"Our stay at St. Mary’s Lodge became something we will never forget—not because of the beautiful surroundings, but because of the incredible kindness and compassion shown by the staff.
During our stay, I experienced a medical emergency in the middle of the night and had to be transported by ambulance to an emergency hospital about 45 minutes away. My wife went with me, and with no transportation available in the area, the hotel manager, Erin, personally came to pick us up and bring us back to the lodge.
When we were preparing to check out, my condition suddenly worsened. I developed severe chills and was shaking violently, requiring another trip to the emergency room. After further evaluation, I had to be transferred to another hospital nearly two hours away for additional testing.
Without hesitation, Erin volunteered to drive my truck to the second hospital because my wife was not comfortable driving it. Even more amazingly, despite it being late at night, she stayed with us at the hospital to make sure we were okay before returning to the lodge early the next morning.
We are deeply grateful to Erin and the entire St. Mary’s Lodge team for going far beyond what anyone could expect. Their compassion, generosity, and genuine care during one of the most difficult experiences we’ve ever faced meant the world to us. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of us. We will never forget your kindness."
"Quiet and cozy just like the sign on the wall inside our cabin. No issues, very clean and spacious. Would stay again and highly recommend for the $$."
"This is an amazing historic hotel right outside of glacier national. The Front desk staff were awesome; college kids from Lexington Kentucky. The on-site restaurant is fabulous. Joe can fix you up some great huckleberry cocktails. It’s a perfect place to stay when you’re in the area."
Glacier National Park central location. Many Glacier, St. Mary, and Two Medicine
10/10 Excellent
"Centrally located, plenty of parking, host provided great directions. We arrived in the dark & still managed to find it effortlessly. Host provided lots of extras such as detergent, a number of 5-gal water jugs, etc. not typically provided. Cabin was very clean and comfortable."
Duck Lake West Shore, Just 15 Minutes from Glacier National Park!
10/10 Excellent
"Larry responded quickly to my inquiries both prior to arrival and while we were there. Good location - more or less between St. Mary and Many Glacier, which we loved. It was actually enjoyable to be outside the park a bit after spending the day in the park as it was quiet and peaceful. It was nice to have a BBQ as one evening we relaxed at the cabin and BBQ'd and we really enjoyed the deck, lawn area and fire pit. The house was well stocked overall, however it would have been nice to have a few more variety of drinking glasses (i.e. smaller glasses as well as some wine glasses) and some shower body wash or soap would have been helpful as well. Not a deal breaker though! It looked like some previous guests left bear spray, bug repellent and some sunscreen which was nice. Glacier NP is a treasure and we were thankful to find this cabin so we could visit our daughter who is a ranger in St. Mary! Overall it was a very nice, comfortable place that I'd recommend for others and I'd definitely come back!"
"Stayed here for 2 nights in July with family.
Positives: Gorgeous setting. Swiss-like esthetics. Loved that you could walk to the trails and not worry about finding parking before beginning our hike(s). Ate at the lounge restaurant and it was very good. Also thrilled to have a coffee shop, snack shop available. If able to, go to dinner one night at the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn restaurant (just a couple minutes away driving) then walk down to Fishcap Lake (nicknamed Moose Lake). It’s about a 5-10 min easy walk. We visited this lake 3 times and saw moose 2 of those times. When visiting after dinner around 7, it was like the animals were paid actors. Deer all around, birds, beaver swimming, and a huge, bull moose. One of the highlights of the trip!
Negatives: a small hike is necessary to get to the parking lot. There is not dedicated guest parking, so during the day the lot fills fast due to others not staying at Many Glacier wanting to use the easily accessible trails. During the day, it is hard to find parking. It was not a problem when we left for dinner and returned in the evening.
Our room had a balcony but the bench and floorboards were covered in bird poop so not really usable. Shower was tiny and room definitely was warm for sleeping with no AC (but expected—it is July at a national park lodge, afterall)"
