IN TOWN of Hungry Horse, 12 minutes Glacier National Park

Security camera showing the shared driveway.
Young and young at heart really like this small, (400 sq ft) but very cozy cabin; older folks, not so much, mainly because of only 12” along sides of Queen bed. We were comfortable with that, you may be too. 1424429 is our (other) property for those interested in more space.

Great Little Place

Our stay was only 4 nights and the cabin was exactly as described. Everything we needed was there including extras in the medicine cabinet and snacks in the living room. Our hosts always answered quickly and had great books there for local attractions. It was a nice private location but close to Glacier and local restaurants and activities. Thanks for a great vacation!

Wonderful stay! So many little “extras” showed the hosts really care about their guests. Cabin was very comfortable, communication was almost immediate, and we loved all the information provided about local attractions, suggested activities, easy vs more difficult hiking trails, favorite restaurants, etc. They even remembered we were celebrating my daughter’s birthday and wished her a happy birthday in their welcome note! Our only complaint is that we didn’t get to see any bears- our own faults for coming after they started hibernating… maybe next time. Excellent stay, overall!

Perfect Little Getaway

My friend and I stayed here for a girls trip. The house was the perfect size and set up with all the necessities for a trip. Everything was clean and tidy. The hosts provided great information for local spots to check out while visiting. The location is close to Glacier NP, Columbus Falls and Kalispel. We very much enjoyed this visit and would stay here again!

Cozy cabin with amazing amenities

The cabin was only 10 minutes from entrance to Glacier NP. Soon after we booked this, the owners, Jennifer and Elo, contacted us to let us know we would need a special entry pass for Going to the Sun highway, with instructions how to get one. This information saved us from the disappointment we heard from many other visitors. In addition to all the normal pots, pans, utensils, they provided bathrobes and slippers, and there was a hammock in the back, and a picnic table and camping chairs so we could eat outside. They even provided items we could borrow for our visit to the park, such as a cooler, bear bells, and even bear spray! (Bear spray is recommended for many hikes, but it is very expensive and we would probably never need it back home.) I enjoyed the porch swing in the afternoons, and watching TV from comfy lounge chairs in the evening. We had a wonderful stay here.

Cabin with everything you’d want in your vacation home away from home.

This is a “must stay, don’t miss out” perfect cabin . We arrived to find a comfortable set up for our temporary home away from home. Jennifer and Elo, our hosts, thought of every little detail. From spices and coffee in the kitchen to bathroom/toiletry items for use. Things in the kitchen are clearly labeled and easy to find which allowed us to cook some of our own meals. Bathrobes artfully placed on one of the most comfortable beds we’ve slept on welcomed us on our arrival. Bear bells and spray to borrow for the backwoods hikes, also included. At night we kicked back on the comfortable couch in the living room area, admiring the hummingbirds and relaxing. Suggestions of their favorite places to eat, shop, and hike were extremely helpful. When you’re in the area you want to go local and the recommendations helped us to do that. Easy access in and out through the code system made coming and going effortless. Communication before, during and at the end of our stay was clear and helpful. Directions to the home and in the home were straightforward. When we left in the morning to go explore, we were excited to come back to our little home in Hungry Horse. There’s even Wi-Fi and many options on the TV. If we’re lucky enough to get to come back to the Glacier National Park area, we will definitely plan on booking our stay at this same place. We were very busy, so on our next stay we hope to have time to enjoy a campfire in the backyard. Campfire ring, chairs, picnic table, wood, and gas grill- all provided. Quiet and safe neighborhood just one block off the main road gave us good nights sleep, and also easy access to West Glacier and surrounding areas. We couldn’t have asked for a better place and we were very happy with our choice. Perfect stay for two (or one).

A true gem with phenomenal hosts!!

What a find! The cabin was so cute and well appointed. They provide everything you can possibly want or need. Everything is clearly labeled. Jennifer was absolutely phenomenal in her communications. Even suggested some Glacier Facebook groups that were very helpful. Very convenient to west Glacier. Thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the front porch swing after a long day of hiking watching the wild turkeys wandering about! If back in West Glacier we would definitely stay here again!!

It had everything you need for a stay including bathroom toiletries, bear spray and bells, hiking poles, all things need in the kitchen, and so much more.

Fantastic location, great stay

My wife and I rented this cabin for our anniversary trip to glacier national park. The location in hungry horse was perfect for us, as we would spend a lot of time in the park and in Columbia Falls/Whitefish for dinners. It was in the middle of everything. The property managers were very kind and very helpful. They gave fantastic recommendations and a good “heads-up” when needed. The cabin itself is a quaint little place, but it has everything you need and suited our needs perfectly. Thank you!!

Glacier NP Getaway

This little cabin was PERFECT for my husband & I! It had all the necessities with a little extra Montana hospitality!. Comfy bed, all the necessities to cook for 2, provided coffee (whole beans with grinder- my favorite), robes, towels, hammock, and TV with Netflix to rest after a long day hike. Also, they had multiple guides on where to hike and how to prepare for GNP provided, guides on where to eat, and other activities, and places to explore outside of the park. Jennifer and Elo were amazing hosts! They were very responsive to all inquiries, typically within 10 minutes or less. They provided great detail and provided some tips on events that would be in the area before our arrival to help us plan our trip. I would highly recommend any property they own! Love, Love, LOVED our trip and HUGE Thank You to our hosts! GNP, eat, bathe, sleep, repeat!

Cozy cabin close to Glacier

This cozy cabin was perfect for our trip to Glacier National Park. Less than 15 minutes from the west entrance made getting to the park a breeze. There was a full kitchen and a recliner for each of us in the living room. We also made use of the gas grill in the back yard. The hosts were kind enough to supply detergent for use at the local laundry. Jennifer was extremely communicative and offered advice on the park entry system and local activities. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
