About this property

Cabins At Hay Creek Gorgeous Log Cabin Stunning Views of Glacier National Park

As with all three of our cabins, Caribou sits on more than 20 acres of pristine forest and meadow. The expansive windows and roomy deck provide an unrivaled view north into Glacier. On clear nights, your deck is also the perfect place to gaze at stars, which, due in part to our sparsely populated valley, are wonderfully bright.

Caribou features two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. The master bedroom is upstairs for added privacy. There is a full bath, fully-equipped kitchen, and a combined dining and living room area with an energy-efficient Jotul wood stove. Logs, which are cut from our own property, are provided. On your deck, there is a large bistro style table and chairs. Log accents abound throughout the cabin, from the log supports and peak log in the master bedroom to the stairway.

Last but not least, our namesake: Hay creek runs the course of our southern border. It is home to the endangered bull trout.

Please note: Due to the lack of service in Polebridge, internet is not available at our cabins.

The pleasure of Polebridge

We came to Polebridge to attend a family function. Our family members have cabins about 3 miles from this cabin so the location was perfect. We were a mile from the Polebridge Mercantile and the Northern Lights Saloon which was super convenient. The 2 bedroom cabin had comfortable beds and adequate kitchen equipment to navigate fixing simple meals. Sitting on the deck viewing the meadow and the mountains on the background soothed one’s soul. Bring your own beach towels if you plan on swimming in many of the mountain lakes. Also, there is no hair dryer. Owner was up front about the absence of WIFI so prepare for that. We had a wonderful visit and would rent from this landlord again.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Bassingthwaighte

Host profile image
Our story begins more than twenty years ago when our family, who has always been and to this day remains, a frequent visitor to Glacier National Park, wandered through a place called Polebridge. We fell in love with it, as most people do. Then, as if by fate, we received a sign. A literal sign. "For sale.”

Our slice of the North Fork Valley lies on the banks of Hay Creek, which is fed by the mountains and runs, swift and clear, along the southern border of our plot. This is where we spent our summers, our winters, our weekends. This is where our children fell in love with nature. Even though they've grown, that love is still evident. When they come back to this place, their stress and worry - inherent parts of life outside our valley - seem to melt away.

One night last summer, as the stars, all these years later, still inspired us to awe, someone said: "Wouldn't it be great if we could share this?"

We didn’t know it at the time, but that night a business was born: The Cabins at Hay Creek.

Why they chose this property

Join us in the peaceful and staggeringly beautiful Polebridge, Montana, for a true slice of paradise: 21.3 acres of land, 10 of which are forested; a swift and cold creek that is a pleasure to fish; and awe-inspiring views in every direction. Here you will find the Cabins at Hay Creek, which provide the comforts of home in an off-grid and eco-friendly environment. We are proud to be solar powered and to pull water from our own wells. Our goal? To leave no trace. After all, this land belongs to the pine trees, the fir trees, the aspen; it belongs to the bear, the elk, and the snowy owl. Humans are the visitors here, and we strive to be the best guests we can be.

When you stay with us, you will enjoy a two-story, two-bedroom log cabin with expansive windows and great views north toward mountains so tall they look to scrape the heavens with their snowy peaks. You get a private bathroom with hot water, a full kitchen, a living room and dining area, a private deck, and a propane grill with fuel included.

With Glacier National Park just down the road, our location is impossible to beat.

What makes this property unique

The Cabins at Hay Creek are located a mere 1 mile from the center of Polebridge, where the Mercantile (known locally as "the Merc") and the Northern Lights Saloon wait to fill your stomach and quench your thirst. We are just a few miles from both the Polebridge and the Camas Creek entrances to Glacier National Park, which just might be the most beautiful place on Earth. John Muir, the famed naturalist, once wrote of it: “Wander here a whole summer, if you can. Thousands of God’s wild blessings will search you and soak you as if you were a sponge, and the big days will go uncounted.” We are 45 miles from Whitefish and 43 miles from the airport.

That is to say, we are easy to get to but also a world away. You can enjoy proximity to the very best of Glacier National Park while also savoring the wild beauty and peacefulness of a valley most tourists make the mistake of passing by.
