Location: Coram, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA (7 Miles South of West Glacier)

Accommodations:  Cabin, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)

Our log cabin is conveniently located near Coram Montana on a well maintained county road just 8 miles from West Glacier, the west entrance to Glacier National Park. It sits on 5 park-like acres overlooking a 27 acre pond/wetland that is home to many birds and animals. The setting is peaceful, teeming with wildlife and yet located near many wondrous and fun attractions. Click our website link below for maps and details about the area, including our favorite day trips.

Spring begins at the pond, with the emergence of the painted turtles. They have been hibernating and come out to sun themselves on the floating logs. Many birds visit and live at the pond. The most prevalent are grebes who build floating nests to hatch and raise their young. Ducks, loons and Canada geese are also residents. Blue herons are frequent summer visitors. Our last fall visitors before freeze-up were a family of 6 white swans. While the pond is a wonderful place for wildlife, it is not a place to swim or fish. The pond has an abundance of lily pads and fish as food for birds (too small for people). Enjoy our pond by watching the wildlife.

We have enjoyed many hours restoring this 1970's structure and now hope you will enjoy our resulting efforts. The furnishings are an eclectic mixture on new and old, comfortable and interesting, with handmade quilts on each beds. When you are tired of hiking or skiing you will find puzzles, a read-it-or-trade-it library and over 100 movies to entertain yourself. If cooking is your "thing" the kitchen is fully equipped. Our favorite cabin spot for reading or dining is the porch. With patience and quiet the deer or elk they may come to visit; they are always around but are shy. Click our website link below for many interior photos and a floor plan.

Winters are amazing and the road is plowed to the cabin. We often cross country ski around the pond or in the forest nearby. The road in Glacier Park is plowed to Lake McDonald Lodge and you can ski or snowshoe from there up the road past the Dancing Cascades. There are also private groomed trails near West Glacier. Downhill enthusiasts can make the 30 minute drive to Whitefish Resort (formerly Big Mountain), a nationally known destination ski area.

  • With the crowds in Glacier Nat'l Park, it was a real joy to be able to go home to such a wonderful place. It made the trip. We would come back after a busy day, & have a great meal in a quiet and beautiful setting. Or we could just relax on that marvelous deck and watch the many critters. The bed was the best I have ever slept in, all of the amenities are first class, and everyone had their own space. The only down side is that it isn't located closer to Eugene! I would highly recommend this as the home base for any trip to Glacier Nat'l Park. Thanks for sharing your wonderful cabin!

  • Everything about the Stenger's cabin was perfect. Close to Glacier National Park, yet private and relaxing. It's a place to enjoy on its own. We plan on returning.

  • Our stay at Glacier Retreat in July was truly outstanding! The anticipated "cabin" experience turned into thorough enjoyment of every aspect of Stenger's beautiful home. We were pleasantly surprised with more than ample space (especially loved the loft), very nice furnishings, and lots of things for our nine and twelve year old grandsons to do. One of our favorite activities was to sit on the porch and watch the wildlife...particularly the hummingbirds. A real plus was the convenient location to Glacier National Park. We all enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it!

  • We have rented from VRBO for many vacations and this cabin was the most well-stocked location ever. The closeness to Glacier provided easy access while providing a quiet and beautifully decorated retreat. A wonderful place for families.

  • Stayed at the Stenger Cabin for a week in early July. This is a great place to see the Park and just relax. Only 20 minutes from the airport (FCA) and 8 miles to the entrance of Glacier NP. The cabin is private, quiet and very comfortable. This is a highly recommended vacation getaway - scenery, quiet, comfort. We will return.

  • Larry and I thoroughly enjoyed our accommodations at the Stenger cabin. The ammenities were exceptional. The cabin location was peaceful and serene. It was fun looking for wildlife as well. It was a great place to relax after our strenous hikes at Glacier National Park. I would love to come back and bring our extended family, ie our kids with their families.

  • It is not an easy task to try pick out the perfect accomodations for one's vacation, especially if you haven't been to that particular area before. But this cabin is about as perfect a choice as one can make. 7 miles to the entrance of the park, out of town, very clean and well stocked for making your own meals, reasonably priced. I was also impressed that the owners contacted us the day of arrival to their cabin, checking to make sure everything was OK. Anyone looking for the best place to stay in Glacier Park, this should be your choice. P.S. The air hockey table in the basement is a great bonus. We had some serious games with lots of laughter (and sore fingers).

  • To Kathy and John My wife and I heartily agree your cabin exceeded its billing in VRBO, though it did not exceed your graciousness in dealing with us - and in booking us - on such short notice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in what also turns out to be your vacation getaway. Its totality of accomodations and features, combined with the wonderful semi-remoteness in a forest setting, was everything we desired and needed to forget the asphalt, steel and humanity of "home" here in SoCal. If and when we visit the Glacier Park area again you will definitely be hearing from us. May your winter be one filled with peace, happiness and effortless miles of cross country skiing. Thank you! Ron and Denise Romanosky Tustin, Ca.

  • loved the cabin. my wife and i stayed over the labor day weekend 2008. great location. close to glacier for hiking or site seeing, shopping in kalispel, or enjoying the quiet of the cabin and spending a day relaxing. we've stayed at lots of places and this is one of the best values when considering location, quiet, and price. we will definitely be back. thanks for opening your place.
