About this property
Glacier Park Montana Lookout Tower
This 2 bedroom, 3.5 bath home, sits high on a bluff overlooking the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. The upper deck looks East to the river and to Scalplock Mountain Fire Lookout and Glacier National Park ! There is a path to the river, where a lovely beach provides a great place to picnic, swim or fish. Glacier National Park is directly across the river. The cabin is located half way between East and West Glacier off of HWY 2, so it makes it easy to visit both sides of the park.
Time to unplug and enjoy all the beauty that surrounds you! There is no cell phone coverage at the cabin and no land line for a phone. Good Cell coverage is available 25 miles east or west of the cabin. The Internet is Starlink and WiFi calling generally works okay. There is streaming available on the 4 TV’s in the house. The basement TV is a big screen TV with a DVD player and an extensive dvd library.
The kitchen has all modern appliances and lots of fun cooking gadgets. There is a grill on the upper deck for you to use. There are spices and condiments for your use. There is a Keurig Coffee maker and pods are provided including decaf.
This is a perfect spot for a honeymoon or for 2 couples or a family of 4 to relax in all the splendor of Glacier National Park and the surrounding area. There are 2 bedrooms with queen size beds. A comfortable blowup mattress is available if someone wants to use the basement as a separate bedroom. Whitefish Ski Resort has lots of summer activities and is about one hour from the house.
The house is well maintained and is cleaned thoroughly between guests.
The owner is happy to help you with your daily itineraries!

About the host
Hosted by Suanne Dullard
I bought this property 18 years ago with the intention of building my retirement home. I owned the cabin adjacent to it before I built my MT Fire Lookout Home 2 years ago. My 3 daughters grew up taking the train out from Minnesota with me in the summers and the winter. The cabin is located on the river and we spent many hours fly fishing, rafting and swimming in the river. We also have hiked almost every trail in Glacier National Park and several on nearby forestry land. I have several hiking books at the cabin to guide you in selecting day hikes. My profile picture is of my middle daughter, Kate. I would carry her on my back on the trails when she was small and then when she became a teenager we did several 4-7 night back packing trips in GNP. My kids and I love Glacier National Park. The kids are grown now and busy with their lives, so I decided to join the Peace Corps for 8 months! I left for Mozambique in April 2019 and returned January 2020. My neighbor was managing my VRBO while I was in Africa, but now I am! . I am happy to share this slice of paradise with you and I hope you leave with wonderful memories!
Why they chose this property
The very first time I came to Glacier I knew I would be back. This place touches my soul. The views from my house makes my heart sing!
What makes this property unique
Sitting on my deck, you are literally right across the river form Glacier National Park. I often see moose and bears down on the river.
