Wonderstone at Glacier

I was very much impressed by looking at this place in reviews and on hotels.com. We booked this place for three nights even though it was expensive almost 350$ per night we were okay given that it was like 20mins away from entering the going to the sun road. However once we were here I was pretty disappointed given the size of room. We booked queen size room it was so small that there was not enough place except to sleep and there was small table and mini fridge that is about it. It would have been better if it had more space at-least like a sitting area within the room. May be they offer only bed for that size of room we booked. Apart from that the place was very well maintained and neat. The bathroom was neat and all newly renovated. The lobby was a decent place to sit around if needed. They also had a bear rental vending machine outside which was great pricing 10$ for single day or 15$ for 2 days as of July 2025. I would visit this place again but only if we got a bigger room and a decent price. The biggest advantage was the closeness to the Glacier Park.

We recently spent three nights at Wonderstone at Glacier near Columbia Falls, MT, and I can truly say it was one of the most memorable stays we've ever had. From the moment we arrived—late at night after a long journey—the hotel’s clear and timely communication made all the difference. The text and email instructions from the management were so precise that checking in was effortless, even in the dark. Our room was warm, inviting, and impeccably clean, with a charming balcony that offered serene mountain views each morning. The location itself couldn’t have been better—just minutes from gas stations and a 24-hour Super One grocery store, plus plenty of nearby dining options, from local spots to familiar food chains. And with the West entrance of Glacier National Park only a short 40-minute drive away and so as the Kalispell airport, it was the perfect base for our adventures. But what truly made this place shine was the heart and hospitality of the people. I called the hotel several times before our trip with questions, and each time the staff responded with such genuine kindness and patience. Their warm demeanor never wavered. On the day we checked out, we wanted to take a family photo out front, and Carleen at the front desk didn’t hesitate—she came outside with a smile and offered to take it for us. That simple, thoughtful gesture meant so much. Moments like that linger in your memory long after the trip ends. We’re deeply grateful to the entire team at Wonderstone for their care and attention. Their hospitality turned a great vacation into something truly special. I just wanted to give a small suggestion, a coffee machine and microwave oven at the room would have been great!

Fantastic stay at Wonderstone for our first time in Montana. We were in town for Under the Big Sky and this was a perfect home base. 20-25 minutes from everything including Glacier. Room was spacious and clean. The complimentary snacks were great. The staff kept us updated via text the whole time of all check in/ check out procedures. Shower pressure and temperature were great after long days of exploring!

The bed was comfortable overall, though it’s on the firmer side my husband liked the pillow, but I found it a bit too hard for my taste. The place itself is amazing, but be aware that the walls are quite thin. If you’re on the first floor, you can hear every footstep above you. That was the only real disappointment, especially since I had requested a second floor room but was told there was no record of it. The first night was a bit rough due to the noise, and although earplugs were mentioned, there weren’t in the room. Thankfully there was white noise machine provided in the room which kinda helped block out external sounds. The second night was much quieter. One small inconvenience was the bathroom light and fan turning off during my shower and it startled me every time! But it’s an easy fix: just open and shut the door to reset it. A little quirky, but manageable. On the plus side, the room is very spacious and well kept. I loved that there was a fridge in the room and a microwave available in the lobby. The door uses a code instead of a key, which was convenient. The TV was high quality, though the volume didn’t quite match up. Free coffee and tea were a nice bonus, and the view from the room was absolutely beautiful. Despite a few small issues, I still highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting the Glacier area. I would definitely stay again!

Rooms were beautiful with lots of room. The beds were incredible! I slept to so well. Close to West Glacier entrance to Glacier. Columbia Falls had all sorts of food options. Great choice all the way around

I recently stayed at Wonderstone for a girls' trip, and while the location and design were top-notch, a few details missed the mark—especially at the inflated seasonal rates we paid. **The pros:** The lodge is beautifully designed and ideally situated between Whitefish and Glacier National Park. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We also appreciated the thoughtful amenities like the white noise machine, water refill station, the smooth check-in and check-out process, and the complimentary snacks in the room—all nice touches that added to the experience. **The cons:** For a place that advertises "community engagement," I was surprised at how little there was to actually encourage it—beyond a shared coffee pot in the lobby, we didn’t experience anything that fostered “connection among guests”. Unless you count knowing way too much about the habits of the people in the room above us. It sounded like someone was walking and dropping things nonstop. It made it hard to relax or sleep, which was disappointing given that’s what we paid to do here. Our room also lacked basic functionality—there wasn't a single hook for wet towels, which became a real issue with three people sharing the space and is a pretty big miss when I’m paying over $450/night. Staff mentioned they'd heard this complaint before, but hadn’t made it a priority to fix. All in all, Wonderstone has potential—it’s stylish, cozy, and close to adventure. But for the exorbitant cost, I expected a quieter, more functional experience.

I’m absolutely loved this hotel! So charming. They have a wide range of rooms to pick from, king with trundle, two queens and a couch etc etc . The bed was SO comfortable. Extremely nice linen. (Towels and sheets she were very soft and luxurious feeling.) It is quiet and so close to Glacier Park. also really attractive pricing for how modern and clean it was. Was it a 5 star resort? No. Was it a clean, new, small hotel with close proximity to Glacier? Yes!Definitely will be returning next time I am in the Flathead. Would also definitely recommend. Honestly my only complaints (one is not even a complaint just a wish) is that it was built in more secluded, area, not off of a somewhat busy road and wish they had breakfast available there for free or charge.

We stayed for two days and enjoyed the local area. Wonderstone had a superb staff that was friendly and very helpful. They had coffee, filtered water and snacks available to guests. The room was very clean and inviting. The beds were comfortable. We were on a 16 day trip out west and this was by far one of the best hotel stays of the trip.

I LOVE Wonderstone at Glacier!!! I stayed in their bunk room, and it was absolutely delightful. It's the BEST one I have ever experienced, Everything was perfect. Wonderstone is newly remodeled and beautiful. They have all the conveniences and generously offer treats. The hotel is also immaculately clean. One of the other wonderful things about Wonderstone is the employees. They are so kind, friendly, smart, efficient, helpful, and hardworking. Special thanks to Clayton, Claire, Karlayn, Jacob, and Roger. I highly recommend Wonderstone! If you stay, please be a good, kind, and respectful guest to positively support this lovely hotel!!!

Had a great stay! We were at the building on the south side of the street (both look beautiful and new). Our room was tastefully styled and clean. They provided health snacks that are great to grab and go for a hike. Very kind gesture! They also provided "rag towels" for cleaning shoes or gear which is thoughtful. Beautiful bathroom. Love that our room had a mini fridge. There was a microwave and coffee downstairs at the lobby. Very easy to check in and out remotely. The drive is about 25min to Apgar visitor center.

I'll start by saying the property LOOKS nice. The room was clean and well decorated. BUT, we knew we were in trouble when there was a noise maker and ear plugs by the bed. You can hear EVERYTHING that goes on in your hall. Every door closing, people talking, walking down the hall, and if you are on the first floor it sounds like elephants are above you. The suitcases rolling across the floor above sounds like a train. We would have changed hotels if anything else was available!

Amazing motel, I stayed in the bunkhouse for a reasonable price and had access to everything I needed to reset to continue my bike trip across the United States

Great motel. Incredible remodel at some point. A little noisy but they provided ear plugs and a sound machine. Fridge in room.

Pros: beds were comfortable, clean, newly-renovated rooms, and free snacks. Cons: ROAD NOISE IS LOUD! We read a few reviews and thought we would be fine. Any and all sound traveled through our outside door. We barely slept. Otherwise great staff and local Recommendations!

Very nice clean room, memory foam mattress. And a modern bathroom and shower. Check in lady was super friendly and inviting. Free parking and WiFi, great location and no breakfast. Only thing I didn't like was check out guy. Didn't acknowledge me when I went to check out, didn't say a thing. So I just left my keys in front of him hoping he'd check me out. But even still room was nice enough for me to keep it a 5 star.

Fantastic location near west entrance to Glacier National Park. Staff were super friendly. Can be a little noisy in the street facing rooms so if you can get one facing the rear it might be a bit quieter. Rooms and bathrooms appear to have been recently updated.

Highly recommend staying at Wonderstone. Super clean and friendly. Family owned and operated. I will back and will bring my entire family.

Our stay was a disaster. The room was spacious and clean those are the only two positive things I can say about it. Road noise was awful, we were told it would settle down after 10pm, it might have a little but by 4:40 am it was quite noisy again. The room had no drapes, just a thin white shade which did not help with the noise and was the brightest room when the sun came up. It was impossible to sleep after sunrise. There was no TV and the olympics were on so that was unpleasant. There were 3 spiders in the room, two crawling up the wall and one large one under a tote bag when I moved it in the morning. There was no closet just three hooks on the wall to hang clothes, no safe for valuables if we left the room. No desk or chair to sit and work. Not a box of tissues, no hand towel hook by the sink. Must have very thin walls, we could easily hear people upstairs and in the hallway. The Food Truck was not open at 5pm when we arrived, it was not open at 8:00am when we went for coffee and it was not open at 10:30 when we left the hotel. I really believe you need to change the name from Wonderstone to Blunderstone. I could not in good conscience recommend this hotel to anyone even if it were only $100 per night instead of $344. Very disappointing!

I actually enjoyed my brief stay here and I experienced peace & quiet(mid-October). The bathroom was very nicely designed. The bed being set low was not my favorite but the mattress was great.

Great sleep and stay hotel. We really enjoyed our stay, the bed was super comfortable, the room was updated and clean, and it was only 20 minutes away from Glacier National Park entrance. I've read other reviews about noise issues but it's just an older building so it can be a bit noisy, but the hotel takes steps to mitigate the noise including providing ear plugs and white noise machines in every room. Will definitely stay here again

Wow! Beautiful rooms that give off a southern bohemian vibe that is aesthetically pleasing. We were extremely pleased with the cleanliness and the comfortability of our room. We barely noticed road noise and the convenience of it being right between downtown Whitefish and Glacier was very convenient. On top of all these things, Kristina was kind and very accommodating to our needs. For example, after our long hike at Glacier she allowed us to return even though we had already checked out so that we were able to shower before our trip home. If you are planning on making a trip to Glacier this summer, we would highly recommend Wonderstone at Glacier!

This is right on the highway so if your room is in front it is noisy. The window coverings do not block out the light. There are NO TV's in any room. I give it 2 stars for being clean, easy to check into, and in-room complimentary snacks.

Okay first off We are on a mission to find a good hotel to stay in near glacier park and Kalispell Montana and we have found it. I regret to say though that when i planned my trip i booked a different hotel every night and although it is missing the luxury of an indoor pool and jacuzzi it has been the best room thus far after staying at the country inn and suites, my place, and tru by Hilton if you want an affordable, comfortable, and spacious place to stay here it is! Could use a towel hook near the bathroom sink and a new wall ac/heater (which would probably be more energy friendly as well) they did a fantastic job with the remodel and i am glad to say i will be back for another stay!

I've stayed at this hotel a few times but only once since the remodel. They did a wonderful job with it and besides the outside being a dead give away that it's the same hotel you would never know! They chose to go with modern mixed with rustic vibes and they mesh very well! Being so close to Glacier National Park and only a few minutes from town makes this hotel a great choice! The staff is very pleasant and do everything they can to accommodate their guests! The beds are so comfy that I was able to sleep soundly! The rooms are spacious and very clean and we had a large walk in shower, which I loved! I'll be staying there again for sure!

What a wonderful hotel! The room decor was Minimalist chic, and it was very clean. They are currently installing tvs in every room after receiving feedback from previous customers. We can tell the owner takes the reviews seriously as I read previous posts with suggestions which I saw implemented in the room. Other folks mentioned traffic noise from out front since its on the highway, but this did not bother me much as it died down later in the night. Overall this is a great spot with one of the most affordable rates in the area. I would definitely stay here again.
