Reservation info

Our 2024 summer is off to a great start! We are once again overwhelmed by the enthusiasm for these ol' chalets. There have been some common questions turning up, so here is some info to help you out:

Now that your request is in queue, expect an Email within the week, either yay or nay. We personally review all the requests and it is going to take several days to work through the backlog.

We will begin updating the availability calendar periodically. This is mostly to give everyone a sense of our progress. Until we get caught up any availability shown is not accurate.

If we award a reservation you will have two weeks to make the deposit payment. If we can not, I am sorry. We know that there are far more people that want to join us than we are able to host.

For those of you already planning the hunt for openings from cancellations and change, good luck. No, we do not know when that will happen. Yes, I am positive that the strategy you have come up with is the best one. The only advice is patience and persistence.

Thanks for your enthusiasm!

Tips for 2024

Our 2024 reservations open on Monday, January 8 at 08:00 am, Mountain time zone.

The best, easiest, fastest, most recommended way to request a reservation is here on this website. You will find the link on the reservations page.

We will ask you for your name and contact information as well as your party arrangement and options for stay dates. We recommended giving us as wide a range of possible dates as your travel plans allow for the greatest chance of success.

The process is first come first served; so being prompt will help. Do not bother wasting your time or your bandwidth on trying to connect with every last one of your devices, nor on multiple submissions. One request is sufficient. You should only submit multiple requests if you would like more than one reservation.

You may phone your reservation to us if you would like to try that way. The phone line tends to be busy and all we can do by phone is type your information into this website on your behalf.

We regret that these small hotels do not have the capacity to host everyone that wishes to join us. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through the volume of reservation requests.

Granite Park Chalet Information:

Granite Park Chalet was built in 1914 and 1915 by the Great Northern Railway to provide comfortable back country accommodations inside Glacier National Park. It was the last of the chalets built by the railroad and one of the only two back country chalets that have survived. Today this rustic lodge is listed as a National Historic Landmark and it continues to provide comfortable lodging to adventurers and visitors in the Glacier National Park wilderness.

Don't Forget:


Camping in the Granite Park Area:

For those who wish to camp out, the Granite Park campground is administered by the National Park Service. For information on back country camping permits in Glacier, see Glacier National Park's Back country Camping Guide.


Weather:

The weather in Glacier is very temperate, but temperamental. The temperature in July and August varies from 29 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit at chalet elevations (6500+feet). The evenings are usually cool and the buildings are not heated, so you'll need warm clothing for evening use. Sudden rain squalls or thunderstorms can occur, so rain gear should always be carried. Comfortable, appropriate footwear and good socks for mountain hiking, are recommended. Sore, blistered feet and cold, wet bodies are the biggest fun killers that can be encountered.
