We loved our stay at this charming, cozy cabin! The location is an excellent base for exploring Glacier’s east side, especially Many Glacier. Our host was warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making our stay special. After a long day hiking Grinnell Glacier, coming back to the cabin’s peaceful setting was the perfect way to unwind. It felt like a retreat, not just a place to sleep. We would happily stay again—highly recommend!

We really appreciated the time we spent at this property. The host was very responsive when we ran into an unexpected property maintenance problem. Having an opportunity to have a friendly welcoming chat with both of them one afternoon was delightful. We love hiking in Glacier National Park so likely will return to make this remarkable little cabin our base camp.

Our hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect—just the right distance from the east side of Glacier National Park, making it easy to enjoy the park while still having a peaceful place to relax.The house was the perfect size for our family of four. The Wi-Fi worked great, which was especially appreciated since there is no cell service in the area. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and we all enjoyed restful nights of sleep after our daily adventures.Thank you both for helping make this trip so special. We made unforgettable memories here with our two young boys, and this will always be a place we remember fondly.

We absolutely loved our stay! The location near Babb was perfect for exploring Glacier National Park, with convenient access to both St. Mary and the Many Glacier area. It was an ideal home base for our adventures and made it easy to get an early start and maximize our time in the park.The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the accommodations had everything we needed to make our stay easy and enjoyable. The kitchen was especially well-equipped for preparing breakfast, packing lunches, and getting ready for a full day of exploring. Having those amenities made such a difference after long days on the trails.Our hosts were truly exceptional. They went above and beyond to provide helpful directions, recommendations for places to visit, and suggestions for hikes both within Glacier and in the surrounding area. Their local knowledge made our trip even more memorable and helped us discover some wonderful spots we might otherwise have missed.If you're looking for a comfortable, convenient place to stay while exploring the east side of Glacier National Park, we highly recommend this property. The location, comfortable bed, thoughtful amenities, and outstanding hospitality made it the perfect base for our trip. We would absolutely stay here again!

Amazing stay with the perfect location

We loved our stay at the Hikers Retreat. The hosts are exceptionally helpful, kind and knowledgeable of the local area. The home was very well equipped and comfortable. The location is perfect with quick access to the St Mary entrance and close proximity to Many Glacier, Two Medicine and even Waterton in Canada. We hope to come back soon and stay again!
