About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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!

Best East Glacier Stay

The A-Frame was perfect! Not only because of the cleanliness, closeness to St. Mary, Many Glacier, and Two Medicine entrances, peacefulness, and sunsets, but mainly because of the great owners! Anything you need to know about the area and hiking, they have the answers and are the absolute friendliest people. Thank you Kenneth and Gena for sharing your slice of heaven with us and all you did for us while we were visiting!

Great Cabin on East Side of Glacier

This sweet little A frame is bigger than it looks. Ken and Gena are so hospitable and they’re full of great hiking recommendations. They made sure we had everything we needed and more. Located on the East side, it’s much less crowded than the west side which is rather refreshing! It’s just 20 minutes to the St Mary Entrance! We would absolutely stay here again!
