Glacier National Park vacation

The cabin was very clean and the property tidy. Theresa and Gary were excellent host. The property is located in a perfect location to access both the west and east gate to Glacier National Park

Perfect location for Glacier National Park

A wonderful property located between the West Entrance of GNP and the east side which makes it perfect for exploring all sides of the park. This spotless cabin was equipped with a full kitchen including cooking basics (oil, spices), satellite tv, dvd, washer/dryer including all detergents and basic toiletries. The host is very welcoming and creates the perfect balance of being available to you while also offering you your privacy. The property has plenty of space for a family to enjoy, including camp fire and horseshoes as well as a nice creek just a minute down the road. Would definitely recommend.

Nice log cabin

Great hosts, extremely well stocked, lovely deck. Be aware that trains are nearby and it’s a bit of a drive to east Glacier and Many Glacier. Beautiful authentic log cabin.

Absolutely Amazing

I can't say enough good things about our stay! Gary and Theresa were awesome and went out of their way to go above and beyond for us! We were treated like we were part of their family! The cabin was clean and cozy and well sound insulated. It had everything stocked in it you would need except for actual food, and in fact they gave us some of their own food! I would recommend staying here 10 out of 10 times every day of the week! Just make sure you stay for longer then three days because there is tons of stuff to do outdoors in the area!

Beautiful place to stay!

The cabin was beautiful inside and out. We had plenty of room for 3 adults and two teenagers. The location was great as well, midway between east and west GNP entrances. Theresa is a wonderful host. She and Apollo made us feel right at home. The cabin is very comfy and very well furnished with everything you need. We loved our stay here and would definitely choose this location again!
