About this property

South Fork of Spotted Bear Retreat

Take the road less traveled. A short distance on a winding, dirt road through the woods will take you to this quiet, secluded destination. This little get-away is nestled in the heart of the woods, yet is only 9.2 miles from West Glacier, Montana - the entrance to Glacier National Park.

The Flathead River here in northwest Montana is designated as a “Wild and Scenic River” and includes the North Fork, Middle Fork and South Fork - the names of the three vacation units available in this triplex cabin. With three private units, this is a great option for group travelers wanting to be together and yet still have their own space, or can be utilized singularly and privately. There are two 6” thick walls and two dead-bolting doors separating each unit.

With the quiet woods all around, this is a great place to unwind and settle in.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin! It's clean, well maintained and spacious. We loved the location...off the beaten path but close enough to groceries, restaurants and the entrance to the park. Our host was responsive and accommodating.

We stayed at Spotted Bear retreat South Fork while visiting Glacier National Park. The place was very clean and well stocked. It was nice having laundry facilities to wash clothes after hiking all day. As well as having a deal bathtub to soak in . The property is not far from the west entrance to the park and most of the trails we were interested in hiking. There was great communication from the host prior to arriving and leaving. The host was also quick to answer questions I had after arriving. The second bedroom is a bit small, but that was fine. Overall, great place to stay and hope to return in the future with other family members.

Great stay

We had a great stay and this property was very nice! It was very close to the west entrance to the park. The only thing we wished it had but didn’t was a toaster for the kitchen and an outlet for the loft area.

We loved our stay. The cabin is beautiful, in a nice secluded spot near Glacier NP. We were very comfortable and the host was great and helpful. We had a bit of an issue finding it at first, but the host was quick to respond and helped us out. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely Place

My family and I really enjoyed our time here. The beds were comfortable and they provided extra bedding. It’s a little ways from the main road, which made it very nice and quiet. Close to the West Glacier Entrance and other activities outside of the park. Even bear spray was provided! We would stay here again.

Relax and recharge

This property was just what we needed to relax after days of exploring the park and areas. The property was clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. We were situated between GNP and Flathead Lake, our 2 desired destinations with short drives to each. The host was responsive to any questions/needs and readily available. Highly recommend this property.

Easy to find, check in a breeze, very close to GNP. Best of all was a wonderfully comfortable bed! John was very helpful and friendly. The place is brand new and just perfect for us to hike the park. We will come back for sure!

Lovely Stay

We truly enjoyed our stay at this property. I must say, first driving to it I was a little nervous, the property is down dirt roads back in the forest. However, once we arrived we were very happy. Owner lives near property, our kids had a blast playing every evening with his kids. We would definitely stay here again!

Great secluded lodgings but easy access to Glacier!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The owner is super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The cabin is just perfect for a stay at Glacier, great hiking during the day, and a beautiful deck to sit on at night and view the stars. The cabin had everything we needed to make meals at home after long days of hiking. Don’t miss this gem!

Quiet Mountain Escape

Incredible property, tucked back in the countryside, a mere 20ish minutes from the west entrance to Glacier NP. Close river access less than 5 minutes away. Price was perfect. Host was incredibly responsive and accommodating. Would recommend to anyone I met that planned a trip to northwestern Montana.
