#1 Glacier Park Cabin On Lake McDonald Unsurpassed Views, Unforgettable!
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.
An amazing spot to make memories that will last a lifetime!

The views from this cabin are jaw dropping! The lake with the mountains are right off the back patio, nicely showcased by the huge windows. Very cute cabin, it has everything you need and then some! It is just a few steps from the adorable Apgar Village where we got fresh baked huckleberry pie and supplies everyday. It was very clean and it’s a steal for the price. I highly recommend!
This is an amazing property and one of our family favorites. We look forward to making more memories here for generations to come. Great house in an unsurpassed location with easy to deal with host.
We enjoyed our time at this property! The view is like amazing, pictures don't do it justice.

A great place to stay with a view that can’t be beat. I love Apgar Village just down the street. You’d never have to leave this place if you just wanted to chill
Everything was beautiful! Probably the best view you can get from a cabin in the park. The cabin itself is beautiful and quaint, the pictures on the website honestly don’t do it justice! Would definitely love to come back in the future
Wonderful location for a family! Beautiful scenery, kind neighbors, close to Apgar Village!
Our family had such a wonderful stay at this cabin! They loved being able to go right off of the front deck and splash around in Lake McDonald. The cabin was immaculate and had a fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, and even Tupperware, so we could take lunch on the go in the park.
The views of the lake and mountains are stunning. Cabin is very comfortable and well maintained. Beds were comfortable. Communication with host was easy and pleasant.
This property was the most spectacular property we have ever rented. The views from the deck and house are unmatched. Would definitely stay here again.

Leif, We are So glad you enjoyed the cabin and that you got to see what we are so proud to share! Thank you so much for staying with us and we would Love to have you back! Enjoy the rest of your summer,
Shannon
Stunning property and breathtaking views! I throughly enjoyed my entire stay. I rarely ventured from the cabin, as the view was enough to keep me rooted on the porch just enjoying how peaceful it was. The only negative thing I have to say is the fact that I had to leave!
We had an amazing stay in this wonderful cabin on the lake. We hiked and kayaked and sailed for a week of relaxation with our college aged kids. It was heaven on earth!
What an incredible home in a perfect location! The ease of booking, communication and check in are well worth the stay! Thank you to Shannon for making the entire stay easy from start to finish.
Wow, what amazing views & location of this cabin! We absolutely loved our 2 night stay (wished we could have stayed longer!) Loved the little Apgar Village which was just a short walk away. We rented a kayak & paddle board for the day & were able to come & go to cabin throughout the day. We have such beautiful pictures & memories from our stay at your piece of paradise on McDonald Lake! Thank you for your hospitality.
We really enjoyed our visit here. The view of the lake when we first arrived and our kids excitement upon seeing it is a memory I will always cherish. For large families the single bathroom is a pain point but worth it.
