About this property

Take the road less traveled. A short distance on a winding, dirt road through the woods will take you to this quiet, secluded destination. This little get-away is nestled in the heart of the woods, yet is only 10 miles from West Glacier, Montana - the entrance to Glacier National Park.

The Flathead River here in northwest Montana is designated as a “Wild and Scenic River” and includes the North Fork, Middle Fork and South Fork - the names of the three vacation units available in this triplex cabin. With three private units, this is a great option for group travelers wanting to be together and yet still have their own space, or can be utilized singularly and privately. There are two 6” thick walls and two dead-bolting doors separating each unit.

With the quiet woods all around, this is a great place to unwind and settle in.

Great place

Great area, well situated near the park with amazing opportunity to stargaze. The checkin was a bit confusing as I don’t normally check my email and go to the VRBO for checkin instructions but we figured it out pretty quickly.

Great place to stay for Glacier

No complaints whatsoever. There are 2 attached units on each side but had no noise or any related issues with them. Located about midway between Columbia falls and the park so great location but way off the main roads.

Great location for Glacier National Park Visit

We were pleased with our stay. The owners lived on the property in an adjacent building and were very pleasant and helped us with trash pickup. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the place felt very new. Our kids, ages 8 and 12, loved the upstairs loft with its low ceilings. We were about 20 minutes to the Glacier NP Apgar Visitor Center, which is in the Southwest corner of the park. Although the apartment had a large closet in the main bedroom, there wasn't a hanging bar for clothes yet. I'm sure this is on the owner's to-do list, as the unit was brand new at the time of our visit. There was also only one TV in the living room. I'm not sure if that will later be adjusted but it would be nice if the master bedroom had at least a small Roku TV for streaming. Also, there were no lamps yet in the master bedroom. The kitchen was well equipped but there wasn't a dishwasher. Other than these very minor items, the place was really great. I would recommend to anyone travelling to Glacier NP.

Shared unit

We stayed in the larger center unit and had renters on either side. This posed no issues for us, though and our unit was a nice surprise as it was very spacious and clean. We didn’t do any cooking, but the kitchen had all the essentials and then some. About 20 minutes into town, but would def stay again. Sunflower cafe was also a nice surprise- inside Glacier campground (limited hours/days, but great breakfast and lunch).
