The property was beautiful. Close to the park. The house was great for us. We have absolutely no complaints. Would 100% go there again.
This guy was right outside our house!  We named him Chip because we think the smell of the chocolate chip cookies I had just baked were what attracted him.

Nice stay. Details helped

The place was nice, clean, close to NP. The kitchen had some staples that were very useful for cooking, things you don’t want to have to buy for a visit like spices and baggies and such. Thank you

About as close to the Park as you can get

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this rental. Great proximity to the Park with all the comforts of home. I cooked nearly every meal here, and having a washer & dryer was very convenient. I would stay here again.

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!

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.

Fantastic stay in West Glacier!

We had a fabulous time at this home which is exactly as described. It's incredibly close to the Glacier National Park entrance in West Glacier (basically across the street) which was so convenient for early hikes on the west side of the park. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean and convenient and it was plenty of space for a family of 4 adults. We had a great time and hope to return one day!
