First Trip to Canada
First trip to Glacier, we looked for a location that would work best for our agenda and this was it. NAILED IT! Down the road basically from everything you need. The residence is very spacious as advertised. The back deck areas are very comfortable. Was quite fond of the view.Well done! Thanks

Fine place to stay
Overall this is an excellent place, but it badly needs new pots and pans. Current ones are scratched up and/or have very loose handles. And a new can opener. Response to problems is generally pretty quick. It is quiet. Great washer, dryer, and dishwasher. Upstairs heat was not a big problem but we closed off some the downstairs AC vents. Plus we were there in cooler weather. Could use a window screen in the queen room.Would stay there again (in hopes they have better pots and pans).

Convenient to West Glacier
We have never stayed in a rental that had EVERYTHING with no need to buy anything except food.
Comfortable and cozy from the indoor fireplace to the screened porch. Lots of space and quiet area.

Amazing place for Glacier National Park
This place was perfect for a base of operations for day hikes at Glacier National Park. Easy 30 minute drive to the Apgar entrance to the park. Close to Glacier Park International airport. Four beds and a fouton. Two full bathrooms and a washer/dry. This is the perfect place to eat breakfast every day and come back and hang out after a hike.

Great place. Warm upstairs but fixable.
I really enjoyed staying here. The place had everything we needed and was closer to GNP that most other places we looked at. It was very clean and spacious. The shower did make a funny squealing noise most of the time, but it wasn’t a big deal. It did seem warm upstairs even with the a/c running. So my husband closed all the vents downstairs, and we slept well upstairs. We didn’t have anyone sleeping downstairs, but I think anyone sleeping downstairs would have been cool enough even with the vents closed. The noise from the highway didn’t bother me at all. Overall, this place was great, and I would definitely stay there again.

This house was about as perfect as it gets for a family vacation near Glacier National Park. The house was well stocked with everything we needed especially the kitchen which was appreciated as we tend to cook quite a bit while on vacation. It was also very conveniently located for all the things we wanted to do while visiting Glacier National Park.

Perfect For Glacier
This house is perfect for a visit to glacier national Park as it was only 15 to 20 minutes away from that west entrance! There are enough beds and rooms for a big family. We loved sitting out on the covered porch and watching the deer pass through in the morning and the evening. Very clean, kitchen is pretty well stocked. The upstairs is a bit hot at night even with the fans on, but we managed. Great place!

Wonderful location as we explored Glacier Park and the surrounding area. The house has a good layout, and we especially enjoyed the screen porch and grill! The only downside was the evening traffic noise.
