Under the Big Sky

We had a wonderful stay! It was a beautiful, clean home with plenty of room for everyone. The beautiful fresh hydrangeas Ruthie placed throughout the house was the perfect touch. Communication with Ruthie was easy and she responded back very quickly. We would highly recommend the Glacier Getaway!

Great Basecamp for Glacier NP

My dad and I stayed here while visiting Glacier NP and really enjoyed the comfortable surroundings. The beds were comfortable, kitchen well appointed, outdoor setting lovely and restful. I would stay here again if I returned to the area.

Exceptional Service

We loved our stay! The owners were easy to get a hold of and provided amazing service. There were a couple of things that need attention, the shower in the Master Bedroom leaked and the oven door does not shut all the way. It still worked but took an hour to preheat and we had to watch the food for timing purposes because it didn’t seal shut. However, the house was very clean, we had everything we needed. Restaurants and grocery stores are nearby and the entrance to West Glacier was super convenient.
