About this property

Abbot Creek Cottage, Only 10 Minutes from Glacier National Park!

This quaint cottage is a cozy base for your next Glacier Park vacation. Come for a rejuvenating, getaway. Homey 2 bedroom cottage that sleeps 4 comfortably. 10 minutes from West Glacier National Park and 10 minutes from Hungry Horse Reservoir.

This updated cottage has slate floors in the entryway, solid wood floors in the kitchen, and original wood floors in the living room. The living room has a gas fireplace to take the chill out of the cool evenings. A large covered patio offers glimpses of Abbot Creek and is the perfect place to 'wine' down after a day of sightseeing in Glacier Park, hiking, climbing, fishing or visiting Hungry Horse Dam a short 5 miles from the Cottage. Every Thursday evening at 5:30 there is a Columbia Falls Community Market complete with farmers market, ice cream, live music and dancing and micro breweries. One may even spend a day shopping in Columbia Falls, Whitefish, Kalispell, or attend a play at the Bigfork Summer Theatre.. These are all well within an hour of the Cottage.
The Cottage has private off-street parking large enough to accommodate a boat and trailer for use on the many area lakes.

The property has 70 feet of beautiful Abbot Creek running along its southern border. Abbot Creek is a year-round babbling mountain stream that can soothe your stress and rejuvenate your soul. My 11 siblings and I fished this lovely stream when we were youngsters! We are working on making the Creek accessible to our guests but it is not yet complete. Enjoy the sounds and sights for now!!

This home sits on the original homestead property and belonged to my Great Aunt who was a Martin and the daughter of the original homesteaders of Martin City. Martin City is the small town nearest the property. Gabriela’s Father helped set the first turbine in the historic Hungry Horse Dam which is nearby.

Enjoy a scenic 10 minute drive to Glacier National Park. The Middle Fork of the Flathead river runs about a mile from the Cottage and is a wonderful rafting, and kayaking venue. Columbia Falls, Whitefish, and Kalispell, are all within a 15-40 minute drive.

Amenities include:
Large kitchen/dining area
Well stocked kitchen with appliances, utensils, dishes, silverware and towels.
Some basic foodstuffs
Roomy living room
2 bedrooms with queen beds

We visited Glacier with friends, and this cute, comfortable cottage was our home away from home for a few days. The property is beautiful and the cottage is well kept. It was perfect being such a short drive from the West Glacier entrance to the park. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great location! It was clean with necessities provided! It also had a beautiful yard, a nice fire pit with benches surrounding it, and a nice back patio with a grill, table, and chairs. Gabriela leaves gifts for each customer, which was a special surprise! It felt like a “home away from home”, and it was very helpful to have a dishwasher, washer, and dryer to use!

Check in and out was really easy. Place was immaculate and stocked with everything you might need, there was even bear spray and bug spray! Location was ideal and right off the main highway but surprisingly quiet without highway noise. We saw deer almost every morning one evening and a wild turkey all right from the cottage. Highly recommend this cottage and would definitely stay there again. We did arrive at night and it's not easy to find in the dark your first time but the directions were very detailed and spot on!

About the host

Hosted by Gabriela Egging

Host profile image
Abbott Creek Cottage belonged to my great Aunt Rose, who was the daughter of the Martin family, who were the original homesteaders, inside the Canyon. It sits on part of the original homestead. The Cottage has been updated many times but the living room is the original cabin.
My father set the first turbine in Hungry Horse Dam just 4 miles from the Cottage. As a little girl my brothers, sisters and I would fish in Abbott Creek and sail our paper boats on feast days... Many a summer afternoon was spent walking the Creek to the Middle Fork of the Flathead River and picnicking along the way! A rough trek by any standards!
I was raised in Martin City, one of twelve children! My parents owned a grocery store, meat market and lockers near mile marker #144! The new highway took our home and store.
