Montana is called the Last Best Place for a reason — we love preserving our history. And you’ve ever seen the Lake McDonald Lodge at Glacier National Park, you’ll see a beautiful little piece of our past. This lodge is over 100 years old, and it’s still going strong.

Lake McDonald Lodge is located at 288 Lake McDonald Lodge Loop Road, on the shores of Glacier National Park's most iconic bodies of water.

This beautiful lodge was built in 1913, although back then, it was known as Lewis Glacier Hotel.

John Lewis, a land speculator from Columbia Falls, built it in a Swiss Chalet style. The hotel opened in June of 1914.
The property has been renovated many times, but it still has the beautiful Chalet style structure.
