About this property
West Glacier Bear Cabin In Glacier National Park
Why Choose West Glacier Bear Cabin?
When you’re ready to come to the crown jewel of the continent, why not stay inside the park? At West Glacier Bear Cabin, you can walk to Lake McDonald with your morning cup of coffee or take an after-dinner stroll across the street for ice cream, saunter a short distance to a hiking trail.
Located on the Edge of the Wilderness
Imagine waking up and having 1,000,000 acres of Glacier National Park in your backyard. It doesn’t get any better than staying in Apgar Village and Lake McDonald.
Your days away from the hustle and bustle of daily life will begin and end in a cozy single story, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom (and 1 sofa sleeper) cottage with all the amenities, settings and extras to ensure your stay here becomes an experience you’ll treasure.
Our rustic setting and furnishings will welcome you home after a long day of kayaking Lake McDonald or on the trails. A fully furnished kitchen will let you cook up a delicious dinner or take a 2 minute walk into Apgar and let the expert cooks at the cafe do the work for you.
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.
On-Site E-Bikes And Mountain Bikes
Rather than scheduling time and paying to rent mountain bikes, we have 2 e-bikes and 2 Mountain bikes with helmets on-site so you can use them anytime it fits for you. You can explore Glacier National Park all day long if you’d like. Or, maybe you want to take leisurely bike ride after dinner then stop for some creamy delicious Huckleberry ice cream at Eddie’s Cafe. (Use of Bicycles is weather permitting)
On-Site Kayaks and Paddle Boards
There's no need to schedule and pay extra to rent kayaks or paddle boards. When you stay at West Glacier Bear Cabin, we have 3 kayaks and 2 paddle boards on-site so you can use anytime it fits your schedule. Want to take a quick paddle before lunch, just grab a paddle board and head to the lake. There is no need to reserve or wait on weather! You go whenever Lake McDonald is calling you. (Second Sunday in May thru October 31st for Lake McDonald per National Park Service Rules)
Ideal Location
We are located within short walking distance to a dining, a little gift shop, some ice cream, hiking and biking trails and Lake McDonald or McDonald Creek.
West Glacier Bear Cabin is Located:
40 minutes from Glacier International Airport
30 minutes to Whitefish, MT
0 minutes to Glacier National Park
