Perfect getaway
Our group of four 60+-year-old adults came to Glacier National Park to visit. We knew some of the park wasn't accessible, but we wanted to get away from the Texas heat. We were not disappointed. The area is beautiful - isolated, clean, and spacious. Our property is part of several other "cabins" in a group but we felt alone thanks to the wonderful trees and surroundings. Our "cabin" was a very nicely appointed home with all the modern amenities that made the stay very simple. There are plenty of stores close by for essentials, food, etc. One last thing, we were absolutely tickled by the friendliness and politeness of the service people we interacted with - from the airport to restaurants. It makes to glad to know manners are not dead in the US! If you've never been to Montana, GO! You will not regret it.

West Glacier
The property is a perfect location to the west entrance of the park and the trees that surround it despite having other homes next to it, offers privacy. Detailed instructions from the hosts address multiple scenarios including loss of power. We had high winds and lights flickering but the home was equipped for such occasions and the hosts checked in on us. The house has everything needed to be comfortable plus some extras! They were also very accommodating with some date shifts I requested. Would stay again!

Lovely house. Could not ask for a better location to be able to get into the park early. Stores and restaurants close by. The house was very clean and organized. The beds were very comfortable. We appreciated the coolers and bear spray that we could use. No cable TV, just streaming that we had difficulty getting to work but really did not miss watching TV. Would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

Beautiful spot on the doorstep to Glacier
This cozy and well-equipped cabin made a perfect launching point for our five days in Glacier National Park. Several excellent restaurants and convenience stores are walking distance away. We also enjoyed walking to the nearby river. We were greeted by a mule deer within an hour of arrival, and we did see the local bear one night. The beds and pillows were comfy, lounge space were good for our tired legs after all-day hiking.

Great stay near Glacier National Park
The location of the house is absolutely incredible. Visiting Glacier involves a lot of driving, so it was so nice to be 3 minutes away from the front gate and pop in and out of the park when we wanted to shower or grab some food. Would definitely stay again!

INCREDIBLE location for GNP! Perfect! Communication with owners was VG as well. House would've been very comfortable if the gas fireplace had been working. Not the owners' fault; they advised us, but we hit cold weather and it took a LONG time to get the chill out of the air in the house. Would've liked to have seen the deck itself and the deck furniture cleaned up prior to our stay as well. But we give this stay a 5-star rating because of LOCATION! Would recommend this stay to anyone! We would stay here again

Awesome, cozy, comfortable
This is our second time staying here and it did not disappoint. All the comforts of home were furnished by Jeff and Kelly. This place is private and secluded. Just a driver and a 9 iron to the entrance of GNP which makes it such a convenient location. We traveled to the East side and found there is nothing comparable. I would highly recommend this property. Plus there is bear spray supplied by the hosts.

Best place outside of park
I honestly could not have asked for more. I have stayed at many places, but this topped them all. It is super close to the west gates for Glacier National Park (you could walk). Kelly had EVERYTHING you could ask for. She has a well stocked kitchen with a cabinet full of spices, slow cooker, washer and dryer and most of all the most comfy beds and fabulous water pressure for the shower.❤️❤️ Thank you Kelly and Jeff!!!! I will definitely stay here again, if and when I get back to Glacier NP.

Fantastic Place with Great Amenities
This is one of best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. Location is great for spending time in GNP. Owners are most communicative I have ever seen. House is stocked with just about everything you need for visiting the park including ice chests, hiking poles, bear spray, maps etc. Lots of books for planning your trip in the house plus games etc. Kitchen is well stocked including spices and basics like flour and vegetable spray. Worked out great for our family of four adults. If you go, check out the Glacier Highland restaurant. Its a short walk down the hill and really good (but pricey). Not what you would expect in a small tourist area.
