About this property

Two bedroom, 2 bath house on 5 acres tucked away at the end of a dirt road. A very quiet and peaceful location and only 20 minutes from Glacier Park. The house features a full kitchen including dishwasher and an outdoor grill on a spacious deck with views of the Park. Other amenities include an outdoor play yard for kids, fire pit and an indoor play area for the kids, complete with toys, games, books and coloring. We have unlimited Wi-Fi, however there is no television. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other has two twin beds. The living room has a futon which sleeps two.

Our home features a family-friendly open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, maple and pine flooring, hickory cabinets and decorative touches that help to bring the beauty of our surroundings in. An outdoor family-friendly play area with swings, small lawn, a sandbox with toys included, a short bike path featuring a small wooden bridge, and a wood chip area with stumps for active free play truly make this the perfect place for a family with young children. Our end-of-the-road location makes it the perfect place for a quiet getaway to experience the majesty of what Montana has to offer. Public access to the North Fork Flathead river is a short mile drive away. Access to Glacier National Park through either the West Glacier entrance or the Camas entrance are both a 20 minute drive away. With a lively local Farmer's Market on Thursday evenings, Columbia Falls is a great stop for a taste of what the Flathead Valley has to offer.

Beautiful home near Glacier

My husband, son, and I really enjoyed our stay. It was such a great way for us to unplug and spend time together. Loved how close we were to Glacier and that we got to experience its beauty! The home was well equipped with everything we needed and was very comfortable. Will stay here again in a heartbeat!

Perfect Cabin for Glacier

The cabin was perfect for our family of 5. It was 20 minutes to Glacier which we visited every day. Felt remote, but only 15 minutes to Columbia Falls for restaurants and shopping. It was quiet and clean and the owners were super easy to communicate with and ask questions. Highly recommend!

As Advertised

Fantastic Rental. Cabin was exceptionally clean! Great location, nestled in the woods, easy to communicate with the owner/manager, everything you needed for a small family was available, close to town and Glacier NP, our 2 grandchildren loved the chipmunk and the cabin would be on top of our list next time in Glacier.

Great Cabin Close to Glacier!

We stayed at Solitude Cabin July 27-Aug 3, 2024 for our family vacation to Glacier. Everything about this place was great! The cabin itself was beautiful, super clean and well kept! It has everything you need for you stay and more. Plenty of games to play with the kids. Strong wifi if you need it. A nice bluetooth sound system to play some music. They have all the appliances and utensils you need to cook your meals and the appliances are all nice higher end ones. The deck is awesome for relaxing after a long day of hiking in Glacier. The location was perfect for us. There are neighbors but you would never know it if you didn't drive by them on the way in. It is at the end of the road. You can't see another house from the cabin. All you can see is the forest and mountains. Amazing! The description says 20 minutes to Glacier and that is spot on and the drive to get there is beautiful. About 15 minutes to Columbia Falls. The owner is great at communicating and answering any questions you might have. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking to head to the mountains and get away from it all!

Enjoyed our stay

My husband and I stayed at this cabin for 7 nights. Everything was as pictured and described, we had what we needed, Richard was communicative and we had no issues. This home is convenient to accessing both the park and town. Visiting with the neighbor’s friendly horses in the backyard was a pleasant perk! This home is on a short street spread out amongst a small handful of other cabins and it was very quiet and peaceful and felt very remote. It was also very close to a boat ramp for easy access to fishing the nearby river. Having a washer and dryer to do laundry mid-week was a big plus. The Check-in and check-out process was super simple. I will call out a few things that would improve the guest experience. The pots and pans are not non-stick and the cooking utensils could be of better variety/quality. We cooked most of our meals so this was disappointing. There is also no lounging space in this cabin. Half of the living room is set up for small children to play. The only adult furniture is a single leather recliner and a hard folding futon. This may not matter for someone staying just a couple nights. But for a longer stay, having a big comfy sofa to relax on would have been much more inviting. This was really the only major complaint we had. Many of the rooms and closets in the home are locked, which felt a little off-putting given that you are paying to rent the full home. I hope this feedback is helpful for the host and for the next guest!

Great Startin point for Glacier National Park.

The property was just as described. We arrived after dark so it was a little tricky to find but we did drive right to it. It is perfect for 2 couples who are wanting to explore the park. The fact there was no air conditioner was not a problem as it was cool enough at night to sleep and keep the place cool. Close enough to groceries and restaurants. We highly recommend this place.

Cozy Woodland Retreat

Our family of four loved our stay at this lovely woodland retreat. Communication with the host was terrific . It was wonderful to view the tall pines and the moon while listening to the call of a screech owl in the evenings . So many different birds! A family of turkeys appeared to say good bye on our final morning. The cabin is very convenient to the west side of Glacier National Park and is a peaceful retreat. We woud love to return! The road to the cabin is bumpy so take your time .

Perfect place for our visit to Glacier!

Our family (two adults and two kids, ages 9 and 11) found this house to be perfect for us. It was clean, exactly as advertised, and very close to Glacier National Park. We had a great time, and our only regret was that we didn't stay longer.

Secluded and private.

The positives outweigh the one negative. The positives are private and secluded, large space, well kept, and the owners/mgr are very attentive. The one negative is flys get into the cabin. Not sure how because we did t leave the door open but they were a nuisance. I suspect this can be fixed. We enjoyed our stay.

Secluded cabin close to Glacier

This was a wonderful home base for my family to explore the west side of Glacier! Perfect set up for my family of 4. My two children ages 4 and 6 loved all the kids toys both inside and outside, their own kids room, and a big rug to play on in the main room. House was clean, well stocked, and owner was very kind and responsive. My parents stayed in their camper, but had meals with us and would hang out in the evenings with plenty of space for everyone. House is very private, surrounded by woods, so peaceful!

About the host

Hosted by Sara Walburg-Owens

My name is Richard Owens and I work for the U.S. Forest Service. During the summer, my family and I move to a remote backcountry ranger station for my job, leaving this beautiful house empty for several months. We love to see others love the house and surrounding lands as much as we do. During our summer absence, the rental is managed by our long time friend and property manager.

Why they chose this property

We can offer unparalleled end-of-the-road peace and quiet only 20 minutes from Glacier Park. Wild turkeys, deer, elk, coyotes and many other birds and animals frequent our 5-acre "yard".

What makes this property unique

Our yard features a beautifully designed play space for children with a sandbox, wood chip area, lawn, swings and bike path for a complete outdoor play experience without even leaving the grounds. You'll be surrounded by stunning mountain views as you watch your children play or sip coffee on the deck.
