Village Inn At Apgar - Inside the Park

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."

"The location was perfect! Especially since parking in the area is at a premium, it's nice to have your own private parking spot. Everything was clean and the communication with the owner was easy; they were very quick to respond to any questions I had. Glacier is amazing and we will definitely be staying here again!"

New! Lake McDonald Townhome. In Glacier National Park!

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful Townhouse in an amazing location inside of Glacier National Park (literally a two minute walk to Eddie’s Caffe / main group of shops / rentals and another two minute walk to the shoreline of Lake McDonald - beautiful!!). Full kitchen was perfect to make elegant dinners while the open floor plan kept everyone together while meals were prepared. The Starlink connection was excessively beneficial in connecting to update maps, plans and routing (no cell service within the Park). The two bedrooms (upstairs) were extremely comfortable and each had their own AC / Heating units as well as their own private bathroom. The on property Tesla charger was the primary reason we chose this property over others - access to the charger was always available each night of our stay (3) and provided the ability to explore the entire park and surrounding towns in our Tesla without worry (closest Tesla Supercharger is in Kalispell - about 45 minutes to an hour (one way) away - so access to a Tesla charger on-site was not mandatory, but pretty close).Check-in had a small glitch - there is only a key lock box visible with an entry code at the unit, but our code did not work on the lock box. The Host was quick to provide a code that did work on the key lock box so we could enter and secure the unit. What we discovered (by complete accident) on day 2 was the deadbolt of the door has a touch keypad that ONLY lights up/activates when you touch a certain spot - our original code worked on that."
