Meadow Lake Resort & Condos
Overview
About This Property
Meadow Lake Resort & Condos is a lakeside playground with a championship golf course, a full-service spa, pools, and kid-friendly programs. It’s not cheap, but the on-site amenities and Glacier National Park access make the price feel earned. Peak season can push nightly rates to 663 a night in July, so plan ahead. We chase quality, not bargain-basement thrills.
Your Morning Game Plan
Coffee is available in-room; it's a short drive to decent coffee in Columbia Falls. 23.9 miles to the park entrance, about 25-30 minutes by car. Leave early (6:30–7:00 AM) to beat crowds and start the day with full park access.

Property History
The Honest Truth
Not a bargain stay, but a legit resort experience. Clean, comfortable rooms, golf, spa, and pools justify the price if you want a Glacier NP base with on-site activities. Fees stack up (resort fee, cleaning fees, and deposit), but you get year-round access and a range of amenities. If you want a family-friendly, activity-rich getaway near the park, this delivers.
Who Should Skip This
This property is not suitable for guests who need a pet-friendly option or for those seeking a very quiet, secluded retreat.
Booking Insider Tip
• Book 6 months in advance for peak season. • Request a golf course or mountain view. • Be aware of a $15 daily resort fee and cleaning fees by unit. • Condominiums have a 2-night minimum; cancellation penalties apply.
What Guests Say
A strong family- and golfer-friendly resort with lake views and abundant on-site activities. The spread of amenities plus Glacier National Park proximity makes it a solid pick, though the price tag and potential noise require advance planning.
