Custom built West Glacier cabin with private Salt Water Spa

Beautiful crafted Montana cabin with fantastic Mountain View’s set this place as a retreat getaway. Complete your vacation with this “Montana” outdoor experience. With over 2100 sq ft of living space placed on six acres of old growth larch and fir trees, this family homestead land is only one mile from the Glacier National Park entrance.

Enjoy evening campfires and the reason they call this the Big Sky Country! Hiking, biking, rafting, golfing and fishing are almost right out the front door. (This property is not on a river or a lake as described by VRBO due to recent AI descriptions. VRBO notified us that this cannot be changed. Our proximity is minutes away from lakes, a river and a golf course. See map location). After an active day of fun, relax in the newly installed open air Hot Tub.

We are one half mile from public access on the famed Middle Fork River and The West Glacier Golf Course. You can bike into the park to Apgar from the property on bike trails. (4 mountain bikes provided) or have a close base camp for the many scenic hikes within Glacier National Park.

This private cabin is equipped with conveniences of satellite television and WIFI while maintaining the cabin feel with a craftsman like detail to attention. Log beds and end tables crafted from trees harvested on the property truly make it one of a kind.

Enjoy an evening barbecue on the spacious front deck while enjoying the beauty of the mountains. Soak in the seven person Hot water Spa after a day of hiking from your private and personal elevated deck. Take an evening walk and catch a view of area wildlife or stay home or see them from the deck! Huckleberries have been in our front yard many years.
Rafting, fishing and biking outfitters are close by.

Great Northern Railway chairman of the board Louis Hill dubbed the rugged mountains of Glacier National Park "America's Alps." Between 1909 and 1913, the Great Northern Railway constructed the Belton Chalet complex under Hills direction. It was the first of the Great Northern Railway's sprawling hotels to serve Glacier National Park created in 1910. (Montana Historical Society)

This is the origin of the current location of West Glacier. 100% of the community is within 1/4 mile of the railroad. Thousands of tourists descend on this sleepy little railway town every year and we are very proud of our friendly mountain home and family heritage. The Belton train depot is still active and tourists can be shuttled from the station to Park locations on the historic "Red Buses" that have been completely restored. Maybe consider reserving a tour through Glacier Park with the Red Bus tours, it has high reviews.

Local must see hotspots would include Flathead Lake, Bigfork, Whitefish Mountain and the Great Bear and Bob Marshall Wilderness areas.

Amazing cabin!

We have stayed at dozens of VRBO’s around the globe but none as wonderful as this beautiful cabin in the woods. It is meticulously maintained and was the perfect size for our family of 5. It could not be more perfectly located so close to the entrance of West Glacier. The owners make you feel welcome from the moment you book their VRBO. Their attention stays throughout your visit.

Perfect Location

We rented this house to visit Glacier National Park. It is located right in the heart of everything on the West Entrance. You can get in and out of park very easily. There is a cute little village you can bike or drive to very quickly with restaurants, shops and activities. Most of your rental stuff is there as well including rafting and fishing. Also a beautiful golf course right down the road.

Excellent Glacier locale

It would be hard to find a more convenient location for visiting the west side of Glacier National Park and the various communities around West Glacier. Super easy access to the park, great property. The lack of a normal shower in the main floor bathroom is a bit different, but we knew that going in. Richard and Shelly are awesome hosts!

Wonderful Experience

The house was beautiful! Very well stocked. They thought of everything. Very clean. Gorgeous view. We were disappointed because on the listing it says on the water, on the lake, kayak and that is the reason I chose this property over some others we were looking at and it is not on the water. The property owners couldn’t have been nicer answering my endless questions and making sure we were comfortable. They had a thorough and helpful welcome packet and checked in with us. Overall, it was wonderful!

Wonderful family cabin

The cabin was located in an area that had the feel of being away from everything. However it was within walking distance of West Glacier Village. We enjoyed walking with the grandchildren to the village each evening. We saw deer at the cabin. We drove into Whitefish and Hungry Horse several times. We are planning on selecting this cabin again.

This property was perfect for our family of six - two adults and four kids ages 4-9. We loved the seclusion and privacy it offered but really appreciated how close it was to the gate to Glacier National Park! The property is really beautiful and we loved the views off the back porch. We have stayed at a lot of VRBOs/AirBnB’s and this property was probably the most well stocked of any we’ve stayed at. We cooked quite a few meals there and they had everything we needed. The cabin was extremely clean and comfortable and appliances were new and easy to use. Richard and Shelly were wonderful hosts!

Property

We recently had the opportunity to stay at Richard and Shelly’s. This was our first time staying in the cabin and plan to book again summer 2024. The location is superb, conveniently located to Glacier Park. We love the sense of privacy and seclusion the cabin offered. The convenience of having all the amenities within easy reach and the ability to retreat into the private hideaway was the perfect blend. The views from the cabin are nothing short of spectacular. We spent many relaxing evenings on the porch. It was the perfect setting for leisurely breakfasts and relaxing evenings. One of the things we appreciated most was the excellent communication from the host. They were prompt, clear, and super friendly, offering guidance and answering our questions swiftly and efficiently. We will look forward to staying again.

Location & Quality all in one!!

We really enjoyed our stay!! First, the cabin/ property was first-rate. Richard and Shelly had everything imaginable ready and waiting. Excellent kitchen, stove, fridge, washer /dryer, wi-fi, satelliteTV, bikes, fire pit, grill, maps, pointers, etc. This property has a “newer” and modern feel for sure; nothing seemed old or worn out. And the “bear” theme was awesome. Bears dispersed throughout the house in photos, woodwork, everywhere! As for location, it is just a few minutes from West Glacier park entrance. Gas stations, a smallish but helpful grocery store, gift shop etc. This made it easy for us to pick up forgotten items and get to the park multiple times over 3 days for drives, hikes, info etc. We also were able to drive the 1.5 to 2 hour distance to other park entrance points at Two Medicine and St Mary’s, and found the 30-45 minute drive to Whitefish and then Kalispell convenient for larger stores. Although all of GNP rentals seem pricey at first glance, sometimes you have to suck it up and go for quality. We were quite pleased with this first time visit and stay at a location sight unseen. Would love to come back someday with friends. Thank you Richard and Shelley!

The closest you can get to Glacier while still having your own space

What a great location! Just 2-3 minutes from the West Glacier main entrance but still feels like you’re deep in your own private woods. The property is great as it feels like you’ve truly gotten away from it all, which makes the outdoor spaces great to use. We spent a lot of time out on the deck and the fire pit enjoying the spectacular views and visits from the wildlife. We saw several deer, a multitude of different birds and we’re pretty sure we heard a moose that was keeping its distance. The only location related downside is something you’ll have to deal with anywhere in the town of West Glacier, and that is the train. Trains pass through West Glacier with regularity, even late at night or early in the morning. So if you’re particularly sensitive to hearing a train horn, you might not want to be in West Glacier at all. The main shared area inside the cabin is cozy. We had 3 couples, so it was maybe a bit tight, but still totally workable for more if needed. We played the game of counting all the bears in the place. Was a fun time. The kitchen is well laid out and reasonably well equipped. But there were a few things we could have used for the kitchen, which I’ve passed along to the host. Which brings me to my next point. The host was great. They left a few goodies for us upon arrival, made a comprehensive binder with information regarding the place, helpful locations for things like groceries, and nearby activities they recommend. The host was also responsive when I had questions, which happened a few times. They made it easier to spend our time there. While we loved our time here, there were a few things that people should make sure they’re aware of. The shared bathroom on the main floor does have a tub and a wand, but isn’t really a full shower. So the best shower option for all of us was in the basement, along with the laundry. To access the bathroom downstairs, you’re going through the living space and bed of whoever is staying down there, so that can require some coordination. Also, as they mentioned in the posting, the internet truest is less than stellar. If you’re fighting to get your permits for Glacier at 8 AM, you might want to find a more reliable option as it can be slow, and some cell carriers have zero service. Overall, this place was wonderful and an amazing location. We would love to stay here again if we do a similar trip in the future.

Making family memories

This cabin was absolutely a home away from home. There was everything you could possibly need provided along with things you wouldn’t even think of. Property was secluded giving the feel of peace and tranquility, yet less than 5 minutes to town. Everything was immaculate, down to the bbq pit. Decor also added to the cozy log cabin feel. Beds very comfortable. Spacious for spreading out or enjoying family time together inside or out. The welcome basket was such a thoughtful and heartfelt gift, full of local and practical items to enjoy. A deer walked up to us while making s’mores at the fire pit:). Truly so grateful to Richard & Shelly for providing the perfect place to spend our family vacation. Look forward to returning!

Awesome Location and Cabin!

The listed property is accurate. It's super close to GNP, every activity and dinner we did. We felt at home as soon as we walked in the door! We enjoyed the camp fire, bikes, walks and games provided. Didn't have the tv at all; which was amazing! Richard was very responsive to all the questions we had. This was our first time to GNP and Montana. It's so hard to plan a vacation like this when you have no idea what you're walking into, but choosing this cabin was one of the best decisions we made. In fact, our entire vacation was amazing! Beware the first part of the Going To The Sun Road is a disaster, a ton of potholes/craters up to Avalanche Lake. Pack you patience for that. Not sure when they will fix or pave that part of the road.

Perfect for Glacier/Montana Vacation

This home was perfectly located for our family; close to west entrance of Glacier and easy access to head to Whitefish, Kalispell, Columbia Falls, etc. Everything you need is there at cabin and in a wooded area with gorgeous view, outdoor deck and fire pit area. You felt like you were in your own remote setting, but minutes to everything.Set up was nice to put the teens on the lower level where they had their own living area and shower. Owner was exceptional in passing on information, tips and left a cell phone if we needed. Wonderful area to spend in Montana. We look forward to returning in future.
