Now, you must know that the place reminded me of the Brady Bunch- think of that era- the decor was spot on and the room smelled like a church. The second floor room had two beds, a table and a bathroom with a tub. All of the rooms had chairs in front so you could watch all of the activity on the lake. Note that the shore was Rocky, not sandy.

Amazing intro to GNP

The kitchen was a great feature for prepping food for the rest of our road trip (boiling eggs, etc). Room was very comfortable and clean. The coffee maker was a disappointment - really no different from the old school single serve coffee makers in motels, produced possibly the world's weakest cup of coffee.
Pictures don't lie, the view is a million dollars. You will not have much privacy (at least on the ground floor) during the day, since each room has a large picture window looking out on the lake, and the lakefront is popular as a swimming beach, so you may have large groups of people 30 feet from your window. So maybe don't book your honeymoon here ;-) However, we hardly had any noise at all from the adjoining rooms; the sound insulation was good. We loved it, lying in bed looking at the lake and the mountains, eating dinner in the chairs outside the door, watching the light constantly changing on the mountains and the water. We got to see a storm over the lake on our first night. Parking right next to the back door was a nice feature, too.
Beds were comfortable, nice linens, and room was clean.
It was expensive, but 100% worth it. Loved our stay.

Location and views

You are within walking distance of everything the tiny village of Apgar has to offer from shops, kayak/boat rentals and eateries. The Inn is old with no AC but it was clean and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. If you want modern luxury, great Wi-Fi and a bit of seclusion, I would look elsewhere. If you want great views at a rustic waterfront inn, you can't beat it.

We loved the fresh flowers, being RIGHT on the water, coffee available in the morning, pleasant staff and parking right outside our door. We had a first floor room with a queen bed. The furnishings looked brand new and we enjoyed the 50’s/60’s vibe. There was space under the window to put our suitcase on the rack so it was out of the way. There were many waterproof flat surfaces for our “stuff”—we were there three days and never tired of the comfort and ambiance. Bed and pillows were comfortable, loved having two chairs inside and out. We did not need heat and kept our curtains closed during the day to keep out the heat, and opening the window was comfortable. I imagine that on a hot summer day it would be a challenge to cool down the room with only one small window (not sure if the transom over the door would work). Wi-Fi was excellent and loved walking right into town. We didn’t, but you could walk to the Visitors Center. We did not get out on the lake, but it was nice to have that opportunity.

Expensive but rundown

Published Date: Sep, 9, 2024 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2024 Rating: 2 On the shore of Lake McDonald this vintage inn has seen better days. The smell upon entering is overpowering similar to an old
attic. The beds looked nice however they are cheap and lopsided. Many bugs in the room so if you are used to camping it might be ok but for over $350 per night I would pass.
