Very quaint little cabin in a convinient spot right outside Glacier. Was very well upkept and super affordable. Really enjoyed our time at the cabin, got to use the sauna as well. Will look for this spot if we're ever in the area again.

Cabin is on Rte 2 and there is a train track behind the cabin. We thought staying there was an adventure and would return if we ever pass that way again. Get your provisions before you get there because of winding roads to get everywhere you go and nothing is nearby! But it is a quaint and adorable cabin!
Cozy and warm inside

The stay was great. They had everything I needed. The location was good for me as it was between West Glacier and East Glacier which took driving to Many Glacier and Two Medicine less crowded. The only downside was absolutely no service for AT&T cell. I would stay again!

Loved returning to the sauna in evening

The cabin & bath house were a wonderful little break for our Glacier Trip. Being able to grill our food & hang out on the covered porch with a glass of wine was nice. Only downside was the traffic noise of Hwy 2 when outside. The trains were rhythmic in their passing, so we became used to them & their sound lulled us to sleep. The sauna was amazing and really helped us relax after a long day in the park. We liked the location being able to go between West Glacier one day and East Glacier area easily the next day.

Super clean, comfy bed and chairs, outside seating area, nice sauna. Drawbacks! Too close to hwy. And trains . We are. 66 and 71, so having to walk to a separate bath house was not good. But the price was good

Close to Going-to-the-Sun Road!

Had a good time overall and was comfortable to sleep in. Property has a full bathroom with sauna (which was AMAZING for after a long day of hiking). Wifi is good since there is no cell service (which was very expected due to the remoteness). Only downside that we wish we would’ve known beforehand was that every few weeks the whole area (from East to West Glacier) loses power for a few hours. Thankfully we got power back the same day but it was a few hours later on our first day which didn’t make check in super fun. There are ongoing forest fires going on near (not visibly so) the cabin, so if you’re planning a visit soon don’t be alarmed. Other than that, nice place!

Traditional Cabin

We enjoyed our stay. It is a unique cabin experience. Close to GP and several hiking trails. I used the sauna all 3 days - very nice! Plenty of hot water! Mosquito netting/screen around the porch would be a nice addition-we we’re chased inside 1 night during our stay. I would recommend to anyone that wants a stay away from the norm and in a more rustic setting.

Good spot close to Glacier and a lot of other fun sights.

Stayed here 3 nights and got to enjoy Glacier National Park, Stanton Lake, White fish lake, and completed a decent amount of hiking trails. Gas grill on site ready to go with the cooking utensils if you need it.

Unaware that the train tracks and highway were as close as they were. But it was still quite tolerable.

A nice a little cabin

My wife and I stayed here for part of our Honeymoon. The cabin was very comfortable and we were impressed with the quality of the shower and sauna rooms. We can tell that the host has put a lot of effort into this cabin. We didn't use the grill, but appreciated that it was there. The only downside of our stay was that the cabin is in between a railroad and highway, which made it a little hard to sleep at night.

A very nice home away from home

A nice size cabin with everything you need to feel at home. The host treated us with a very good coffee, supply of drinkable water and a bottle of wine. Very clean, nice Finnish sauna and the bathroom located in the next door cabin, easy to get to. Close to Highway 2 and the railway traffic, you can get used to. The host extremely good in communication.

Enjoyable stay

This small cabin is right in between the east and west entrance to the park. It made accessing the park easy. The cabin was very clean and having the option to sauna after a long day of hiking was nice. Be prepared to hear trains throughout the night and cars along the highway as this little cabin is a stones throw away from both. Besides that, it was perfect!
