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 9.2 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.

Quality Time

Rustic is not an overstatement, but that was just what we were looking for. After all...it is Montana. Access to Glacier Park is terrific and the Flathead river is only a 6 minute drive from your door step. We thoroughly enjoyed star gazing on the banks and were fortunate enough to catch a spectacular performance of the Aurora Borealis. The property manager was a super guy and very attentive. I'll stay again if the party is small enough or just rent multiple units. Very much enjoyed the stay and it was the perfect location.

Beautiful location with great amenities

The Vrbo is on a beautiful wooded property, with updated interiors. Extremely clean and the owner clearly cares about the details. Thank you for the local treats, a comfy bed, and a lovely porch. We stayed at another Vrbo with family earlier in the week, the owner of that one was extremely demanding with a 20-point list of expectations and chores for us. Spotted Bear Retreat is the opposite of this. They make it easy and stress free for you! We were beyond appreciate of this. Also, great view of stars you can even see the Milky Way! We plan on coming back, thank you. :)

Beautiful place close to Glacier NP

Easy to find, check in a breeze, very close to GNP. Best of all was a wonderfully comfortable bed! John was very helpful and friendly. The place is brand new and just perfect for us to hike the park. We will come back for sure!
