Great Location
My dad and I stayed here late September/early October. It's in a super good spot to access both the east and west sides of Glacier, which would definitely be handy if they close Going to the Sun Road. The cabin is great! Large porch, full kitchen, comfy living room. Bedroom/bunkroom are downstairs. We really enjoyed the stay.

Great find
Quiet and well centered for our plans. Property is beautiful. Cabin was comfortable. Flies were a little bad but it is a horse ranch in a remote area so thats to be expected. Everything else was amazing. Will try to go back next time I visit the area.

July Stay
We got married in Glacier in July and we used this cabin as our home base. We had a group of 8 adults and with the extra bunk room there was plenty of space for all of us. The property is peaceful and we loved all the dogs running around, especially Hoss :) The best grocery store was in Columbia Falls on our way in and the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals there. Thanks Capri for checking on us throughout our stay and making sure we had everything we needed!!! You really can’t get a better location if your plan is to explore Glacier National Park. It’s pretty much equal distance between both West and East entrances.

Beautiful location, perfect stay for families or friends, GREAT hosts!
We absolutely loved staying on the east side of Glacier National Park at Capri and Shawns house at Snowy Mountain Outfitters. They were WONDERFUL hosts. Absolutely breathtaking property and the cabin had essentials plus some! We had everything we needed and loved being so close to East Glacier Lodge, East entrance to Going to the Sun Road, and our favorite, Many Glacier wasnt a bad drive from the cabin! We rode horses while at the cabin and loved the ride and views close to sundown! Loved Hoss and Rosie on property visiting and greeting us daily! We had zero issues finding this cabin and loved that there were restaurants not far away on the reservation or other town areas that was good if we wanted to eat out for dinner one night after hiking or cooking at the cabin! Highly recommend this location and hosts and would love to come back one day!! Perfect for our family of 5!!

Cozy and Quiet
My husband and I loved staying in the cabin. It was cozy with tons of beds if you planned on bringing the family or friends. During our stay we booked a half day horseback ride with the outfitter on the property. This was a lovely touch, especially since we booked this cabin for our wedding trip/honeymoon. Everyone on the property was very helpful and welcoming! They also made sure you had your privacy. I loved meeting everyone including the horses and dogs that reside on the property. If we decide to make this an annual trip, we will for sure book again with Capri and Shawn!!

Great getaway
The cabin worked great for our large family. It's nicely located to give the option to go to either the West or East entrances of Glacier. I was looking forward to visiting both sides of Glacier but my kids had the most fun playing in the creek on the property and exploring the tunnel. The dogs were very friendly and our kids had fun exploring with them and playing catch with them. There was room at the table for everyone and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals there. The covered deck was a great place to relax at any time of the day because it always provided shade. All the beds were in the basement with a queen size bed in a separate room. It was cool and dark down there and the beds were very comfortable so we all slept well. The cabin is on a working ranch and the owners live on the property as well. They go about their business but are more than willing to talk and we enjoyed our talks with Capri. We enjoyed our time there and our kids asked if we could buy the cabin or at least come back and let them play in the creek soon.

Wonderful stay at a family friendly horse ranch.
We chose this location to have equal access to West and East Glacier NP, and it was the perfect choice. The cabin we stayed in was plenty big for 7 of us, the 100 acre ranch surrounded by mountains and a fishable creek was a great home base while we enjoyed the national park. Campfires at night, starry skies and the enjoyment of the horse activities created a fabulous environment to relax and enjoy nature. Thanks Shawn, Capri and crew!

Glacier Get Away!
Montana at its best! Anything you want to experience is available at this property from hiking on a plethora of trails to quiet time by the creek throwing rocks and wading in the water. Our three families came together for a fantastic week. We did a family hike to Stanton Lake starting on a nearby trailhead off of highway 2. Even the 3 year olds did the hike on the way up but preferred the backpacks on the way back. The trail is quite steep. Had the breathtaking lake to ourselves once we arrived. Saw river rafting excursions along the highway on the Flathead River but decided to save that for another trip. Made use of both entrances to Glacier Park from this convenient location. The cabin worked well for the 10 of us plus baby. Capri had extra leaves in the table for us that we could all fit around. Even the one bathroom situation was pleasantly workable. The bunkhouse provided sleeping quarters for 3 of the guys and the beds on the lower level were cool and comfy. We made good use of the large railed porch and enjoyed the beautiful views, breezes and humming bird visitors throughout the day. Our little boys LOVED the trains that travelled in the distance along the ridge and provided entertainment. A special highlight for the girls was the beautiful trail ride led by Shawn. All in all we couldn’t have asked for more and have memories saved in amazing photos including those of mountain sheep and goats, deer and even a bear! Thanks Capri and Shawn for everything!

Glacier National Park Home Base
We stayed at Shawn and Capri's property for our visit to Glacier National Park. This is a great location if you want to bounce between east and west entrances. We visited the east side only and the drives were reasonable. The property is great, stunning views all around and being an active horse ranch/outfitter added to the authenticity. They had everything we needed in the house for cooking our own meals. Beds were comfy and clean. Bathroom was fine. This was a perfect size for our family of four. The pups on the property are great. They like to come and visit and see what's going on. We loved it. If you're looking for something a little off the beaten path with a great setting, this is the place. We'd stay with them again no questions asked. Thanks!

Quiet place
We loved our stay at Snowy Springs. It was quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the park. Slow moving trains rumble along the mountainside occasionally. With no whistles, you barely notice it. We loved the dogs and horses. They are up close and personal with you so if you're not a lover of dogs and horses, this might not be a great fit for you. We most enjoyed our one hour trail ride. The guides and horses were great. The house was very welcoming with comfortable beds, a fireplace, and great covered porch. You have to be willing to drive if you plan on visiting the park, especially Many Glacier. However, the drive is beautiful. Its 35 minutes to the West Glacier entrance, 40 minutes to Two Medicine, 90 minutes to the St Mary entrance and 1 hour 50 minutes to Many Glacier. We preferred Hwy 2 to Hwy 49 to Hwy 89 to travel to the east side instead of going through Browning. Hwy 89 is not your typical highway, although it is paved, it is not a fast shortcut. Its a very winding road with steep drops and no guardrail, but the drive is beautiful. There are also free range cattle so keep an eye out. The few pullouts along Hwy 89 would make for great star gazing. We hope to be back again soon.

Glacier National Park getaway
Nicely located between east and west entrances to the park. Cabin was clean and well equipped. If your family is like ours and you like dogs, you'll enjoy the company of the owner's dogs who will come visit with you. If you're looking for something different than a just another condominium, this place fits the bill and allows for an authentic western experience.

This is one of the best retreats we have ever had! It was quiet, majestic and no one bothered us at all. We truly felt like we were on vacation, which is the point.

Peaceful stay on a secluded, working horse Ranch!
Beautiful setting, great location between entrances to Glacier, the hosts were very welcoming and made you feel at home. Surrounded by their ample property, with the Bear Creek running right through it, you can spend an evening watching them work the horses. Pictures describe the property very well. Bedrooms downstairs sleep a lot of people, one bathroom upstairs only. Everything was accommodated for, yet totally laid back, and we would definitely stay again!

Mountain paradise!
We (family of 7) absolutely loved our stay here. The owners are fantastic hosts, and the setting is ideal not only in proximity to both sides of GNP, but also in its beautiful views. We saw elk on the slopes just above the cabin every day, the kids loved playing with the owners’ dogs, and we thoroughly enjoyed the beginner’s horse ride. We could not recommend Snowy Springs more highly!
