About this property

Surrounded with incredible mountain views, this charming cabin is located at the west entrance to Glacier National Park in the remote North Fork of the Flathead Valley in Polebridge, MT. It is approximately 1 mile from the Polebridge Merchantile.

Our cozy cabin is off-grid and situated in the ideal vacation spot to experience the untouched lands of the North Fork yet enjoy some of the conveniences of home. There is indoor 'on demand' hot water and a generator should electricity be occasionally needed. Our cabin also offers a phone, full indoor bath, kitchen furnished with basic eating and cooking utensils, propane refrigerator, propane range, living area, dining area, etc. The ambiance is superb with the warmth of quaint propane wall sconces providing light each night. Linens & towels provided.

Sleeps 4 people comfortably (extra nightly charge for more than 4 guests). Futon folds out into a queen bed, bunk bed offers double bed on bottom & twin on top if needed.

Chairs are provided on the porch to relax & enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Convenient to many North Fork attractions including The Polebridge Mercantile, Northern Lights Saloon/Restaurant and Glacier National Park. The 'MERC' provides groceries, fresh ground coffee and home baked treats (Danish, bread and sandwiches, etc,) gifts, gas, propane, film, fishing tackle and beer while the Northern Lights Saloon/Restaurant serves excellent food in a rustic style restaurant and pub.

Please note, this cabin (as well as all properties in the North Fork area) is off grid and cannot accommodate a CPAP machine or those with special medical conditions.

The North Fork Road is an unpaved mountain road and the condition is dependent upon the weather conditions. You can expect some potholes due to snow melt, etc. We recommend traveling in a truck or SUV.

Peace and quiet in the woods

We were a little surprised to find that the cabin was not on its own, but with a number of dwellings in close proximity, including Cabin #1 right next to Cabin 2. Fortunately for us, no one was in the other cabin, and we had a lovely quiet time enjoying the view from the deck

Peace and Quiet with amazing views

The cabin is just as described. Very clean and the location from the front porch and windows- words don't do it justice. We lucked out with little to no smoke from local fires effecting our stay. Nice location to the Polebridge GNP entrance, not a bad drive to Going to the Sun Road. Great hikes close to the cabin in the park and outside of the park. Absolutely perfect escape to nature, no cell signal or tech distractions is such a beautiful setting was real treat! Thank you!

To Glacier via Polebridge

The cabin was clean and had most of what we needed. The location to get into Glacier National Park was a real win, although still a drive. The road construction was rough-but we were forewarned. The Nothern Lights and the Merc were great! (Only comments about the cabin was it was quite hot; and the person who slept in top bunk felt the gas fumes from gas lights were quite strong -even with all windows open.) The automatic hot water was greatly appreciated after our days hiking.

I have 3 teenagers, all of them connected at the hip to their IPhones, but they loved being "off the grid" at the cabin. Turns out Polebridge is the best spot in the lower 48 to stargaze, and the first night was a magical display, complete with meteor showers. The interior and furnishings of the cabin show how much the owner cares; tons of huckleberries outside as well- definitely a great experience!

Perfect for a fall visit to Glacier

The cabin is well equipped and comfortable, very clean and maintained. Easy access to Bowman Lake is a big plus. This was our second stay and we will come again. One suggestion is better signage to find the right access roads coming north from the Polebridge Mercantile. We are not familiar enough with the area -and way too mature - to remember exactly where to turn. Luckily memory returned after a couple of wrong turns. Not a big deal but would be helpful.

Great secluded cabin!

This cabin was very clean and rustic. The property managers were very responsive to any needs we had before arriving and during our stay. We gave the "accuracy of listing" 3 out of 5 stars because we would've liked to have had more information about the condition of the road to get there and the fact that there was not electricity available at all hours when we booked it. The road to get to this cabin is incredibly rocky and should really be taken in a vehicle with 4 wheel drive, not a minivan:). The listing says off the grid, which we assumed meant we still had power to run fans, etc., but not cell service. However, the power source is propane, and there is a generator for 1 hour per day. These things would just be good to know before booking. If you are looking for a place to get away from it all, this is your spot!

Wonderful and relaxing vacation!

We loved being off the beaten path, far from the hustle and bustle of GNP with no wi-fi, street or even people noise. The cabin is very clean and comfortable and equipped with everything you need for a nice stay...including warm water! We enjoyed the views of the lovely mountains, watching deer roam out our winder and the great trout fishing in walking distance. My son caught at least 30 trout on a single evening! We will definitely come back again!

Snug and Quiet

Snug and quiet stay in a very clean cabin. Really enjoyed sitting on the porch on warm evenings. I removed a star for “accuracy of listing” at the behest of my husband, who felt the listing’s photo of the view should have more accurately captured that there are large piles of chopped down trees and soil in front and to the side of the cabin. Still beautiful, though.

Amazingly perfect

The cabin was the perfect escape from the busyness of life. Bowman lake is close for paddle boarding, swimming or enjoying the beauty of Glacier. Polebridge is perfect for food and drinks. The cabin is secluded, clean, and peaceful. Stargazing is the best and the morning sunrise is beautiful. We hope to stay again sometime.

The Good, Bad, and Ugly

The Good - cabin was rustic and beautiful. Everything you needed was in the cabin. The oil lamps made you think you were back in time. The Bad - several info pieces in the cabin stated if you do this or don’t do that you will be charged $$ dollars. While I understand there is a small population of guests who would abuse staying privileges I am one and estimate 95% of guests care for the property like they would there own so I felt it was punitive to have these messages in the cabin. The ugly - we were responsible for hauling any trash to a dump. A website was provided to city services to find the dump but having no cell service we didn’t find the dump and ended up hauling our trash about 200 miles to find a place to dump it. I feel that after paying a cleaning and other services fee that I shouldn’t have to haul my trash away and if you didn’t you would be charged $$’s. So if you are ok with the later two points I would highly recommend this cabin

Great location, amazing cabin

We rented both cabin 1&2 and the hosts were terrific with the description and detail on check in. No cell service there so you need to follow instructions and they were very clear. Can’t think of anything the cabin was lacking. Great distance to Polebridge and to the river for cooling off. The decor was adorable and the shower at the end of a hot dusty day was just perfect. Would have liked to be able to bbq but not allowed. Mattress was alittle hard for us but only negative I can say. Would bring a foam top next time. Thank you so much!!

Did not disappoint!

Very clean place, would stay here again! Had everything we needed. We enjoyed being further away from the park and more in the back country. Mountain View wasn’t as good as picture because trees are grown up. Our favorite hike was the hidden lake overlook! It was snowing, it felt like we were in a winter wonderland. Thank you for letting us stay here!
