About this property

Glacier National Park-cozy, rustic home w/ hot tub, just 6 minutes to the park

Come stay at our beautiful new home, just 7 miles from the entrance to Glacier National Park! We are conveniently located in Coram, Montana, right on the new bike trail to Glacier National Park. The home is private, with a spacious porch on which to have your morning coffee, eat dinner, and plan your next day in the park. There is a picnic table and a hammock down the trail through the yard, for winding down after a busy day outside. We have added a hot tub, new 2022, for those of you looking to unwind at night and check out the stars! We are close enough to a restaurant and pub to walk to- even following a long day in the Park or on the river. Two miles down the road is the nearest grocery, as well as the Hungry Horse Reservoir, a great place for boating, fishing, and huckleberry picking. The road the we're located on is a wonderful place for an evening stroll up toward Desert Mountain (and connects to a mountain bike/hiking trail up the mountain if you're feeling that ambitious!). The house is set back a bit from the road, with a smaller cabin/in-law suite between, and two brand new A-frame cabins sharing the 1-acre yard. The house itself is 1000 square foot, 2 bedroom/1 bathroom new construction. Both bedrooms are located upstairs one with a queen bed and one with twin bunk beds, and a futon/sleeper is downstairs. This is a beautiful home and a convenient place to relax when visiting Glacier, the last best place!
The main attraction, is of course, the Park. The owners have and do work for park in various capacities (Park Ranger, guide, biologist, etc.) and have an enormous wealth of knowledge about it. In fact, Chelsea and I live and work as scientists just outside of Glacier National Park, and we've started our own business to conduct science in the Glacier area! Search for South Fork Environmental Research and Consulting on our website to see what we're currently working on.
Beginning 2022, our house now shares the fenced-in property with two brand new A-Frames! There are mostly separate spaces, but the picnic, hammock, and firepit area are now shared. Ask us for a deal if you'd like to book multiple cabins.

Cozy home, great location

We had a great stay. The cabin is very cozy and clean, on a nice property very close and easy to get to West Glacier. It was a perfect base camp for our family. I was hesitant to book because other reviews referenced the noise…this was not a problem at all for us. You can hear the highway a bit, and we heard the train occasionally but none of it was disruptive for us; our family noises were usually louder! Would definitely stay again.

We loved our week in Glacier! Convenient location near West Entrance and a short drive to East Glacier. Cabin was clean and well supplied, enough sleeping space for our family of 5, loved the fire pit and hot tub for evening fun - not sure we ever figured out the hot/cold water system but thankful for some reprieve after our days of hiking. Will definitely share with family and check out the East Glacier cabins when we return! Thanks for having us!

Fantastic Glacier Stay

We had a wonderful stay here while visiting Glacier National Park! The cabin was spacious for our family and had every amenity we needed. The property also has 2 small one room cabins on it, which are close to the main cabin but do not have direct views into the cabin. The cabin although sharing the property with other cabins feels very private. We loved walking down to the Elk fence in the morning and evening to see groups of large Bull Elk grazing. The location of the property is about 10-15 minutes to the entrance of Glacier National Park, which was great! Our family loved the rental and would highly recommend it.

Great location and hosts!

Positives: -Close to the park and Columbia Falls -Well stocked home with everything you need to make meals. -Bed was super comfy -Quick communication from the hosts -Lots of towels, sheets, and laundry was so nice! -Great firepit and front porch Negatives: -As mentioned in previous reviews, the noise from the train during the night and highway noise was not great. -Neighbors dogs barked during the day and in the middle of the night. -The lack of AC is really not too terrible but you need to leave the windows open at night and that makes it tough to sleep with the noise. Earplugs are provided but the noise was still heard. Overall, we would stay again as the location and amenties trump the negatives.

Great rental, just outside Glacier National Park

This was a great house - very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking (including plenty of spices and other items). The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed sitting out in the porch in the evenings. I marked the location down a bit just because the house is close enough to the main drag into the park that you can hear the road noise. But we found it to be a nice distance from the park, which made it easy to go back and forth. The owners/managers were also extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the park and restaurants in the local area.

Glacier with granddaughter

The location with proximity to Glacier NP was very convenient! The house was comfortable and well built. The kitchen well stocked. Check in was easy with a code for a lock box. Even without AC, the house cooled down considerably at night after daily temps in the high 80’s, low 90’s, as the owner suggested opening all the windows in the evening. However, with the open windows, there’s a train track close enough we could hear the train cars rattling on the rails, not to mention the warning whistle. There are several fans provided, so we closed our upstairs bedroom window and set up a fan at bedtime to help muffle the noise. Fire pit wood is available at a nearby store, along with all the fixins for s’mores!

Perfect base for Glacier National Park

This cabin is 7 miles from the West Glacier entrance, PERFECT for our daily trips into the park. There are 2 large groceries between the cabin and Kalispell Airport, and we recommend Glacier Highland Restaurant for a delicious meal—bison meatballs! Our hosts provided super comfy beds, a nicely-appointed kitchen—including accumulated food extras from former guests— laundry machines, bear spray—which I’m glad we had because we saw 4 bears, but didn’t need. Bring earplugs for the dogs & roosters nearby, but this is a beautiful place to stay!!!

Good location close to West Glacier

Very cute log cabin close to the west entrance of Glacier National Park. Comfortable for 4; futon in the living room was comfortable as well. A single bathroom for 5 people was a challenge, but plenty of hot water. Hot tub is a treat after a long hike!

Family with kids

We enjoyed our stay in Elk View! We drove up from MS, and it was great to have such a nice cabin to call home for the week. The hot tub was a nice touch after our longs days in the park. The native landscaping offered more privacy and a natural look. Everything was very clean, organized, and well maintained. There were ample supplies in the cabin, including condiments, spices, bear sprays (3 or 4), extra blankets/pillows, and umbrellas. There was also plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, and laundry supplies. We left the laundry detergent we bought to pass along to the next guests. We've already recommended the cabin and surrounding properties to a friend to book. It was very convenient to the park! The elk next door were fun to watch. The mattresses were very comfortable. Even though the A-frames are close by, they are angled for additional privacy. We would definitely stay here again! It was a little hard to find coming in at night, but just look for the small "Hiker's Haven" sign to turn. The cabin was dark when we arrived. It would have been helpful if the cleaning crew left on the porch light or the sink light for us. A few comments that might be beneficial: The top bunk in the children's room is very tall and the ladder is very difficult to climb (straight up, not inclined at all). I'm guessing the homeowner made it, and while it is very sturdy, it is much taller than a typical bunk bed. Our nearly 10 year old was scared to sleep up there. I wouldn't recommend it for young children. Maybe higher guard rails or an inclined ladder would make it feel safer to little kids? We ended up letting the kids have the queen bed. I slept on the bottom of the bunk beds and my husband slept downstairs on the couch. He said it was comfortable and didn't want to go through the hassle of making up the downstairs futon. It looked like a nice futon though if you are relying on that extra space for sleep. There is a small black futon upstairs, but it isn't comfortable to sleep on. We had cool nights, but we still had to open the windows for air. Additional ceiling fans or box fans would be nice. The only issue with opening the windows is the train and neighbor noises. The train comes through often. Once it cooled off, I closed the windows, and it was fine. The cabin needs additional curtains now that there are the A frame houses in the back for privacy (over the sink and porch door) and to block out the "night sun" (small window on the landing).

Wonderful Memorial

Checking in & cleanliness was simple and perfect. The cabin was very well stocked. The overall view was nice. It’s closeness to an elk farm & Glacier National Park was nice, but it was very close to the road & a railroad track (so there was outside noise). The hot tub was also nice! Overall it was a wonderful site that lead to a great memorial for our departed friend.

We had a wonderful time at this property. It was perfect for our needs. Wish we could have stayed longer! The glacier guide materials that the owners left out were so helpful.

Loved it!

We loved the property. It was a great location to go in and out of Glacier National park easily, close to bigger towns with dining and activities all around. Everything was listed accurately, it was so nice having a kitchen to cook and having a washer and drier was a huge bonus. We finally got to see the elk our last night, with several babies! The only thing I could mention would be the upstairs floor didn’t seem as if it was cleaned, lots of hair on the floor, otherwise, if we are ever back in the area from Georgia, I would love to stay again!

Great place for GNP

If you are taking a trip to GNP, I highly recommend this property. Its only a few minutes from the west entrance and is perfect for families. The wifi was strong and there were lots of extras at the house (bear spray, laundry detergent, bug spray). The property owner gave me the heads up that we needed an extra entry pass to get into the park, which was invaluable. We had a small fire for s'mores in the fire pit. We even saw deer and elk on the back line of the property! If we ever come back, we would definitely stay here again.

This was a comfortable clean cabin. And very well stocked pantry and bathroom which we really appreciated. The elk at the back of the cabin were an extra treat and being only 8 miles from west entrance to Glacier was great. No hairdryer in the cabin so bring one if you need it.

Great inside...a few minor issues to sort out...

The inside of the cabin is definitely as advertised. It's lovely, clean and quaint. It needed paper towels and a hair dryer. The owner seems to be very incommunicado. We tried to contact him several times and he never got back. Maybe he goes up in the mountains where there is no service? The road noise is not great but you can't hear it inside. The property was VERY clean and functional...comfy beds too. The location is good for Coram and GNP. Backyard is pretty overgrown so we didn't use it much. All in all, we were happy.

Cute, well stocked cabin close to Glacier NP

Being only 7 miles from west Glacier was great. The yard was super relaxing where we had a fire each night after a in day in the park. The grocery store is only 3 miles away in Hungry Horse. There are several restaurants within walking distance plus a distillery. Even though highway 2 is right there, it’s super quiet as traffic stops when it gets dark. The kitchen is well stocked and there are several neat books to read during our stay. We are our meals on the porch which was great. Although no AC or heat, the house held the temps well. There is a wood burning stove but we never needed even with morning temps in the upper 40s.

Wonderful house just minutes from Glacier!

This cozy house was perfect for our family of 4! We loved how close it was to the park. The kitchen was really well stocked and the house was really clean and neat. Unfortunately we did not see any elk on the farm next door, but there was a yard full of friendly bunnies a few houses down that we visited nightly. We would definitely stay here again!
