We saw a bear!

This little cottage is so cute! And the location to the park is great. On our very first night we had a black bear in the backyard!! There’s a cute place to grab ice cream and coffee and a pizza food truck with great pizza around the corner.

Perfect location!

The Pinecone Cottage is a great stay in East Glacier. Colleen has everything you need to have a comfortable stay. The kitchen is well stocked with every appliance you could ever want. Walking distance to Brownies, pizza and more! Highly recommend going to Brownies for sandwiches and breakfast and the pizza trailer across the street is delicious! Beds are very comfortable and internet is FAST!

Great home base for Glacier

Nearer to the Two Medicine entrance to Glacier, on the East side, this home was a good place to overnight between days of hiking on the East Glacier side. House was clean, well equipped and worked well for our group of 3. The coffee maker was new; filters provided. Plenty of towels and blankets. Nice electric fireplace in living area.

Review

Nice and clean. Cute and quaint. Enjoyable yard to walk in. Comfortable. Plenty of room for four. This was my first VRBO and overall the experience was excellent. There was only one complaint: Maybe all VRBOs are like this, but the "total price" was not the total price. There was an insurance requirement before the final reservation could be made.

Pinecone Cottage offers a great location for accessing the Two Medicine Lake area, a less busy portion of Glacier, while still putting the most popular areas of the park, Lake McDonald, Many Glacier and Going to the Sun Road, within easy reach. The Two Medicine Lakes trails are absolutely beautiful and Scenic Point trail, also in Two Medicine, offered a rewarding challenge. We also had less than a two hour drive to Waterton Lakes Park in Canada which is fantastic as well.As for the cottage, it is the perfect home away from home, with a fully equipped kitchen, spacious bath, comfortable eating area and living room. There are views from every room, plus a lovely seating and dining area outside with views of the mountains. Colleen has ensured that everything you could want is here.Bonus - Parking is just outside the door for easy loading and unloading.

Pinecove Cottage was fantastic!

This cottage was perfect for our family for our trip to Glacier! The beds were very comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our girls loved the claw foot bathtub and Colleen even had bath salts to help ease the aches and pains from hiking. The internet worked great (Starlink) and was fast enough for streaming a movie while we also had iPads going. There were bunnies and birds to check out in the backyard no fans and heaters inside to keep us comfortable when we were there. It was centrally located to the best Glacier hikes and the pizza truck down the street was great for dinner. We already plan on coming back again next summer. So glad Colleen chose to share this house with us!

About the host

Hosted by Colleen Erickson

Host profile image
I was raised on a farm a couple of hours away but have spent most of my life in East Glacier Park. I have been managing another property, The Candy Kitchen, for 35 years, 13 of which have been on VRBO so please check out its reviews if you want to know more about my management skills. I really enjoy meeting the guests and hearing about them and what their plans are for their vacation and helping them in anyway I can.

Why they chose this property

The cottage sits on a large lot in the woods and when you sit outside enjoying the view...you will be able to hear all the birds and smell the pines. We do get the occasional wildlife wandering through. The cottage is just down the street from the #9 hole of the Glacier Park Lodge golf course.

What makes this property unique

Large, private lot in the trees with a view. Newly remodeled. Large sunny bathroom with cast iron clawfoot tub to soak in as well as a large shower.
