This property is ideally situated for people wanting to visit St. Mary's and Many Glacier. It offers privacy without being too remote. We especially appreciated its cleanliness, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We had a very enjoyable stay!

The BEST Place to Stay!

Jon’s cabin was the BEST place to stay! The cabin was adorable, well-appointed, private, and clean. The top deck was perfect for viewing mountains & wildlife. We saw two grizzlies right nextdoor. The fire pit was cozy and ample firewood (with kindling) was provided. Location is the key tho! So close to Many Glacier with tons of hiking options, St Mary’s Going-to-the-Sun Road, and Two Medicine. And Jon is a fantastic host. We will be back next summer!

I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone who plans to visit East Glacier area! The cabin was beautiful and sparkling clean. It had everything we needed and beyond (including well equipped kitchen, bear spray, wood for setting up camp fire, toiletries, coffee and tea). Beds were comfortable. The host shared helpful tips and followed with us for any needs, both before and during our stay. We liked the quiet and isolated setting. The location was great - right in between Many Glacier and St Mary's village. We appreciated having the laundry facilities after 4 days of hiking. Service and wifii were reasonable (considering the location), which was also helpful for re-connecting and trip planning. Overall, we had a great stay!

Great location and thoughtful details

This property is located close to the St. Mary’s entrance of the park and relatively close to the Many Glacier entrance, so it was very convenient for the activities we wanted to do on the East side like the Grinell Glacier hike. Also, less traffic entering on the east side and no separate vehicle reservation needed at St. Mary’s. We also appreciated the thoughtful details in the property that made it both cozy and functional - nice woodwork, modern kitchen and bathrooms, laundry availability and thoughtful decor. Also appreciated the air beds so we could allow our boys to sleep separately.

The location of and views from this cabin are fantastic! We were exactly where we wanted to be in proximity to Glacier National Park and felt like we were tucked into our little cabin in the woods. The cabin had everything we needed - full kitchen, laundry, towels, and enough room for 5 of us to be comfortable. Jon was great to work with and made check-in and out super simple.

Booked for our family of four for a 3 night stay to explore east Glacier NP. Perfect. Lovely, very private cabin that had everything we needed and then some. Easily accessible cabin, very convenient to the St. Mary and Many Glacier entrances, but feels/is quite remote. Saw two moose on property during our stay :) Communication with owner was great, even got notification that we might be able to see the northern lights one night. Our 4.5yo used the second bed, and 1.5yo used the provided crib which worked great. Very nice HK sound system in the kitchen for Bluetooth tunes every morning. Nice to have a washer/drier. Bear spray and other essentials provided, nothing that hadn’t been thought of from what we could tell. IMO, place was better than can even be gleaned from the listing. Would definitely recommend for a small family/group, and we would certainly book again if we make it back out that way.

Location was good to east glacier. Most expensive and worst experience of any short term rental we’ve stayed in. I’ve stayed in about 70 and been happy with most of them. We contacted the host when our cat captured a mouse and got that nights are getting cold so that’s expected. The next night our cats brought 4 additional mice to us in bed during the night. When the host was made aware of this there was no response. All in costs were over 700 per night and I was left a list of chores to complete as well as an envelope to tip the housekeeper. Seems to me for that price the housekeepers should do all of the work and be paid by the owner generously.

I have owned Glacier Ridge acreage in Babb, MT since 2005. I enjoy spending my Spring and Summer in Montana due to the mild climate and the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

Spectacular location overlooking near Glacier Park and within 15 minute drive to Many Glacier and St. Mary Park entrance. 1 Hour from Waterton National Park Entrance in Canada.

This property is new, beautiful and is designed for travelers that want the same amenities of home. The upper deck is at tree canopy height providing almost a tree house experience. The views from the upper deck have no equal to any other vacation rental property on the East side of Glacier Park. There is a 270° view of the Rockies, St Mary Lake and the Continental Divide Ridge to the East

The Villa is located on in the forest providing tranquility and privacy however only 2 minutes to the 464 highway.

What makes this property unique

Incredible panorama views of the Rockies and forest. The location is tranquil, with wildlife on the property, sometimes right outside the door.

Glacier Summit was completed in mid-August 2022. It is located on the one of the highest points on the acreage so it has a majestic view of the forest canopy.
