About this property

Glacier Ridge - Chalet on Divide Ridge overlooking Glacier Park and St Mary Lake

Glacier Ridge Chalet is a two story style home, built on an acreage on Hudson's Bay Divide Ridge overlooking St. Mary Lake. The chalet is positioned on a scenic overlook point on land settled by Jack Wagner in early 1900’s and is based on a private 180 acre land parcel.

This home is one of the most unique hand crafted dwellings in the Babb/St. Mary area. Amazing local wildlife that will make it feel like your own private zoo. The highlight is a hot tub with a 270° view of Glacier Park, the Rockies and Chief Mountain and dark sky for star gazing and contemplation.

The area is a wildlife corridor with elk, deer, moose, horses, and bear frequently observed right outside your door, from the hot tub or the over-sized fire pit area. This is a great venue for a peaceful vacation or for multiple families to connect.

The Glacier Ridge chalet has 3 rooms that can sleep 8. The downstairs bedrooms have twin bunks over the lower queen beds. The chalet is child friendly and situated completely off leash. There is a sofa and air mattress which sleeps 2 more.

The upstairs area is handcrafted wood with ample seating for all guests with 300° of window expanse that allows viewing of the entire Babb/St. Mary area. There is a small upper deck for animal viewing and star gazing. The chalet is located in a Dark Sky zone allowing for incredible start gazing and occasional viewing of the Northern Lights to the North in late summer through the fall.

Glacier Ridge is 1 km down a private road from the renowned Duck Lake Lodge. The lodge offers a full restaurant, pizza oven and road house bar with local entertainment a few nights during the week. Glacier Ridge is located 5 km outside of Babb and 12 km outside of St. Mary. Cellular coverage is by both Verizon, Rogers and limited AT&T networks.

The Chalet is on the West side of Divide Ridge and overlooks the West Rockies. Spectacular Sunset viewing location.

Amazing views!!!

We loved this house as our base for the Many Glacier and St Mary entrances into Glacier NP. After strenuous morning hikes, it was wonderful to come back to the house and relax in the hot tub watching the sunset. We would love to stay here again!

Many Glacier area

Love the house and the quietness of the location. 35 minutes to Many Glacier and 10 minutes to St Mary’s. The house is a great place to recover after hiking. Grill worked great and lots of area to prepare your own meals. Really enjoyed our stay!

Million Dollar View

The pictures don't do this justice. The views are incredible, we spent a lot of time on the porch, hot tub and fire pit enjoying the awesome views. The interior worked out great for the 6 of us. The upstairs living room(seating area) is spectacular. The location worked out well for us providing access to two of the entrances to Glacier National Park.

Wake up to the Rockies

We needed a one-night VRBO for our family on the east side of Glacier. We found this cabin listed, and it was perfect. The setting is great for access to St. Mary Visitor Center and Many Glacier, and the cabin was perfect for our group of 10. (Just a warning to anyone on the east side of Glacier during the off-season. There are limited amenities and stores; food tends to be limited and expensive, so plan ahead.)

Incredible—a new favorite

We stayed last week at this cabin and I’m not sure what I was expecting but it exceeded that ten fold. The views from inside and out of the cabin are amazing. Driving up to the property I couldn’t believe the views and it only got better from there. The host was friendly, respectful, and a joy. Cabin had anything you could need. East glacier is where we would stay any future trips and will try for this cabin every time. Peaceful, beautiful, and magical. I can’t say enough great things!

Can't beat the view from the hot tub

Awesome house located on a ridge with lovely views of the mountains of Glacier National Park. House had plenty of room for our family of 5. Saw deer, elk, and a fox during our short stay. Ate dinner at tge nearby Duck lake Lodge one evening, and it was good. Quick and easy trip into the Many Glacier and St. Mary areas of the park. Overall, we will definitely stay here on our next Glacier trip.

Great location with amazing views.

Beautiful property! We had such a lovely evening relaxing and enjoying the views. The cabin was cozy and welcoming. The pellet stove kept us toasty when the spring rain rolled through. The location is prime for accessing the east side of Glacier and offers a lot of peace and solitude. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect place for visiting East Glacier

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It is like a luxurious log cabin, the pictures don’t do it justice. Clean, modern, and comfortable with magnificent views. Loved the hot tub especially after a cold rainy horseback trail ride. Definitely get groceries before checking in or make a 30 min drive to the nearest store. The only problem was I wish we had more time to stay there.

Beautiful property!

We enjoyed our time exploring the east side of Glacier National Park, as well as Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada, and Glacier Ridge was a perfect home base for our family. The house was spacious and clean, and the views of the mountains from virtually anywhere in the house or on the property were incredible. Close to Many Glacier, St. Mary, and a short jaunt to the Canadian border on Chief Mountain Road. An easy day trip and worth it! Bring your passports!

Paradise on Earth

Absolutely spectacular property and house to use as your base camp for all things Glacier NP and surrounding areas. Jon the very friendly owner is close by on site and very easy to communicate with and really wants to make sure you have everything you need for the best possible stay. Only 20 minutes from the entrances to Many Glacier and St Mary’s, and some fun little local restaurants in the area including the Duck Lake Lodge on the same road as the property is on. Wonderful abundant property that we and our dogs loved to explore. Can’t wait to come back!
