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.
