Beautiful house outside of Glacier Park

This is a great place to stay! Excellent location right off Highway 2 with close access to either of the main park entrances. It is clean, well furnished, has lots of room, and a great yard. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we had even more time!

“Perfect location” is not hyperbole - this was an amazing retreat and home base for an week exploring Glacier National Park. Our family of seven (2 grandsons, 2 adult daughters, 1 son-in-law, and the 2 of us) had plenty of room for privacy and time together. Kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals at home or to take with us on day trips. Fire pit with lots of firewood, Blackstone grill on the deck, and full-size washer & dryer were extra nice features. You will be blown away by this clean, comfortable, and peaceful place to call home for a few days.

Rainy weather but still fabulous

It rained, a lot, during our stay but we still had a great time with our grandsons because the house was wonderful. We played a lot of card games that we brought with us, and several of the games that were there. We had space to spread out or be together. We had one night when we were able to enjoy a fire. We had 1 day of beautiful hiking to Avalanche Lake, 1 day of scenic rafting ( chilly but gorgeous), enjoyed local restaurants and shopped in Whitefish on a rainy day. We would definitely stay here again. The house was super clean, well stocked and in a perfect location.

Great House and Great Location

A beautiful house in a beautiful location. Plenty of space for everyone, well stocked kitchen if making your own meals, and a great quiet spot if you have spent a busy day in the park. The owner's communication was great with directions and grocery stores. When going to Glacier National Park you must see each side of the park and so this is thr perfect to stay to do that.

GNP family getaway

Spacious, clean, well stocked cabin. Rustic interior that adds to the “Montana” experience. Convenient to both east and west entrances of GNP. We also explored Kalispell and took a boat tour of Flathead Lake. Getting around is convenient with the Montana state highway system. We had and awesome week.

Great Family Space

The cabin was well furnished, clean and comfortable. We (family of 7 adults) gathered around the firepit every evening after hiking and enjoyed the cool nights. The cabin is perfectly situated between west and east Glacier NP, offering options for everyone. We would certainly stay here again if we are come back to GNP!
