About this house rental
Why Choose West Glacier Bear Cabin?
When you’re ready to come to the crown jewel of the continent, why not stay inside the park? At West Glacier Bear Cabin, you can walk to Lake McDonald with your morning cup of coffee or take an after dinner stroll across the street for ice cream, saunter a short distance to a hiking trail, or read a book at McDonald Creek while the water makes quiet music for you.
Located on the Edge of the Wilderness
Imagine waking up and having 1,000,000 acres of Glacier National Park in your backyard. It doesn’t get any better than staying in Apgar Village and Lake McDonald.
West Glacier Bear Cabin
Your days away from the hustle and bustle of daily life will begin and end in a cozy single story, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom (and 1 sofa sleeper) cottage with all the amenities, settings and extras to ensure your stay here becomes an experience you’ll treasure.
Our rustic setting and furnishings will welcome you home after a long day of kayaking Lake McDonald or on the trails. A fully furnished kitchen will let you cook up a delicious dinner or take a 2 minute walk into Apgar and let the expert cooks at the cafe do the work for you.
When you stay at Glacier Bear Cabin, not only do you get the experience of staying INSIDE Glacier National Park but you get a few perks as well.
E-Bikes And Mountain Bikes
Rather than scheduling time and paying to rent bikes, we have 4 e-bikes with helmets on-site so you can use them anytime it fits your schedule. You can explore Glacier National Park all day long if you’d like. Or, maybe you want to take leisurely bike ride after dinner then stop for some creamy delicious Huckleberry ice cream at Eddie’s Cafe. (Use of Bicycles is weather permitting)
Kayaks and Paddle Boards
There's no need to schedule and pay extra to rent kayaks or paddle boards. When you stay at Glacier Bear Cabin, we have 3 kayaks and 2 paddle boards on-site so you can use anytime it fits your schedule. Want to take a quick paddle before lunch, just grab a paddle board and head to the lake. There is no need to reserve! You go whenever the water is calling you. (Second Sunday in May thru October 31st for Lake McDonald per National Park Service Rules)
Ideal Location
We are located within short walking distance to a little dining, a little gift shop, some ice cream, hiking and biking trails and Lake McDonald or McDonald Creek.
Glacier Bear Cabin is Located:
40 minutes from Glacier International Airport
30 minutes to Whitefish, MT
0 minutes to Glacier National Park
0 minutes to Lake McDonald
0 minutes to hiking trails….
Need We Say More?
If that isn't enough, very few properties inside the park have air conditioning for those hot nights. New e-bikes and kayaks were added in 2025. Star Link internet was installed to give our guests high speed internet for any work you need to bring with you or to simply stream your favorite media on the smart TV in our living room.

Very cute, cozy cabin in the perfect location! Would absolutely rent again if ever in this area.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Delightful cabin in the best possible location. We loved the eBikes. The hosts provided an online guest guide plus a whole notebook of helpful info and tips about the area and activities. The cabin is comfortable and inviting. The hosts have thought of every detail for a perfect stay.

Beautiful location
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
This is a wonderful place to stay when visiting Glacier. The cabin was very clean when we arrived and provided all of the amenities we needed for our stay. The location in Apgar Village is perfect. The best thing about the cabin is that it is a two minute walk to the coffee shop and one of the best views in the park, Lake McDonald! It's also on the west side so not far from Columbia Falls, Whitefish and Kalispell.Don also provides an app you can download to your phone with all the information about the cabin and plenty of information about the area and a guide for visiting the park. Highly recommend staying here on a visit to Glacier!
