A taste of Montana...

The pictures don't convey how wonderful this home is. The property is on the edge of town, but you feel like you're miles out in the country. Fresh flowers, huckleberry jam and Montana coffee made our arrival even sweeter. The kitchen and bathrooms are very well stocked. Bear spray, hiking sticks, ice chest and numerous books/maps of the area were available. Beds and furniture are comfortable. Be sure to take time to experience the beautiful artwork throughout the home. We saw all kinds of wildlife including turkeys in the yard and deer & cattle across the creek under the apple trees. Sit out on the deck and watch the sunset - it's almost spiritual. Owner is on site and is very respectful of your privacy. Thank you, KC, for your hospitality. Your home is stunning and we can't wait to come up for another visit!

Great stay!

We enjoyed the location and the view of the apple orchard. We saw deer and turkeys and even a black bear the last night. The property was spacious and had everything we needed. Only complaint was a strong chemical smell in the basement area. Not sure if it was the carpeting but it either got better over the days or we got used to it.

Great stay

We had a really great visit. The location is convenient to west glacier and certainly makes for easy access to the many glacier hiking trails. The kitchen accessories were excellent and the mattresses were very comfortable. There is bountiful wildlife around the cabin that was a pleasure to observe

Everyone loved it!

Beautiful property in a peaceful setting. The large wrap around porch and deck was our go to place every morning and evening with plenty of animals and nature watching. Located close to town, but you’d never know it when there. It was a home away from home. Amazing kitchen, we had many great evening meals when we got back from our days of adventuring. This is a special place and we are fortunate to have found it as it made our vacation so memorable.

A Taste of Log Cabin Living

We liked everything about it. The location was excellent both in relation to the things we wanted to do and in its seclusion once off the main roads. KC made the check-in and check-out process easy. I arrived ahead of the others in my party so she let me leave my luggage on the porch before going to the airport to pick them up. She permitted the same in reverse on our departure. There were many switches controlling the lights and fans, but all the instructions were clear. The living room area was very spacious as was the kitchen, and well-stocked, too. We only had to shop for food, not coffee filters, dish soap, etc. We ate outside on the deck a few times, too. The cabin was was beautifully landscaped with many flowering plants at or very near full bloom. There were hummingbirds and a robin’s nest with eggs on one of the outside newel posts. It was a wonderful stay for us all and we recommend it to all.

Wonderful relaxing stay

Dark Horse Glen is a wonderful property, and everything was exactly as described in the listing. Our party of 8 (4 adults, 4 kiddos) had plenty of room. The kitchen/dining/living area was very spacious. We especially enjoyed all of the outdoor patio & deck spaces, for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night. Be aware there is only 1 shower, but we knew that going into it so we planned on it. Our kids enjoyed the local wildlife including a very friendly black cat. We took advantage of the grill and all of the kitchen amenities. A quick drive to a large grocery store. Very peaceful; owner is on site but we had all the privacy we needed. A beautiful home!

Didn't Want to Leave

Pulling up to this property after 8 hours on the road was surreal. Such beautiful architecture and stunning surroundings! There was just the four of us, so this place was ridiculously spacious for us, but we made use of every square inch. The king bed in the loft is dwarfed by the square footage up there! The basement was super-popular with our boys. the 17-year-old chose "the cave" for his bedroom which had no windows; perfect for sleeping late into the morning. One of the deciding factors for staying here was that it is equipped with heat AND A/C. The temperature was easy to control and kept us all comfortable during some major swings in weather. The main floor has beautiful furnishings, a huge kitchen, and those floor-to-ceiling windows! We couldn't look away. My favorite part of the stay was when I found that the owner had placed all the tools I needed to easily start our "campfire" on our last evening at the cabin. Very thoughtful of them and much appreciated. By the way, they also provided fantastic coffee beans, Huckleberry jam, and enough graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate for S'mores all week! You will love it here.

Rustic Slice of Heaven

We absolutely loved staying in KC’s beautiful log home. And you do feel like you’re a special and welcome guest there in someone’s actual home. The property is beautiful, the home is striking and it is well appointed with everything you could want. There is plenty of room for a crowd. The finished basement has a huge bedroom with several beds and room for sleeping bags if you needed to accommodate more. Then a second room with another big bed and a bathroom. Upstairs is a beautiful 2 story great room and a well appointed kitchen with everything you need to cook or entertain at home. The top floor is a loft so be prepared for noise to travel especially if someone’s watching TV. Exceptional attention to shades/lighting/heat. And KC is very generous with the amenities. Including some lovely local treats. Plenty of nice touches - toiletries kits, local soaps, local jams as a welcome gift. Plus games to play, maps of the park, bear spray, historical local books. Location wise it worked great for us since we couldn’t get reservations in the park. 10 minutes from whitefish for great dinners, about 30 minutes from the park entrance. We couldn’t get timed tickets to get in to the going to the sun road before they officially opened the gates so got up at 4:30 one morning and drove in before they started checking tickets. Worth it!! Grocery store 5 minutes away- super convenient. Had one day of (impending) rain and went ax throwing and to a maze/mini golf/ go kart place on the way towards whitefish. KC is a wonderful host who makes you feel at home while invisibly giving you your privacy. Super fun to wake up and enjoy your morning coffee with lowing cows at the edge of the deck. Really lovely to hear the freight trains in the distance once you read KC’s story. We loved our stay!

Bright spot on a troubled trip

This cabin was the bright spot on a trip rife with other, unrelated troubles. The cabin is as described, and there are a ton of little added niceties that give an overall great experience from the stocked kitchen to the decorating touches that give a great Montana log cabin experience. The location is great and the setting is private. I highly recommend this property.

Montana Cabin

Three couples stayed at the cabin. The house has a spacious kitchen, family room and bedrooms. There are two bathrooms, but only one shower. There is a bath tub in the other bathroom. We took turns using the one shower and it worked out fine. There is a nice deck around the house and a outdoor propane fireplace. We saw deer, wild turkeys, and a grizzly bear out in the meadow! The house was clean and well stocked with supplies including bear spray and walking sticks, kitchen utensils and condiments, bedding and personal care items. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this cabin. It is within a short driving distance to Glacier National Park as well as restaurants and grocery store.

The Dark Horse Glen property was a perfect place for us to stay while visiting Glacier National Park. It was our ‘home away from home’. The kitchen is fully stocked and the extra touches (scented soap, roses, case of water in the fridge) were really nice. Would definitely recommend this property!

Quiet and comfortable stay

This house was perfect for our family of 5 (would comfortably fit more). We had plenty of space to stretch out after long days at Glacier and Whitefish or rafting down Flathead River. The beds are comfortable and the house was very clean. The kitchen has everything needed to cook meals at home. The cabin is actually surrounded by woods with a couple houses on the property. It was very quiet. The only “con” is we were not able to get WiFi or internet to work except a couple random occasions. This could easily be a plus for those that want to unplug in Montana. I would definitely stay here again.
