Glacier Basecamp Lodge

What guests think

At Glacier Basecamp Lodge, travellers highlight the convenient location near Glacier National Park’s west entrance and surrounding towns, clean and comfortable apartment-style units with well-stocked kitchens, and generally responsive hosts, making it a practical base for park-focused trips.

Many reviews praise spacious layouts, comfortable beds, and handy extras like laundry and a gated property, while an on-site Starbucks is a frequent convenience. Recurring drawbacks include slow or unstable Wi-Fi, weak cell service, some traffic noise in front rooms, and limited onsite staffing that can make arrival or check-in confusing for a few guests. Expect a clean, self-sufficient stay in a very convenient location.

Location to Glacier National Park was great. The size of the apartment was great for 3 of us , three nice sized bedrooms. Large private outdoor porch with Mountain View was awesome. Washer and dryer, and full size kitchen was perfect.

This house was clean and perfect for our needs. It was a quick 15 min drive to Glacier National Park and plenty of stores and restaurants close by. Everything we needed was already at the house. A short drive to White Fish, which was nice. I also liked the gate to the driveway so random people didn’t pull in. Made me feel safer! The beds were also really comfortable!

Stayed in an apartment during our 3 day trip to Glacier. This was perfect for our family. Everyone had a bed and we had plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was amazing! I had not planned on cooking, but will on our next trip. Also loved that Starbucks was in the lobby! Will stay here again on our next trip to Glacier.

Great proximity to West entrance of Glacier. We rented a family apartment and it worked out great! Complementary laundry. Only thing that was bad was frying pans (as is usually the case in a rental- I’m sure it’s hard to keep them up) so I bring my own. Otherwise great rental .

Glacier Basecamp was amazing. We visited Glacier National Park and the proximity was great for daily trips to the park. We had Moose Drool apartment which far exceeded my expectations for the two of us. We had 3 queen beds! It had a fully stocked kitchen, living room, bath with dual shower heads, seperate master bedroom and two additinal queens. It was spacious and just the right coziness for our wilderness adventure vacay. If you have a family and kids this will be perfect. And walking distance to Starbucks is a bonus!! Cannot recommend enough.

The location is close to Glacier National Park. The internet connection was unstable, but the host kindly called me before our trip to let us know a technician could come during our stay to fix the issue. Unfortunately, that would have required us to remain at the house during the visit, which wasn’t possible, so we had to manage with the unstable internet. The house is located directly on the highway, and traffic noise was noticeable when the highway was busy. On the positive side, the kitchen was very well equipped with cookware, dinnerware, and cleaning supplies. Overall, highly recommended.

Rough start, but a nice place to stay. There is no one on property to check you in; they provide a code in a text. It is very important that they have the correct phone number for you. Once we got our code everything ran smoothly. Property looked a little rough on the outside, but it was clean and spacious inside. The 2 story “hotel” portion is now employee housing, so there are residents on that part of the property. There is a Starbucks on site which was a nice way to start our day. If looking for an apartment style place to stay with a full kitchen and separate bedrooms for multiple people this is a great option.

We had a great time here! My only negative was that google maps hsd s hard timr finding it but the directions provided by the host are perfect. I was a bit concerned at first because the property is close to a busy road but the fence and security gate eased all of my worries. Once you are inside, you cant even hear any road noise. The property was clean and comfortable! We had everything we needed - clear instructions, extra linens, comfy beds, clean water, wifi. Would definitely recommend this as a perfect location for those wanting to check out Glacier National Park because you are close enough to both the West entrance and kalispell/whitefish.

Arrived late and could not locate building on property because it was after dark. No one on staff at arrival. Called and texted number used to confirm reservation but got no answer. Had to walk property with flashlight to locate apartment. Took me about 30 minutes determine where i was staying. Very frustrating considering it was late and everyone was tired and ready for showers from hiking. Property manager should have emailed or texted map of property prior to my arrival. Ice maker did not work either. Unit was clean and beds were comfortable.
