We have a no pet policy at Glacier Retreat for allergy purposes.
Welcome to your home away from home at Glacier Retreat. The beauty and activities are endless.
No ticket to the park? No worries. There are a few different options of getting into the park without a ticket. People are allowed into the park after 3 pm. It stays light until 11 so there is a lot of time to explore the park. If you are early birds, you can get into the park before 6 am.
This rental house is surrounded by national forest. Great for peaceful, quiet nights.
Easy one and a half mile walk to Flathead river where you can fish, have a picnic, or just relax.
8 minute drive to the West entrance to Glacier National Park.
Glacier National park has something for everyone. There are horse back riding tours, and helicopter tours. They offer a free shuttle from the visitor center to the top of the pass. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery while letting someone else do the driving. They have rafting tours with some including dinner along the rivers edge. There is wildlife and so many hikes ranging from extreme to easy strolls. There is plenty of picnic places in the park. Lake McDonald offers paddle boards and kayaks to rent for a day on the lake. There are plenty of gift shops to stroll through to take home a souvenir.
About 30 minutes from Whitefish where there is shopping, bars, and restaurants.
About 45 minutes to Big Mountain ski resort where there is snow skiing in winter and hiking in the summer. The views up Big mountain are amazing.
About 45 minutes to Lakeside featuring Flathead Lake and swimming access to the lake. Charter a fishing boat and fish for the day on Flathead lake, the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi.
About 15 minutes to Hungry Horse Dam where there is boating, fishing, and swimming.
About 30 minutes to historic downtown Kalispell.
About 30 minutes to Big Fork where there is shopping, food and breweries on the Flathead lake.
This is just the beginning. Columbia Falls has a big water slide that has mini golf, a rock wall and you can bring your own food for a barbecue. There is a wooden maze to keep your mind sharp. The house of mystery will leave you in mystery. Enjoy so many huckleberry food items from ice cream, pies, fudge to jams and candies. Flathead lake has boat tours to enjoy, as well as beach access to swim. After a day out exploring Montana, sit back and relax on the front porch of Glacier retreat. Come enjoy Montana's Big Sky and beautiful scenery.

Great Stay by West Glacier
We spent two nights here during our family vacation to Glacier National Park. This place worked perfect for us and met all of our needs. The setting was quiet and peaceful, the kitchen well-stocked, and the beds comfortable. Gina was very friendly and helpful, giving us tips for places to try. We would highly recommend this VRBO.

Awesome accommodations
Perfect location to explore Glacier National Park. Just 15 minutes from the west entrance. Well equipped and clean. Having 2 bathrooms was very important. Gina was available when we needed her and communicated as needed. Only complaint the WiFi was intermittent. But the idea was to not be tuned into electronics… right?

Beautiful place
Beautiful place! We have stayed in many VRBOs in the Flathead (we live in Montana) and this was one of the best. Everything was so nice, totally spotless clean, and we had plenty of elbow room with four adults and two babies. So nice to have two bathrooms! Love the covered porch, we spent so much time out there with the throw blankets provided. Gina is warm and welcoming and you couldn't ask for a nicer owner! Glacier Park is a close drive, and the area surrounding the house is very pretty to take walks around. Columbia Falls is close by for groceries, etc.

Short layover while visiting Glacier. Pro: Gina is great. Prosecco on counter is nice touch. Pro: Nice, clean space Small nit: no check in info prior to arrival. Not a big deal for us. Gina arrived about 10m after we arrived. Small nit: the mixed towel collection caught my eye. Not a big deal and definitely happens with other VRBOs but such an easy fix in the era of AmazonBasics. Note that neighbors are not the tidiest, one a logger and another with yard of junk and hay bailing equipment. Also note not the best if you are looking for screaming Wi-Fi, but you are next to Glacier so shouldn’t be a priority anyway. Overall, good place to stay. Only took off a star for check in and another for neighbors. 5 stars for all other categories.

Great location, but seemed lacking
This was definitely a bare-bones VRBO. It was nice to have a big living room, but the bedrooms were tiny, beds weren't great, and there were no chairs or stands to put luggage in. It was a great location, but for the price I would've expected the inside to be a little nicer. However, there are limited places to stay in the area, so it did the trick for one night.

Just what we needed
This house was a gem for our family of 8. The house looks small from the outside but felt roomy and homey on the inside. The design is neat and simple, an open setup. Everything is clean and tasteful, all hardwood and tile floors, no extra cluttery decor. We were thrilled at the long kitchen table with benches as it's rare to find a table that fits us with room to spare. Gina responded to my questions almost immediately which is so helpful when traveling. We would definitely recommend!

It was perfect!
We had a wonderful, relaxing, peaceful stay on our epic trek from Oklahoma City to Anchorage. This was a much needed respite and the home could not have been more perfect. It has everything you need and more. Spotless and new - the photos do not do this justice. The location is perfect - 10 minutes to Glacier or to Columbia Falls where we dined at the local brew pubs and stocked up on groceries. If you are looking for an authentic Montana experience, stay here. Gina, the owner, is so kind and responsive. You will love it. We cannot wait to come back!

The Perfect Home Base for Glacier Family Vaca!
This property is amazing! Everything is extremely clean and tidy. The open concept was great for my 1 year old to play. The full bath with a tub was perfect as well. There are two bathrooms and you can run both at the same time with warm water. The softened water was a really nice plus! Gina is a great host, from inquiring about staying, to the day we left, she stayed in contact with us and ensured we had everything that we needed even the day she was on vacation herself. That was impressive! You can tell she genuinely cares about ensuring you have an amazing time. The kitchen was well stocked to include two crockpots which was great hiking all day and coming home to an easy meal. The town is really close by to get groceries which was RARE when we were looking to find a place to stay. It’s quiet and peaceful during the day and night yet 5 minutes from the West Glacier gate. This is the only rental property around so there’s not a ton of traffic, it’s peaceful. Being able to park and drive right up to the home is another major plus for loading and unloading the car everyday. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and enjoying the nature and quiet breeze and cuddling up on the couches and watching movies.

Clean comfortable stay in a cabin near Glacier Park
We had a delightful stay while visiting Glacier. The cabin was immaculate. Cleanliness is important to us and it exceeded our expectations. We had our long term friends from Washington State meet us there. The cabin was perfect for our needs. The two separate bathrooms were a plus. The beds were comfortable and we all slept great. We also enjoyed the large table for evenings with a puzzle or games.

Great location for Glacier
Nice, clean, location close to the park. I thought it was more isolated but it was in a neighborhood. It was very quiet though. 2 good size bedrooms and baths. Coffee was provided which was great. No soap for a shower or bath but that was the only thing we lacked.
