Abbott Valley Homestead is an awesome blend of the old and the new and covers some 270 acres of meadows, forests along North and South Abbott creeds. Some of the cabins are the original homestead cabins dating back 100 years. Each has been remodeled inside with all the modern amenities, and yet these cabins are still the original authentic log structures, cut by hand from the surrounding meadows by Mickey and his team of draft horses.

Mickey was the anglo name for a Russian immigrant who came here by way of Ellis Island to fight forest fires in 1910. He stayed and took out a deed from President T.Roosevelt and settled Abbott Valley. Our Irish parents came here after WWII and bought the homestead, adding timber lands to the north which is where the other homes are located. These homes were shelter to the loggers, who cleared Hungry Horse Reservoir in the late 1940's and early 1950's. Our family is proud of our diverse background and the heritage we share. Some of our family lives on the property and together we help maintain and share in the abundance around us.

We still run the ranch, and have some cattle and horses in the meadows who graze along side the deer, elk, moose and other wildlife all around us. We decided some 15 years ago to remodel the various cabins and homes and share them with guests traveling through the area. Many return year after year, having "chosen" this place or that one as theirs, putting their roots down, if only for a week or two, so they can enjoy ' time' and each other in a beautiful, peaceful, and serene setting...being here is an opportunity to embrace simplicity and restore your soul.

Our location isan ideal 'base' if you are wanting to spend any amount of time in Glacier Park. We have many walking trails, meadows, woods, beaver ponds and creeks to enjoy right here. Abbott Valley is known for its rich diversity of fowl, wildlife and other fur bearing animals. The reparian areas are renowned for birding and photography.

There are homes and cabins on both the north and south ends of Abbott Valley. These places are private from one another and your individual space is well respected. They are also close enough that a combination of two, three, five or all of them works great for more than one family or group sharing their vacation together. There is a pavilion on the north end for larger groups, and ample deck space on the South end for gatherings. We encourage family renunions, weddings and other events. Several of the larger homes have 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, and then there are smaller cabins for two or more. Some of us live nearby and we serve as your ambassadors, making sure your stay is enjoyable and your questions are answered.

In order to protect our heritage and pass it on to subsequent generations, we put the property into a conservation easement in 2008. This will be one of the few places on the globe that will stay as it is, with no developments. We feel privileged to have this piece of paradise and want to preserve the beauty and legacy for others to enjoy as well. As one guest put it, "there's no crowd energy here...I just love it!" We invite you to stay at Abbott Valley and step into a world apart from the fast commercial pace...it is a 'high touch place for a high tech world.'

Several of our guests return frequently and have become our friends over the years. We offer a special reduction to those who have stayed with us before, or to those you might recommend. We appreciate your patronage and recognize that our success in what we do also depends on your desire to stay with us. Our guests continually tell us 'it's better than they ever expected'. We take that as a compliment and it is what Abbott Valley Homestead is all about...authenticity, friendliness and being real. It's our home as well. Thank you for choosing to stay with us.

  • Our property is surrounded by the Flathead National Forest and is at the entrance to the Bob Marshall Wilderness area. We have maintained trails on our property and a number of trails in the surrounding forest area for those who want to hike, run, bike and/or stroll in the early morning or evenings. Horse back riding is available on a reservation basis for larger groups. In the winter, rented snowmobiling is also available. The meadows and surrounding trails provide for extensive cross country skiing and snowshoeing as well. Elk and deer frequent these same meadows year around..close by is a large wetland area that is habitat for many diffrerent fur bearing animals as well as moose. Many different species of birds live in and around these wetlands, making it a haven for birders who come to the area. Abbott Valley has two major creeks (North and South Abbott) that crisscross its boundaries, with limited fishing in these streams and beaver ponds.
