A-Frame Hiker's Retreat

Disconnect, decompress, and disengage from the stresses of daily life in a comfortable, completely refurbished A-frame Cabin. Fall in love with the beauty and solitude here in the heart of one of America's greatest national treasures.

You'll enjoy breathtaking views of Glacier National Park's mountain ranges, waterfalls, and majestic lakes all within a short driving distance to the Many Glacier and St. Marys entrances to the park. Another scenic drive over Chief Mountain Road will take you to the historic town of Waterton located in Waterton National Park Alberta, Canada.
Your home away from home features a fully furnished space complete with kitchenette, separate bathroom and bed accommodations for couples and one or two children.

The proud owners would love to offer their suggestions for dining and recreational opportunities in the area. We have been rafting, biking, and hiking these unique, scenic trails for over 20 years.

The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a fenced private yard, a coffee maker, and a phone.

Amazing stay with the perfect location

We loved our stay at the Hikers Retreat. The hosts are exceptionally helpful, kind and knowledgeable of the local area. The home was very well equipped and comfortable. The location is perfect with quick access to the St Mary entrance and close proximity to Many Glacier, Two Medicine and even Waterton in Canada. We hope to come back soon and stay again!

By far this was one of the nicest vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. It had everything you could imagine, my favorite items were the comfy robe and slippers! Ken and Gina live behind the cabin on the property and are there with helpful advice such as good hiking trails and places to eat. When the lights started flickering because of the approaching storm Gina came over with candles. It’s conveniently located near the Many Glacier entrance and St Mary’s. We stayed there 5 nights and really enjoyed it

Welcoming Host + Peaceful Stay

We stayed for 4 nights in Babb and wished we had more time on this side of Glacier NP. We split our time between West and East Glacier and didn’t want to leave. Ken and his wife were gracious hosts and gave us a wealth of advice/tips of what to do. We were so appreciative of their home and would love to come back to visit. Highly recommend!

Hiking Glacier with our daughter

This place was the perfect hikers cabin. Great location close to both St. Mary's and Many Glacier entrances to the park which have the best hikes....just make sure you have your daily car permit reserved in advance. The cabin was wonderfully cozy to return to after a full day of hiking. The hosts were helpful and attentive. The kitchen and bathroom was fully stocked with lots of extra thoughtful items (like spices and butter should you forget to bring). Hope to be back again!

Cozy and welcoming

Had a great trip to Glacier National Park, and one of the best things about it was this space and hosts. Ken and Gena were a delight, easy to talk with and warm, welcoming people. The space itself was well set up and decorated appropriately. They had everything we needed; just needed to bring ourselves, our clothes/gear, and groceries. Thank you so much, we hope to return on future visits!

Awesome Property

Location to St. Mary and Many Glacier entrances was fantastic. Cabin is larger than pictured and the most fully stocked rental we've ever stayed in, literally had everything! The owners checked in with us right away to make sure we had everything we needed and offered great recommendations on hikes and where to eat. My ONLY complaint is the water pressure. It was difficult to get clean in the shower because the water is a trickle. I would still stay here again though.

Perfection in every way!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay. The cabin is exactly as described and pictured in the listing and Ken is a wealth of knowledge about the area. However, the real reason you come here is the location and it doesn’t get much better than this spot. Close to Many Glacier, St. Mary and even Waterton if you bring your passport. Also not far from Two Medicine which is also beautiful and less crowded.My only negative is the water pressure is a little weak but not enough to keep me from re-booking next time I’m in the area.

Perfect for Glacier National Park

My wife and I had a fantastic stay. The host is extemely friendly and responsive. Upon checkin the host noticed that the coffee he provided was running low. While there was still plenty he dropped off a fresh bag for us the next day. The property is well kept and everything is modern on the inside. There is AC, but we found that the ceiling fan was more than enough. This is a great stay if you are visiting GNP. A very short drive and you are there. Keep in mind that you are about 45 minutes from a grocery store so be sure to stop on your way to the property. You have a fridge along with a stove. There is also a grill outside for your use. Would stay here again!

Excellent stay at the A-frame

We had an excellent three nights at the A-frame Hiker's Retreat. The location is peaceful and comfortable, yet Glacier is very accessible. Close proximity to Many Glacier, the start of GTSR, and a beautiful drive to Two Medicine. We had some of our best hiking while using the A-frame as a base. I can't speak positively enough about how ideal the A-frame is for people visiting Glacier. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, especially after spending several hours on the trails. All details of the space have been carefully thought out, and the hosts were very friendly, generous, and full of excellent advice. We look forward to staying at the A-frame again soon and recommend it without hesitation.

Perfect Base Camp

This property had everything we needed for our trips into Many Glacier and St. Mary areas. We spent most of our time out hiking and exploring the park, and it was nice to come back to that comfy king sized bed. We met with the property owners (who were very friendly), and they gave us a quick tour with some tips and ideas for the area. They also gave us a heads up that due to the water table being low the water pressure was a bit low. I was worried about the shower, but it wasn't as bad I thought it might be. They also had trekking poles and bear spray for us to borrow if we needed it. Overall, it was a 5 star experience, and we would highly recommend!
