Why Choose Glacier Bear Cabin?
When you’re ready to come to the crown jewel of the continent, why not stay inside the park? At 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, or read a book at McDonald Creek while the water makes quiet music for you.
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.
Glacier Bear Cabin
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 Glacier Bear Cabin, not only do you get the experience of staying INSIDE Glacier National Park but you get a few perks as well.
Going To The Sun Road - Complete Access Is Yours
You have complete access to the Going To The Sun Road. When others have to wait or sign up for a ticket, you come right in and enjoy all the west to east beauty of the Crown of the Continent. You will still need a Glacier National Park's pass to enter the park but you will have access to GTTSR while you stay with Glacier Bear. We will send you details prior to your arrival.
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)
Kayaks and Paddle Boards
There's no need to schedule and pay extra to rent kayaks or paddle boards. When you stay at 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! You go whenever the water is calling you. (Second Sunday in May thru October 31st for Lake McDonald per National Park Service Rules)
