Best Things Nearby:
Glacier National Park, The Going to the Sun Highway, Lake McDonald, Big Mountain, the towns of Big Fork and Whitefish.

Best Things About the Resort:
The golf course! Great apartments with a wonderful club facility hosting happy hours, golf events and much more.

Resort Experience:
Meadow Lake is a great facility with spacious apartments. You can spend weeks in the area simply going into Glacier National Park everyday. We visited more than once and hiked to Saint Mary's Falls and Virginia Falls after having to drive around and go into the East side entrance because of the Robert Fire and Trapper Creek Fire at West Glacier. We made it to Logan Pass for more hiking as well.

We got back to the resort each day with enough time for late afternoon golfing. My husband participated in a resort sponsored golf event and his team won. The happy hour afterwards was enjoyable meeting folks from all over the place including Canada.

We took the family up the lift on Big Mountain and hiked down. We visited Big Fork to check out all the shops. One highlight was being in town at the same time as the Northwest Montana Fair featuring the Rodeo with bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronco riding and bull riding. A highlight for us city folks!
