"When I think of Glacier National Park, I imagine snow capped mountains, deep azure lakes and baby blue skies. I think of robins feeding their young in trees, squirrels fighting over the last nut, and mountain goats blissfully sunning themselves on the rock cliffs. There is also one hotel that comes to mind, a place where you can see it all. It is called Lake McDonald Lodge. Although this historic lodge is nestled on the shores of Lake McDonald, there are no guaranteed rooms with lake views! It is all due to the fact that the trees on the shore have grown so tall, that they almost completely obscure the lodge from the lake. however, that does not mean that you cannot reach the shore by footpaths. There are multiple wooden paths to the shore, and from there you can see the mountains across the lake. It is a great place to sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery. Grab a book and a camera, and come stay at Lake McDonald Lodge for your visit to Glacier National Park."

 

 

"My grandparents brought my mother here when she was a little girl, and she's the one who introduced me to it many years later. Not only did we stay here on vacation but it was a fantastic place for our 2007 family reunion! The Main Lodge rooms are very cozy but we loved our cabins! The cabins are just a short stroll down the footpath from the main lodge although they don't have a view of Lake McDonald you can get there in just a minute or two.

 

I have to admit that I spent almost as much time in the gift shop as I did in our room, but you just can't miss out on some of the great gifts to take back home. And if you're looking for a 'Taste of Montana' you've got to stop in to the Russell's Fireside Dining Room for some lunch or dinner...you won't want to miss out on a glass of beer made locally that you won't find anywhere else!

 

With all sorts of activities right at the lodge you could spend your entire vacation right here, Lake McDonald Lodge is a rare treasure that you'll want to come back to every summer!"
