About this property

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 home is also on the property and we may be there during your stay. The homes are not within eyesight of each other so you will still have lots of privacy**

****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!!!

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.

Wonderful

We stayed here for our honeymoon and we fell in love with this place. The cabin was beautiful and sparkly clean, and the property with the river is beautiful. The cabin was very well stocked also. Sue was so easy to communicate with, we loved our time here and we will definitely be back!

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

Perfect little cabin

We stayed at the one bedroom cabin on the property. It was beautiful inside and had everything we needed to cook meals in and was a great little place to relax in the evenings. Susan was a great host and very responsive. Definitely will stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Sue MacLean

We're from Canada and we bought this property after years of searching for the perfect spot, well we found it!! We come down to Montana a fair bit but decided to share it with others as we can't be down here on a full time basis.

Why they chose this property

I first discovered this spot as a teenager when my dad used to take me rafting on the Middle Fork of the Flathead. There is something magical about this place and if you've ever been to this area I'm sure you would agree. We love to hike, fish and raft in the summer and snowshoe in the winter. This is our year round playground!! The mountains, wildlife and endless activities you can do are at your fingertips.

What makes this property unique

Location location location. You'll find very few properties that are on the Middle Fork of the Flathead which borders Glacier National Park. We are 24 miles from the West Glacier Park Entrance and 35 miles from the East Glacier Park entrance. There area also hundreds of thousands of acres of Great Bear Wilderness directly across the highway so you can pick your playground!!
