A very good property. A little different check in process- especially if you were late i.e. past 5:00 pm. But otherwise, the room, location were great.

Adorable lodge!
Amazing little place right outside Glacier National Park! We loved the area and chose Great Northern for its location. We were a 5-minute drive from the West entrance to Glacier National Park. The lodge was adorable! The rooms all open up to a main sitting area with a grand staircase. There were hiking bags with fruit snacks prepared for us! The room had a TV, microwave, and great bathroom products. The ONLY downside was the bed comfort. The mattresses are old. We could feel the springs when sitting or laying on the bed. We actually read the previous reviews stating that the beds were uncomfortable and decided to go for it anyway because location, location, location! Despite the spring action, I actually slept well, so it might not bother you either.

The property was located near glacier national park! It was peaceful, quiet property! However you had to drive to Columbia falls or whitefish for food/dining or grocery which was atleast 30mins from the property! But overall I loved my stay! The staff was friendly and the room/bathroom were clean!

Cabins were not clean. Sprinklers would turn on randomly so we couldn't have a fire in the evening. Unkept property, the pond was gross but dyed blue. The only good thing about this stay was the view.

Overall, it was a very nice property. Since it was after Labor Day, the hot breakfast wasn't available. I wasn't too enthusiastic about the brown bag breakfasts as fruit sticks aren't my thing or the cinnamon loafs. I did like the granolas, though.

Its an average place to stay, room size was big, so liked that. Reaching housekeeping had to be done only within office hours which was absolutely not ideal. The front desk leaves at 5:00pm and then if you call the number provided, no one picks up.
The room was new and quite nice. When we arrived on the property, it looked old and dirty from the rafting company attached. We were pleasantly surprised by the nice amenities and updated rooms. We stayed in the main lodge which had nice common areas. I would definitely stay here again. Also I would try their rafting service because it would be very convenient not having to drive to another location
