Highly recommend staying here. The property was spotless and the location is perfect. Enough seclusion to be relaxing but not far from towns and, of course, Glacier.

Super clean little cabin that had everything we could ask for. Our host had left a bottle of wine and a nice note knowing it was our anniversary. Couldn’t have had a better stay!
This “Lifes A Bear” retreat was as beautiful and relaxing as the pictures show. The peaceful forest along with the relaxing hot tub was the perfect setting to unwind after enjoying the many attractions in close proximity of the property. Many thanks to the host and hostess for making this vacation one of our best ever!

Beautiful quiet inviting cabin. Loved seeing the wildlife all around us.Great location, with everything we needed for our stay. Owners thought of everything vacationer’s might want or need. Highly recommended.
We greatly enjoyed our time staying at the cabin. If visiting Glacier NP or skiing at Whitefish resort, it is a great place to stay! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and very homey.
Loved it!

Everything was great. Cabin was clean. Hot tub was nice. Wished we would have been a little more remote. Did not like the view with house directly behind us.
7 night stay, didn't want to leave. Best rental we've stayed at--clean, well supplied, lovely decor. Loved mountains, trees, Flathead Lake, wildlife, nearby Bison Range.

This wonderful cabin has everything needed for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. We stayed two nights on our way to Yellowstone and wished we had booked it for longer. The hosts even left cheesecake and wine chilling in the fridge to help us celebrate our 40th anniversary! Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us!
