Amazing Glacier National Park Vacation

We could not have asked for a better place to stay during our Glacier National Park vacation. The cabin was fantastic and it was clear that Frank and Ruby put a lot of effort into the details. We made use of the indoor firepit almost every night while relaxing after exploring Glacier and also enjoyed the river running through the property. Frank was quick to respond to any questions we had. We were close to restaurants and about 30 minutes away from the West entrance to the park. I wish we could have stayed longer and hope to visit again!

Montana Getaway

We loved our stay in The Cabin by the Creek and would definitely recommend it and come back again. The cabin colors, the wood tones, and decor was so cozy! I loved the decorative details as well as how well stocked the kitchen was with what you might need. We were welcomed with balloons since I was celebrating my birthday, and also Montana coffee and homemade blueberry bread which was delicious! Our hosts were very attentive and helpful!!

Perfect, secluded cabin for time away at Glacier!

Frank and Ruby’s cabin was amazing. My husband and I were looking for a property that was away from town, secluded in the woods. It was so clean and the decor was beautiful. The exterior has a few perfect spots for relaxing and taking in nature. This cabin met every expectation and more! Frank and Ruby are great hosts, very friendly and quick to respond if you have a need. I would definitely recommend booking a reservation at this cabin! The owners hearts and souls have been put into it and you can tell!

Gold Medal Cabin

My husband and I have stayed at lots of cabins in our 36 years of marriage and this cabin gets a gold medal. The owners maintain the cabin and have included lots of extras to make your stay special. We enjoyed homemade blueberry bread that was a delightful treat. The drive from the cabin into Glacier National Park was a very simple drive. We enjoyed coming come to a peaceful, secluded cabin in the woods next to a small creek. This property is a gem near the prettiest place on Earth!

Idyllic Setting

The cabin provided plenty of room to stretch out in the comfortable bed and the seating area, as well as soft linens and a well equipped kitchen. We loved the little treats which the hosts provided as well as clear directions and ample communication. We found several outdoor spots in which to enjoy our morning coffee and evening cocktails: on the porch, sitting down by the creek, around the fire pit and in the bench swing. The location provided us easy access to Glacier National Park, a grocery store and several restaurant choices. We especially enjoyed an outdoor campground restaurant called Sunflower Cafe and Backslope Brewing.

Beautiful destination

We spent our stay here during the week we got married in Glacier National Park. The cabin was so much more beautiful in person than we could have imagined. The AC went out but the hosts were able to fix it right away. Only negative was we had family coming by to visit but we were accused of having more guests staying over which we felt could’ve been a text as we were getting married the day one of the hosts stopped by. Other than that, we would love to stay here in the future to celebrate our marriage down the road.

Lovely Cabin & Excellent Location

The cabin was very lovely and had all of the amenities you could ever ask for! It was in a beautiful wooded setting with a little stream where we could sit and enjoy nature. The fire pit was also another nice feature that we enjoyed as well. The location was excellent, close to Glacier National Park & Flathead Lake among others. Highly recommend this cabin and the host Frank and Ruby were absolutely wonderful!

Perfect couples getaway!

We absolutely loved staying at this gem of a cabin. The location was a great home base for exploring both Glacier and Whitefish. The cabin was well appointed and cozy. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. There are tons of things to do in the area and this location is central to many! This has been one of, if not, the best VRBO experiences we’ve had. Frank and Ruby are gracious hosts and wonderful to communicate with! Very helpful and just very nice, good people! We highly recommend staying at their wonderful cabin! Thank you for hosting us and allowing your cabin to be part of some great memories! Chad and Jen

If I could rate any higher, I would. This cabin by the creek exceeded every expectation. The peaceful location, cleanliness, convenience, and unmatched hospitality from Frank and Ruby made this a wonderful trip for our honeymoon.

Cabin in the Woods

What a great property, cozy, but spacious. Everything was well done from the lighting, amenities and all the essentials. Frank even took the time to deliver kindling and a fire starter for the well made fire pit. Having happy hour drinks by the stream was a highlight. This is a fantastic place to stay when visiting Glacier National Park.

Perfect Cabin

My wife and I stayed for a month this summer. It was more then we expected. From the relaxing sound of the creek to the quit evenings on the porch watching all the wildlife that came to the creek to drink. Frank and Ruby were the perfect hosts and made our stay unforgettable. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend the cabin to our family and friends. Wayne S.

Family of 4

We were greeted by a little buck as we drove up to the cabin. We saw him and a couple other deer every day of our stay. The cabin was wonderful. So clean and had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the front porch as well as the creek area. Such a cute place. Location was great too. Less than a 30 minute drive to the west entrance of Glacier.

Our stay was perfect! The location of the cabin fits the dream of staying in a cabin by a creek. The cabin has Every thing you need and than some. The hospitality of the host, Frank and Ruby are wonderful! You even get to sleep in ironed sheets! The love they show in details in the cabin is the same for each other. They went over and above helping us with VRBO. VRBO is having system issues. So if you have issues with VRBO...Frank and Ruby will stay in contact with you until resolved!

About the host

Hosted by Frank & Ruby Leftwich

We have owned this property and our home for 27 years and have always wanted to build a nice cabin somewhere on the property for family & guests. After 30+ years traveling in the Aviation industry for Frank and full career in the Medical Services industry for Ruby, we retired early and focused our passion for building and creating a beautiful Cabin in the woods with our own hands & labor. We absolutely LOVE Montana and everything it has to offer. It is our home and our Heart & Soul.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to build something that we haven't found, and a special piece of ourselves in a very beautiful setting, to share with you.

What makes this property unique

This Cabin offers new & modern amenities of a first-class accommodation in a beautiful, wooded setting where you can sit on the deck and listen to the stream, or walk out to sit by the stream and enjoy a glass of wine. It is completely secluded to give you privacy and the feel of Nature, yet close enough to town for all your necessities.
