About this property

Cottonwood Cottage -EARLY SEASON SPECIAL Spacious house, yard with Mountain View

Great house in East Glacier with Mountain View - ALL NEW MATTRESSES and newly painted interior TOO. Choose this spacious house to enjoy with family, friends, or have the luxurious space all to yourselves. This extremely comfortable 3 bed/2 bath house in East Glacier Park has a privacy fence, charming gardens and a shade tree creating a welcoming and pleasant place to call home after a day in the park and on the trails. It is an open floor plan living room/kitchen for gathering in the evenings with a bar-b-que and picnic table out front. Share in the pride of sitting atop high peeks, relaxing beside a cool mountain lake, float down a white water river or engage in the culture of the local Blackfeet People, native to this area. East Glacier Park is centered around the spirit of the Rocky Mountain front, the natural wonders offered by Glacier National Park, and around the people who came before us. We personally take pride in the details of offering a fantastic stay in Glacier National Park.

Stay in comfort at this splendid home and share the wonders of the Crown of the Continent while retaining the option to be connected to the 'real world' through WIFI internet and smart TV streaming ability. Charge your EV with the Nema 15-40 outlet (bring your own adapter). This home is centrally located in the small, quaint town of East Glacier Park, Montana. The view of the Rocky Mountain front from the living room and dining area is one that never seizes to impress. The kitchen is fully functional with all utilities, open and bright, including a dining table and plenty of counter space. The living room is furnished with plenty of seating and has a vaulted ceiling making it open and spacious.

There are three bedrooms in the house. The master bedroom features a luxurious king sized bed, matching dresser and bedside tables and a private, two sink bathroom. The second bedroom is warmly furnished with a queen sized sleigh bed, and finally, two cozy twin beds in the third bedroom. If needed there is also a pack and play for tinies.

The porch off the front door is perfect for watching the sun set behind some of East Glacier's most famous peaks including Dancing Lady, CalfRobe, Mt. Henry and Summit peak. The yard is surrounded with privacy fencing and landscaped with beautiful perennials, bulbs and grass.
added to this front yard is a gravel b.b.q. patio with a picnic table and gas grill - perfect for an evening of chatter in the silhouette of the Rocky Mountains. Come enjoy what can only be experienced first hand.

Located on the east side of Glacier National Park where access to wildlife, wildlands and fewer people - a true getaway are simply part of the package. Fly into Kalispell, MT or Great Falls, MT for similar drive times to spectacular East Glacier Park. From here, visit Essex, Two Medicine, Many Glacier, St. Mary, West Glacier and Waterton Internation Peace Park. Planning a day to drive "the loop" is most convenient from this location with no reservation needed for entry via St. Mary or for visiting our closest access to the park - Two Medicine Valley - just 10 minutes from the house.

Comfort and memories are waiting your arrival!

Wonderful house for the east side

The house was very comfortable, well stocked, centrally located for the east side entrances, close to restaurants. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again. (One little thing I appreciated was the abundance of hangers, so many times airbnbs have few or none).

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Gates

Host profile image
I was raised in North Idaho and have lived most of my adult life in Montana. I am an educator of mathematics, physics, English as a second language and most recently a downhill ski instructor. That is until recently when I fell in love with a fisherman. His name, or at least what his friends call him, is Smiles and he is as friendly as I am. So, do please, feel free to contact me for inquiries about rental and about the Glacier Park area.

Why they chose this property

I chose to buy this home while working in the area as a middle school math teacher. The house was not purchased as a rental, but for my own home. While working in the local school district I recognized that people would really enjoy spending time in a comfortable place while on vacation in Glacier National Park. So, I began renting the house on VRBO, living in the back during the summer months. Renting my house to adventurous travelers has allowed me to share the spectacular experience of visiting Glacier National Park.

What makes this property unique

This house and the view from its windows are unique even in the town of East Glacier. The mountain views and fresh air are unmatched outside of the Rocky Mountains and the slower pace to living is beneficial for the soul. Yet, there are so many activities to keep one busy that one is never bored. It is the perfect location for outdoor entertainment and exercise with a slower style of life and always something beautiful to see.
