Entire Rustic House Close to Glacier Park Vacation

Essex town is located between East and West Glacier. It is a good location for exploring both sides of the parkThe house is close to main road and train tracks, the trains don't blow the horn because there is no crossing but you can hear them. IF YOU ARE A LIGHT SLEEPER PLEASE DON'T BOOK. The Great Bear Wilderness is right the back side of the house. Stanton lake hike (in the wilderness)is one of my favorites. The trailhead is 5 minute drive from the house. Stanton creek is a nice spot for picnics too.
Our house has all the amenities completely furnished with linens, towels and dishes. There is a TV and a DVD player with a selection of DVD'S. There is no satellite TV. There are some games and puzzles and a pool table. There are some hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trail maps available and some activities you can do inside and around the park.
The house features exterior security cameras. The cameras don't look into interior spaces. The cameras record video when activated by motion.
Walton Ranger station which is an entrance for day hikes and back country trips is 7 minute drive from the house.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances, coffee maker, microwave, dishes and cookware and some seasonings.
The bedroom has a queen bed.
The bathroom is fully equipped too, We stock the starting supplies of toilet paper, soap, shampoo, trash liners.
It used to be a bar in late 1950s.
Enjoy your stay and also go and explore the park and outdoor activities as river rafting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, boating.
There are also Red Bus Tours available in the park.

Very nice setup and pert near in the middle of both east and west glacier park entrances. We were off season so not much open around, but likely much more lively rest of year.

We arrived to this cute little rustic cabin and instantly knew we were going to like it. After staying for 5 days we loved it. We loved the trains too. It is in a great location for the park and to local towns. We can't wait to visit again!

Be careful, you might not leave

We were there in the middle of winter. I love a wood stove and it was very nice. We had a lot of plans but after about 2 days we just would go get food and sit by the fire. It was fantastic and probably the most chill vaca I've been on. I loved the trains passing all day, it was so cool.

Lovely Cabin Close to Glacier NP

The cabin is clean and attractive. In less than 30 minutes we were at the west side entrance to Glacier NP. The property manager has a large notebook to help you explore the park and many other trails and places to check out. We enjoyed our week.

Rustic cabin

Beautiful property and cabin. Centralized location to both entrances of Glacier. Train runs super close all evening and throughout the night. Highway traffic noise can also be a bit loud. Fans were provided, so we were able to drown out the noise for the most part. Overall very spacious and clean with a great vibe!

Great Location for Glacier

Cabin was better than the description. Yes, the traffic can be loud during the day, but very quiet at night. Some trains over night, but we actually enjoyed that. Very well appointed and thought out.

Just right …nestled near glacier

Cabin between east and west glacier Everything you expect about cabin life with nice shower and laundry. Well stocked , fans, gas grill, full size kitchen, amenities & earplugs provided! Open windows & let fresh air in Traffic is fast on road during day…trains are loud but fun to watch…seems to stop running during night …hence earplugs It was highly enjoyable for us grilling and eating in cool air outside Quiet and lots deer at night & early morning At night fans and earplugs and fall asleep after long day at glacier Buy groceries ahead of time on drive up Paper plates help with microwave and clean up Highly recommend

Great Location for Visiting Glacier

We had a fantastic stay at this cabin! There was plenty of room for the two of us and it had everything we needed for the week. We basically did a lot of day hiking in the Natl Park so we would get up early and get home late, but it was so nice to come home to a hot shower, cook a hot meal in the full kitchen and prepare for the next days hike. Then we would watch a movie and then zonk out in the comfortable bed. The train and highway noise were not really a problem. Sure you could hear it but it wasn’t disturbing. Wi-Fi at the cabin worked great, I think it was Starlink. The cabin was nicely appointed with everything we needed and the host was thoughtful and generous and communicated with us to make sure we were happy and comfortable.
