Great location and good quality accommodations. The moisture in the cabin was a bit high, but other than that we loved it. Great grill for cooking and plenty of kitchen equipment.

Very enjoyable stay in this cabin. Kitchen was well equipped for anything you need for cooking. Coffee and tea, as well as a good selection of spices were provided. Outside propane BBQ grill was nice to have available. Very convenient location for access to the Apgar west entrance or the Two Medicine lake east entrance to the park. We would definitely stay at the Bear Den again if we come back to Glacier!

Cute cabin. It was just what we needed for our stay. They had maps and recommendations for hikes and things to do and places to eat in a book. Even had bear spray so we didn’t have to buy any.
