Beautiful Location
Nestled within the trees, the view from this home is beautiful. Great location, central, but private. Proximity to Glacier National Park enabled us to visit multiple times, as well quick trips to Kalispell and Whitefish.

Next Door to Glacier National Park
Cozy but not cramped house in the woods. Right across the road from the entrance to Glacier National Park. Very convenient. Very clean. The king bed is in a loft and the full bath is downstairs. Nice gas stove in the sitting room. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome, cozy, comfortable
This is our second time staying here and it did not disappoint. All the comforts of home were furnished by Jeff and Kelly. This place is private and secluded. Just a driver and a 9 iron to the entrance of GNP which makes it such a convenient location. We traveled to the East side and found there is nothing comparable. I would highly recommend this property. Plus there is bear spray supplied by the hosts.

Wonderful location
The property was a great fit for four adults. The book of information about the property was clear and easily understood. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for meal preparation. We highly recommend this property.

So close to Glacier NP entrance
The location of this property is so perfect if you want to visit Glacier NP. But the property itself is so well laid out and comfy! Nice to have a washer and dryer and cooler with ice packs to use. The deck and vaulted ceiling were also amazing! Hope to return to this property someday! Thank you for letting us stay!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Kelly Fear

Host profile image
My family has been blessed to live in Columbia Falls, Montana since 2008. It has been an amazing place to raise a family of five. We cannot think of a better place enjoy the outdoors. If we are not rafting the rivers and paddle boarding the lakes you will find us whipping up some special cuisine in our kitchen.

We enjoy offering a variety of vacation rentals to travelers whether they want to be off the grid in Polebridge , at the West Glacier Entrance or a home on Flathead River.

In 2014 we restored a log cabin vacation rental in Polebridge, MT(#567330) We have enjoyed providing guests with memorable vacations

In 2017 we added River View Retreat riverfront property in Columbia Falls, MT (#959175) for customers who want to accommodate up to 8 guests.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful, private, getaway cabin is conveniently located in the quaint village of West Glacier the gateway to Glacier National Park.
It is close enough to all the action, yet secluded by larch, fir and birch trees with summertime beargrass, wild roses and huckleberries.
The view of Montana Mountains from wall of windows brings the outdoors inside.

What makes this property unique

The benefit of this property is the location. When you arrive at Glacier Ridge Resort you are done traveling and you can start enjoying your vacation right away!
