This was an excellent place to stay at! We loved the cabin and the area it was in. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to stay in the area. Great location for any sightseeing.
The property was well stocked with kitchen supplies, including condiments, the furniture was comfortable, and the barbecue worked very well.The location was excellent for access to Glacier National Park, and was close to shopping and local restaurants. It was a really great stay at a very well kept and comfortable property. Also, very quiet at night.
The cabin was perfect in every way. The bathrooms were fully stocked and the kitchen had the necessary tools for making an enjoyable meal. We were close to markets, restaurants and best of all the entrance to Glacier. After hiking all day it was a pleasure to come back to the cabin and relax with the family. Thank you Doyle for a wonderful stay.
We were a group of four adults who spent two nights at this cabin. It was an excellent stay! Very comfortable bedding and lots of nice touches, such as a cornhole game, an adult-sized tree swing, a nice propane grill, and a very quiet setting. Each night we ate outside on the deck. We would definitely stay here again!!
The house was a lovely cabin not far from the park. Lots of amenities. Kitchen well stocked even with enough coffee supplies for our entire stay. The beds were very comfortable. Nice fluffy towels in the bathrooms.

Thank you, Janet! It was our pleasure to host you at Spotted Bear.
My 77 year old parents had a wonderful time and enjoyed the piece a quite of Glacier. They also love the 2 local squirrels on the property. They had a wonderful time.
This was a lovely historic cabin in the woods not far from West Glacier. It is fully modern and a great place to stay for a family or someone looking for peace and solitude. This cabin would be a fantastic location for a writing or meditation personal retreat.
We enjoyed our stay so much! The cabin was large enough for my husband, 2 kids and I and was well maintained and clean. The property is secluded and the scenery is beautiful. We would definitely choose to stay here again!
