We had some great hikes, rented kayaks and bikes, and Did some fishing. Highlights included white water rafting, seeing a baby moose, a few eagles, many deer, and beautiful scenery. Such a great location for a cabin! The fireplace worked great to keep us warm. We enjoyed using the deck and grill on sunny days, as well as the cards and DVDs on rainy days.

She was communicative and really helpful through the initial booking all through our stay. The cabin is clean, comfortable and perfectly located near a general store, the Lodge and a couple restaurants, but it’s also remote and quiet and private. The views are stunning, sitting on the deck out to the lake was a major highlight and we experienced many sunrises and sunsets! The bedrooms are roomy and awesome views from each, there are two bathrooms and that was great for six of us. The cabin has all the things you’d need, kitchen items, towels, bedding, grill, washer/dryer etc. this was my bucket list trip and you helped make this dream trip come true. My heart is still in Glacier/MT and I will be back one day hopefully soon! I highly recommend Char and her beautiful cabin!! ##### Amanda K.

Aug 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A perfect family vacation This rental is fantastic! A hidden gem inside a miracle of a park. Our family stayed for a week and had an incredible experience while there. Communication with the host(Char) was terrific throughout the planning stages and while visiting. You can’t beat the location, and the advantages of staying inside the park are tremendous. It’s a quick drive up to Logan Pass, and it was easy for us to make breakfast AND still get up there for a parking spot. If you wanted to sleep in, the shuttle pick up is a very short walk from this cabin. There is nothing better than relaxing on the boat house deck after a day in the park. There was plenty of room for a family of five, and we had the luxury of cooking meals while visiting this magnificent place. We absolutely loved our time there, and the kids already mentioned what they wanted to do for a return trip in the future. We are so thankful to find this listing. ##### Michael H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Dorothy N. Jul 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A cozy cabin in the heart of Glacier Our family really enjoyed our stay here - the cabin is well equipped and meets all your basic needs in addition to providing access to the lake/beach and some gorgeous views. The lakefront deck is large but could use some cozier furniture for relaxing and sunning ( basic chairs and a picnic table only on there at thia point); providing a kayak and a paddle board would also be awesome as these are difficult to rent from the nearby lodge ( small availabilyty and large demand, at least in the high season). The septic system at the cabin was a bit touchy ( we ended up using the bathrooms at the adjacent motel amd across the road part of the time) and the kitchen has a leaky sink at present. Of note: the cabin is very closely adjacent (without compromising to the intimate setting) to the Macdonald Motel, so for larger groups can be combined with renting a motel room or two and still allow your group to vacation together. ##### Dorothy N. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann R. Sep 20, 2018 #### Loved being there during fire season. We were lucky enough to be there during the Howe Ridge fire. I say that because the cottage was open but there were no park guest services at Lake McDonald. To us, that meant we had the lake to ourselves! There was no traffic, all we had was the lake, the fantastic view and solitude. Of course the amenities in the cottage met all our needs. The third day the Going to the Sun road opened up all the way to St Mary's to privately owned vehicles. Wow! We joined everyone going all the way to St Mary's and back. Such an unbelievable road, carved out of rock. Anyway, being at the cottage with the road open but all park services closed at the Lake McDonald Lodge area was still great to us. There were few people parking and wandering around the lodge complex hoping to get inside the buildings but overall, no one came to our end of the complex. We loved it! ##### Ann R. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy W., Port Ludlow, WA Sep 8, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely wonderful We were a group of four adults who stayed here the week before Labor Day. This rustic well-furnished cabin is my idea of heaven. Comfortable leather chairs. A lake view from the bedroom. It is well-loved, but was immaculate when we arrived. Wifi worked very well for us, all appliances worked, beds & linens comfortable, enough hot water. There is plenty of kitchen ware, ranging from clearly recent purchases to well-used items. As noted by another reviewer, the dryer takes an extra cycle...we didn't do much laundry, but having the washer/dryer was a great convenience. We were lucky with the weather and swam every day (be brave!). The location is priceless - within the park, easy walking distance to Lake Mcdonald Lodge and the little camp store. The hiking shuttle picks up across from the store and the Red Bus Tours from the lodge. The boathouse deck is amazing in the afternoon sun. We had great communication with the owner; directions were clear & no issues with key code. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. ##### Amy W.
