Lake McDonald Lodge is a cozy and charming retreat right by the lake, offering clean and comfortable rooms with a touch of elegance. The lodge features a gift shop, bar area, and a main dining area with views of the rushing creekside and the lake. Guests can enjoy hearty meals like chicken Cordon Bleu croissant sandwich, lentil soup, and chef salad. The lodge also provides access to nearby activities, including trails and a small beach at Lake McDonald. Visitors can explore the area and dine at the nearby Jammer pizzeria. Whether relaxing by the fireplace or taking a boat tour on the lake, Lake McDonald Lodge offers a majestic and memorable experience.
The lodge is ideal for a historic feel, the convenience of being in the park, and the services and amenities. Guests can spend time by the fire in the common area of the lodge, with a beverage from the lounge. The lodge also offers the famous red bus tours and boat tours of Lake McDonald, which are highly recommended. The rooms are older but comfortable, and guests can spend most of their time by the fireplace or outside exploring the park.
The lodge looks like a nice place to stay, but it's also a place worth stopping. There is a large camp store and plenty of parking, and it gives guests full access to the lakeshore. The stones that make up the lakebed of Lake McDonald look like jewels, with a vivid array of colors. The lodge is also the ideal place to turn around and go back along the Going-to-the-Sun Road if coming from St. Mary.
The cabin is simply furnished and tiny, with a small bed and a disgusting carpet. The shower curtain has mold stains. However, the location is great, with Lake McDonald just a few steps away. The food in the restaurant is very good, although not all drinks may be in stock due to the impending end of the season.
