Do NOT MISS THIS even if you don't stay here come and see it. It's beautiful and fun of history. The glaciers are gorgeous 😍
Took a boat ride off the shores of the Lodge
The story of early development of this historical hotel is fascinating! The relaxing atmosphere & charm is something to behold along the picturesque Lake McDonad. Staff is friendly & menu has many delightful choices. Enjoyed the entertaining & informative boat ride; booked at lodge. Red Jammers (red buses) are also available at lodge. Left with treasured memories!
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 restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the food is very good, including trout and steak, with a variety of drinks available. 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 worth stopping. There is a large camp store and plenty of parking, providing 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. Guests have enjoyed their cabins, which are quaint and comfortable, with fans to cool the rooms. The attentive and welcoming staff adds to the overall experience.
