Going-to-the-Sun Road
Drive it at sunrise from one mile away — you'll beat the shuttle lines and catch the alpenglow on the ridges.
One mile from Glacier's West Entrance
Modern chalets and a hilltop lodge in West Glacier, Montana
One mile from the gate
A whole chalet beats a hotel room
Modern A-frame chalets with full kitchens, separate bedrooms, and modern interiors — one mile from Glacier National Park's West Entrance, with Glacier Guides bike and raft outfitter just down the road.
Modern, yet rustic
Room for the Whole Family
Updated kitchens, full living rooms, and separate bedrooms — some chalets with lofts, all with room to spread out. Guests routinely tell us the chalets feel newer and cleaner than they expected.
Whole-House Layouts
Separate bedrooms, full living rooms, and dining space — families spread out instead of stacking in one room.
Real, Updated Kitchens
Full-size appliances and the counter space to cook a real dinner after a day in the park.
One Mile to the West Entrance
Five minutes to Apgar, an easy commute to Lake McDonald and Going-to-the-Sun Road.

Glacier Guides handles bike and raft rentals minutes from the chalets.

Inside the Park
Glacier, by the Places You'll Remember
Four named stops that shape a week in the park — all within easy reach of the West Entrance, one mile from the chalets.
Lake McDonald & Apgar
Five minutes from the chalets — coffee in Apgar Village, paddleboards on the lake, and the clearest water in the park.
Trail of the Cedars
An easy boardwalk loop the kids can manage, with the Avalanche Lake spur for anyone who wants more trail.
Highline Trail & Logan Pass
The classic Glacier ridge walk — start at Logan Pass and follow the Garden Wall for views you came here for.
What Guests Say
Close in, and at home
The proximity, the recs, the clean kitchen on arrival; guests keep mentioning the same things in their own words.
Can’t beat the views and close proximity to Glacier National Park. Kitchen was very well equipped too. We were not sure about the small apartment above the garage, but it was not an issue at all. Its entrance and porch was on the opposite side of the main house entrance and outdoor area. Don’t let it concern you.

Beautiful place and area. A little dated, but well taken care of for the most part. Carpets are a bit dingy and dirty feeling under foot. Cleanliness I would give an 8/10. One of the rooms sheets appeared to be dirty so after Lindsey said there is another set in the closet, I did attempt to grab them down to change them, but the wrinkled appearance made me question the cleanliness of them as well. There also was a sock that came down with them, so opted to throw them back up in the closet. Wasn’t super happy about that, but know things happen with laundry.
My only true complaint is the amount of fragrance in the place. From the second you open the door it hits you. Towels, sheets and all. It’s TERRIBLE to the point my pj’s wreaked of it the next night elsewhere. So if you’re sensitive to scents, this is not the place for you.

Great location just outside of Glacier Natl Park. Close as you can get in Montana to the many things to do in the park and nearby. Clean rooms, clean kitchen, very helpful host. Plenty of room for our group of 6. Mostly cooked out meals, but Pizza across the street was great for the night we did not feel like cooking. nice safe parking for 2 cars+

·Jul 2026We had a wonderful stay at Lindsey’s while we visited Glacier National Park. Everything was clean and comfortable. The location is amazing for exploring the park and Lindsey’s recommendation for dinner at the Belton Chalet was amazing. We highly recommend and would stay again!

Best place to stay before you head into West Glacier… a mile from the front gate, beautiful, easy access and very well maintained property. Couldn’t ask for anything more!

·Jul 2026The greatest scenery of any place that I have ever stayed at. The pictures cannot do justice to the sweeping views into Glacier National Park and the surrounding forest and mountain ranges. Super private with acres to run and play but still less than 5 minutes to the park access road. The house itself has exactly what's needed for a comfortable visit from the kitchen to the bedrooms and bathrooms.
