lovely property! great location, value, and very spacious. because of the layout (the bathroom connects the bedroom to the primary kitchen/living area), would recommend it to a couple or friends who are very comfortable with one another.

This was our first Vrbo experience, and it was a great stay! The price was VERY reasonable for the location, and its distance (or lack thereof) to both West (30m) and East Glacier (1.5hr). Host was great and it came with bear spray which we thankfully didn’t need:)

Great location and good quality accommodations. The moisture in the cabin was a bit high, but other than that we loved it. Great grill for cooking and plenty of kitchen equipment.

We loved this tiny cabin. It was Cozy, clean and had a comfortable bed. There were plenty of board games and a shuffleboard table which was a nice surprise. It was about 25-30 minutes from West Glacier and at least 1.5 hours from East. It is close to Goat Lick overlook which was nice and convenient. The shower in the cabin has great pressure and hot water but very tiny and the soap /shampoo dispenser placement is oddly located making it very awkward to shower. I am a small individual and it was like performing an acrobat routine to shave. However, we would stay here again.
