Incredible Mountain Views just Steps to the Flathead River

Surrounded with incredible mountain views, this charming cabin is located near the west entrance to Glacier National Park in the remote North Fork of the Flathead Valley in Polebridge, MT and is approximately 5 miles from the Canadian border.

Our cozy cabin is off-grid and situated in the ideal vacation spot to experience the untouched lands of the North Fork yet enjoy some of the conveniences of home. There is indoor 'on demand' hot water and a generator should electricity be occasionally needed. Our cabin also offers a full indoor bath, kitchen furnished with basic eating and cooking utensils, propane refrigerator, propane range, living area, dining area, etc. The ambiance is superb with the warmth of quaint propane wall sconces providing light each night. Linens & towels provided.

Sleeps 4 people comfortably (extra nightly charge for more than 4 guests). Futon folds out into a queen bed, bunk bed offers double bed on bottom & twin on top if needed.

Chairs are provided on the porch to relax & enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

The cabin is convenient to many North Fork attractions including The Polebridge Mercantile, Northern Lights Saloon/Restaurant and Glacier National Park. The 'MERC' provides groceries, fresh ground coffee and home baked treats (Danish, bread and sandwiches, etc,) gifts, gas, propane, film, fishing tackle and beer while the Northern Lights Saloon/Restaurant serves excellent food in a rustic style restaurant and pub. Glacier National Park is rich in wildlife and offers plenty of outdoor adventure with boating, hiking, biking, fishing, and cross country skiing.

Please note, this cabin (as well as all properties in the North Fork area) is off grid and cannot accommodate a CPAP machine or those with special medical conditions.

The North Fork Road is an unpaved mountain road and the condition is dependent upon the weather conditions. You can expect some potholes due to snow melt, etc. We recommend traveling in a truck or SUV.

Week of solitude

Beautiful setting—tucked in woods with beautiful view of mountains of Glacier. Just me and Nature. North Fork River was beautiful and short walk away. I had great access into Glacier as well as surrounding trails just to the West of Glacier. Cabin was exactly as described. It was clean, neat and cozy. Highly recommend! I plan to return.

great mountain views, peaceful, cozy polebridge cabin

we enjoyed our stay at this off-grid cabin! great mountain views, 5 min walk down by the flathead river, peaceful, cozy, comfy beds. We ate at both the northern lights saloon and home ranch bottoms and they had great food. The huckleberry bear claws and sticky buns were so yummy from the Polebridge Merc! We explored the north fork area and went to red meadow lake and bowman lake! Thank you so much for a great stay! We hope to be back some day! Glacier is AMAZING!

Refreshing!

Very Remote! Unplug and relax, this place was perfect for us! We hiked hard in east Glacier for the first 3 days of our trip, then finished the trip with 3 days here. It was perfect to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Lots of wildlife right out the front door! Kintla and bowman lakes are close and the Huckleberry bear claws in Polebridge are a must!

Great Cabin with an Amazing Mountain View

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The cabin was clean and had everything our family of four need for a few nights stay. We loved sitting on the porch to watch the sun come up over the mountains. We were able to meet the hosts and they were so kind and friendly. Would highly recommend and stay again.

Heaven on Earth in Montana

This property is absolutely stunning, with scenery and seclusion well worth the drive. The property manager was extremely responsive and provided thorough instructions prior to and upon our arrival. We took the walking path from the cabin to Flathead River and caught about 15 white fish and cutthroat trout within an hour. The cabin far exceeded our expectations, as it was well-stocked, very clean, and beautifully maintained. We hope to be back for a longer stay next time.

Great little cabin!

Cabin was great for my wife and myself, we stayed for 9 nights. Did quite a bit of cooking at the cabin and found kitchen to be sufficient. Great view of mountains from the dining table and from the front porch. Would gladly stay again!

Amazing rental property

Absolutely gorgeous! Amazing views, very secluded, close to river and close to glacier national park. Rough road up going up there, would definitely recommend SUV or truck. It is about an hour away from getting gas for your vehicle. I would recommend you filling up before going to glacier national park or when you leave the park for the next day. Worth the trip up there. You will not be disappointed.

Cozy little cabin

I cannot express how much my boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay. The views from the cabin were absolutely gorgeous. The cabin was spotless and the property manager responded very quickly to a question I had about access to the river. I've been visiting Montana since 2006 and I've been all over the state. This place is in my top 3 favorite places!! We will definitely be returning!!! I highly recommend!!!!

Glacier National Park

The cabin is very nice with amazing views. You do need to drive quite a few miles down a gravel road to get there. We enjoyed the peacefulness and saw some wildlife.

Wow, Just Wow.

We cannot express how magical and serene this property is. The home was bigger than expected! It was really special how remote the location is. The view was our favorite part. Don’t miss the sunset, it is truly breathtaking. The river is a short 2-3 minute walk and once you get there you have your own private cove. We cannot wait to come back.

We loved it!

If you are truly wanting to unplug from the rat race, this is your place. Without electronics you learn how to appreciate nature. Open the windows, pour a glass of wine, and soak it all in. We saw lots of deer and ground squirrels. We know there are bears in the vicinity but didn't see any. Be sure to grab some huckleberry bear claws in Polebridge on your way in and eat them for breakfast. Note: The Polebridge entrance to GNP is mostly for serious hikers. The roads are pretty rough and narrow. The hiking trails take you to the scenic lakes and such. If you are having trouble getting a pass for the West Glacier entrance, look up the Red Bus Tours. They are worth the money. Invest in a Thermacell if you plan to spend time on the porch. There are a few skeeters hovering about.

Cabin R & R

Wonderful place to end our backpacking/camping trip. Striking mountain views with peaceful privacy. Close enough to the National Park and Polebridge to visit with easy access , but still felt "far away" from it all. The propane was easy to use once you understand the directions which gave us a nice warm, much need shower. The lanterns were cozy and romantic and added a fun cabin atmosphere. We added another night to our reservation due to heavy rain and Johnnie got right back to us regarding our extended stay which elevated a lot of stress. So thank you!

Perfect Polebridge cabin!

We stayed at the Polebridge cabin for 5 nights in mid September and had a great time! I have spent quite a bit of time in Polebridge over the years and this spot is up there with the best. The cabin is clean and well maintained and very comfortable. Yes, it is on the small side, but I would suggest it is perfect for 2 people, even though it can sleep more. The owners are very quick to respond with answers to questions pre-arrival, and have pretty much thought of everything. The river access is great and we spent some quality time sitting in camp chairs on the river....it is about a 3 minute walk from the cabin. The area around the cabin is very private and while there are other properties in the area, we saw no other people on the road the cabin is on, near the cabin, or by the river. The view from the cabin is amazing! As for activities in the area, visiting the Merc and the Northern Lights are a must, as well as kayaking on either Kintla and Bowman lakes. There is also some great hiking to be had in this section of the park....if you are up for it (12 miles round trip), the Quartz Lake loop is a winner. I suspect some folks might think this cabin is a bit too remote for easy access to some of the more popular Glacier activities, but we think it's perfect location-wise and we like our privacy - just be sure you understand where Polebridge is and know that you will be several miles north of it. Having covered the entire park over the years, this section of Glacier is now our favorite, due to its remote location and lack of crowds. We will definitely seek this spot out in the future!!!

Polebridge cabin

The cabin was absolutely wonderful but the rotation was absolutely horrible. I know that it was said and it’s off and unpaved road but the distance wasn’t really clarified. In relationship to glacier national Park it was not a good location to stay at. We were so disappointed and the owner had no understanding for our difficult situation. My friend became very anxious because of how remote it was and how everyone in the area told us that there were many forest fires in the local area. I would not recommend this cabin to anyone who is visiting glacier national Park because it is way too far.

Perfect get away

This property and location was perfect for us. While it was a bit of a drive from GNP, it was a private and quiet setting with a beautiful view, private access to the lake and everything we needed to be comfortable inside and the unique opportunity disconnect with the world and technology (especially with teens). Generator, propane, everything worked great. We couldn’t figure out the oven but didn’t need it after all. Thanks for sharing this piece of heaven on earth!
