A real retreat

From the moment our reservation was confirmed, owner Ken was responsive to our questions. He gave us numerous tips about visiting the area attractions including some we were unaware of. The cabin had everything we needed. We would gladly recommend that family and friends stay here.

The BEST place

This place is absolutely perfect. It was so spacious, cozy, cute, and clean. The cabin is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The king bed is comfortable. The bathroom is spacious. Ken was absolutely fantastic! He made sure we had everything we needed, gave us hiking and dining recommendations, and came over to ask if we needed to dry anything after he knew we had hiked in the rain all day. The little deck gets afternoon shade, so when it wasn't raining, it was the perfect place to have an after-hike drink. I will absolutely stay here every time I come back.

Perfect place to stay while exploring the East side of Glacier National Park. Ken and Gena are excellent hosts. They were a wealth of information about the area’s sights, hikes, and restaurants which was helpful. The cabin was super clean, comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. We stayed 5 nights in early July and spent our days in the Many Glacier area of the park plus one day in Canada to see Waterton Lakes NP area. It was nice to come back to the Hiker’s Retreat each night to cook dinner and relax before the next busy day. It was great having a comfortable King size bed, WiFi for research, texting and calling, a large beautiful bathroom and a fully stocked kitchen. We also used the grill one night and Gena brought us some fresh sugar snap peas from a local farmer’s market. This cabin is about a mile down a dirt road in a quiet rural lake neighborhood but is close (easy drive) to Babb and the St.Mary’s entrance and Many Glacier entrance of the park. There were several restaurants and a grocery store and gas station within 10 miles. Ken and Gena live behind the cabin so are close if you need anything but respect your privacy. Would definitely recommend!

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!

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!

By far this was one of the nicest vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. It had everything you could imagine, my favorite items were the comfy robe and slippers! Ken and Gina live behind the cabin on the property and are there with helpful advice such as good hiking trails and places to eat. When the lights started flickering because of the approaching storm Gina came over with candles. It’s conveniently located near the Many Glacier entrance and St Mary’s. We stayed there 5 nights and really enjoyed it

Welcoming Host + Peaceful Stay

We stayed for 4 nights in Babb and wished we had more time on this side of Glacier NP. We split our time between West and East Glacier and didn’t want to leave. Ken and his wife were gracious hosts and gave us a wealth of advice/tips of what to do. We were so appreciative of their home and would love to come back to visit. Highly recommend!

Hiking Glacier with our daughter

This place was the perfect hikers cabin. Great location close to both St. Mary's and Many Glacier entrances to the park which have the best hikes....just make sure you have your daily car permit reserved in advance. The cabin was wonderfully cozy to return to after a full day of hiking. The hosts were helpful and attentive. The kitchen and bathroom was fully stocked with lots of extra thoughtful items (like spices and butter should you forget to bring). Hope to be back again!

Awesome Property

Location to St. Mary and Many Glacier entrances was fantastic. Cabin is larger than pictured and the most fully stocked rental we've ever stayed in, literally had everything! The owners checked in with us right away to make sure we had everything we needed and offered great recommendations on hikes and where to eat. My ONLY complaint is the water pressure. It was difficult to get clean in the shower because the water is a trickle. I would still stay here again though.

Perfection in every way!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay. The cabin is exactly as described and pictured in the listing and Ken is a wealth of knowledge about the area. However, the real reason you come here is the location and it doesn’t get much better than this spot. Close to Many Glacier, St. Mary and even Waterton if you bring your passport. Also not far from Two Medicine which is also beautiful and less crowded.My only negative is the water pressure is a little weak but not enough to keep me from re-booking next time I’m in the area.
