Glacier

The house was great, owners and property manager were excellent. Only complaints are the picture of the house is deceiving, it appears you are all alone when you are actually right on top of the owners house and two other properties. Only complaint about the actual house was lots of cobwebs in corners and above light fixtures, otherwise very clean. I would definitely recommend to others for convenience to West Glacier, owners/ property manager were awesome, house was perfect for our large party.

Beautiful house in a wonderful location

This property was great for visiting Glaciers National Park! The house was clean, it had books and other resources that we could use for researching our hikes in GNP, and the kids loved the recreation room downstairs. We had a fantastic visit!

Great Location, But Disappointed with Security and ComfortThe location of this property was definitely a highlight—convenient and close to entrance to the park. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn’t match the price point.There were several issues that made our stay uncomfortable. Most concerning was the back door, which didn’t lock properly, raising serious security concerns. Additionally, we were surprised to find someone living on-site, which was never mentioned in the listing. This lack of disclosure felt misleading.The master bedroom’s AC unit was another major problem—it was incredibly loud, starting up like a freight train every time it kicked on. It woke us up repeatedly throughout the night, significantly affecting our sleep.The outdoor grill is falling apart as well.With some attention to security and transparency—as well as a quieter AC system—this could be a great rental. But for now, the issues we experienced made it feel overpriced for what we got.

Wonderful and spacious

This is a wonderful home! We really enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for everyone both inside and out on the porch or deck or in the yard. The owner was very kind and checked in on us in case we needed anything. The internet was not available while we were there, otherwise I would have rated it 5 stars for everything. I highly recommend this property if you are visiting West Glacier.

Outstanding home

We loved staying in this house. The kids had a blast with the mini soccer table and Jenga. Glacier national park was a dream come true vacation. We were able to make meals in the large kitchen and have plenty of room to relax in the rest in the rest of the home. In addition, we enjoyed eating out on the porches which allowed us to take in scenery we most definitely will not see when we head back home. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

A great Glacier stay!

We recently spent a week in Glacier and couldn't have been happier to have this place to call home after long days of hiking, running, and exploring in general. The house easily accommodated the 8 people in our group with enough comfy beds and bathrooms for all; the kitchen and dining room were spacious and allowed us to plan the next days activities while making dinner as a group; the outdoor porch and patio were great places to relax and get ready for the next day; ice cream was just a short walk away in West Glacier. Bonus for any hikers: two cans of bear spray came with the house. If you're planning a trip to Glacier NP and are looking for a great house in a great location, this is your place!

Great house and wonderful location!

We had an amazing time during our trip to Glacier National Park! The house was spacious and met all our needs. There were 6 of us in our family group - 4 adults and 2 children. We enjoyed the comfortable beds, the well-equipped kitchen, the Roku TVs for watching movies in the evening after hiking during our days. There was plenty of room to spread out and relax. We also enjoyed sitting on the deck and making S'mores on the front porch. The kids liked the game area downstairs and also enjoyed the game area outside. The location of the house in West Glacier was very convenient - there were shops and cafes in West Glacier and a large Super 1 Foods grocery store about 15 minutes away. We enjoyed driving to East Glacier and to different areas of the park to sight-see and hike. Our only real disappointment was that a large part of the Going to the Sun Road was not open, but we still saw many incredibly beautiful parts of Glacier Park! Our hosts were very helpful and accommodating! All of this made our trip an amazing adventure!

Glacial accommodation

A large lodging with many amenities. One small concern. Photos suggest an expansive view, which if from the building is blocked by forest. Excellent location and communication.

Perfect Location

The house was well appointed and comfortable for our party of six. Great access to Glacier and other local activities. Lot’s of room and very clean throughout. Dining was rather limited in West Glacier, however kitchen facilities were excellent for local meals. Columbia Falls, 20 minutes drive had many dining options. Easy to book and the local manager Bill was accommodating and helpful. We would have enjoyed a longer stay if the travel plans allowed.

Fantastic Stay

Very comfortable, clean and peaceful place. A great choice for a large family or several friends or couples traveling together. Well laid out and well stocked. One of the best features is its location immediately outside of Glacier NP, which saves a tremendous amount of time and avoids a good deal of the typical lineup of cars queuing to enter.
