About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This unique property consists of 9 treed acres along the Middle Fork of the Flathead River which borders Glacier National Park. We are located between West Glacier and East Glacier so there is great access to either entrance of Glacier National Park. Relax on the deck during the day and enjoy a fire pit in the evening. A steeper trail down the hill takes you to the river where there is a large beach area and some fantastic fishing holes.
The amenities of the home consist of a fully equipped kitchen stocked with the basics, fireplace, WIFI , gas BBQ, firepit (firewood provided) outdoor table and lawn chairs. If you're looking for a getaway from the crowds, a convenient place to explore Glacier National Park and a beautiful place to stay, look no further.
We are 24 miles from the West Glacier Park Entrance and 35 miles from the East Glacier Park entrance. Another bonus is that on the other side of our property we look directly into Great Bear Wilderness where there are even more trails to explore!
Brand new for 2024 is AC for the cabin as well as a new King size Sealy mattress!!
Our main home is also on the property and we may be there during your stay or it may be rented. The homes are not within eyesight of each other so you will still have lots of privacy**
We may have a on site host next year who is very familiar with Glacier Park. This will be decided in the spring of 2025 and they will be located behind the main home which will not interfere with your views/privacy etc.

****Minimum age requirement for guests at this home is 21 years of age****

*We recently upgraded to Starlink WIFI. All calls are through WIFI calling as there is no cell service in our area so please make sure your phone is set up for WIFI calling prior to arriving!!!

Peaceful escape at Glacier

The location is just far enough away from the busy West Glacier area for privacy and quiet, but close enough for a short drive to the West Entrance. It is a great place to wind down. Sue was a wonderful host. She kept in contact to make sure we didn’t need anything. She showed us where to pick wild huckleberries. We didn’t make it all the way down the steps to the river, but took a walk along the edge of the ridge to check it out. Highly recommend Sue and the cabin for a nice couples escape from the tourists and rest from the day of long hikes. The cabin was very well stocked and had everything we needed.

Wonderful spot to enjoy Glacier!

Had a fabulous time at this cabin!! Loved that it was easy to launch into the East or West side of the park. The cabin was extremely well-appointed - kitchen was well set up, and the gas stove and mini split AC kept it comfortable inside no matter what the Montana weather decided to do! I will say that the steps down to the river are an adventure - using hiking poles made me more comfortable. Totally worth the trip though!! Would absolutely stay here again!

Away from it all

This cabin provides great access to Glacier NP (both entrances) as well as peace and quiet. It is a distance from anything substantial so bring your own groceries as there is a lovely kitchen to prepare meals. This is a great getaway and place to unwind. we enjoyed the BBQ, coffee on the patio, and the fun movie selection at night. We did not go down to the river but know this was an amenity. Clean, well equipped and ready for outdoor adventures.

Excellent place to experience glacier park!

The house was under one and a half hours from every entrance in Glacier park. It made it very convenient to access all three entrances to the park, which we did. The house itself was an amazing condition, very clean, very secluded, and had everything we needed for our trip. The owners were very responsive, and very helpful throughout our entire stay. Would definitely recommend 100%.

Hidden Treasure

Beautiful little cabin in the woods. Everything we could have asked for in our stay near Glacier NP. House was clean and decorated lovely and homey. Plenty of supplies including bear spray! Great location too central to both sides of the park. Sue was a wonderful host with great communication to make sure our stay was comfortable and fun!

simply the BEST

If you are visiting Glacier National Park this is an ideal location for the start of your adventures. Located half way between the West and East entrances of the park makes for a great spot for all the hikes and drives. The property is absolutely gorgeous. Situated right on the Middle Branch of the Flathead River with NP land across the river from you gives you peace and tranquility after a day's hike. My husband fly fished every late afternoon/evening with much success. No neighbors, no noise, just the river and trees. The cabin itself is perfect, beautifully furnished, comfy king sized bed, kitchen has everything you need, grill and fire pit for late night s'mores. Sue is very responsive to messages and I could truly tell she wanted to make sure everything was absolutely perfect for our stay. This is our second stay here and we literally booked our trip around the availability of this rental. Thanks again Sue, for sharing this beautiful spot with us. We had a fabulous time.

AMAZING cabin and location to Glacier National Park!!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful cabin and property. Everything was so clean and the cabin was well stocked with dishes, utensils and cooking supplies. We met Leah (one of the owners) when we first arrived and she gave us lots of great Glacier National Park recommendations. The drive to the park was very easy and beautiful from the cabin! We used the fire pit and grill. The last evening we went down to the river by the cabin and fished and had a picnic! Could not recommend this cabin more!! AMAZING location and beautiful property!

The Perfect Retreat

My wife and I were traveling to Glacier National Park for a summer vacation. Everything about our stay here exceeded our expectations. The cabin was clean, cozy and well stocked with everything you’d need to feel at home. Sue’s communication before and during our trip made it clear that she truly cares about her guest’s experience and comfort. 10/10. We will be returning. -Steve

This lovely property had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The setting is just beautiful and inside the cabin is lovely as well. We had to tear ourselves away to head out for our daily hikes! The view from the living room window is mesmerizing. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Owner is very responsive and helpful 😀.

Summer getaway

This cabin was perfect for a reset. It’s in a great location between west and east entrances to Glacier NP, and it was right next to the river for any kayaking/rafting activities and borders the National Forest across the road with more hiking opportunities. The cabin itself was fully stocked/furnished, cozy yet modern, and extremely clean. Sue was easy to get ahold of and extremely kind and hospitable. She happened to be staying in the main cabin on the property while we were there and was so nice to come introduce herself to us and chat with us. She made sure we had everything we needed for this stay! My only complaint was that the cabin doesn’t have air conditioning, but the nights cool off fairly quickly so it wasn’t a big issue by any means!

PERFECT!

This is the perfect cabin! It’s very thoughtfully designed, with high-end appointments and simple elegance in decor. It has everything you need for your stay. We loved the private wooded lot and the smell of pine trees, we used the firepit nightly, and walked down to the river below to fish. There is another house in the property but they are completely private from the cabin. The owners Sue and Leah are wonderful…great tips on everything from renting the car early to where to park for good hikes in the park. We will be back… and will look forward to staying at this cabin again!

No need to look any further for a great place to stay near GNP. Just book this awesome cabin!! We LOVED this place. Favorite VRBO so far. Comfy bed-which is nearly impossible to find, really well stocked kitchen, great owner and awesome location. Close enough to west glacier to be easy to get to and a nice distance from crowds. Was delightful to leave the park and have a quiet place in the woods that’s clean and has a great shower! No tv, but who cares? 😎 we would stay here again anytime!

No one could ask for more! It’s AWESOME

The property was so well maintained, comfortable, tastefully decorated and designed yet not too over the top fancy. First it was an awesome base camp for our west and east side travels. The drive up to Many Glaciers was fun and easy. It made stopping for groceries is Browning easy and convenient. Sue had everything designed so well! The bathroom was spacious with lots of place for our stuff. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked as were clean linens. The lighting was great and the switches made perfect sense to me. The fire pit, gas grill and outdoor table fit our needs great after long days hiking the magnificent GNP. We appreciated and were grateful for the numerous ice cube trays! Sounds silly but that was a great to see when you are used to an ice dispenser and use a lot of ice! The hike down to the river and back up are a great work out! We highly recommend this property, perfectly sized for 2.

Perfect little cabin in the woods

What a cute and comfortable cabin! Sue has thought of your every need before you did. Very comfy bed and great kitchen space for cooking. And the place was spotless too! Also fire pit outside for roasting marshmallows! It’s a bit of a steep hike to get down to the river in the back but well worth it and Sue has put some ropes up to help you up and down that you can use. The property is about a half hour drive to west entrance of the park and about 1.5 hrs to East entrance and add about another 20 minutes if your going to Many Glacier. It’s a beautiful area and a very pretty drive wherever you go. We’d absolutely stay here again if we come back to GNP.
