Planning advice

Review Summary
Budget-friendly base near Glacier with simple rooms and rental options. Wifi is modest, some highway noise, and no on-site dining, but the price-to-location value hits. A solid choice for families and explorers who don’t chase luxury.
The Honest Truth
It’s not fancy. A 1931 motel with straightforward rooms and cabins. Wifi is basic, so don’t count on streaming. Some rooms face a highway, so bring earplugs if you’re sensitive to road noise. For budget Glacier access, it’s a solid deal—just manage expectations.
Room Insider Tips
Motel rooms include Room #6, #7 and several cabins; Cedar Canyon and The Ponderosa are separate vacation rentals with larger layouts and a $200 cleaning fee. Parking is per-room; check-in is 3–7 PM.
Pro Tip Booking
  • Book direct at evergreenmotelglacier.com or call (406) 387-5365.
  • Cedar Canyon and The Ponderosa incur a $200 cleaning fee and a 3-night minimum.
  • Peak-season requires early booking.
  • Request back-building units to minimize highway noise.
Your Morning Game Plan
Coffee in-room makes sense; the main cafe scene is a short ride away. You’re about 18 minutes from the West Glacier entrance. Leave by 6:30 AM to beat the crowds and own the day.
Best Time To Visit
June 1 – July 31 (potential bargains); fall shoulder season is quieter.
Pro Tips
  • Parking is free self-parking; one space per room. Oversized vehicles offsite on the street.
  • Pets: no pets allowed. Service animals permitted with Service Animal Registration Photo ID Card.
  • Cedar Canyon and The Ponderosa have a $200 cleaning fee per stay.
  • Cancellation: non-refundable first-night deposit. Cancellations >14 days before arrival are refundable. Cancellations within 14 days are charged in full. 7-day change/cancel policy; shortening a stay within 7 days incurs charges for all original nights. Shortening more than 7 days prior incurs 25% per night.
