What a wonderful property. The lodge and room were amazing. Great space with access to walkout balcony. The room was clean and large. Loved the porch and trolley at main office. Especially enjoyed the white water rafting and dinner experience. Addie was the best river guide and cook!!

The lodge is so cute with a comfortable common area for the guests. We enjoyed meeting others who were staying there on the outside deck. They also provide hiker snack bags which came in handy!

The nearness to Glacier National Park was terrific. We were in the park within 5 minutes. The park is amazing. WE only spent one day in the park; we could have spent more days there. The resort is nice. Very quiet and clean. Check in was excellent. Not much around the hotel for restaurants but we made do for a night.

It is a wonderful property. We stayed in the beautiful lodge with a great room downstairs and 12 rooms upstairs and downstairs. Our room was spacious with a door to a deck. The staff is so friendly. Every day we were given “snack bags “ for the day. We stayed five nights and were very comfortable. So were the beds!
We had a wonderful experience at the Great Northern Resort. The staff were wonderful
Very friendly and helpful. The room was great! It was spacious, clean, quiet and convenient to Glacier National Park. A big surprise was the daily goodie bag!
Family owned lodge that shows! We stayed in the lodge and it was so nice. I loved the set up, the deck overlooking the premises (wrap around) and the vaulted ceilings. It was so quiet too. We never heard any of the other guests. The ice machine came in handy, the complimentary snack bags were life saving before hiking and site seeing. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Great Northern Resort. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. The location is perfect, less than 5 min from gate at GNP, which allows for easy access to dining and shopping outside of park. GNR also outfits for river excursions (they are great too)
