About this property

Private Guest House - Ten Minutes to Glacier National Park

The Spotted Bear guest house is located on the edge of a meadow along Spotted Bear Road in a private setting on the Foley Family's Abbott Valley Homestead. With three bedrooms, (King, Queen, Full) two baths, a fully appointed kitchen, dining area and living room with fireplace, this is a great place to fully relax after a day in the Park! Extra amenities include a full laundry, WiFi, seasoned larch for firepit and complimentary bear spray.

The Spotted Bear has a large yard, colorful flowers, with a fire pit and a patio off the kitchen with a gas BBQ. All you need are groceries and beverages. Shopping is local and very convenient. This is an older home that has been fully refurbished, dedicated to guests, with all modern conveniences for a great vacation.

Abbott Valley Homestead offers seven vacation rentals with one, two and three bedroom rentals each located in a private setting near creeks, forests and meadows, all comfortably convenient to the Park. Each vacation home has a fully appointed kitchen, full bath(s), linens, laundry facilities, electric heat and some with fireplaces. Two cabins, Mickeys (2br/1ba) and Baptiste (1+br/1ba) are authentic homestead log cabins, rustic but fully updated with all modern amenities. Millhouse, Spotted Bear and Jaybird's are three bedroom/2bath homes. The interiors are beautifully updated. Cell service is good and WiFi is free. Each unit offers privacy, however, several can be rented with a group in mind for family reunions and weddings.
Located two miles off U.S. Highway 2, eight miles southwest of Glacier National Park and 15 miles from Whitefish and Glacier International Airport, our vacation homes provide a comfortable base camp for exploring the best that northwest Montana has to offer.

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.

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!!

Peaceful cabin in the woods.

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.

Abbott Valley Homestead is a 250 acre property at the base of Desert Mountain. It is surrounded by Flathead National Forest. It is a stunning piece of property and very private, but actually conveniently located to take advantage of the Park and all that the Flathead has to offer.
