About this property

Mtn view - spacious landscaped yard. Privacy fence with BBQ area.

A true VRBO, whole house/yard rental for your private enjoyment located just minutes from the Two Medicine Valley - one of the gems of the park with no access reservation necessary, plenty of hiking, spectacular views and boat tours operated by Glacier National Park. After a long couple of years, we - the owners- are taking back total control of the management and guest services. We assure you that the house, its location and its amenities will provide you with a comfortable, enjoyable and unforgettable visit to our amazing corner of the world. We help with information and support for purchasing vehicle reservations to Going to the Sun road and Many Glacier.

At this comfortable and welcoming vacation home, you will wake to the alpine glow of a continental divide sunrise after a solid night's sleep in comfortable beds. Notice the crispness of the mountain air as you head out on your Glacier Park adventure just minutes away. If you are not into making breakfast, or you are just too excited for the day, stop at the local bakery just a block up the street or enjoy a "local's" breakfast at Two Medicine diner a block further up the street. Head out to explore the majestic beauty and wild nature of the east side of the park while keeping your eye out for bear and moose and other wildlife on your short trip to Two Medicine Valley, St. Mary or Many Glacier.

Upon your arrival home, notice the cool air provided by the AC unit and get ready for an afternoon/evening enjoying the lawn, picnic table, grill and evening sunset behind the stunning mountains known as Summit Mtn, CalfLooking, Dancing Lady and Mt Henry. Use the well-stocked kitchen for a home cooked dinner or wander up the street to explore the various local restaurants including The Peak, Serrano's Mexican Restaurant, Stageline Pizza or take a nice stroll past the historic lodge to the Whistle Stop - a BBQ joint on the other side of town. East Glacier is a small enough town that walking is a preferred mode of transportation for most.

This house is conveniently located on the east side of Glacier National Park where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains. Along with spectacular views, we benefit from fewer people, more wildlife, easy, quick access to Glacier Park entry sites along with trails on the border of the park and millions of acres of wilderness in the Great Bear wilderness and the Flathead National Forest. The contrast of the Great Plains to the Rocky Mountains makes East Glacier the most spectacular of places to stay while visiting the entirety of Glacier Park.

If you are not able to get a road pass for a specific date, one can enjoy days on trails in many locations accessed outside the gate and still easily visit Going to the Sun Road or Many Glacier after the 3:00 pm reservation time, especially while sunsets occur after 9:30 pm.

The house is perfectly located near the small grocery store, bakery and various restaurants. With a wraparound yard, bar-b-que and picnic table, a secluded and shaded aspen grove and view of the Rocky Mountain Front, this home will be a perfect base for you while visiting our little corner of the world.

We cleaned with bleach based cleansers for each reset of this remodeled home, one of the very few houses in East Glacier with air conditioning. Located in East Glacier Park just 10 miles from Two Medicine Valley, this house with a view of the mountains has manicured grounds with flower gardens and large lawn. Bordered by privacy fencing, it is beautiful, spacious, private and the perfect location for visiting all of Glacier National Park - just 30 minutes from St. Mary, 45 minutes from Many Glacier and less than an hour from West Glacier.

This house has been transformed inside and out over the last 5 years with interior remodeling, new furniture and landscape upgrades in response to our guest experience. The living room boasts a panoramic Mountain View window for lots of natural light. There is plenty of seating, strong WIFI, Air Conditioning and a 56 inch swivel mounted smart television for stream viewing in living room or kitchen. We also offer a few puzzles, cards and games for entertainment in the home.

The bathroom is freshly remodeled to include a full shower/tub and on-demand (endless) hot water for everyone to enjoy after a long day on the trails. A WASHER/DRYER is also available to help you keep up on vacation laundry.

The master bedroom has a queen size bed as well as its own television. The second bedroom provides a queen bed and a twin bunk for family and friends. The kitchen is fully stocked with the utensils needed to create fantastic meals while the bar-b-que can be used for continued outdoor enjoyment of the Rocky Mountain Front. Else, enjoy a nice walk to a local eatery including Serannos Mexican Restaurant and The Peak both a mere block up the street.
Within walking distance you will also find the local bakery, Two Medicine diner, the small grocery store, the historical Glacier Park Lodge and many other attractions. Our nearest Glacier Park entrance - Two Medicine - is a mere 15 minutes away, while trailheads on park border are also accessible and require no pre-planning.

Fly into either Kalispell or Great Falls for easy arrival in spectacular East Glacier Park. With the new road reservation system, we are happy to provide a location with easy access to plenty of hiking in Glacier National Park and out. Visit the trails near Essex, or the millions of acres of wilderness in the Great Bear and Scapegoat wild lands south of Glacier National Park including the famous Bob Marshall Wilderness. All of these places can be enjoyed on the days before or after specified reservation in the park and for those who do not have a park reservation.

Our local access -Two Medicine- offers my favorite views and hikes in all of the park. The Cut Bank area gives access to Medicine Grizzly Lake among other amazing hikes. Along the eastern, southern and northeastern borders of the park, there are many hikes which rival those in any area and will not require a premade reservation under the new system. I offer direct communication with you to help you with your trip planning and offer a variety of information to access area activities.

Happy to help with any questions about the area as I have lived here for 2 decades. Let me know what you want on your vacation and I will lead you in the right direction with local knowledge and experience increasing your chances of seeing moose, bears, goats and perhaps fewer humans.

Your Glacier Get Away awaits you.

Disappointing
I was really disappointed when I pulled up and saw that the yard had clearly not been attended to for some time. The grass was very long. The listing boasts a yard but when the grass isn’t even cut it doesn’t make it very inviting to use. It was very surprising to me that something so simple to make the place look better was not done. The house is very dated!! I can deal with that providing it is clean and it was for the most part other than it could have used a good dusting. The location was good with restaurants in walking distance but the neighborhood is sketchy to say the least. On a positive the hostess was prompt and helpful in replying to questions.

Great time in Glacier National Park
Property was as advertised and a great place to relax after long days in GNP. Working internet and cable television is a real plus in a more rural area like East Glacier. We would stay again without question.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Gates

Host profile image
My name is Wendy, my husband goes by Smiles. One of the first entrepreneurs to start VRBO in the area, we have been doing it for 20 years. I started this adventure with my first house, sleeping in my garage (using the campground down the street for showers, etc.), while renting to travelers during the summer and moving back into the house during the school year.
This is our second house in the town of East Glacier, which we purchased having sold everything, including my teacher retirement to walk away with just $2,000 in the bank and a second rental to house teachers during the school year and travelers during the summers.

My story in Glacier National Park starts with my mother and her parents' love of the outdoors, trips to Glacier, the Cabinet mountains and family trips fly fishing on all rivers in northern Montana and Idaho. Then, in 1990 when I visited my brother working in Many Glacier I might have known I would do the same 6 years later, during the summer of my freshman year in college - 1996. In 2004, I applied for a teaching position in Browning, Mt., home of the Blackfeet Tribe, border of Glacier National Park.
I was a full time classroom teacher for nearly two decades teaching in such places as India and Mexico as well as spending 5 years of that experience teaching in the local town of Browning. Raised in northern Idaho, I love this area and the activities available here. More recently I have worked as a ski instructor for kids at the Whitefish Mountain Resort on the other side of Glacier Park in the town of Whitefish, Montana. I have spent enough time in the area to answer most of the questions you might have and am truly happy to do so. Sharing such a special place is my chance to change lives helping people reconnect to the majesty of such lands and refresh the spirit.

Why they chose this property

We love the extra space of a large yard and the sound structure of the well-built house. In a nice neighborhood, with great neighbors, small town vibe and easy walking distance to most restaurants, etc., and the fresh clean air make this house simply cozy. Glad to call this place ours and to be able to share it with others who embrace the opportunity to visit Glacier National Park!

What makes this property unique

This well equipped house offers Air Conditioning, WIFI and private yard. The On-demand hot water system means there is no running out of hot water.
It sits on a double lot with privacy fencing manicured gardens, a small aspen grove in one corner, a great view of Dancing Lady Mountain and plenty of running space for children. The BBQ and PICNIC TABLE are a pleasure in the afternoon and setting sun of the evening, and, it is only TWO BLOCKS FROM MANY RESTAURANTS. The feeling one gets from the open space in the yard and the majestic mountains not far away is unmatched.
