5 stars. A place with personality and a view you won’t forget.This property wasn’t about luxury or sheer size. It was about character, thoughtful touches, and an incredible setting.Our favorite feature was the loft bedroom. From the bed, we could look out at the sky, the trees, and the river running through the property. We also had access to the river itself, and walking down there each day was one of the highlights of our stay. The beautiful trees throughout the property made the whole place feel wonderfully peaceful.Inside, so many thoughtful touches made the space special. The sheets were clearly high-quality Egyptian cotton, and I have to mention the air fryer. I’ve never stayed in a rental with one before! It meant we could make surprisingly restaurant-quality steaks right at home.A charming, memorable place with a beautiful setting. Very close to Glacier National Park. We loved our stay and would happily come back.

Perfect base for exploring Glacier NP

Three-day family trip to explore Glacier NP, and this was the perfect base to do it from! Wonderful, well-appointed and cozy cabin just minutes from the west entrance, this was the perfect stay for our adventure. My only regret is not booking it for more nights.

The location was perfect for a Glacier trip. The house was very clean and very well stocked. Being right in the river was fun. I wish we had chairs to sit by the water but we didn’t have room in the car.The pizza at Glacier National Pizza, I think that’s the name, was fantastic.

River Retreat

This house is clean, comfortable and well appointed. It’s in a terrific location close to West Glacier but away from the crowds and noise. The house sits approximately 100 feet from the middle fork of the Flathead River. We enjoyed sitting on the spacious back porch and watching the occasional rafter float by. The working fireplace was an added treat. Check-in and check-out were hassle free.

Comfortable with your own river

How charming this place was. They even had lots of spices and some oils for cooking. We loved our stay at this river side home. Looking for rocks to skip was one of the highlights for me. I actually think the home is better in person than in the listing pics. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for having us.

Don’t buy bear spray!!!

We bought bear spray as we pulled into West Glacier ($50) and the saw the cabin was stocked. A must have for hiking but the ones left behind by other renters (not supplied by owner), including our, should work! We enjoyed our time at the property!!!

Thank you Eldon for your review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. We are sorry but do have to correct you on the bear spray. Our owners do in fact provide this amenity for our guests and the ones provided are from our owners. We are sorry you missed this information in our listing and amenity section we provide for our guests. Thank you for adding yours to the collection. We are sure future guests will feel very appreciative to have extra bear sprays to use on the trails.

Love this property

Amazing location! So close to everything yet tucked away to be quiet. The location ON the river is great. My family enjoyed evenings just walking along the river shore. We also enjoyed riding the provided bikes along the road, which was safe since it towards the end of a dead end road and no traffic. The house was great! Super organized!! Not only did it have everything you need, it was organized and easy to find!! Clean too. My only advice would be to bring a sleep mask if you’re sensitive to light while you sleep. The bed in the loft can get late night and early morning sunlight.

Amazing - the photos don’t do it justice!

My wife and I stayed with our two kids (2.5 and 16m) for a week and had a blast. Perfect location to get into the park for our daily adventures and close enough to get back home for nap although the kids were normally too excited to sleep. The house is extremely comfortable for relaxing. The access to the river was perfect for playing with the kids and sneaking some nap time water access. The pictures don’t do this house justice. It’s cozy and comfortable with many great features (master balcony and beautiful wrap around deck). We have so many fond memories with our kids from this trip, but also would’ve booked it for a romantic couples getaway.
