Quiet, Clean, Bright Stars, on Glacier Nat'l Park's Doorstep

Our large family group had a wonderful stay here. The beds and bedding were better than any short term rental I have been in. Furnishings were just right. The stars from the back balcony are just gorgeous. We were able to easily prepare meals here and relax when not at the National Park... it really is 5 min drive to the gates if there's no line to get in. The three distinct sections of the house meant our group could get some privacy and space as needed and rejoin to play cards, eat, etc when feeling social. Great trip, memories will last. Host was so kind, laid back and helpful with questions and accommodating our needs (eg pack n play for baby).

Welcoming, restful & convenient

We had a wonderful time. The house is so welcoming & beautiful. It was perfect for our family — some drove in from ID & some flew into Kalispell from GA. It was so easy for everyone to get to the house. The house was so restful & soothing, as well as being in a super convenient location. So many options — enjoy the quiet serenity of the immediate area, going for a rafting adventure, explore the wonder of Glacier National Park or fish the Flathead River. It’s all available within 20 minutes of this little slice of paradise. Our hosts were very responsive & thoughtful from booking to checkout. Visit this gem in the woods. You’ll be glad you did! We’ll definitely recommend this place & will book again if we get back to the area sometime.

Glacier Family Vacation

We came to Glacier for a family vacation and are so glad we stayed at this property! It’s close proximity to the park makes it amazing as it is virtually right around the corner from the park entrance! Not only this but the beds are comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and the entire property was clean. Additionally there was a wonderful outdoor area that had a fire pit, plenty of seating to accommodate our large group and was complete with outdoor lighting setting a fun mood. The property host was especially helpful as I had several questions I needed help with before we got there and they were fantastic in responding promptly and went above and beyond to help us prepare for our time in the park. Thank you for making our first trip to Glacier so memorable, we will definitely be back!

Excellent Stay 5 minutes away from West Glacier

The house was big and provided ample space for the 7 of us. All the normal amenities and close to the park. We considered staying in Whitefish due to the city but so glad we stayed close to the park because of the long days exploring.

Great house.. Close to the park. Well stocked.

We had a family trip to Glacier and property was close to good hiking, the park, restaurants and shops but still just off the main road enough that it was quiet. House was great for multiple families. Kids enjoyed the board games. Nice seating area outside.

Glacier Get Away

We always stay at vrbos when we travel. We travel frequently. This property is probably the cleanest place I have ever experienced! I'm talking serious spit-spot! My friends and family tell me I have high expectations (hinting they are too high) when it comes to housekeeping and hygiene. But this home exceeded my hopes! It was wonderful to relax near the lake at the end of the day as we adventured in West Glacier. The only thing that would have made it more perfect was if there would have been a dishwasher. But I'm not complaining. Would highly recommend!

We LOVED this place. It is so peaceful here. I wish we could have stayed a month! In the early morning or evening, the deer come right up into the back yard. There is a private lake as well. The beds are very comfortable and it had everything we needed. It is very easy access to West Glacier and Glacier National Park as well as the other little towns around it. The owner gave fantastic directions so even though we arrived in the dark, it was very easy to find. We will definitely stay here again.

Lovely Private Property in the Woods

We enjoyed staying at this property in the woods. The lake and dock have amazing views (definitely spend a morning out there watching the sun rise over the mountains)and we felt very lucky to have that special spot! A couple of deer visited nearly every morning. The location is perfect, we liked having our privacy but being close to all of the Glacier National Park things to do! Definitely recommend for big families or groups to visit as we had the perfect amount of space for 8 of us and could’ve had more!

Ideal location for West Glacier

The house was perfected our large family. Plenty of space to be together or be alone. Outside patio area was Gregor our evening gatherings. Having 3 kitchens was a great surprise. We were about 10 minutes from the west entrance of Glacier which was incredible convenient. . Emily was very receptive to our suggestions and great to work with. Best family vacation house yet!

Incredible everything at this property

This is a one of a kind property literally minutes away from my favorite National Park - Glacier! The Lake is gorgeous and the 4 separate units are meticulously designed to host several groups or families giving them privacy and then allowing all of them large shared spaces as well. Absolutely incredible experience all around.

Scorcher in Montana

The property is beautiful. The portion of the house we stayed in had 2 bedrooms and a loft area that had room for 6 to sleep. We had a group of 8. 6 adults and 2 kids(3,5). There were 3 nice bathrooms and 2 kitchens and living room spaces. The back patio area was a really nice spot to hang out. Everything was supplied including a grill and firewood if you wanted. There were TVs in each area if you wanted that. All seemed to be smart tvs. The dining table was large and could fit our whole group. Great for games during wind down after a day of hiking. The check in was so smooth and the property manager was about as nice as can be. She gave us a quick tour and was available to answer questions at all times. They even had bear spray to use if we didnt bring our own. We were there in an extreme heat week for Montana. We kept the windows open at night and closed during the day. It kept the house at a pretty comfortable temp except the loft which didnt cool off until around 1 to 2 am. That being said there were ceiling fans everywhere and considering the temps during the day were around 100 degrees it was about as comfortable as you could expect without A/C. The location to the west entrance was very convenient. We got passes to going to the sun road before we came so we were able to go through the park freely. There wasn't ever a point entering the park that was overly crowded so that was nice. The lake close to the property isnt really a swimming lake. The dock got you most of the way past the weeds but it looked pretty murky. Our group did try fishing off the dock. Lake 5 up the road was good for swimming and we took the kids there a couple times. We also enjoyed swimming in the lakes in the park even though they were pretty cold. Overall I would say that the property was about perfect for what we wanted and the service was top notch.

Great place near Glacier National Park

Our 3 generation family of 9 spent a long weekend at this great property. We were personally greeted by the manager who showed us around and was very responsive to our questions/ requests throughout our stay. The place is set-up to be very flexible for a large group with very comfortable beds, a well appointed kitchen and space to be together or take time to be on our own. There is a grill which worked well and a nice large picnic table on the back patio which was very inviting. The house was very clean. There were even bandaids for one of our group who needed one! The walk to the lake is short and a pleasant place to visit. The house is a short drive to the west entrance of Glacier National Park making it very convenient to get there and back. We would highly recommend this property!
