About this property

Welcome to our Northfork Cabin! We are now accepting reservations for the 2024 season. Book early as we only have limited dates available! We encourage Fall visits when traffic and congestion in Glacier Park is down. September and October are excellent times to visit Glacier Park.

The home is a newly-constructed (2011) Appalachian-style log-sided home of 2000 square feet, 29X40 with two covered 8-foot-deep front and rear porches and a 3/4 loft. It is located on a one (1) acre parcel facing the North Fork of the Flathead River, a National Wild and Scenic River corridor and looks across the river into Glacier National Park. It is truly a unique getaway for those seeking solitude, privacy and the convenient access to nearby wilderness and national park recreational opportunities. Our cabin comfortably accommodates four (4) people maximum. No additional non-contracted guests are permitted. No exceptions.

We are 15 minutes from West Glacier, 10 minutes from Columbia Falls, 20 minutes from Whitefish and Whitefish Mountain Ski Area and 30 minutes from Kalispell and Glacier Park International Airport. Shopping for anything from groceries to antiques is available in these nearby trendy, Western-friendly communities.

Outstanding wildlife viewing opportunities await you here. We have frequent observations of elk, deer, black and grizzly bears, moose, wolves, river otter, beaver, coyotes, wolverines and, of course, all manner of waterfowl, raptors and songbirds like, golden and bald eagles, kingfishers, osprey, Steller's Jays, tundra swans, geese, mergansers, Sandhill Cranes, Great Blue Herons, barred and great-horned owls, ruffed grouse, red-tailed hawks and many others. This is prime wildlife habitat made only more enjoyable by the convenient location of the cabin adjacent to the scenic river corridor.

About the host

Hosted by Alanna J. Ober

My husband and I are Montana natives and have spent our lifetimes surrounded by the mountains of Northwest Montana. We believe that we are at the center of one of the most spectacularly beautiful areas to vacation. We designed our cabin as our retirement getaway and a haven for those seeking either adventure or relaxation...or both! It is a convenient jumping off place for nearby wilderness or national park recreation. Our primary residence is nearby Kalispell, MT. I am a registered nurse and my husband is a retired teacher/library director/retired seasonal Glacier Park ranger.

Why they chose this property

The property has been in our family for the past forty five years. We constructed the cabin to take advantage of the scenery adjacent to the river and as a weekend retreat and retirement home. We purposely maintain the property in a pristine and natural setting to correspond with the scenic river corridor believing that our guests will appreciate the simplicity that we do. The cabin is fully furnished. It is our summer home that we open for limited rental bookings. All you need is your own groceries.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the diverse wildlife viewing on the river corridor and the unsurpassed quiet associated with the private setting combined with all the modern amenities.

We include several cannisters of OC-10 pepper spray to borrow if you intend to hike and recreate in bear country.

Since subdivisions are no longer allowed on the National Wild and Scenic River corridor, we are uniquely grandfathered in along with six other adjacent properties with frontage on the North Fork of the Flathead River.

We even include the neighborhood feral/friendly cat, "River". No charge. If he warms up to you, you may have a friend for life. Or, alternatively, he may follow you home...
