As beautiful an Alpine structure as this log cabin home is, and as elegantly appointed from the light fixtures to the high-end appliances, one issue subsumed the sum total of every wonderful feature of this house in the woods: the very limited and erratic supply of hot water. Even after the circuit controlling it would be reset, only several gallons (fewer than 5) would flow before it resorted to coldness again. With a party of six it made it nearly impossible to adequately groom and, as a result, loomed over our visit and to some degree characterized our stay. We developed elaborate timing routines to get clean including having grandma boil pots of water to dump into the Jacuzzi tub for the kids’ baths. On our day of departure, needing to drive many hours to the Jackson Hole airport for an early flight the following day, never had we more looked forward to a one-night stay at an ordinary motel. Pale by comparison, there are other shortcomings afflicting this facility: • Having no enclosed showering fixture (by glass or curtain), but only two bathtubs, the hot water issue is exacerbated. A very quick shower could conceivably use less than 5 gallons of hot water. A bathtub to be filled cannot. Even if hot water were not the 800-pound gorilla of a problem here, Americans, by and large, take showers. • Air temperature control appears to have been an afterthought. Of the 19 glorious windows in the main room and loft, only 4 can open (the rest are casement type). Of those 4, two have been co-opted for window-unit air conditioners. This made achieving cross-currents difficult so despite August night temperatures dropping into the 40’s we had to run the air conditioners to keep the place cool enough with circulating air. • The first floor bathroom door does not fit squarely into its doorway. As such, the door thumb does not latch and in turn, the door can’t lock. • The loft bathroom’s design/location is such that a grown man cannot stand upright while urinating into the toilet because of the angle of the roof line. He must lean his head (and if tall, his upper body) rightward. • The loft bedroom closet is not usable for guests. The owner’s clothing occupies all the hangars. • The high-end appliances are not limited to the large ones. The kitchen has two coffee makers including the fanciest cappuccino maker I’ve ever seen in a home. But there is no toaster. Despite out pleas, no refund, event partial, was offered by the owner of this property.
Owner response:This extremely rude and incorrect review is being submitted 2 years after the stay. This party attempted to extort me two years ago by stating that they would post this negative review unless I gave them thier money back. This was after they ticked off all of the neighbors by trespassing on their land, broke into the owners private area and helped themselves. The cabin is fully equipped, the party was, well what can I say, from New Jersey. We have never had a negative post over this property and for the past 2 summers have enjoyed lovely people.

Our family of 5 (3 children in college) stayed for a week in May at this home and had a wonderful vacation. We really enjoyed the very close location to Glacier National Park. Though the "Going to the Sun Road" was not open during our stay, we were able to see so much in the off season because there were no crowds, I would absolutely recommend seeing this amazing park in the off season, though I am sure summer is great, too! Most days we saw very few other people (but plenty of wildlife) in the park; we had picnic areas entirely to ourselves. We rented a raft from a nearby outfitter, and enjoyed being on Lake MacDonald. There is a nearby golf course with wonderful views that we also enjoyed. We enjoyed the property, it was very comfortable. The enclosed porch gave us more room to "spread out", but we also really enjoyed this time together as a family. We will miss the amazing views in the park, as well as the sounds of the trains; Deanna, thank you very much for your hospitality! Mary
