Fantastic Backwoods Get-a-way!!

This property was amazing! Fantastic views of Elk Mountain right off the deck. It was extremely clean and well taken care of. The property was in the perfect location almost right in the middle between east and west glacier entrances. There is no WiFi/internet or cell service! Which was very peaceful for us. Plenty of towels, dishes, and general houseware needs. We definitely recommend staying here!

Multigenerational trip to GNP

This cabin exceeded all our needs. There were things there that werent even listed I'm sure because they may or may not be there the next time. We ended up in East Glacier many days and in West Glacier many days as well. It t takes timeto go anywhere there so just know that ut will take time . The deck was wondeful watching the trains across the valley and the birds were abundant. Our kids LOVED the bunk beds. We were gone most days but it was an awesome place to come back and shower and rest and eat. showttime.

Another Great Stay

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. It is a wonderful location to visit Two Medicine. The cleanliness of the property was outstanding. We enjoyed our evenings sitting on the deck, watching the trains go by and the view of Elk Mountain. We love the seclusion of the property and will return again.

Near Glacier National Park

The house is exceptionally clean and maintained. With 4 bedrooms, it is perfect for a larger family or groups of couples traveling together. The kitchen is well stocked with all necessary staples. It is isolated and private (about 20 minutes from East Glacier); we found it refreshing after the hustle and bustle of busy days in Glacier with crowds and traffic. Follow the instructions given by the owner to find the house; do not rely on GPS or try to find it for the first time after dark. We definitely would stay here again and would recommend it if you don’t mind not having cell service and being a bit off the beaten path.

Great location, beautiful & comfortable, no cell service, no wifi

Lovely view, private, perfectly centrally located between West & East Glacier. Comfortable beds, comfy living room, very nice kitchen. Beautiful decks, great decor. No wine glasses & no corkscrew (well, there should be one now, I left one.) The fabulous Summit Mountain Steakhouse about 5 minutes away. Perfect for what we wanted, but if you need to make 7pm reservations for next day in the park, you’re screwed.

Perfect Spot For All of Glacier National Park

We were in town for a race, and this house fit our needs perfectly. It is located between West and East Glacier, making it the perfect spot for exploring all areas. It is very secluded, which we loved. There was no cell phone or internet service, which we also loved! The kitchen was stocked well and had more than your usual rental. The beds were nice. The views off of the deck were great. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area!

Better than the photos

For a single-stay vacation in Glacier NP this is the one. Halfway between West entrance and St. Mary (about 1 hour to each) and nestled in the National Forest woods. Quiet. Secluded. Spacious. Epic views out the back deck. We loved our stay here and would gladly come back.

Was perfect for 2 families

Clean, beautiful and a good compromise on accessing multiple areas of the park. Just right for eight people. Nine can work, depending on age, sex and appropriateness of cohabitating. Besides that enough space for eating lounging and showering. Needed an adjustable wrench and the caretaker let us borrow one and was really nice. Beautiful view of the mountains off the deck and the National Forest starts right in your back yard. Highly recommend.

Great cabin but poor communication.

Cabin was awesome! Clean and great decor. No Wi-Fi or cell service so hard to ask owner questions. Felt I got smart ass answers instead of just a simple answer. Also no way to contact anyone in case of emergency. Not very secure. Key tied to a string outside. Yes out in the middle of nowhere but a simple keypad would be better. Much further from Glacier than I expected.

Glacier Vacation

Wow!! We loved our stay at Robert’s cabin. Perfectly located for our trips to both East and West Glacier, the cabin is secluded with the most beautiful view off the back deck. We loved watching the trains! The interior and furnishings were immaculate. The kitchen was well-stocked and perfect for cooking large meals. The washer and dryer was a huge plus. From bedding to linens to decor- everything was just top notch. We also appreciated Robert’s excellent recommendation for horseback riding at Snowy Springs. Shawn and his team were wonderful with the most well-behaved, sweetest trail horses!! We’re already thinking about our next visit. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cabin!!

A Perfect Place to Stay

This property was absolutely perfect for our family. It was immaculately clean and very well stocked. We had 4 adults and 3 children and we fit very comfortably in the space. The location worked wonderfully for us as well, essentially right in between the west and eastern park entrances, so we could go either direction without having to drive too far to get into the park. We loved staying here and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit this beautiful area!

Nice stay away from it all

It was an enjoyable stay while visiting Glacier. Quick 30-45 minutes from either gate. No internet, which was already communicated, so don’t expect to get signal either. East Glacier was the best location for wifi, especially at the Lodge. Property was nice, but very overgrown around the house. Didn’t make use of the fire pit because of all the vegetation. Owner states there is satellite tv available, but we never got it to work. Just a word of warning, the train track is just across the valley and constantly goes back and forth ALL day and night. Really wasn’t an issue if you don’t mind the noise; fortunately the whistle was never blown. Overall, an enjoyable stay.

Gorgeous house with a beautiful mountain view

The view from the balconies was fantastic. Mountains and trees for days. We ate our breakfast outside and listened to the birds and the distant train. So picturesque! The house was squeaky clean. If I didn't know any better I would have thought we were the first occupants. All of the furniture, stair rail, counters, floors, cabinets look new. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything a family needs for cooking. There were ziploc bags, laundry detergent, seasonings, coffee, tea and so much more available to use. Comfy beds, excellent pillows. Lots of towels. If I had to be picky, the downstairs shower is pretty funky and not having wifi was inconvenient at times when we needed to look up information. And bring your own wine opener :-) We have stayed at 25+ vacation rentals over the years. This property is in the top 3 for views, comfort and cleanliness.

Great place!

Directions to the property could be a lot better. We arrived after dark and had a tough time finding it. Directions should note street name is Geifer Creek Road. The “campground” mentioned in the directions is actually named RV Patk Glacier Meadow. The metal cactuses mentioned are covered in vines and not very recognizable as cactus. The “yellow” sign mentioned is so faintly colored that none of us thought it was yellow.

Mountain Retreat

Our daughter had her wedding in Glacier National Park and this cabin was about in the middle of East and West Glacier. While there were other cabins nearby, it felt like you were the only ones around. Being able to detach from technology was a huge plus and would play games when we were not hiking or exploring what the area has to offer. The view off the deck was amazing no matter what time of day. My husband and son loved watching the trains go by in the distance. Directions to the cabin and all things we would have and not have were spot on in the rental agreement. This was the perfect spot to stay to spend with our family before our daughter was married and our 2 youngest go off to college. I will treasure this time always. This is a gem and would stay there again.

Awesome in every way!

This was our first time ever using VRBO, it was everything it was advertised to be. I was worried about finding it because I read other experiences that had a tough time finding it, if you follow the directions, you will go right to it. It was clean, well stocked with the staples, we really liked the mud room right as you came in, the deck towards the mountain was awesome, I enjoyed watching the trains climb the slope. The gas grill came in very handy. The only criticism I would have is about securing the key for entry, but I can’t think of a great solution. Maybe a lock box with a code? Oh yeah, the park was more than awesome 😉, I think we were able to see just about one of every living creature in the park, no lie, bull cow and calf moose, black bears (2 cubs), elk, marmot, ground squirrels, mountain goats, big horn sheep, whitetail deer, mule deer, oh yeah a grizzly bear while we were on a hike. You won’t go wrong if you stay at this cabin, thanks to Robert for sharing his wonderful cabin with us.

Remote forest setting with unparalleled sunrise and sunset views from the deck

We felt fortunate to find this roomy cabin with enough bedrooms for my family of 5. It was not only comfortable and roomy, but extremely well laid out with two levels- of rooms and decks. The lack of cell service meant we spent nights playing games with the kids and had lots of quality time as a family. We grilled almost nightly on the deck and enjoyed the ever-changing weather and the mountain views were amazing. Relaxing on the deck at sunrise and sunset were huge highlights for me. I also loved the remote location and not having closeby neighbors. Finding the cabin was tricky but you just follow the instructions he gives and then follow the signs posted on the trees. The hillside location is prime for the impeccable views of the mountains and train across the canyon from you. Our family enjoyed the games, maps and books in the cabin, as well as the well-stocked kitchen. Rent this cabin for your Glacier adventures. It was perfect for our daily East Galcier outings. Our favorite of which was the boat ride and hike at Many Galcier to Grinnell Glacier. We can't wait to go back!
