was perfect. Amazing location being just a few miles from the entrance to Glacier National Park.
The room was great. People were very friendly and helpful.
Everything Thing was perfect. The kitchen was wonderful for cooking the rooms were a nice size. The washer and dryer was wonderful. Most of all We loved the beauty. We tried to book for tonight and they told us there was none available. I told them I seen it on there website and was turned away. So we book at the northern resort. Once there Iooked online and there was availability.
So I booked for tonight and here we are. We left the northern to come here. The beds are incredible as well.
Thanks.
Great location a mile from the entrance to entrance if West Glacier National Park. The lodge included self serve Keurig Coffee station and a small bar where guest could get together for happy hour and share experiences of their hikes in the park. The Outdoors Store on property was well stocked with hiking gear that you could rent or buy. The room included a king bed with fine linens and pillows and plenty of space. Would definitely recommend and return next time we visit West Glacier
Excellent & Efficient check in, Large & Clean Room, Lodge had an awesome upstairs TV room and dining area with coffee, toaster, and kitchen comforts. Beautiful morning sunrise views too! Would stay here again.
