About this property

Facing the Swan Mountains on 20 beautiful rolling acres are three tipi's available for overnight stays for those looking for a more "down to earth experience". Enjoy the night skies and experience the wonder of being/sleeping in an ancient conical structure. This tipi has a Queen size bed and is the most private, but of course a little further from the facilities. Restroom is in Glass blowing studio. New this summer a solar powered outdoor shower!

Staying In a Teepee

We were fully prepared to stay in a teepee, which we knew would not have electricity and other amenities. We were expecting to camp in a fun tent. Our surprise came when we realized that there was no "floor" to the teepee. There were nice outdoor rugs across the space, but there was no connection with the sides of the teepee, and around the edges of the sides were grasses 2 feet high. The biggest suggestion I could share is for the owner to add tarps to the bottom of the teepee. It all worked, but we were very surprised to have the tall grass in the tent with us. The owner was very communicative and met us on the property to walk us through the site.

Lee’s place is absolutely beautiful! The Tipi’s were so much fun to sleep in! I would venture to call our experience a “Diamond in the Rough “. My husband has back issues and we were concerned about that, but the bed was very comfortable! There is no electricity in the tipi, so make sure your phone/devices I are charged ahead of time if you need to use it/them. The nights we stayed, there was a full moon, clear skies, and it was beautiful, waking up to clear sunny skies. The tipi’s are in a field of tall grass, and the paths to the tipi’s are lit with solar lights. We are a couple in our 60’s so we did bring a flashlight. I tried out the solar shower, it was well done, but a little chilly. Maybe wait till afternoon. I also enjoyed the beautiful glass work adorning the property! Our host Lee, was very friendly and helpful, easy to reach and quick to respond to our questions. We would definitely recommend this experience and would definitely stay there again.

What an absolutely incredible experience! The setting is beautiful, but sleeping in the teepee was out of this world. I will be back!

The idea of sleeping in a tipi sounds fun, but there was long grass everywhere, including inside the tipi. There were also grasshoppers in the bed. The bathroom was in the back of a workshop, and the light was burnt out. There was a kiln and many other tools that were hazardous. There was very poor lighting.

Husband initially booked two nights in one of the teepees, but that was a bit too rustic for me. When we explained the situation to Lee, he immediately had us stay in his guest room, which was a lovely accommodation. The following night he had us move to the guest house, which was even more lovely and contained everything we needed to be super comfortable. Lee was nice enough to give us a tour of his studio and workshop and showed us the incredible project he’s currently working on. Overall, it was a lovely experience and we’ll definitely be back with our children for a second visit to Glacier National Park. Couldn’t end this review without mentioning his cute cat who greeted us warmly as soon as we arrived.
