Very enjoyable stay in this cabin. Kitchen was well equipped for anything you need for cooking. Coffee and tea, as well as a good selection of spices were provided. Outside propane BBQ grill was nice to have available. Very convenient location for access to the Apgar west entrance or the Two Medicine lake east entrance to the park. We would definitely stay at the Bear Den again if we come back to Glacier!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The Pros: Good location situated half way between West and East side of the park but there is still one-half hour drive to either side so factor that in to daily plan. It would be a good idea to take a portable heater and lamp as it is an older cabin and the lighting is a challenge. The bathroom was cold. However, the housekeeper was very nice and prompt and brought both items to us.

Nice little cabin in the woods!

Very comfortable and nicely appointed cabin in the woods. Bed was very comfy! Furniture was great. Stayed 3 nights and cooked all meals. Kitchen and grill were great! Close enough to Glacier. Only two wall heaters. Took a little to get used to.

Cute cabin. It was just what we needed for our stay. They had maps and recommendations for hikes and things to do and places to eat in a book. Even had bear spray so we didn’t have to buy any.
