We appreciated the history, architecture, and overall atmosphere of the hotel. However, we were…read moredisappointed to pay such a premium for a very small room with an inferior view. I would not recommend booking the Honeymoon Suite. When we made our reservation, it was the only room available, so we took it. Having now seen the hotel in person, the price is very difficult to justify. The room itself is tiny, which we expected in a historic building and didn't mind. The issue is that it costs significantly more because it's described as having the best view. In reality, it's tucked around the side of the building. You can see the mountains, but the less expensive front-facing rooms actually have a much better view. The listing also advertises a private balcony. Technically there is a balcony, but it is shared with the neighboring room, and the other guests clearly weren't happy to have to share the space. Their dirty laundry was unlovely, hung to dry alongside the slim view. Also, do not dine here. If you're considering staying here, I'd recommend booking one of the standard front-facing rooms instead. Based on our experience, I would not recommend paying extra for the Honeymoon Suite.

It's off a highway so noisy despite the pictures, it is dirty, staff lack customer service skills. Efforts to have the place cleaned were ignored. Management was non responsive.

I had been meaning to write this review for a couple months now. We stayed here in June of 2026…read more Had a room on the second floor. Everything from start to finish was simply exquisite. Brian (part of the staff) greeted us on Day 1, and he was there just about all of the time. He was extremely, extremely helpful. And extremely, extremely nice. Service like this goes a long way. Some special notes which made this place way, way above your typical hotel stay (as compared to mainstream brands like Hilton or Marriot).. The room(s) were impeccable with detail. Everything from the chairs outside of the rooms, the towels, folding the beds/pillows etc... You could tell they put a custom touch on. The breakfast was nothing short of delicious staring with the coffee, which was excellent quality coffee. Not farmer bros or max house, this stuff was top tier. (I am a coffee snob and do strictly pour overs only at home). Breakfast burritos were delicious. And the huckleberry jam and bread was excellent. You get a REAL breakfast here. Great location, you can walk down the hill, there is a nice place to eat nearby (Belton chalet). It is very peaceful. The air is so clean you can smell it. 100% highest and strongest endorsement.

It is close to the West park entrance. Best of all is how Brian runs this lodge, from attention to detail of amenities, cleanliness, yummy breakfast burritos and yogurt bowls for breakfast. Our bag lunch we ordered and Brian made was so nice to have on our day drive the next day. This place is quaint, quiet and so nice to come back to after an adventurous day. We stayed in room #5 on the 1st floor. We loved it. Has a refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker (tea and coffee) Nice roomy bathroom, two queen beds in a spacious room with a patio off the back as well as Adirondack chairs in the front. A common sitting area is close by our room too and near the lobby. Thank you Brian!! Kevin and Colleen

The owners were attentive and made fabulous Huckleberry Pancakes, along with other hot breakfast items.The coffee pot and mini fridge in the room were perfect for early mornings and keeping snacks cold. I would highly recommend to anyone staying in the West Glacier area. My only suggestion is to limit pool table hours to 10 or 11pm when people are staying in the lower room. We had someone playing pool outside our room for 6-7 hours straight every night, until past midnight.

Though the accommodations are nice and the location is close to the West Entrance of Glacier…read moreNational Park, the new owners are not hospitable people and seem a bit unhinged.... For example, we arrived late one evening from Glacier Park, around 9:00 pm, and I was planning to make some spaghetti for a later dinner for my two kids. When I looked for a pot to boil the noodles, however, I couldn't find one, and then I saw the sign by the phone in the cabin that read "If you need anything," to call their service number. When I called the number, there was no answer, and since I had stayed at the Great Bear Inn before, I walked over to the main building, which was always open for guests, to find someone to help. When I found the place quiet and the manager's office closed, however, I went into the public kitchen area and took a pot, walked back to my cabin, and made the spaghetti. After my family ate the food, I washed and cleaned the pot and returned it to the kitchen. The following day I called the landlady, named "Bunny," and asked what I needed to do to check out the following day. When she asked me why I had called the previous night, I explained I needed to borrow a pot to cook spaghetti, but after I tried calling and then walked over to the office and found no one to help, I borrowed one from the public kitchen area, used it to boil the noodles, and after eating, I had cleaned the pot and promptly returned it to the kitchen. Bunny was irate and scolded me for doing this, insinuating that I had broken some sort of unpublished rule that the kitchen was off limits to guests. When I objected and said that I had both called and walked to the office for help, she was became rude to me, saying that she had an early bedtime schedule and could not be bothered after 9:00 pm. When I expressed my dissatisfaction at this blatant disregard of the customer's need, she became hostile, and when I told her that I had paid over $1500 to stay in the supposedly furnished cabin for three nights and therefore had a reasonable expectation to have the place furnished as was stated in the advertisement. When Bunny insisted that the pot I had needed was included in the kitchen area, I looked once again and finally found it -- but it was stored behind a wooden panel that was stuck due to poor maintenance of the property. When I explained this to her she was entirely unsympathetic and cold toward me... I have no ill-will toward Bunny and her husband Larry who manage the new version of the "Great Bear Inn." I had stayed at the resort twice before in previous years and under the former management my experience then was happy and the service was excellent. However I can no longer recommend the Great Bear Inn because the new management apparently has no idea of what decent customer service means. Let me close by saying that on the day of our departure, Larry, the husband of Bunny, aggressively came to the cabin and pounded on the door telling us to get out because it was almost 11:00 AM. At the time I was washing dishes we used there because there was a sign posted that said that all residents must wash the dishes before leaving, but Larry told me to just forget it and get out... He and Bunny then sat in their noisy ATV jeep in front of cabin until we finished packing the car and we drove off.... Disgraceful and childish behavior, to say the least, and I will NEVER stay at the Great Bear Inn again. For these and other reasons, not the least being the $500 per night price for staying there, I EMPHATICALLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THE GREAT BEAR INN.

Veggies were well-cooked, hash browns were crispy, but the French toast... OMG.. perfection. The next visit, we tried the huckleberry pancake, which was also good, but tasted a bit of premade pancake mix. It was also $5! Yikes. They should really offer sides of French toast. That would be worth the $5. The huckleberry pie and razzleberry pie were only ok (razzle was better), but the crust was poor (over-hard, bland, thick). But would come back for breakfast any time! (Just would be sure to make sure I've got some cash in the bank!)

Realistically, I paid a lot of money to stay in a room. There are really no perks. You have to walk to the restaurant for coffee, food etc but it's not included. It's in a beautiful setting and it's close to the west entrance of the park. There are a couple of restaurants (and bars) nearby. I'd suggest Glacier International Hotel. It's only like 35 minutes from west entrance of the park. It's a better value as it includes breakfast.

I arrived super early and went to check in knowing there was a big probability I wouldn't be able to get into my room yet. Fortunately, the lady was super accommodating and checked me into a room that was ready. The room is super tiny but it was all I needed since I spent most of my time out exploring. The room was clean and furnished properly and had all the items I could possibly need. The bathroom and shower were small but clean and all of your towels and linens are provided. This location is extremely convenient and legit a 30 second walk from Lake McDonald. The views are spectacular. Each room had a designated parking spot right out front. That was great because I did come and go several times from restaurants and hiking. Due to COVID they are not coming into your room each day to clean but will happily provide you any additional items upon request. I only stayed for two nights so I did not have to request anything. I sent out a few post cards during my stay and the front desk was able to mail them out for me. You are in walking distance to several shops, Eddie's Cafe, water sport rentals and several hiking trails. The price was very reasonable when I booked. I can't wait until the day I can go back again!

Disappointed by hidden fees despite buying the protection plan…read more I am highly disappointed with my booking experience here. I explicitly purchased their extended protection plan to ensure I would be covered if my plans changed. However, when I had to cancel my booking, they still charged me a $30 cancellation fee. Charging an extra penalty fee completely defeats the purpose of buying a protection plan in the first place. This feels incredibly misleading and like a cash grab. Make sure you read the fine print carefully before giving them your business, as their "protection" does not actually protect you from being charged. I will not be booking here again.

Honestly, this was the nicest place we stayed during our vacation out west, and we would love to come back for a week. The cabin was well-provisioned with everything you need, including a fridge, microwave, and TV/DVD (in case it rains?). The cabin was clean and very comfortable, and even romantic. The only drawback for us was that the weather was extremely unseasonably warm, and it took the log cabin a long time to cool down at night (it was in the high 90s and there is no AC). But the ceiling fan did help. Breakfast was delicious. The owner was very friendly and happy to give advice about things to see and do both inside and outside of the park. And the grounds are immaculate. If you want a nice place to stay where you can avoid the noise and crowds, I highly recommend staying here.
