Glacier Lodge was so close to the west entry to Glacier National Park.The lodge itself was spotless. The beds were super comfortable. |Easy parking. The breakfast each morning was delicious. I loved the muffins, my husband loved the egg buritos. Excellent coffee. I strongly recommend this place. Book early. It is hard to get rooms.

What a gem! Our room was clean and comfy, the location is perfect for quick entrance to West Glacier NP, and our host, Brian was extremely friendly and helpful. He answered all our recommendations questions and was spot on with information that ensured we had the perfect week in Glacier. We loved our backyard patio, the upstairs game room, and delicious breakfast. Highly recommended this adorable lodge. We can’t wait to come back!

We had an awesome time at Glacier, and loved staying at Glacier Guides Lodge. First, they were able to accomodate an early morning check-in when we got off our Amtrak train (it's a five minute walk up the hill from the station). The building is beautifully built - obviously new and modern, but designed and built with a wilderness aesthetic and real craftmanship, fitting of the wooded surroundings. We regret we didn't have more time to enjoy the cozy lounge, we were so busy hiking every day! The delicious breakfast burritos were a fantastic start to each day.

What a gem tucked into the woods, away from crowds but so close to the park entrance. We stayed the last week of the ‘25 season and were the last to be served on their closing day. Brian and staff remained friendly and accommodating even though they were all fried from a busy summer haha We booked GGL 8 months in advance just in case but October is pretty quiet around the park so probably wasn’t necessary. Bring plenty of warm gear!! We caught first snow and winter storm with Going to the Sun closing down on 10/12.

Great and comfortable stay! Felt very safe and welcomed as a solo traveler. I took the train in and was able to walk up to the lodge no problem, and they were extra accommodating with the timing of the train and check in/out as well. Only thing I would add is more lighting leading up to the entrance.

We loved staying at the Lodge, which couldn't be more conveniently located to the park. The room was clean and the beds comfy--I slept really well! And breakfast was fine. It's a very sweet, lovely place to stay!

Having recently spent four nights at Glacier Guides Lodge, I'll say that we were very pleased with all aspects of our stay. Previous reviewers were right: The location is great, and the rooms/amenities are surely a much better value than what you will find at any of the Xanterra places in the park. One really special feature is the upstairs reading room—it’s a beautiful place to relax and read after a busy day.||The bottom line is that we would definitely want to stay at Glacier Guides Lodge on any future visit to the national park.

We enjoyed our stay here and would stay again! The breakfast was delicious (seriously who knew breakfast burritos would be the highlight of our trip). Friendly staff and our room was perfect. It's close to the park and their rental equipment. We liked that it was close but not in the heart of the busy parts. Rooms are cozy and private! They have ice machines - perfect to fill up our camelback. They also give you bear spray to borrow. We would stay here again!!

This was a great place to stay! It's very close to the park entrance. The rooms are large and comfortable. They have really nice public spaces as well. I like that they have tasty coffee in the lobby and they provide a decent breakfast. I would definitely stay here again!

So happy we got to stay here 2 nights this week. We arrived via Amtrak, didn't have a car, had no way to get to our original booking at Lake McDonald lodge. This is just a short walk from the train station. The room was v spacious, super comfortable, has a large bathtub with very hot water- perfect after a day of biking and white water rafting. And the breakfast changes daily and super delicious! They also provide trail bars, fruits , yogurt and assortment of cakes, breads, cereals and even almond milk. Amanda makes the perfect well-timed hard-boiled eggs! She also went the extra miles to help us in our trip. We were so comfortable I didn't want to leave! If you're lucky enough to get a vacancy, stay here!

We had a pleasant experience with this lodge. It's located right outside of the west glacier entrance. It was slightly off the road, so the passing train wasn't an issue. The wall is thin though. We could hear the next door couple talking and laughing. The room is big enough for two. There was a small fridge in the room. The shower has hot running water. The room was clean. When Amanda was on duty, she made hot egg sandwiches on different breads every day for the guests. There were plentiful other items for breakfast. I highly recommend this place.

This was the final stop during our two week adventure to Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier in mid October during COVID. We spent 5 nights at Glacier Guides Lodge and it was by far our favorite! The people at the lodge were friendly and helpful with local places of interest. The location couldn't have been better. About a 3-5 mins drive to Glacier National Park. The rooms were spacious and clean with a semi-private outdoor seating area, all very charming. We were by no means roughing it in Teton and Yellowstone prior but I mostly appreciated the warm down comforters, a shower with good water pressure and the hot breakfast sandwiches. The only negatives I would report, which was not the end of the world, was the weak coffee and non existent wifi/cell service. The coffee was pretty much just hot water so we added 1/2 packet of Starbucks instant coffee to each cup to give it some body but it was still nice to have something warm to drink in the cold mornings. The wifi was pretty non existent most of time. Although it's not a fair comparison, to put it in perspective, my home wifi speed hovers around 200 Mbp. Their's was anywhere between 0.58 and 0.89 Mbps, especially during the evenings as more guests would return to the lodge. This was frustrating when trying to plan the next day's activities, look up directions, distances, weather forecast etc. We had to be mindful to look everything up before heading back. We found and dubbed a location in the park, "wifi hill" (I know it wasn't wifi) because it was the closest place where we were able to get 3 bars of cellular service. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again on my next trip back to Glacier.

For starters, Amanda is the coolest! Thanks for being such an attentive front desk attendant/all around grounds keeper(?); you certainly made the stay more comfortable for us. Also, thanks to Judith (and Amanda) for refunding our $ for a night when we accidentally showed up one day later than we paid for. This is definitely above and beyond what you would expect from your standard lodging establishment. Definitely recommend!

This spot is great - very pleasantly surprised on how charming and clean the room was. The staff is super friendly! A great vibe and right across from the west entrance to the park.

Di and I spent hours researching places to stay. Look no further this is the right place! Jennifer and Don are awesome. They run this place and balance service and fun. Check in was easy. The reception for guests is an awesome time to get advice on the park hikes et al. We are doing the raft trip in am and they are accommodating us for late check out. It is Eco friendly and new. We like new and it does not lose any ambiance. People make the business. The team here is great. Friendly kind and all smiles. Steve

PERFECTION! I'll be honest; I wasn't in Glacier to rough it. I don't mind getting dirty in the outdoors during the day, but at night I like to retreat to a nice place with a comfy bed. Most of the options I looked at in the area were campgrounds, B&Bs, or dated motels with pink floral prints emblazoned on every conceivable surface. Enter Glacier Guides Lodge. The place is well-maintained and looks like it was just built. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfy, there's free wifi, satellite TV, and a complimentary continental breakfast perfect for fueling up before a day of hiking. Best of all, the service is fantastic. Josh and Buck helped me plan my journey through the park and gave me great recommendations. I'll definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for 1 night this past summer as out launch point for backpacking in Glacier National Park. It is right outside of the west entrance of the park. We arrived late around 9pm and Josh was up ready to check us in and help plan our trip. He got on the computer and spent an hour or two going over all possibilities. He also let us borrow bear spray for our whole 2 week stay. The rooms are immaculate and comfortable. It has a modern cozy cabin decor and feel. I highly recommend the Glacier Guides Lodge for any one going to Glacier NP! Ask Josh for restaurant recommendations! We had our best meal/breakfast in Whitefish, Eggs Benedict and stuffed french toast. I didn't expect to find a place so good, better than a lot of fancy places I've been to in fancy cities. I can't remember the name of the restaurant. Ask Josh!

Couldn't get any closer to the entrance to the Glacier National Park. Very nice lodge with friendly staff. The building is newer and well kept. The staff share tips and answer questions while you enjoy your breakfast. The breakfast every morning isn't your usual continental with dry bagels and juice. They use local jams, fresh fruit, organic cereals, fresh baked cookies. A+ experience.

I am in love with this lodge. After a month in a funky group house-share inside the park, it was fantastic to come in to a lovely, modern room with a cozy lodge feel. The grounds were beautiful, and our first floor room opened up onto a private patio area. The lobby area has snacks and drinks at all hours (the guides even baked cookies!) and the breakfast was by far the best "continental" I've had anywhere. This more than makes up for the hard boiled egg and dry fruit loops I've been stuck with elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and go with these folks.

We stayed here for a couple nights for a wedding in west glacier August 2013. What a great place! Very clean, very quiet, and the morning breakfast was perfect. Hospitable staff and knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed here recently for several days and what a wonderful experience it was. Immaculate, all the amenities, and top-notch service by manager Teal. We would recommend this lodge to everybody, and would absolutely stay here again if in the area.

I stumbled upon this Lodge by doing a safari search for lodges in or near Glacier national park. We loved this small, quiet, clean 12 room Lodge with a healthy breakfast included every morning. We had an end room upstairs with extra windows on the side, 2 comfortable queen beds, A/C if needed and nice bathroom with wall heater, night stand and desk with chair. We even had a little space heater that looked like a small wood stove in our room for heat if needed. The gal who runs it, (family owned) Teal was awesome. She made a healthy breakfast each morning & provided take a long snacks for us as we headed out for a day of exploring. She gave great info on horse back riding, the areas in the park to see and local restaurants. We would stay here again if we returned to Glacier.

What an awesome place to stay. This is like staying with family as the staff is so friendly and helpful. They spend time with everyone during breakfast getting to know each person. The breakfast is great with all organic and local products, gluten free, organic soy, almond, coconut milks are all available. Fresh fruit is always available as well as coffee, tea, granola bars, etc. The rooms are very spacious with an extra large tub/shower and comfy beds. Overall, we couldn't have picked a nicer location or friendlier environment. Hope to return next year when they reopen for the 2016 season. Thank you for your hospitality.

Very pleased with our stay here! We just needed one additional night near Glacier as we were too late to stay in the park for our entire stay. Having been here, we'll come back here instead of staying in the park! Within 5 minutes of the Apgar entrance, quiet, peaceful ambiance, and the sense of an upscale B&B! The room was super clean and very comfortable! Kid-friendly to our toddler, too. Breakfast is continental-style, very filling! The only reason it's 4 is because we were only here for less than 24 hours, so I can't speak to any other aspects. I know other reviewers have, though. Edit: Upgrading to a 5! Heard the staff giving lots if great advice for where to hike, etc, and we knew it was great advice, because we had done those hikes! So impressed by this place!
