NOW TAKING RESERVATIONS FOR 2012 - COME VISIT GLACIER NATIONAL PARK NOW THAT THE CENTENNIAL CROWDS HAVE SUBSIDED!
This property is the warm, National Park style, private lodge with unique views of Glacier's jagged peaks. Even visiting locals are surprised by the superior views from this spectacular estate called Cannonview, named after Cannon Mountain seen from the living room window. Constructed in 2002, your vacation destination is an architect-designed log lodge, custom-constructed of hand-peeled douglas fir trees from British Columbia.
Perched on 20 acres of wilderness bordering thousands of acres of US Forest Service, this warm, casual setting offers endless enjoyment of rustic northwest Montana. Perfect for a corporate board retreat, a multiple-family gathering, or even an intimate weekend, Cannonview is located 20 minutes from Glacier National Park, 60 minutes from Canada, 45 minutes from Kalispell, 60 minutes from Bigfork and Flathead Lake. You can decide how much privacy you want during your vacation here.
Relax outdoors in the oak rocking chairs on the extensive porch or indoors on the fine leather furniture in the living room. Regardless of group size, enjoy meals in the generous open kitchen/dining area connected to the great room. Treat Cannonview as your outpost for day hikes or cross-country skiing on site or for hiking/touring expeditions into the finest National Park just minutes away. For outdoor enthusiasts or those seeking a private getaway, we are confident you will be more than satisfied with your lodging choice and welcome your questions before making reservations. The Owners are hard-working professionals with masters' degrees and are parents of two wonderful boys. Their conscientious diligence translates to insuring that your expectations will be met during your stay at Cannonview Lodge.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
We are the Smith Family and are the proud owners of Cannonview Lodge near Glacier National Park, Montana. Stephen and Jodi Smith met each other while working at Swiftcurrent Motor Inn in Glacier National Park and it was their longtime dream to design and contruct Cannonview Lodge as close to the Park as possible. We know your stay here will be enjoyable whether you are a first time visitor of a returning regular.
Why the Owner Chose West Glacier
Glacier, Glacier, Glacier! Cannonview Lodge was inspired by the historic lodges found in Glacier National Park. Approximately 3 miles from the Park boundary, the property shares the ecosystem of Glacier National Park and often wildlife may be viewed from or near the property.
The Unique Benefits of this Lodge
Unique views of Glacier National Park, arguably the best in the area! Ever heard of the Highline Trail that is carved into the Continental Divide? You can see this and dozens of Glacier Park peaks from the living room of Cannonview Lodge.

Your house is so lovely and perfect for our stay. We have enjoyed your hospitality - the warm and smiling touches that you prepared - the huckleberry jam, the children's toys, a piano and guitar - and your trusting spirit. Your house is truly a family home which welcomes.

The setting and the structure of this lodge are amazing!! We drove for a long time to get there but were thrilled with what we found. The view is spectacular, too! The owners were very accomodating in making us feel welcome with milk, wine, cereal and other items to get us started. Our grandchildren(twin girls)loved the swing set, trampoline and the bounty of toys in the cabin. Our son-in-law plays guitar and was happy to have one to strum while sitting in the comfy rockers overlooking the mountains of Glacier. They all enjoyed the basketball court, too! We had everything we needed to have a fun ,family time there. The only thing that surprised us was how lived-in the cabin was. The owners have clothes packed in every closet and hanging around and the decorating-bedding-furnishings are very worn and outdated. Other than that we would give this VRBO a very positive rating! It is a spectacular log lodge!
Owner response:We appreciate the very positive review as well as the comment about the closets. We have since relocated all clothing in closets to the lower level which is not used by guests. We do look forward to replacing certain furniture pieces as business increases. This is the type of feedback that helps us improve our services to guests!
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Many thanks for so much warmth and hearth. Our family saw bears, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, gorgeous flowers, and icebergs! Never seen so much in a short time! [Owner note: the animals cited here were viewed inside Glacier National Park.]
