Inside Glacier National Park, Lakefront cabin

One of a kind vacation!

Staying inside the park enables you to get ahead of the crowds, avoid long lines entering the park and no reservation/ticket is needed for the Going-to-the -Sun Road.

Shorefront cabin on Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. Charming log home on a private beach with the rugged Rocky Mountains outside your window. Wake to Mt Stanton, Mt Vaught reflected in the iridescent water of Lake McDonald.

Spend dreamy summer days lounging on the deck under an umbrella basking in the beauty of scenic Glacier National Park or partake in the endless recreational possibilities at your doorstep.

Stroll on the Trail of the Cedars or hike the pristine forest to Sperry Chalet. Tour spectacular Going-to-the-Sun Road, stopping at Logan Pass, the Continental divide, capture Triple Divide Peak and abundant wildlife for photographic memories. Hike the Highline Trail to historic Granite Park Chalet with breathtaking vistas traversing sheer sedimentary rocks below the Garden Wall.

After a day exploring the nearby natural wonders, enjoy the sunset in privacy at your own beach with a glass of wine and dinner sizzling on the BBQ.
From your bedroom window awaken to majestic peaks reflected on deep blue clear waters of Lake McDonald. Stroll over to Lake McDonald Lodge for a cup of coffee enjoying company in front of the grand fireplace. Take a boat tour on the Desmit or paddle along the shore for a close-up intimate experience with nature.

As the park's natural beauty seeps into your breath, settle into an evening at the cabin in front of the fire, reading, playing games/cards or watching a video. Cabin life beckons you to let go and relax within the cozy atmosphere decorated with original oil paintings and historic photographs.

For an unforgettable holiday explore the many activities in and around Glacier: from Huckleberry Festivals to mountain biking; from art festivals to helicopter tours; from guided naturalist talks to white water rafting; from fishing & boating to wildlife viewing; from photographic wonders to shopping in trendy Whitefish.

A week won't be enough time to enjoy it all and a return visit will be on the calendar. A vacation place emblazoned on your memory for its pristine wilderness adventures and picturesque wilderness experience. Find the magic in Glacier National Park!

Because we have neighbors and we want to be good neighbors we limit the number of people on the property to 2 people who are not registered guests.

Wonderful place and access to the park

Stayed here with my wife and almost 2 year old daughter as well as family friends with two more kids of 5 and 3 years old. Everything was wonderful; the lake, the cabin, easy access to the park, and walking distance to a small shop and a couple restaurants. It was a surprisingly smooth trip with three little kids. Thank you to the owners for sharing your place and being so helpful!

Once-in-a-Lifetime Trip!

We had to very lucky chance to stay inside GNP in this cozy cabin right on Lake McDonald. It was absolutely wonderful. We did all kinds of hiking, enjoyed the deck and views, and loved the proximity to Lake McDonald Lodge. Char was an excellent host. We have nothing but good things to say. Thanks to the host for sharing this special place!

Great Location on Lake McDonald

We LOVED being able to sit on the deck and enjoy our view of Lake McDonald! Being inside the park is a big plus - we had a head start on the crowds as we started our adventure each day. Char was excellent in responding to us and information provided in the cabin was helpful. We enjoyed our stay in this rustic cabin

This is my fourth visit in two years.

The Cabin, and Glacier National Park, feels like home. From the location and amenities to the charming, warm, and homey feel of the Cabin, it just feels like it can't get any better (except the slow wifi - i work when i travel and need wifi).

Fantastic location on Lake McDonald!

Charlene was great to work with! We had our own designated parking spot for the week which was great for loading and unloading the vehicle. We were completely smitten with the lovely views of the lake from our large bedroom windows. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. It was such a relaxing stay!

Perfect Location

The location of this cabin can’t be beat. Being inside the park and not needing a vehicle reservation or having to wait in line to get in the park was really great. It was very convenient being able to walk to the lodge, camp store, horse stable, and shuttle stop. The views from inside the cabin and on the deck almost feel unreal, and we were so thankful to have our own private place to hang out right on Lake McDonald.

Beautiful home on Lake McDonald **Excellent location**

This property was the perfect location for our family to use as a home base for Glacier National Park. The only only con for us is that the bedroom with 2 single beds in it is actually a sun room turned into bedroom. Char was the perfect host! Communication was top notch! I would 100% stay here again! said, I would 100% stay here again, again, and again.

Great location on Lake McDonald

Our family of 6 (dad, mom, 2 college aged, and 2 high school aged kids) had a fantastic time staying at this cabin despite some rainy days and the park only being partially open. 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. Would highly recommend this cabin and hope to return some time in the future!

Buck List Trip at Lake McDonald

Char was amazing! 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!!

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.
