"The location of this place simply can't be beat. Paddle Ridge is located less than a mile from the entrance to Glacier National Park and most other places are 10-25 miles away. In fact, since we stayed there during the busy season, the line to enter the park actually backs up to the entrance to Paddle Ridge in the morning.
We stayed at the lodge and I will say the rooms, while perfectly clean, are about as basic as they come. I did feel like the place was a bit misrepresented online. It is advertised as having a bar and coffee shop/cafe. There is a bar area in the shared area upstairs, but it's not like a bar with a bartender or drinks you can purchase--just a space one would call a bar. Fine, I don't mind buying my own, but it was not what it sounded like. Same with the cafe/coffee shop: it's a Keurig coffee machine.
The Lodge has a full kitchen in the community area of the lodge, but it has no plates, bowls, silverware (plastic or otherwise), etc. The only amenities guests are allowed to use are the Keurig coffee machine, fridge, toaster and microwave. So, I'm not sure what the point of the kitchen is. Basically, it's the same amenities of your average hotel room, but inside full kitchen that you can't use.
Every employee we interacted with was super nice and the views from the lodge were divine every night. Each room has two Adirondack chairs outside the room and each night the guests hang outside their rooms to enjoy the sunset and scenery."
"our room and I assume all the rooms were very very basic small rooms. no closet space, just 8 hooks on the wall. granted its considered a historical site but it could have some modern fixtures and features in the room. staff were very good and most helpful. location was great for access to Glacier NP. the restaurant which is open for dinner i would rank as a 4+."
"Beautiful room and grounds. Can't get a nicer place with air conditioning any closer to Park entrance. It was perfect for pur trip!
No TV.
No in-room coffee maker (just hot water maker and instant tea/coffee) but on-site café opens at 8am. Coffee there is excellent with tons of options.
We were a group of 3 women. Large, clean, lovely bathroom. One of us each night (8-9pm) had a cold shower. Lodge water heater couldn't keep up with all the guests showering simultaneously.
Bed mattresses are firm. Very nice bedding, towels, etc. Classy place overall."
Duck Lake West Shore, Just 15 Minutes from Glacier National Park!
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location for visiting the eastside of Glacier and Waterton Lakes. My husband was unable to do any extreme hiking or horseback riding due to a hip replacement so we took a few 2 mile hikes and 3 lake cruises. Two Medicine, St. Mary's, and Waterton. It was a nice relaxing way to take in the beauty of the parks. We spotted 6 bear on this trip. One in the Two Medicine area and off the side of the road, a momma black bear and 3 cubs side of the road in Waterton and 2 more adults taking a dip in a pond outside of Waterton Village. The weather was perfect for our week there and we loved the tranquility and comfort of our cabin on Duck Lake. Linda and Larry were perfect host!"
"What a treat to stay where you take a few steps from the hotel to the lake and view the mountains and scenery--no need to drive, although there are beautiful sights within driving distance and wonderful hiking trails that allow you to get even closer to the beautiful scenery.
We stayed in a double bed room on the basement/lake floor. Special treat to have a second door with screen door that opened to the lake side of the hotel. This part of the hotel has an elevator for which we were grateful, especially after viewing all the stairs both inside and out. The room was comfortable with fan and even a small desk.
We took the hotel tour offered each afternoon. Our tour guide was interesting and shared much of the history of how the hotel was built, remodeled and remodeled again--had a notebook of pictures that helped understanding of the changes over the years.
We ate in the Ptagmigan Dining Room for breakfast--the breakfast continental breakfast met our needs. Lunch and dinner were enjoyed in the Swiss Lounge. There is also a small store on the lake level of the hotel which sells snacks, drinks and other food options. Staff in all hotel locations were friendly and helpful.
Excellent choice IF you can get a reservation!"
"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."
