About this property

Lake McDonald Cabin Inside Glacier National Park on the Shore of Lake McDonald.

A private residence on Lake McDonald inside Glacier National Park. Enjoy the comfort and privacy of your own cabin with a stunning view of Lake McDonald and the mountains surrounding Going-to-the-Sun Road. Soak your feet in the lake or walk into Apgar village and enjoy all that the park has to offer. Only minutes from spectacular hiking, world-class golf resorts and wild and scenic rivers. A previous renter left the following note, 'Everything was fantastic: the cabin was spotless, all the utensils, linens, books, etc., etc., were more than enough. Suggestions for improvement...don't change a thing. With that view, a tent and a bucket of water would do just fine!'

This lovely cedar cabin has 2 bedrooms, one with a queen size bed, one king size bed and a full-size fold-out futon in the living room. The hard wood floors, rugs, fireplace and cedar furniture complete this cozy retreat. A covered deck with fire pit and gas grille extends across the front of the cabin - the perfect place to enjoy the view. The cabin is fully furnished to provide you a comfortable and relaxing vacation.

In 2026, Glacier National Park suspended the ticket access permit system for the Going-to-the-Sun Road to Logan Pass. It is unclear what systems or changes the Park will be utilizing in the future to control traffic. Please visit the Glacier National Park website prior to your vacation to get the most current information.

Fantastic stay

We've been coming to Glacier for 40 years, but this was our first time in this cabin; we hope it won't be our last! We were particularly impressed by the accurate description of a well-equipped cabin; the excellent, timely communication from the owners; the great location on the west side of Glacier.

Best location and great hosts

We have stayed here many times. The location can’t be beat and the owners are great to deal with. They have made some improvements since my last visit (new appliances and doors) and it made such a difference. They show great pride in their property.

Amazing!

Great property in an ideal location. We spent all our time on the covered back deck taking in the most beautiful view. Very private cabin but still close to shops and restaurant. Very comfortable bed and great water pressure.
