Top Lake McDonald Hotel Reviews

Paddle Ridge

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and comfortable. There was no coffee in the room but we discovered later that there was a full kitchen in a common area with free coffee, use of refridgerator, microwave, stove/oven, TV, etc."

Apgar Lookout Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. My only recommendation would be a little better instructions on how to find the place. We showed up at night and luckily there was someone there to instruct us but it's a little difficult to figure out if you've never been there before. Other than that everything was ideal. It's an absolutely beautiful place and the location is perfect."

Village Inn At Apgar - Inside the Park

10/10 Excellent

"Apgar has a casual, almost campground feel to it that I really loved. The lake and the views were breathtaking. We had plenty of room to sleep all 5 of us—our only issue was 1 bathroom and little space to get ready for the day. There were a couple of days that were rather warm reaching 90 degree temps but mornings and evenings were cool enough that the room was okay for sleeping without AC. We had 1 hiccup where we returned to our room after a day of hiking and none of our key cards worked. We were traveling with 2 other families and the same was true for them. But the staff were on it and immediately fixed the issue. If able, bring a camp/beach chair or picnic blanket for the beach area and definitely water shoes or sandals. The beach/lake bed is stone/rock."

Lake McDonald Lodge - Inside the Park

10/10 Excellent

"We love to visit NP lodges and Lake McDonald lodge did not disappoint. The staff from check-in to check-out were friendly, very helpful and always listening for ways to make our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. We ate onsite at the Fireside Dining Room and Lucke's Lounge--food cooked to our request, service consistent, and prices reasonable considering location. The lobby is inviting with the beautiful lantern lights, the fireplace with etched stone and a variety of comfortable seating. And most important, the views inside the lodge and outside are outstanding. Our accommodation was a small cabin and we enjoyed looking out our door and seeing a path to the lake. We took the Western Alpine Red Bus tour which is a great way to see the western side of Going To The Sun Road without driving. Jammer Bill provided humor and fun as he shared the history of the road."
