Great house and wonderful location!
We had an amazing time during our trip to Glacier National Park! The house was spacious and met all our needs. There were 6 of us in our family group - 4 adults and 2 children. We enjoyed the comfortable beds, the well-equipped kitchen, the Roku TVs for watching movies in the evening after hiking during our days. There was plenty of room to spread out and relax. We also enjoyed sitting on the deck and making S'mores on the front porch. The kids liked the game area downstairs and also enjoyed the game area outside. The location of the house in West Glacier was very convenient - there were shops and cafes in West Glacier and a large Super 1 Foods grocery store about 15 minutes away. We enjoyed driving to East Glacier and to different areas of the park to sight-see and hike. Our only real disappointment was that a large part of the Going to the Sun Road was not open, but we still saw many incredibly beautiful parts of Glacier Park! Our hosts were very helpful and accommodating! All of this made our trip an amazing adventure!

Outstanding home
We loved staying in this house. The kids had a blast with the mini soccer table and Jenga. Glacier national park was a dream come true vacation. We were able to make meals in the large kitchen and have plenty of room to relax in the rest in the rest of the home. In addition, we enjoyed eating out on the porches which allowed us to take in scenery we most definitely will not see when we head back home. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Great place to stay when visiting Glacier National Park!
LOVED the location!! This house is located immediately outside the west entrance of GNP - as close as you can get without being in the park! Extremely convenient to West Glacier food and activities too. Our family of 6 stayed here for 4 days and had plenty of space to spread out (could've comfortably fit even more!). A little rustic (and a little musty before opening the windows) but clean and suited our needs perfectly! Great stay!!

Awesome West Glacier Stay
I stayed at this property with my husband, two children and another family of four and we all loved staying there. There was plenty of space, it was very clean, and the location was great. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay on the West side of Glacier National Park. The only drawback to this property was that there were no blackout curtains and the sun set very late and rose very early. Bring some sleeping masks and you will be good to go!

Great rental close to western Glacier NP entrance
My family of 7 adults and one teenager really enjoyed staying in this house. Everything was clean and in working order. There was plenty of common area for everyone to relax in both inside and outside the house. The proximity to the entrance to the park and other amenities (groceries, gas, medical clinic, etc.) was great. One of the property managers came by for a friendly check on things while we were there and gave us some useful information on other local places to go. We would definitely rent this house again.

We loved staying at this house. It is super close to the GNP entrance and to West Glacier village where you can find food, souvenirs and activities. The owners were very responsive to the concerns as they arose. The house is spacious and has everything you could possibly need as far as kitchen utensils, games, WiFi, TVs and inside/outside living. Thank you!

Great location and nice house, but broken dishwasher
This house is in a perfect location to access Glacier NP, and is in a nice quiet neighborhood. The interior is spacious, the furniture is comfortable, and they have a well-stocked kitchen (and even provide bear spray, a nice touch). However, the dishwasher is broken, which was not great. They are clearly aware of this, since they do not provide dishwashing detergent and do not include instructions to run a load in the check-out process, which are both very standard for every vacation rental we have ever stayed in. We purchased our own, only to find that it doesn't work (it runs and sounds like it's doing something, but nothing gets clean). As a family of five who does not eat out often, we generate a lot of dirty dishes, and I was not happy to spend my vacation hand washing everything. Overall, however, the house and location were great, and I would stay there again if the dishwasher is fixed.

First family trip to GNP
This cabin was in the perfect location for Glacier National Park. We could drive, bike or even walk to West Glacier Village, and we were so close to the entrance to the park! GNP is amazing by itself, but this cabin made our trip so enjoyable! The owners were just a text away and even offered itinerary suggestions when we couldn't get Going to the Sun Rd tickets. This was the most amazing trip we have taken as a family!
