Montana Mountain Cabin

We stayed here to explore Glacier National Park. It was a good split distance between the east and west entrances. The cabin itself very cozy, clean, comfortable. The owners were very friendly and thorough on the property upon arrival. Highly recommend the stay here, lots to do nearby.

An amazing stay!!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during our GNP vacation. We had 11 people in our party (5 kids and 6 adults). The cabin was clean and nicely appointed with all the necessities, the beds were very comfortable, the host was outstanding and extremely nice/helpful, and the location was perfect being in between the two sides of the park. It was a convenient drive in either direction which allowed us to choose where we wanted to go each day without a hassle. It was so nice to be able to come back after a full day of hiking and get away from the crowds. The setting was beautiful and quiet, we enjoyed sitting out on the porch looking at the mountains and watching the horses, and the kids loved playing with the dogs in the yard. I can’t say enough good things about our stay!

Great Location

My dad and I stayed here late September/early October. It's in a super good spot to access both the east and west sides of Glacier, which would definitely be handy if they close Going to the Sun Road. The cabin is great! Large porch, full kitchen, comfy living room. Bedroom/bunkroom are downstairs. We really enjoyed the stay.

Great find

Quiet and well centered for our plans. Property is beautiful. Cabin was comfortable. Flies were a little bad but it is a horse ranch in a remote area so thats to be expected. Everything else was amazing. Will try to go back next time I visit the area.

Great Cabin w/ Convenient Location for Exploring

My family of 5 found this the perfect spot to explore the region and its convenient location roughly half way between the two side of Glaciers NP. Capri and Shawn were great hosts and hope to return someday! Other reviewers covered the cabin itself well and agree with all the positive comments.

Beautiful Ranch Setting

I couldn't have picked a better place! The location is perfect for both East & West Glacier National Park, the house had everything we needed. Capri was VERY accommodating from the start and I enjoyed our talks! We enjoyed watching them work the horses in the evening and enjoyed the dogs especially Rosie reminded us of home, would definitely stay again!

Wonderful stay at a family friendly horse ranch.

We chose this location to have equal access to West and East Glacier NP, and it was the perfect choice. The cabin we stayed in was plenty big for 7 of us, the 100 acre ranch surrounded by mountains and a fishable creek was a great home base while we enjoyed the national park. Campfires at night, starry skies and the enjoyment of the horse activities created a fabulous environment to relax and enjoy nature. Thanks Shawn, Capri and crew!

Cozy and Quiet

My husband and I loved staying in the cabin. It was cozy with tons of beds if you planned on bringing the family or friends. During our stay we booked a half day horseback ride with the outfitter on the property. This was a lovely touch, especially since we booked this cabin for our wedding trip/honeymoon. Everyone on the property was very helpful and welcoming! They also made sure you had your privacy. I loved meeting everyone including the horses and dogs that reside on the property. If we decide to make this an annual trip, we will for sure book again with Capri and Shawn!!

Beautiful location, perfect stay for families or friends, GREAT hosts!

We absolutely loved staying on the east side of Glacier National Park at Capri and Shawns house at Snowy Mountain Outfitters. They were WONDERFUL hosts. Absolutely breathtaking property and the cabin had essentials plus some! We had everything we needed and loved being so close to East Glacier Lodge, East entrance to Going to the Sun Road, and our favorite, Many Glacier wasnt a bad drive from the cabin! We rode horses while at the cabin and loved the ride and views close to sundown! Loved Hoss and Rosie on property visiting and greeting us daily! We had zero issues finding this cabin and loved that there were restaurants not far away on the reservation or other town areas that was good if we wanted to eat out for dinner one night after hiking or cooking at the cabin! Highly recommend this location and hosts and would love to come back one day!! Perfect for our family of 5!!

July Stay

We got married in Glacier in July and we used this cabin as our home base. We had a group of 8 adults and with the extra bunk room there was plenty of space for all of us. The property is peaceful and we loved all the dogs running around, especially Hoss :) The best grocery store was in Columbia Falls on our way in and the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals there. Thanks Capri for checking on us throughout our stay and making sure we had everything we needed!!! You really can’t get a better location if your plan is to explore Glacier National Park. It’s pretty much equal distance between both West and East entrances.

Felt like our cabin which was just what we wanted!

We had a wonderful stay at Snowy Mountain. They were so accommodating. Our granddaughter was thrilled to see the kittens and to ride a horse. It is a beautiful and relaxing spot. My father wasn't up for the stairs down to the sleeping area. We brought a twin mattress upstairs and that worked great. The stream that is close by was fun to walk to. We all would go back again!

great stay/off the grid

cabin is as advertised, beautiful location, kitchen well stocked, plenty of beds, beds downstairs, bathroom upstairs, but didn't seem to be a problem for the younger ones; we did pull a mattress upstairs for the oldest. loved sitting on the porch and watching for wildlife ; we had a bonfire every night. no cell service so was great to reconnect with family to actually talk with one another. there were 6 of us and we loved the location. thank you for setting up last minute trail ride for the family. we hated leaving. I'm sure you will hear from us again.

Perfect Family Property

Oh my goodness what a fun place!! If you like horses and dogs, this is the place for you. Our little ones had a blast with the very friendly dogs on the property. The owner, Capri is very friendly and accommodating. She's willing to strike up a conversation any time. I really enjoyed watching some of the ranch hands practicing their calf roping each morning. We even had deer go through the property. My husband managed to get a gorgeous photo of the campfire with the moon just over the mountains!! Absolutely stunning.

Great halfway point between west and east side of park

Capris cabin was perfect for our family of 4. Upstairs is a full kitchen, shower only bathroom, living room with satellite tv and DVD player. Downstairs had two twin beds and a bunk bed in one big room and a queen bed in a private room which was extremely comfortable. Capri met us on arrival and provided lots of helpful information about the property. There is no phone service and limited WiFi but that seems to be the norm around that area. We loved the central location between the east and west sides of the park since the going to the sun road was not fully open yet. The property is gorgeous and my son absolutely loved the horses and trains

Glacier National Park Home Base

We stayed at Shawn and Capri's property for our visit to Glacier National Park. This is a great location if you want to bounce between east and west entrances. We visited the east side only and the drives were reasonable. The property is great, stunning views all around and being an active horse ranch/outfitter added to the authenticity. They had everything we needed in the house for cooking our own meals. Beds were comfy and clean. Bathroom was fine. This was a perfect size for our family of four. The pups on the property are great. They like to come and visit and see what's going on. We loved it. If you're looking for something a little off the beaten path with a great setting, this is the place. We'd stay with them again no questions asked. Thanks!
