"The stay was amazing! We didnt realize that it was a very old building, so no TV and no a/c but we had a fan and were able to keep the windows open. Now they do have trains that come by the location every hour, but honestly once we went to sleep ( they provided sound machines and ear plugs) we didnt hear the trains. It was a very nice room and the showers were updated and clean! Loved the experience"

Village Inn At Apgar - Inside the Park

Village Inn At Apgar - Inside the Park

10/10 Excellent
"Apgar has a casual, almost campground feel to it that I really loved. The lake and the views were breathtaking. We had plenty of room to sleep all 5 of us—our only issue was 1 bathroom and little space to get ready for the day. There were a couple of days that were rather warm reaching 90 degree temps but mornings and evenings were cool enough that the room was okay for sleeping without AC. We had 1 hiccup where we returned to our room after a day of hiking and none of our key cards worked. We were traveling with 2 other families and the same was true for them. But the staff were on it and immediately fixed the issue. If able, bring a camp/beach chair or picnic blanket for the beach area and definitely water shoes or sandals. The beach/lake bed is stone/rock."

Lake McDonald Lodge - Inside the Park

10/10 Excellent
"We love to visit NP lodges and Lake McDonald lodge did not disappoint. The staff from check-in to check-out were friendly, very helpful and always listening for ways to make our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. We ate onsite at the Fireside Dining Room and Lucke's Lounge--food cooked to our request, service consistent, and prices reasonable considering location. The lobby is inviting with the beautiful lantern lights, the fireplace with etched stone and a variety of comfortable seating. And most important, the views inside the lodge and outside are outstanding. Our accommodation was a small cabin and we enjoyed looking out our door and seeing a path to the lake. We took the Western Alpine Red Bus tour which is a great way to see the western side of Going To The Sun Road without driving. Jammer Bill provided humor and fun as he shared the history of the road."
