Such a wonderful and inviting stay. The cabin was adorable and met the needs of my family, which included a dog. We didn’t get to use the ponds, but they were nice to walk along. The landscape is amazing.

The check in and out process was seamless. We arrived late and it was no issue at all. The owner was very responsive to the chat in the app. They also met us while we were unloading to give some advice and additional info. It was exactly what we wanted. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else if/when we come back.

This was the perfect base camp for our family to explore Glacier National Park. It is a beautiful little spot with Mountain View’s and plenty of activities when we weren’t exploring the nearby park. The cabin fit our family of five just fine. Although it would’ve been lovely to have a bathroom in the cabin, we knew going into it that it would be shared. We were pleasantly surprised that the bathrooms were kept very clean and well stocked with towels and supplies. We didn’t have any issues waiting to use the facilities. In fact we really didn’t run into too many other people while we stayed based on the limited number of cabins they have. There were extra supplies, including bug spray, bear spray, etc. for us to use during our stay that was really helpful. Our kids loved the pond for kayaking and paddle boarding! Overall, I think this was a great experience and an amazing value.

Great place to stay

This was an excellent stay. A lot of activities on the property that are free and easily accessible to guest (cornhole, badminton, volleyball, fishing, fire pit, paddleboarding, and nice grill). Hosts were great. Very responsive and super friendly. Stay was in a beautiful location about 30 minutes from the west side of glacier national park.

Gorgeous Views and Convenient

We are a family of four that traveled to Glacier for the first time. The cabin was the perfect place to relax after time on the road. All beds were comfortable and the cabin itself was clean. The trail that leads to the bathrooms was lit and easy at night. We loved the location with easy and quick access to the park and nearby town.

Amazing spot

Beautiful land with charming cabins, nice bathhouse and laundry. Small lake/pond with kayak and SUP. Beautiful sunset with mountains behind, bonfire in the evening. Highly recommend! We did not get a welcome email we were supposed to get, but once we got there the hosts were available and accomodating.

Very clean and simple. Peaceful and relaxing.

Property was nice. Cabin was very well-kept. The only thing missing was running water/toilet in the cabin. It was not convenient to walk to the common facility to shower/use the restroom (we knew what we signed up for, but it ended up being more than we bargained for). Otherwise, we had a very nice stay!

Fun

The people who were there seemed to really enjoy it but it probably isn’t for everyone. Think more hotel room with no bathroom. I can’t imagine telling children that have to make a nature call at night to walk the 25-50 yards. Cooking is kind of strange also if a bunch of people want to eat at the same time. That said, I liked it and the owner was really nice.

All around peaceful and pleasant stay

We truly enjoyed our stay in the Ponderosa cabin. Jenna was there to greet us when we arrived. She was so helpful to us for our entire stay. We loved the "camping with comfort" feel. A full kitchen is located in the same building as the bathrooms, where we were able to wash our dishes. There are many items in the shared kitchen for guests to use. I missed this detail in the description, so I wanted to emphasize this positive feature. Also, the washer and dryer are located in that same building and are very nice...well worth the fee it costs to use them. My adult children played with their 12 year old sister as if they were all the same age in the ponds and on the property. They had a ball! We loved making new memories together! We hope to visit again sometime in the future!
