This is a really great place with amazing views. Very well stocked with many basics for cooking and hiking. There are a number of cans of bear spray available at the house, so you don't need to rent/buy more. Had trouble with the satellite TV, but didn't really need to watch anything. One thing that would be helpful to add to rental agreement is that the road name off highway 2 is "Giefer Creek Rd". That's what's on the sign that you see after you spot the "Glacier Meadow RV Park" sign. People have been very generous and left non-perishable items for other visitors to use. Would definitely recommend this house!

Secluded peace with beautiful views. We enjoyed five days at this lovely cabin. While it is a bit dated, it boasts gorgeous wood work, spacious areas to relax, well stocked kitchen, washer and dryer and is spotless. Beds and pillows are comfortable. While my husband and I loved our stay and being disconnected, others in our party didnt adapt well to no internet. It's a great location for East Glacier with stunning views. We would love to stay here again.

Out of all of the five houses we stayed on this trip this home had the best view. It was a good size home and had everything you needed except for Wi-Fi and enough hot water. We knew there would be no Wi-Fi but didn't realize how much we would be affected. Not needing it for social media but to Simply communicate with the owners about only having enough hot water for two showers at a time, and being able to do maps to figure out where we were going as well as have the ability to go online and book entrance times for the Westgate. We did drive to the local steakhouse to get some internet at one point. The house was clean and had wonderful decks to have coffee or dinner on. Very private. We did get charged extra people fee with six adults and a 4-month-old with his own bed even though the house holds more... so you may want to look at that. The king downstairs was comfortable, the Queen's upstairs were more firm. The entryway with all of the hooks were perfect for backpacks and whatnot. There's a TV in one bedroom upstairs and the family room has a TV as well. The TV upstairs runs off of the remote from the downstairs TV just FYI. Overall it was a very pleasant stay just please know if you need to research anything to do it way ahead of time, and download Maps or go somewhere so you can communicate with others. Thank you.

Our kids were a bit apprehensive about staying at a house without Wi-Fi (or cell service), but they did not miss it! The house was inviting for our group in a beautiful setting. The mountains were so close and the house was very private. The kitchen was nicely equipped and we had some great meals around the dining table. Beds allowed for comfortable sleeping for all. If we were in the area again, we would definitely stay here!

Fantastic Backwoods Get-a-way!!

This property was amazing! Fantastic views of Elk Mountain right off the deck. It was extremely clean and well taken care of. The property was in the perfect location almost right in the middle between east and west glacier entrances. There is no WiFi/internet or cell service! Which was very peaceful for us. Plenty of towels, dishes, and general houseware needs. We definitely recommend staying here!

Multigenerational trip to GNP

This cabin exceeded all our needs. There were things there that werent even listed I'm sure because they may or may not be there the next time. We ended up in East Glacier many days and in West Glacier many days as well. It t takes timeto go anywhere there so just know that ut will take time . The deck was wondeful watching the trains across the valley and the birds were abundant. Our kids LOVED the bunk beds. We were gone most days but it was an awesome place to come back and shower and rest and eat. showttime.

Another Great Stay

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. It is a wonderful location to visit Two Medicine. The cleanliness of the property was outstanding. We enjoyed our evenings sitting on the deck, watching the trains go by and the view of Elk Mountain. We love the seclusion of the property and will return again.

Near Glacier National Park

The house is exceptionally clean and maintained. With 4 bedrooms, it is perfect for a larger family or groups of couples traveling together. The kitchen is well stocked with all necessary staples. It is isolated and private (about 20 minutes from East Glacier); we found it refreshing after the hustle and bustle of busy days in Glacier with crowds and traffic. Follow the instructions given by the owner to find the house; do not rely on GPS or try to find it for the first time after dark. We definitely would stay here again and would recommend it if you don’t mind not having cell service and being a bit off the beaten path.

Great location, beautiful & comfortable, no cell service, no wifi

Lovely view, private, perfectly centrally located between West & East Glacier. Comfortable beds, comfy living room, very nice kitchen. Beautiful decks, great decor. No wine glasses & no corkscrew (well, there should be one now, I left one.) The fabulous Summit Mountain Steakhouse about 5 minutes away. Perfect for what we wanted, but if you need to make 7pm reservations for next day in the park, you’re screwed.

Perfect Spot For All of Glacier National Park

We were in town for a race, and this house fit our needs perfectly. It is located between West and East Glacier, making it the perfect spot for exploring all areas. It is very secluded, which we loved. There was no cell phone or internet service, which we also loved! The kitchen was stocked well and had more than your usual rental. The beds were nice. The views off of the deck were great. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area!

Better than the photos

For a single-stay vacation in Glacier NP this is the one. Halfway between West entrance and St. Mary (about 1 hour to each) and nestled in the National Forest woods. Quiet. Secluded. Spacious. Epic views out the back deck. We loved our stay here and would gladly come back.

Was perfect for 2 families

Clean, beautiful and a good compromise on accessing multiple areas of the park. Just right for eight people. Nine can work, depending on age, sex and appropriateness of cohabitating. Besides that enough space for eating lounging and showering. Needed an adjustable wrench and the caretaker let us borrow one and was really nice. Beautiful view of the mountains off the deck and the National Forest starts right in your back yard. Highly recommend.

Great cabin but poor communication.

Cabin was awesome! Clean and great decor. No Wi-Fi or cell service so hard to ask owner questions. Felt I got smart ass answers instead of just a simple answer. Also no way to contact anyone in case of emergency. Not very secure. Key tied to a string outside. Yes out in the middle of nowhere but a simple keypad would be better. Much further from Glacier than I expected.

Glacier Vacation

Wow!! We loved our stay at Robert’s cabin. Perfectly located for our trips to both East and West Glacier, the cabin is secluded with the most beautiful view off the back deck. We loved watching the trains! The interior and furnishings were immaculate. The kitchen was well-stocked and perfect for cooking large meals. The washer and dryer was a huge plus. From bedding to linens to decor- everything was just top notch. We also appreciated Robert’s excellent recommendation for horseback riding at Snowy Springs. Shawn and his team were wonderful with the most well-behaved, sweetest trail horses!! We’re already thinking about our next visit. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cabin!!

A Perfect Place to Stay

This property was absolutely perfect for our family. It was immaculately clean and very well stocked. We had 4 adults and 3 children and we fit very comfortably in the space. The location worked wonderfully for us as well, essentially right in between the west and eastern park entrances, so we could go either direction without having to drive too far to get into the park. We loved staying here and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit this beautiful area!

Nice stay away from it all

It was an enjoyable stay while visiting Glacier. Quick 30-45 minutes from either gate. No internet, which was already communicated, so don’t expect to get signal either. East Glacier was the best location for wifi, especially at the Lodge. Property was nice, but very overgrown around the house. Didn’t make use of the fire pit because of all the vegetation. Owner states there is satellite tv available, but we never got it to work. Just a word of warning, the train track is just across the valley and constantly goes back and forth ALL day and night. Really wasn’t an issue if you don’t mind the noise; fortunately the whistle was never blown. Overall, an enjoyable stay.

Gorgeous house with a beautiful mountain view

The view from the balconies was fantastic. Mountains and trees for days. We ate our breakfast outside and listened to the birds and the distant train. So picturesque! The house was squeaky clean. If I didn't know any better I would have thought we were the first occupants. All of the furniture, stair rail, counters, floors, cabinets look new. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything a family needs for cooking. There were ziploc bags, laundry detergent, seasonings, coffee, tea and so much more available to use. Comfy beds, excellent pillows. Lots of towels. If I had to be picky, the downstairs shower is pretty funky and not having wifi was inconvenient at times when we needed to look up information. And bring your own wine opener :-) We have stayed at 25+ vacation rentals over the years. This property is in the top 3 for views, comfort and cleanliness.

Great place!

Directions to the property could be a lot better. We arrived after dark and had a tough time finding it. Directions should note street name is Geifer Creek Road. The “campground” mentioned in the directions is actually named RV Patk Glacier Meadow. The metal cactuses mentioned are covered in vines and not very recognizable as cactus. The “yellow” sign mentioned is so faintly colored that none of us thought it was yellow.
