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!

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.

Perfect location for trip to Glacier

Great location. Extra space was nice. Ability to do laundry in the middle of a road trip was helpful. Utilized kitchen and foosball table. Appreciated the helpful tips in the hosts' welcome book. Our family of 4 had a great time!

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.

Glacier Ridge Resort

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.

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!

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.

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!

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
