Walsh Cottage on the shores of Lake McDonald

Have every thing I need. Quiet and comfortable.

Our cozy cabin exceeded all expectations. It was larger than we expected, and there were a number of luxuries we didn’t expect in such a rustic setting, such as the plush bath towels and feather duvet. The bed was VERY comfortable. Everything we could possibly need for our stay was there. And the setting, right on Lake McDonald was exceptional. We enjoyed mornings and evenings amongst the smooth, multi-colored rocks for which the lake is famous. During the days, we used the park’s shuttles to see as much of Glacier as we could. Will definitely return to this cottage. Such a treat to stay in a privately-owned residence.

Wonderful cabin in GNP

Perfect location for adventures.

Quaint room and location. Lovely stay! Thank you for a great visit!

This cabin is charming, historic, comfortable, and convenient to the park and the lake. We had a medical emergency which caused us to miss our first night and to not get in the second day until around midnight. We had only 1 day to explore there. As it turns out this was the perfect location. We explored and ate at the lodge that day. And that night we walked the short distance down to the lake and watched the sunset. We are maybe the only people who will get in at midnight, but for others who may get in after dark in a certified dark sky area, it would be more helpful, I think to say in the directions to turn onto the dirt road immediately after the green sign. Thank you for a lovely, if brief experience.

We had a marvelous stay at the Walsh Cottage. It was perfect for a couple, had all the essentials, a comfortable king bed and bright clean bathroom. Exactly as described. We wandered on Lake McDonald beach and enjoyed the views, hiked from the property up McDonald Creek to the waterfalls and over to John's Lake. Great picture window! A super little cottage. Five stars!

Great location for a few days in Glacier. Off the beaten path, yet right in the middle of it all.

It was fine. Very remote no tv which was fine we were busy. Description said there would be bear spray and there was not any - truly my only complaint

Adorable cabin right on Lake McDonald. Pictures do not do it justice!

This is a lovely 1947 time-capsule of a cabin sitting just a few yards from the north banks of McDonald Lake. The bed was large and the perfect blend of supportive but soft. The nights were quiet and the drive to activities in the morning was short. The cabin was equipped with everything that we could need - great shampoo, soaps, conditioner; kitchen plates/bowls/silverware; 2 bear sprays, a flashlight... you name it, it was there. We felt both at home and like we were visiting a luxury spa all at the same time.I am definitely recommending this spot to my friends.

The outside of this cabin is modest, but inside it's spotless, cozy, and stocked with thoughtful amenities. We appreciated the bear spray provided, along with coffee, a microwave, and a fridge—everything we needed for our stay. It rained much of the time we were there, and when it cleared up, the mosquitoes came out, so come prepared! Since we packed for unpredictable weather, space was a bit tight inside the single-room cabin, with limited spots to hang or store gear.The location is fantastic—right on the east shore of Lake McDonald, offering lake access and beautiful views. It was the perfect base for exploring Going-to-the-Sun Road without needing to worry about timed entry from the west side. Very convenient for early starts!Christie was wonderfully responsive and helpful throughout. The only hiccup was with the direct property charge (separate from the VRBO booking), which had a card issue. With limited cell service, that was a little stressful, but once I connected with Christie, she handled it quickly and kindly. Overall, a great stay in a peaceful, scenic spot.

Great cabin inside the park.
