A super cabin in a lovely peaceful location. The cabin has all you need for a comfortable stay, with a great BBQ grill on the deck overlooking the woods. It is in a great location for accessing the west and east side, with the east side location handy for entering the "going the sun" road. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Fully recommended!

The cabin was beautifly set up at a distance from other cabins which gave us our privacy. We had all the bedding and kitchen appliances we could ask for including waffle iron, mixer, and kettles. I can honestly say we had everything we needed including Bear Spray, fire wood, and hammocks.

Cabin was as described. Very clean and well furnished. The owner came and introduced himself. Gave us some ideas and recommendations on activities and places for a good meal in the area around Glacier National Park. Centrally located between the Eastern and Western side of Glacier National Park. Overall a lovely place to kick back and relax. 100% satisfied!!!

Perfect Montana getaway

Family and I had a great week staying at the cabin and enjoying both sides of glacier. We knocked out all the hikes we planned the first few days so we’re able to hang out and enjoy the cabin and some local trails on our last day. Cabin was exactly what my wife and I were looking for when we planned our trip and we would stay here again on future trips.

Best vacation we have ever had

This house was absolutely perfect. Between the location and the log cabin it was perfect. Scenery, peacefulness, cleanliness, etc. I can't say enough good things about Bear Creek Cabin. The location to Glacier National Park was between West and East entrances (East side was much better for scenery) Wayne and MJ went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and help us with directions, suggestions on places to go to see wildlife, etc. We are planning to come back to Bear Creek again and again.

Glacier National Park

Convenient to both the East and West entrances of the park. Had neighbors, but felt secluded and so very peaceful. Enjoyed watching the wildlife come into the yard and evenings around the fire pit.

Prefect

This cabin is perfectly located for exploring the Glacier NP area of Montana. It is a very managable distance from both the east and west gates, two medicine and many glacier areas. A cozy and quiet place to relax after a day of hiking or kayaking. The cabin is very clean and the kitchen is well stocked with anything you would need to cook a meal, including a grill and a firepit. The hosts are very helpful in making sure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay; including great suggestions on things to do in the area. We enjoyed our stay and hope to be able to return in the future.

Our stay at this cabin was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the charm, coziness, and peaceful surroundings. The cabin was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had every little detail thought out to make our stay comfortable.The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we slept so well after a full day of hiking. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the host even left us a yummy treat, wishing us a happy anniversary! The hosts went above and beyond with thoughtful touches and excellent communication, which made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. This cabin truly felt like a home away from home, and we left feeling refreshed and reconnected with nature. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and relaxation!

Hidden rural gem that the pictures do not do it justice.From the moment we drove in and Wayne happened to be driving by, he gave us wonderful tips on places to see and go. Both entrances to Glacier NP within easy driving distances. The property itself was amazingly peaceful. Very considerate welcome basket was much appreciated and enjoyed. We were even able to purchase a picture that MJ painted that will be a forever reminder of our time in Montana and their wonderful cabin in the woods. The forest drive near the home was very nice. We took another guests suggestion and got take out from Serranos restaraunt and were in agreement that their food was very good.

We absolutely 💯 loved Wayne’s cabin. It was such a perfect quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of the national park hotels. Great wildlife and nature too! Wayne was super nice and checked in with us too ask if he could pick up anything for us. Thank you Wayne we appreciate you!

Perfect Glacier Cabin!!

This cabin was the perfect retreat for our anniversary trip to Glacier National Park. It was pretty close to both East and West Glacier and was such a cozy, beautiful place to come back to after a long day of hiking and exploring. We really appreciated the hosts’ advice, hospitality, and check ins as well as all the amenities they provided us with (I.e bear spray, firewood, binoculars, etc). We will be back again for sure!!
