The cabin is in a secluded site. It is peaceful & quiet with a gorgeous view of Glacier mountains from the back deck. The cabin is comfortable, clean & well stocked. It is centrally located between Two Medicine entrance & East Glacier entrance. The host is very nice & is available if needed. This is one of my favorite rentals. I highly recommend this cabin near the Glaciers.

This place was a real unexpected treat. Chose it for logistical reasons, ended up really enjoying it. James is proactive and helpful. The house is quaint and ideal for our family of 4 (3 beds total). We saw deer and moose during our one night. There is plenty to do without internet (cell service worked OK - but not well enough for me to work from the house without internet).Only 2 regrets - we didn't learn about the North American Indian Days in Browning (close by) until it was too late. Heard we missed out from many folks. Second regret was not spending 2 nights at this house.For context, here was our quick itinerary, which was almost perfect. We came into the area on Friday afternoon and went to St. Mary lake for a boat ride & hike. Stayed in this place Friday night, then Saturday did the Going-to-the-Sun road westbound and stayed in Whitefish. Staying here and going to Many Glacier one day, St. Mary another, and Browning for Indian Days would have been ideal.

Beautiful location

The house is wonderful and James is an incredibly accommodating host. This trip was an educational field trip for students (and chaperones) and this home was the perfect place to stay. We began our nature course at the house prior to entering Glacier National Park. The home’s proximity to the park and it’s quiet location make it a perfect destination for teavelers.

Don't stay anywhere else

James has done a terrific job with this house. It has plenty of room for a couple or a couple with 2-3 children. Contrary to past reports we did have AT&T cell service part of the time. The place was super clean and well furnished. There is no television and that is a big plus. Views out of each side of house were great, and unbelievable. It is close to three of the entrances on the east side of Glacier Park. I cannot see any reason to stay anywhere else when visiting the east side of Glacier National Park. You have an entire furnished house for less than a hotel room in the area. The only negative is that James' description of the drive way is a little on the mild side It is an adventure in itself. But that helps keep it private. James, we really enjoyed out days out there. Thanks!

Secluded cabin close to Glacier

We absolutely loved this cabin and the owner James who has put so much work into the place. The cabin worked well for our family of 4 with the two kids sleeping in the sunroom on the futon and extra rollaway bed. The kids loved James' pet goat and cat who would come to the deck for treats. The picture windows everywhere gave great views and the electric fireplace in the bathroom was much appreciated. The house was so well stocked with everything we could possibly need. It was an easy drive to Two Medicine and St Mary entrances to the Park, a little further to Many Glacier, but well worth it for wildlife viewing. We found bear scat on the trail behind the cabin, but never did see it! Maybe next time!

Gorgeous area

The area is beautiful. James has outfitted the house extremely well so I had everything I needed for cooking (we made all of our meals.) The driveway is worse than I had imagined and we are used to driving pretty bad roads and have a 4WD big pickup truck. James is lovely.

This property is a little piece of heaven. It’s a perfect ending to a day in Glacier. James is the perfect host-the cabin has everything from a fully stocked kitchen to full size washer and dryer. The views are amazing from every window in the house and we saw deer and moose daily. We will definitely return!! Lots of peace and solitude!!

Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy

Nice place to stay, but beware of the driveway leading to the property.

I did not appreciate James’s lack of clear communication regarding the driveway leading 1/2 mile up to the property. Especially; considering I was traveling with my 8-year old daughter and we arrived after dark expecting to be able to drive up to the house at 8:30 pm, only to suddenly realize that the driveway is not suitable for a Toyota Prius. Sadly though, there was no mention of it in the ad or in any email communication between us, because I double checked these facts upon arrival thinking I had misread either the ad or email. The only mention was in an email that stated “Rutted Gravel Road.” I have driven on rutted gravel roads in my life and the driveway is a cow pasture which requires a High Level Vehicle. Because I wanted a full refund he attempted to come up with solutions, via cell phone to help us and to avoid providing a refund. Regrettably, there was no solution to be found at 8:30 pm at night; nor was he willing to issue any refunds so I could secure better housing for my daughter and I. Consequently, my daughter and were able to very slowly and carefully drive about 1/4 mile in and then walked the last 1/4 mile into the property around 10:30 pm. Now, what hurts and angers me as a parent is that my daughter was terrified because we were walking in total darkness at 10:30 pm to a house that we hoped was the right location in the middle of Glacier. Unfortunately, the flash light on a cell phone doesn’t do much to illuminate a darkened night. Then, after arriving to the house, I made several additional trips, back to the car, hauling our belongings to the house so my daughter and I could get ready for bed which was around 12:30 am. Then the next day, James texted me and allowed me to use his four wheel drive pickup so I could bring the remaining items to the house. But during the 6 day stay we walked back and forth to the car whenever we traveled from the property due to the truck no longer working. Finally, when an issue such as this occurs, VRBO will not intervene and assist with a refund, nor are they willing to assist in finding a place to sleep in case of an emergency such as this. The customer service representative said, “It is between you and the owner. There is nothing that we can do.” And his decision not to assist that night made a bad situation even worse. And their book with confidence guarantee is really a joke as well; consequently, it is a renter beware arrangement

Great location, great for families

Stayed 6 nights in July, 2019 with 3 adults, 16yo, 12yo, and 10yo very comfortably. Well stocked with all needed amenities, very convenient washer and dryer. My kids functioned as dishwashers. There is spotty cell service and no WiFi, so don’t plan to work on vacation. James was very responsive before and during the stay, with good recommendations for hikes, shortcuts, and wildlife. Great location for the east side of GNP. Two Medicine ~ 20 min St Mary ~ 35 min Logan Pass - 1hr 15 min Many Glacier ~ 1hr (via Browning) West Glacier ~ 2hr 15 min None of these drives felt very long because of the amazing scenery. House itself was comfortable without AC in the evening (we weren’t there during the day; out enjoying the park). Overnight was chilly with the windows open. Warm blankets/linens provided. Beautiful views from all windows; keep the lights off when using the bathroom overnight for a great view of stars! Location felt safe and secure, in the middle of a beautiful meadow, with the owner’s home close, but hidden by trees. The driveway is accurately described in other reviews; difficult to navigate; this can be fun if you’ve got the right attitude, but does add on some travel time. Overall, a wonderful rental in a magnificent location. We feel lucky to have found it, and plan to come back!

Amazing views!

We loved our stay at the cabin. The views from every window were spectacular! We enjoyed watching the prairie dogs and were hoping to see bear and moose. We did catch a glimpse of a moose the last night of our stay! The driveway to the cabin is really rough! You need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get to the cabin. James has the cabin stocked with everything you might need!!! From binoculars to bear spray to a well equipped kitchen!!! Loved being able to have our dogs stay. They loved roaming around the property. The cabin is very seclude which is what we were looking for and only about a 30 minute drive to Glacier. A wonderful place to stay while visiting Glacier.

Clean and beautiful!

We loved our stay at the cabin near East Glacier. It was close to the east side of the park, so we didn't waste any time driving places. The view was spectacular! We hiked to the hills above the cabin, and we could see for miles. We woke up to two moose in our front yard one day! Everything that we may have needed was readily available. We loved our stay and would love to go back some day!

Hard to leave!

My family fell in love with this place! Owner communicates well and is very generous and thoughtful. He let my parents use an old truck to get past the driveway (they drive a Chevy Malibu, our Toyota Highlander was fine, just very bumpy, if we went very slowly). We really appreciated how James went above and beyond! As for the cabin...my kids, parents, husband and I all loved it. The views are gorgeous. The cabin was very clean. Plenty of towels, linens, soap, and toilet paper. LOVED having a washer and dryer and took advantage of that. Most of us trekked up the hill on the property several times. We took binoculars and *think* we saw a grizzly bear but are not positive. Bear or no bear, the hill is cool and a great place to look for wildlife. My kids named the hill, Hilbert. :) We did find clear bear tracks by the cabin the size of a women’s size 9 hiking boot. We visited East Glacier daily and saw 8 moose in all. Loved East Glacier even more than West because there were far fewer people when we were there. Thanks for the awesome experience, I would love to come back!

About the host

Hosted by James Latyszewski

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Michigan. When I was young I traveled to Yosemite, California and was blown away by the mountains, waterfalls and wildlife. Ever since, I have spent all of my summers near national parks like Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, Arches, Acadia and Mesa Verde. In the wintertime I enjoy living in exotic tropical locations.

Why they chose this property

This property has an amazing view of the mountains and is centrally located to all four east side entrances into Glacier National Park. It is also conveniently located between St. Mary, Browning and East Glacier. Out of all the places I've lived and visited, this is the most tranquil, peaceful and relaxing.

What makes this property unique

Some benefits for staying here are:
You will not hear cars on the road or trains passing nearby, like in town.
You will hear great horned owls, frogs and coyote.
You will not smell trash and see roaming dogs like in town.
You will smell fresh, clean air and possibly see one of the friendly neighbors.
You will not see buildings or many people, just nature. You will have your own private area.
You will constantly have an ever changing 360 degree panoramic view of the horizon. The clouds and colorful skies are astounding with the mountains in view, especially during sunrise and sunset. The nights are particularly peaceful and unique with the cloud-like Milky Way overhead and minimal light pollution.
Any night you can watch shooting stars and occasionally see the Aurora Borealis.
Moose, deer, rabbits, pine martens and squirrels are commonly seen in the yard. Once in a while you'll see bears, wolves and mountain lions.
It is a fantastic place to bird watch. Eagles, hawks, osprey, great horned owls, swallows, mountain blue birds and humming birds are frequently seen.
There is great drinking water from a 150' deep well that is feed by an aquifer straight out of Glacier National Park.
