On the shore of Lake McDonald this vintage inn has seen better days. The smell upon entering is overpowering similar to an old attic. The beds looked nice however they are cheap and lopsided. Many bugs in the room so if you are used to camping it might be ok but for over $350 per night I would pass.

The view of Lake McDonald is indeed beautiful. However, the building is like an old motel with no A/c and no central heating. We stayed on a cold rainy day and plugging in 2 personal heaters provided onsite in 2 bedrooms caused circuit overload. If you ever need to use the hair dryer, don't do it, because all your lights and outlets would stop working. Also on a side note, certain rooms have kitchen units while family rooms don't. There's no general public kitchen other than the microwave and coffee/tea in the front office, which opens 8am-8pm. I think if the weather is balmy then it might be a pleasant stay. Like a flash into the past (60s and 70s past). But if you're temperature sensitive you would probably be better off somewhere with good heating and a/c so you can get a good night sleep I spoke with the staff and their response was to take away one of the heaters, so don't think this problem is going away 🤷‍♀️

We love the Village Inn. The hotel is so well kept and the rooms are laid out really well for a family. Each room has an amazing view of Lake McDonald and the town of Apgar is the perfect jumping off point to the west side of Glacier National Park. Love it!

We stayed here in July for a bucket list family trip to Glacier NP. We absolutely loved the location and after visiting Lake McDonald Lodge and staying at the Many Glacier Hotel, if we go again and want to stay IN the park, we'd only stay here. The Village Inn has the best view of Lake McDonald by far of any other hotels in the park. In addition, the rooms were spotless and we absolutely loved the amenities located within the Apgar area. If you stay here, you will have a cafe, gift shop, kayak rental, etc. within walking distance. Can't beat that!

Wow. Just wow. The view from the rooms is unmatched, not just for the park, but for pretty much anywhere. This stunning view is even visible to teenagers still lounging in their bed but with the curtains open, haha. We had a first floor room and could walk right out and the lake was literally a stone's throw away. Two Adirondack chairs are provided for each room and we also pulled kitchen chairs out. Access to the beach and lake are literally right there, which is very convenient for cold morning swims. We stayed one night and did not cook, but the coffee shop in the gift store was a 2 minute walk and they had sandwiches, too. We checked in after hours and it was easy to do and just as promised. Front desk was friendly and helpful the next day. Only issue was that we had no wifi in our room, which made trip planning and meeting up with the rest of our group more challenging. Learned the next morning that wifi was good in the lobby and they were working on an IT issue for the rooms. One tip: it took us a while to turn the kitchen light fully off. There are two switches.
