MAY SPECIAL Spectacular Glacier Park Cabin On Lake McDonald, Unsurpassed Views!


Enjoy stunning views from the deck of this very rare to find private cabin actually located on the shores of Lake McDonald inside Glacier National Park. Watch for wildlife to pass by as you sip your coffee on the deck as the sun comes up. Spend your days exploring or relaxing in one of the most beautiful National Parks in the United States. In the evening watch the alpine glow slowly move its way up the mountains as the sun sets and watch the most amazing sky of stars you will ever find with the possibilities of Northern Lights as the evening progresses. Located at the foot of Lake McDonald, looking directly into the heart of Park, within easy walking distance to Apgar Village. This cabin is conveniently located to provide year-round access to all of the amazing activities the Park has to offer. This modern cabin has all the amenities; a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, living area with wood burning stove, (firewood is not provided), and large deck with BBQ, picnic table and reclining and Adirondack deck chairs, all with views you'll never forget. Plenty of room for six people with two bedrooms downstairs and a large loft. Downstairs you'll find a bedroom with a king bed, a bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom. Up the very unique staircase you'll find two twin beds as well as a desk, stocked bookshelves and various games.

By booking this cabin you will have access to the park and Going to The Sun Road without purchasing a pass, simply bring a printout of your reservation to show at the gate. An amazing spot to make memories that will last a lifetime!

Great spot, is as awesome as it appears.
The property really is as special as it looks. You’re right on the lake with the best view in the park. The entire process was easy, the place is comfortable, and the location is probably unbeatable. I strongly recommend the property for an unforgettable stay at glacier.

The Best View
We had the best time in Glacier. The house's view is spectacular, watching the changing looks of the mountains across the water from sun up to sun down was amazing. We grilled numerous times throughout the week and found everything at the house very comfortable!

Water lover's paradise!
We just loved the location of the house--what a treat to be right on the lake and have an amazing, personal beach just a few steps from the house. Such an easy walk into Apgar Village. Being SOOO close and able to fully enjoy Lake McDonald (swimming and paddle boarding) was such a plus that we had more patience for the "hands off" property manager! Unlike our experience with other VRBO properties, it was hard to get questions answered about whether our reservation would suffice for getting us into the West Gate of the park (yes!) and some other questions. It would have been helpful to have definite answers ahead of the trip. Our delight with the cabin and "vacay mode" made it easier to deal with the inconveniences of not having dishsoap or much toilet paper! It's an expensive property--just know that you are paying for the incredible location rather than deluxe lodging. We would come back.

Literally perfect
We stayed for 6 days at the cabin and had the time of our lives. The views are surreal and I cannot imagine a better location. You can quickly walk by footpath (9 minutes) to Apgar Village for your morning coffee, lunch, dinner, provisions or afternoon ice cream. The lake is perfect for paddle boarding, etc. The beds are very comfortable and the cabin is actually more spacious and nicer than the pictures indicate. The deck is the star of the show. We will return for sure!

Stellar location! Amazing views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Lake McDonald! This property accommodated our family perfectly. The inside is bright and spacious but cozy and comfortable at the same time. The view from the balcony is world-class. The location is perfect as it is within walking distance from the quaint Village of Apgar and right at the base of Going-to-the-sun Road. The Property Manager, Shannon, was great to work with. Thank you for the wonderful family vacation 2023 memories!

Location was right inside the park with the most stunning views. Comfortable sleeping accommodations, useful kitchen to cook meals, and steps to water for a quick, cold refreshing swim!😉. We will be back. Thank you!

Unbelievable View!
The view and setting are worth it! Breath taking! We reached out to ask a few questions regarding recommendations/suggestions about kayaking and other activities, where to rent, etc., before our arrival, but did not get a response, which would have been nice, but not a big deal. We would definitely recommend this property, and would stay here again.

Was woken to horns right outside bedroom windows at 8 am men yelling and a beeping that lasted til 8 pm every day. We had to purchase our own gas line for the grill one was not provided . The view was amazing . Then we’re told we needed to strip beds down , fill start dishwasher , and start laundry . After paying a hefty added on fees . Would not stay again .

Breath-taking beauty
The views from this property are unbelievable!! The water and shoreline are right outside the deck of the front door. The cabin had everything I needed. The bed was very confortable. Slept so well. The kitchen was stocked with all the spices, coffee and filters and cooking pans. The property was very responsive in answering my questions. I can't wait to come back!!

Paradise in glacier
Our stay at this wonderful home literally touching Lake McDonald was nothing short of amazing. All of the descriptions in the listing are spot-on and the scenery is indescribable. You are very close to Apgar Village for supplies and snacks and you are essentially directly on the Road to the Sun. The home and kitchen are fully stocked, so you don’t need to bring salt, pepper, seasonings, etc. We enjoyed every minute of our 5 day stay and will definitely return in the future

Wonderful, clean lake front cabin
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Shannon’s lake cabin. I am a fairly picky traveler (bring my own pillow covers etc :)) but I felt close to home at the lake house. It was clean and comfortable. There was plenty of space for my young family (two boys) to do their own thing while I still enjoy my space in addition to many, many opportunities for sweet family memories (meals on deck, lake fun). Thank you. We will be back

What an amazing spot. We feel so fortunate to have stayed here for our delayed 40th/70th birthday trip. We stared at the mountains over the water whenever we were home. Comfortable rooms. It was fabulous, other than some minor trouble with the screen door closing and being unable to open it.

Comfortable house in great location
Almost any house would be wonderful in this amazing location - it would be hard to be closer to the lake without being on a boat! But the house itself was much nicer than we expected given its location inside the park. It was spacious and comfortable, with much better internet service than described in previous reviews. Proximity to Going to the Sun Road (a very short drive) and Apgar Village (easy walking distance) was much appreciated and saved lots of time each day. We highly recommend this house.

Beautiful!!
Well situated right near Apgar Village with a stunning view of Lake McDonald. We had 4 adults and 2 teens in our group and the property was the perfect size. You could smell how clean it was and it had everything we needed-including bear spray to borrow, which was very thoughtful! Loved having the ability to do laundry and we made all of our meals at home, which was very convenient! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Breathtaking
Shannon was wonderful and the house was perfect. But the view off the deck was staggering. The whole family would just stare at the clouds dancing off the mountains and the sun shimmering off the Lake. We were awe struck. It was like nothing I've seen before and so good I am looking at when I can come back.
