Great stay! We stayed 9 nights and loved it! Short drive to the West Glacier entrance and to surrounding towns. Cabin was clean and quaint. Host was accommodating and even let us check in a day earlier than planned. Great access to hiking and water!

Terrific Montana cabin experience! Check-in and directions were very good and host was responsive to every question! Cabin was clean, comfortable and stocked with everything you would need to cook meals. Loved the quiet, remote location and rear deck to watch the birds and chipmunks.To be fair, the location is remote with the nearest grocery is 25-30 miles away so be prepared to stock up. The 2 upstairs beds in the loft are accessed by a steep stairway with narrow steps. I would be glad to stay here again on a future trip.Michael Y.Florida

This cabin was fabulous! I was a little worried staying in a cabin on 4 acres, maybe too secluded, but we loved it. There are other cabins from the driveway. There is a full kitchen, which we cooked many nights as there aren't many good restaurants near the park . We sat out on the deck and watched the birds and enjoyed the view. Anywhere is a little bit of a trip, no matter where you are staying. From this cabin you do have a drive to some of the park entrances, but what beautiful scenery along the way. The beds were comfortable, there was bear spray, plenty of seating, and a cozy vibe. There is internet, no cell service. After the busy days at the park it was nice to come back to and relax. We even saw a Moose walk in the backyard!!! Don't forget to stop at the many points along Hwy 2 near the cabin, beautiful river access points. Host was very responsive, would HIGHLY recommend staying here!

This stay was beautiful and secluded. It felt like a forest paradise. However, part of being in the forest means there’s the opportunity for critters. When we arrived we noticed mouse droppings around the house, and then stumbled across a dead mouse. We also found that a second mouse was eating some food we left out. We understand it comes with being in nature! Just a warning to anyone with allergies, and be careful leaving food out! We wouldn’t change a thing with our stay, though. It was genuinely gorgeous, with a scenic mountain view and excellent amenities!

Excellent location to see both east and west glacier. Loved the privacy of the cabin and all the amenities you could ever need. We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary and cooked out on the grill every night, and cozied up by the wood burning fireplace. Would recommend this cabin and definitely return.

Flawless Cabin!

We're so glad we found this cabin and rented it for our getaway to Glacier National Park! It is somewhat secluded but that is what I liked about it. One slightly visible neighbor through the trees but they made very little noise. My wife and I would most definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by The Manevals

Host profile image
We are a fun-loving outdoor family that likes to share the beauty of living in MT with others. We are lucky enough to only live an hour away from the cabin. We hope you enjoy the peace, quiet and cozy feel the cabin offers while exploring beautiful Glacier National Park or the Flathead Valley.

Why they chose this property

Nestled right between East and West Glacier Park entrances.4 acres of trees and mountain views, watch and listen to the squirrels, chipmunks and many colorful singing birds. This is the perfect combination for those who want to explore the area attractions, maybe take a beautiful drive to Kalispell, Whitefish, or Bigfork and return to your own private sanctuary.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views, wildlife right before your eyes. Peaceful/Quiet- lots of chirping birds!
