Lake McDonal Cabins Just Too Small and Confining

Stayed in a small cabin with queen bed. Tiny bathroom with shower. Coffee maker only. Internet spott at best. It would be very difficult to stay here for more than one night. Explicit regulations prohibit cooking within the cabin-leading to a reliance on NP restaurants. It would be better to stay outside the park, in an RV park or a Village Inn Apgar with kitchette. Road to Lake McDonald being paved, making for a long 10 miles in our Tesla and a pack of huge vehicles either passing us or wishing they could.

Disgraceful

This amazing property appeared to be neglected by poor maintenance and some cheap repairs. Our cabin looked grim with run-down furniture, dirty doors, non-working outlets, paper cups and cheap teabags. We were not able to use coffeemaker, or charge our cameras overnight, that delayed our morning expedition. Beautiful view was obstructed by unwashed windows. Historical lobby looked unwelcoming and neglected, with plastic buckets of trash stored around the antique fireplace. Breakfast was no included in pricy stay, and we opted out from purchasing it after dinner experience at the lodge restaurant. Staff was confused and poorly trained. This historical place deserves better handling.

Cute Little Cabin Stay

Spent 1 night in a cute little cabin. This cabin had 2 full sized beds and a separate bathroom with shower only (sorry no pics of). There was a little heater in the bathroom, too. The cabin was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was just a short paved walk to the main lodge or non-paved walk down to the lake. Easy to navigate at night to do some star gazing, but bring a red light for walking! We ate in the lodge. The meal was ok (chicken was a little dry), but it was nice to see that they had some meal accommodations for vegan and gluten free.

Cobb House

We stayed in the Cobb House. The rooms were clean and comfy., perfect size for our family of four. The porch was a nice place to have a quiet morning coffee. The shower was less than ideal but we made it work. The grounds of the hotel had everything we needed. The pizza restaurant was closed while we were there without notification which bummed out the kids. Loved the location and ease of shuttles with a stop right at the hotel.

Perfect Spot for Families with Littles

We stayed at Lake MacDonald for 3 nights. Because I did not plan ahead each night was in a different room. We were able to experience every level of accommodation and each was perfectly acceptable for a family. We stayed in a Snyder room, a small cabin 2 doubles, and a deluxe 2 queen in the lodge. Obviously, the deluxe was amazing with softer bed linens and nicer amenities. The small cabin had quicker access to the lake and since we were close to Jammer Joe’s we had internet. The Snyder Hall room with bunks wasn’t bad either. In all honestly any lodging in the park is great because you’re in the park. You get access to Going to the Sun Road and the Lake MacDonald trails. Our kids loved ending the day in the water. There is no bad day in Glacier National Park.
