Small cabin at Rising Sun but we loved it. Stayed 3 nights. Quiet. Natural landscaping around all the cabins and far from any road noise. No problem with our neighbors because it was my brother and his friend on the other side of the wall. Lol. Hot in Glacier Park while we were there but cooled off at night. Went swimming across the street from Rising Sun though we heard the swimming in that area was shut down due to an aggressive mother bear who tore into someone’s backpack. Don’t know if the park service has opened it back up for swimming-this was in the picnic area near the boat launch. Used the wall heater one morning at our cabin which worked great. Late afternoons we switched on the box fan. We were in Cabin 19A and 19B. Not on the creek but that was ok. Convenient for hiking Piegan Pass Trail and the 3 waterfalls trail along St Mary Lake. Staff was great everywhere at Rising Sun. We bought snacks at the store and ate meals at Two Dog Flats. Pasta dish with grilled chicken was especially tasty. Good side salads. Breakfast was just ok. Standard for all the Glacier Park lodges. If you like coffee you probably won’t enjoy the coffee here. We switched to drinking tea. Delicious iced tea. We attended an awesome evening program at the St Mary Visitor Center. A short drive from Rising Sun. Blackfeet Indian Dancers and Singers. The rangers at St Mary were very helpful with hiking tips, maps, and materials.

So we booked this as we thought it was close to the middle of the Going To The Sun Road. NOT. It’s on the east end just 5-6 miles from St Mary. It does not give you access to GTTS Road from the West. We stayed in a very basic cabin. Just OK. No view. Slightly less expensive than The Lodge at Apgar and Many Glacier Hotel which were MUCH better. I would NOT book again! Restaurant not great either.

We loved our stay at Rising Sun! Cabins were perfect—quaint, clean, beautifully decorated. Gorgeous views of course. The on-site restaurant was good. Big breakfast, above-average pricing was as expected when you’re eating in the park. We enjoyed our visit.

Just OK

We stayed one night while exploring the east side of Glacier. The positives are that the room was clean, the location is convenient, and you can park in front of your unit. They provide ice if needed for your cooler. The food is good at their restaurant and they have a good selection of items in their General Store. Otherwise, you'll have random people in the Parking area trying to photograph the bears in the field next door. Also, there really is no wifi service other than in the lobby. So if you need to check flights, or anything going on at home, you can't do that from the comfort of your room. We are ok with not having a TV, but would have enjoyed at least being able to get a radio station to listen to while playing cards. Many Glacier up the road had wifi throughout. They are run by the same company.

Well-situated motel and comfortable rooms

We recently stayed at Rising Sun in a motel room with 2 double beds. Our room had a view of the mountains, and there were chairs outside on the "porch". The room was comfortable and clean, and had plenty of space. It was also mostly quiet - we heard a little road noise from GTTSR, but not much from our neighbors, and one family had a small child. The staff was friendly and helpful. The on-site restaurant is small, so expect a wait if you eat during peak times. Rising Sun is well-located for several hikes, and has quick access to Logan Pass. It's also a short drive to Many Glacier (less than an hour away) for a day trip. Carry bear spray if you are walking around the Rising Sun complex - a few times we heard rangers trying to scare bears (black and/or grizzly) out of the parking areas, etc. The only bears we saw were one black bear and her two cubs.
