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.
Outfitter Down the Road
Glacier Guides handles bike and raft rentals minutes from the chalets.
The portfolio
The chalets, the lodge, and the apartment
Snowmoon Ranch sleeps 9 on 20 hilltop acres. Chalets sleep 4–6 in modern A-frames. Glacier Hideaway sleeps 2–4 with Lake McDonald views.
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.
So convenient to have a washer and dryer for the halfway point of our vacation! Very conveniently located close to West Glacier entrance. Host was extremely helpful in recommending things to do and places to eat.

Going to the Sun Chalet was a great location to explore Glacier National Park, only a few minutes from the West entrance. The views from the front desk were also spectacular. The chalet was clean, comfortable and well stocked.

Stayed September 21-24. The location was perfect. The view was impeccable and perfect. Was able to hike Iceberg cracker lake, avalanche lake and we drove to flat head and hiked swan river. The house was perfect. The host Linsey was always available but we truly did not need anything. Beds were comfy. We will definitely return when able. Got more hiking goals to do! Even at 55 I was able to push through! Thanks for a trip of a lifetime.

Had a wonderful stay here in September.
The place is absolutely gorgeous. It has beautiful views of the mountains from the living room and the bedroom. The place was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for our stay.
It was very thoughtfully furnished. There was a folder with guidance about everything in the unit. It also had information about trails, eating places, activities etc. Loved the small library with books and park maps and guide books.
It's located very close to the West entrance of GNP.
The host was friendly & responsive and provided clear instructions as well as guidance about the park and the neighborhood well in advance of our check-in date, which was very useful in planning our trip.
We would love to stay here again on our next visit to GNP !!

·Sep 2026This property was the perfect place to stay for our 4 days at Glacier National Park. It only took a few minutes to get to the entrance of Glacier, and the views from the Chalet were beautiful. The Chalet was clean, modern, and had everything we needed. It was especially nice being able to do laundry. Our host did a great job of communicating and sent a lot of information about things to do in the area. We’ll definitely stay here if we visit Glacier again.
