About this property

Stunning Cabin Bordering Glacier National Park/Flathead River on 9 Acres!!!

This unique property consists of 9 treed acres along the Middle Fork of the Flathead River which borders Glacier National Park. We are located between West Glacier and East Glacier so there is great access to either entrance of Glacier National Park. Relax on the deck during the day and enjoy a fire pit in the evening. A steeper trail down the hill takes you to the river where there is a large beach area and some fantastic fishing holes.
The amenities of the home consist of a fully equipped kitchen stocked with the basics, fireplace, WIFI , gas BBQ, firepit (firewood provided) outdoor table and lawn chairs. If you're looking for a getaway from the crowds, a convenient place to explore Glacier National Park and a beautiful place to stay, look no further.
We are 24 miles from the West Glacier Park Entrance and 35 miles from the East Glacier Park entrance. Another bonus is that on the other side of our property we look directly into Great Bear Wilderness where there are even more trails to explore!
Brand new for 2024 is AC for the cabin as well as a new King size Sealy mattress!!
Our main home is also on the property and we may be there during your stay or it may be rented. The homes are not within eyesight of each other so you will still have lots of privacy**
We may have a on site host next year who is very familiar with Glacier Park. This will be decided in the spring of 2025 and they will be located behind the main home which will not interfere with your views/privacy etc.

****Minimum age requirement for guests at this home is 21 years of age****

*We recently upgraded to Starlink WIFI. All calls are through WIFI calling as there is no cell service in our area so please make sure your phone is set up for WIFI calling prior to arriving!!!

This cabin was fantastic! I hate to say to much about this cabin because everyone would want to stay there. It was perfect for our first trip to GNP. The cabin is about halfway between the west gate and the east gate. It sits on a very quiet lot with no neighbors to disturb your peace. We absolutely love it!

This cabin was perfect! Being "isolated" I was worried that it might be too rustic-So surprised when we opened the door, the cabin is beautiful, modern, CLEAN, (and mouse free-important to me for a "cabin") The location is perfect being about half way between West Glacier entrance and East Glacier. Most traffic goes toward Whitefish, but we went south after leaving the park with hardly any traffic!!! The area around the cabin is perfect for night time camp fires (complete with firewood) and the walk down to your own private view of the river was fabulous!! This property is a winner for VRBO!

Excellent place to experience glacier park!

The house was under one and a half hours from every entrance in Glacier park. It made it very convenient to access all three entrances to the park, which we did. The house itself was an amazing condition, very clean, very secluded, and had everything we needed for our trip. The owners were very responsive, and very helpful throughout our entire stay. Would definitely recommend 100%.

Hidden Treasure

Beautiful little cabin in the woods. Everything we could have asked for in our stay near Glacier NP. House was clean and decorated lovely and homey. Plenty of supplies including bear spray! Great location too central to both sides of the park. Sue was a wonderful host with great communication to make sure our stay was comfortable and fun!

Perfect in every way!

We had the absolute best stay at this beautiful cabin that’s located halfway between the East and West Entrances to Glacier National Park. The cabin is impeccably stocked and decorated to create the perfect spot to relax after a long day at the Park or spend the day down by the river behind the property. The host was fabulous with constant communication and recommendations..Book it today if available!

Relaxing

Very nice Property! We had the property to ourselves for the time we were there. Fire pit outside was Great. Seen a doe in the back yard! The advertised rope stairs to the Flathead river didn't have rope all the way down to the bottom. It could be dangerous. We went down to see the view but decided to not go back down because we felt it was unsafe with the way it was roped. Overall it was one of the best places we have ever stayed. We would definitely go back !!!

Wonderful spot to enjoy Glacier!

Had a fabulous time at this cabin!! Loved that it was easy to launch into the East or West side of the park. The cabin was extremely well-appointed - kitchen was well set up, and the gas stove and mini split AC kept it comfortable inside no matter what the Montana weather decided to do! I will say that the steps down to the river are an adventure - using hiking poles made me more comfortable. Totally worth the trip though!! Would absolutely stay here again!

The cabin has everything you would ever need for a getaway and is located perfectly for access between East and West Glacier NP. Going to the Sun Road was not yet fully opened during our stay so this made it more convenient. The cabin is well stocked, very clean, and Sue is absolutely fantastic and quick to respond to any questions. I highly recommend this cabin and would stay here again.

This lovely property had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The setting is just beautiful and inside the cabin is lovely as well. We had to tear ourselves away to head out for our daily hikes! The view from the living room window is mesmerizing. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Owner is very responsive and helpful 😀.

AMAZING cabin and location to Glacier National Park!!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful cabin and property. Everything was so clean and the cabin was well stocked with dishes, utensils and cooking supplies. We met Leah (one of the owners) when we first arrived and she gave us lots of great Glacier National Park recommendations. The drive to the park was very easy and beautiful from the cabin! We used the fire pit and grill. The last evening we went down to the river by the cabin and fished and had a picnic! Could not recommend this cabin more!! AMAZING location and beautiful property!

Away from it all

This cabin provides great access to Glacier NP (both entrances) as well as peace and quiet. It is a distance from anything substantial so bring your own groceries as there is a lovely kitchen to prepare meals. This is a great getaway and place to unwind. we enjoyed the BBQ, coffee on the patio, and the fun movie selection at night. We did not go down to the river but know this was an amenity. Clean, well equipped and ready for outdoor adventures.

My wife and I were traveling to Glacier National Park for a summer vacation. Everything about our stay here exceeded our expectations.

About the host

Hosted by Sue MacLean

Host profile image
We're from Canada and we bought this property after years of searching for the perfect spot, well we found it!! We come down to Montana a fair bit but decided to share it with others as we can't be down here on a full time basis.

Why they chose this property

I first discovered this spot as a teenager when my dad used to take me rafting on the Middle Fork of the Flathead. There is something magical about this place and if you've ever been to this area I'm sure you would agree. We love to hike, fish and raft in the summer and snowshoe in the winter. This is our year round playground!! The mountains, wildlife and endless activities you can do are at your fingertips.

What makes this property unique

Location location location. You'll find very few properties that are on the Middle Fork of the Flathead which borders Glacier National Park. We are 24 miles from the West Glacier Park Entrance and 35 miles from the East Glacier Park entrance. There area also hundreds of thousands of acres of Great Bear Wilderness directly across the highway so you can pick your playground!!
