Beautiful cabin with the most amazing views!

We had a wonderful stay at this well designed, aesthetically pleasing cabin. The view of the mountains on the ridge is breathtaking! Rob was very communicative and thought of all the amenities for a comfortable stay here. We wished we should’ve stayed longer!

Spectacular Views

Just got back from a week stay and we are still on cloud nine. We are normally tent campers and rarely treat ourselves to a cabin but so glad we did! The cabins and property are beautiful but the views are absolutely gorgeous. We also loved staying in the Polebridge area to get some reprieve from the business of the park. Definitely recommend!!!

Off the grid

If you want to be away from civilization, this is the place to be. Quiet and cozy and definitely off the grid. Host provides all the essentials needed. Close to Bowman Lake, the Polebridge entrance and just 30 minutes down the dirt road to the Camas Creek entrance. Stars are beautiful at night. Made a daily trip to the bakery! Lots of trails were explored. Saw a rare albino deer. Our host was amazing and we had a great time. Definitely will stay here again.

Luxury in the woods

We stayed 10-nights at this well-appointed cabin. We had hoped to spend some time in near-by Glacier Park, but with the road reservation system, I'd advise not to expect day hikes at the park unless reservations are already in place. No worries though as there are plenty of other fun things to do. The cabin itself is lovely and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We BBQed a few nights on the large deck, overlooking a stunning view. It was peaceful, quiet, and in a world far away from crazy. We spent one evening at the nearby Home Ranch Bottoms where there was live music, friendly locals, drinks and burgers. Several evenings were spent at the Polebridge Merchantile / Northern Lights Saloon. What a fabulous experience! A spectacular band played one evening on their large stage out back. It carried a classy backyard rustic vibe where locals came to dance, laugh and mix with neighbors - A truly unique experience in the simplicity of nature! We did have to get some work done while there and had zero problems with the internet. A perfect office away from home! Bring a good book, walking shoes and leave worries behind. A relaxing day at the cabin is in itself a luxury escape. Kudos to our hosts for helping to create this little piece of heaven on earth.
