The place was perfect for us - he worked on his computer stuff while I worked on my art stuff. The kittens had fun exploring the place and/or snuggling up with us for the weekend. We would definitely go back again one day!

cottage stay

The cottage itself was fine. The prospective view of the Glacier and mountains is promising except there are a lot of trees in the way....would recommend thinning the "forest" a bit for a better view. We slept very well. It is nice and quiet.

Great cabin!

What a beautiful property! The cabin was great! Well stocked and clean. The host left us s'more making supplies which was much appreciated! We had a fire in the backyard and played corn hole while looking out through the trees to the glacier.

Quiet get away

Perfect get away to unplug. Although there was no internet or tv channels, I had a good book. I went to a local coffee shop to check messages. It was great for a little peace and quiet.

Can’t wait to come back!

Had the pleasure of being here with some friends around the 4th of July! Cute little gem of a place out in Glacier View! Comfy bed, ample living space, corn-hole out back and the owner left s’more makings and hot chocolate. We got to meet Debbie and her family who live up the property and they are incredible hosts. Anything you need they got it taken care of. We can’t wait to come back to this beautiful place and stay with them again. 10/10 highly recommend!

Awesome property and location

Very nice stay with stocked kitchen. Owner was very responsive. Would recommend for 2 people as there is only 1 bed. The air mattress doesnt work thru the night. Within 1 hour the air started deflating and we ended up sleeping on the floor. Other than sleeping situation everything else was great.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 July 2025
From the Owner: "Thank you for your feedback. The cabin has one permanent bed, and I also provided brand-new air mattresses to accommodate additional guests. As far as I knew, there had been no issues with them.I wish you had mentioned any problems during their stay; you texted me daily, so I’m not sure why this wasn’t brought up. Had I known, I would have done my best to resolve the issue right away.Guest comfort is very important to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to improve."

Amazing!

We had a few issue with the pipes freezing but we had the most amazing experience with the northern lights on New Years Eve! The sky morphed into a 5 minute Aurora buerealis firework show! I hope I can add a video to show here. We have been on a ten day trip and this was the best show of the northern lights!

Wonderful Cabin Off the Beaten Path

This is great little property in a beautiful alpine area with lots of nearby hiking & sightseeing. The cabin is well stocked with a sweet porch and fire pit. The hosts were great and quick to respond to our requests. We asked for a BBQ Grill and it was waiting on our arrival along with 2 fresh salmon filets. That’s over the top! They were delicious! Just a minor note, a TV is pictured in the property description but no tv service provided and no WiFi (which was noted in the description). Had we known we would have brought cables to view our movies & photos. With that said we loved our stay. Thank you.
