Great Location, But Disappointed with Security and ComfortThe location of this property was definitely a highlight—convenient and close to entrance to the park. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn’t match the price point.There were several issues that made our stay uncomfortable. Most concerning was the back door, which didn’t lock properly, raising serious security concerns. Additionally, we were surprised to find someone living on-site, which was never mentioned in the listing. This lack of disclosure felt misleading.The master bedroom’s AC unit was another major problem—it was incredibly loud, starting up like a freight train every time it kicked on. It woke us up repeatedly throughout the night, significantly affecting our sleep.The outdoor grill is falling apart as well.With some attention to security and transparency—as well as a quieter AC system—this could be a great rental. But for now, the issues we experienced made it feel overpriced for what we got.

Great house and wonderful location!

We had an amazing time during our trip to Glacier National Park! The house was spacious and met all our needs. There were 6 of us in our family group - 4 adults and 2 children. We enjoyed the comfortable beds, the well-equipped kitchen, the Roku TVs for watching movies in the evening after hiking during our days. There was plenty of room to spread out and relax. We also enjoyed sitting on the deck and making S'mores on the front porch. The kids liked the game area downstairs and also enjoyed the game area outside. The location of the house in West Glacier was very convenient - there were shops and cafes in West Glacier and a large Super 1 Foods grocery store about 15 minutes away. We enjoyed driving to East Glacier and to different areas of the park to sight-see and hike. Our only real disappointment was that a large part of the Going to the Sun Road was not open, but we still saw many incredibly beautiful parts of Glacier Park! Our hosts were very helpful and accommodating! All of this made our trip an amazing adventure!

Outstanding home

We loved staying in this house. The kids had a blast with the mini soccer table and Jenga. Glacier national park was a dream come true vacation. We were able to make meals in the large kitchen and have plenty of room to relax in the rest in the rest of the home. In addition, we enjoyed eating out on the porches which allowed us to take in scenery we most definitely will not see when we head back home. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Great place to stay when visiting Glacier National Park!

LOVED the location!! This house is located immediately outside the west entrance of GNP - as close as you can get without being in the park! Extremely convenient to West Glacier food and activities too. Our family of 6 stayed here for 4 days and had plenty of space to spread out (could've comfortably fit even more!). A little rustic (and a little musty before opening the windows) but clean and suited our needs perfectly! Great stay!!

Awesome West Glacier Stay

I stayed at this property with my husband, two children and another family of four and we all loved staying there. There was plenty of space, it was very clean, and the location was great. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay on the West side of Glacier National Park. The only drawback to this property was that there were no blackout curtains and the sun set very late and rose very early. Bring some sleeping masks and you will be good to go!

Great rental close to western Glacier NP entrance

My family of 7 adults and one teenager really enjoyed staying in this house. Everything was clean and in working order. There was plenty of common area for everyone to relax in both inside and outside the house. The proximity to the entrance to the park and other amenities (groceries, gas, medical clinic, etc.) was great. One of the property managers came by for a friendly check on things while we were there and gave us some useful information on other local places to go. We would definitely rent this house again.
