The cabin was lovely and well equipped for a week long stay. The space was clean and comfortable and had everything that we needed (3 couples). We traveled into East Glacier each morning with no trouble and exited the West Glacier entrance one day with little traffic. It was a perfect location for day hiking in the park. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

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!

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.
