Lake McDonald Lodge opened its doors on June 14, 1914 and is one of the finest examples of a Swiss Chalet hotel remaining in the United States. Lake McDonald Lodge is a three-and-one-half-story structure built on the eastern shore of glaciated, picturesque Lake McDonald. The lobby is a large, open space and balconies surround the upper portions of the lobby on three sides. The floors of the lobby have incised messages in Blackfeet, Chippewa and Cree that translate into phrases such as "welcome," "new life to those who drink here," "looking toward the mountain," and "big feast."
This northern Lake McDonald location has 100 guest rooms split between a main lodge, a row of duplex-style cabins, and a two-story motor inn. All guestrooms at Lake McDonald are rustic, yet comfortable. In keeping in the era in which all of the rooms were built, they offer guests modest amenities and old-world style accommodations resulting in a one-of-a kind, National Park lodging experience.
Lounging on the lodge’s lakeside veranda with a favorite beverage is a popular leisure activity for guests. While out on the porch, watch visitors fish for lake trout, skip stones, swim and play in the lake, come and go on the historic wooden boat “DeSmet”, photo journal, or just laze around in this incredibly scenic setting. The lodge complex tends to fill up quickly in the summer, so plan on booking early or consider visiting in the spring and fall.
This location presents visitors with a unique gift shop, camp store, Jammer Joe's Grill and Pizzeria, Stockade Lounge, and Russell’s Fireside Dining Room. Red bus tours, boat cruises, evening ranger programs, and numerous other activities are available at this stunning lakeside setting. An ATM is available in the lobby. The main lodge was declared a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 28, 1987.
Main Lodge
Towering cedars and cotton wood trees surround the main lodge. Lodge rooms primarily face this inland rain forest setting with some obstructed views. There is no elevator but the bell staff is available to assist with luggage. Most rooms do not have an accessible exterior balcony. All lodge rooms have a private bathroom and parking is available in the main lot located approximately 100 yards from the lodge. See below on page for in-room amenities.
Duplex Cabins
Located along a tree-lined pathway adjacent to the lodge, there is a row of early 1900’s-era cabins. Most cabin rooms face the forest setting with some obstructed views. Each share a common wall and a few share a small porch. There are no connecting doors between duplex cabin rooms. All cabin rooms have a private bathroom and parking is usually available directly behind or beside the cabin. See below on page for in-room amenities.
Motor Inn
The wooden, two story motel buildings are tucked behind the camp store in the forest approximately 300 yards from the main lodge. There is no elevator or connecting doors between rooms. All inn rooms have a private bathroom and parking is usually available between the two buildings that are parallel to one another. See below on page for in-room amenities.
