Clean comfortable stay in a cabin near Glacier Park

We had a delightful stay while visiting Glacier. The cabin was immaculate. Cleanliness is important to us and it exceeded our expectations. We had our long term friends from Washington State meet us there. The cabin was perfect for our needs. The two separate bathrooms were a plus. The beds were comfortable and we all slept great. We also enjoyed the large table for evenings with a puzzle or games.

Great location for Glacier

Nice, clean, location close to the park. I thought it was more isolated but it was in a neighborhood. It was very quiet though. 2 good size bedrooms and baths. Coffee was provided which was great. No soap for a shower or bath but that was the only thing we lacked.

Short layover while visiting Glacier. Pro: Gina is great. Prosecco on counter is nice touch. Pro: Nice, clean space Small nit: no check in info prior to arrival. Not a big deal for us. Gina arrived about 10m after we arrived. Small nit: the mixed towel collection caught my eye. Not a big deal and definitely happens with other VRBOs but such an easy fix in the era of AmazonBasics. Note that neighbors are not the tidiest, one a logger and another with yard of junk and hay bailing equipment. Also note not the best if you are looking for screaming Wi-Fi, but you are next to Glacier so shouldn’t be a priority anyway. Overall, good place to stay. Only took off a star for check in and another for neighbors. 5 stars for all other categories.

Great place to stay!

We enjoyed our stay at the Glacier Retreat! The proximity to West Glacier is really great and allowed us flexibility to come and go from the park. The house had everything we needed. Gina is great and she gave us some suggestions on places to go/see. If we ever make it back to Glacier we would stay there again.

A great stay for our family

We really enjoyed our stay here for 4 nights. The house had everything we needed. Plenty of space for the three of us. The kitchen and grill were great. The house was very clean. The neighborhood was quiet and convenient to Glacier National Park (about 15 min away). We picked up groceries nearby in Columbia Falls. My son loved fishing and catching some small lake trout near the Blankenship bridge only 5 minutes away. Gina was quick to respond to messages and check-in was very easy. We would definitely love to stay here again!

Awesome accommodations

Perfect location to explore Glacier National Park. Just 15 minutes from the west entrance. Well equipped and clean. Having 2 bathrooms was very important. Gina was available when we needed her and communicated as needed. Only complaint the WiFi was intermittent. But the idea was to not be tuned into electronics… right?

Just what we needed

This house was a gem for our family of 8. The house looks small from the outside but felt roomy and homey on the inside. The design is neat and simple, an open setup. Everything is clean and tasteful, all hardwood and tile floors, no extra cluttery decor. We were thrilled at the long kitchen table with benches as it's rare to find a table that fits us with room to spare. Gina responded to my questions almost immediately which is so helpful when traveling. We would definitely recommend!

The Perfect Home Base for Glacier Family Vaca!

This property is amazing! Everything is extremely clean and tidy. The open concept was great for my 1 year old to play. The full bath with a tub was perfect as well. There are two bathrooms and you can run both at the same time with warm water. The softened water was a really nice plus! Gina is a great host, from inquiring about staying, to the day we left, she stayed in contact with us and ensured we had everything that we needed even the day she was on vacation herself. That was impressive! You can tell she genuinely cares about ensuring you have an amazing time. The kitchen was well stocked to include two crockpots which was great hiking all day and coming home to an easy meal. The town is really close by to get groceries which was RARE when we were looking to find a place to stay. It’s quiet and peaceful during the day and night yet 5 minutes from the West Glacier gate. This is the only rental property around so there’s not a ton of traffic, it’s peaceful. Being able to park and drive right up to the home is another major plus for loading and unloading the car everyday. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and enjoying the nature and quiet breeze and cuddling up on the couches and watching movies.
