Your days away from the hustle and bustle of daily life will begin and end in a cozy single story, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage with all the amenities, settings and extras to ensure your stay here becomes an experience you’ll treasure.
Our rustic setting in Apgar will welcome you home after a long day of kayaking Lake McDonald or exploring the trails. A furnished kitchen will let you cook up a delicious dinner, or you can take a two-minute walk to Eddie’s Cafe and let their wonderful cooks do the work for you.
A few extra perks: We have Starlink for high-speed internet. The cabin has air conditioning for those warmer summer days (not all in GNP, have this). We also have Osprey backpacks, hiking poles, headlamps, sunscreen, a cooler bag and blanket for picnicking.
YES, we do have bear spray in the cabin for guests to take on trails. We also have coffee, teas and basic seasonings in the cabin newly purchased in May, 2025. Our living room cabinet also has a great selection of family games and maps, trail and wildlife guides. We hope the little things make the difference for you to really relax! Enjoy!
When you stay at West Glacier Bear Cabin, not only do you get the experience of staying INSIDE Glacier National Park but you get a few perks as well.
GOING TO THE SUN ROAD
ACCESS IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
Access in 2025 to the Going-To-The-Sun Road is at the discretion of the National Park's Service. But when you stay with us at West Glacier Bear Cabin, you are closer to the road and all its beauty and splendor.
E-Bikes
FREE TO USE, FREE TO EXPLORE
Rather than scheduling time and paying to rent e-bikes, we have 4 e-bikes and helmets on-site so West Glacier Bear Cabin guests can ride anytime. You can explore Glacier National Park trails all day long or take a leisurely sunset ride and stop for some creamy delicious Huckleberry ice cream at Eddie’s Cafe.
Paddle boards and kayaks
Adventure is out there
Why hope for good weather and pay to rent paddle boards and kayaks, when we have 3 brand new kayaks for 2025 and 2 stand-up paddle boards on-site for you to use anytime on Lake McDonald. Do you want to take a sunrise paddle and enjoy the serenity of the morning? How about having some splashing kayak wars with your siblings before lunch? Simply grab the gear you want (and the life jackets!) and head to McDonald Lake. There is no need to reserve a thing when you stay with us! You simply use them whenever the water, weather, or trails call you.
We are located within a few steps to Eddie’s cafe, Apgar Village’s gift shops, hiking & biking trails and of course, Lake McDonald.
