About Lake McDonald Lodge & Cabins

Immerse yourself in Glacier National Park's grandeur at Lake McDonald Lodge, a historic property dating back to 1914. This iconic landmark sits proudly on the shores of the park's deepest lake, Lake McDonald, offering breathtaking views right from your doorstep.


Lake McDonald Lodge is more than just a place to stay; it's a launching pad for adventure. Explore the pristine waters of the lake with a kayak or canoe rental. Take a historic Red Bus Tour along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, one of America's most scenic drives, and delve into the park's geological wonders. Evening ranger programs hosted by knowledgeable naturalists will ignite your curiosity about the park's unique ecosystem.

Choose from charming lodge rooms, some partially renovated in 2016 for a modern touch, or opt for the rustic comfort of duplex-style cabins. Fuel up for your explorations at Russell's Fireside Dining Room, renowned for its breakfast buffet and delectable lunch and dinner menus. Later, unwind with a drink and stunning lake views at Lucke's Lounge, or grab a casual bite at family-friendly Jammer Joe's Grill and Pizzeria.

The Lake McDonald Lodge Gift Shop caters to souvenir hunters, offering everything from postcards to handcrafted Native American jewelry. Need last-minute supplies? The conveniently located Lake McDonald Lodge Campstore carries groceries, picnic essentials, and even huckleberry treats.

While you'll be surrounded by nature's beauty, you can stay connected (somewhat) with limited WiFi access in the lobby. However, consider this a chance to truly disconnect and reconnect with your loved ones and the wonders of Glacier National Park. Lake McDonald Lodge offers a unique blend of history, comfort, and adventure, making it the perfect base camp for your unforgettable Montana vacation.
