Overall this was a great place. The best thing about it was the location! Amazing to be able to be this close to the park, but also close to anything we needed and other fun towns like Bigfork. The space was comfortable, and nice. It made for a great time in Glacier!

Great proximity to West entrance of Glacier. We rented a family apartment and it worked out great! Complementary laundry. Only thing that was bad was frying pans (as is usually the case in a rental- I’m sure it’s hard to keep them up) so I bring my own. Otherwise great rental .

The place was far bigger, and newer than we expected and it was a lovely, relaxing place to retreat to after Glacier National Park. The kitchen was well stocked, and everything we needed was there. This place was fantastic, and a great value.
