About Sue and Greg Evans
We both worked at Many Glacier on the east side of Glacier National Park in the 70's. We met when Sue was working for the concession in the coffee shop and Greg was in maintenance and took coffee breaks. We returned the following summer and a married couple and became a ranger and Greg continued in maintenance. We spent 8 summers at Many Glacier hiking and climbing all over the park so we know it well. Our son Merritt was named after two of our favorite mountains in the park.
Sue and Greg Evans purchased this Lodge in 2004
Why Sue and Greg Evans chose Polebridge
Fast forward to 2004. We were interested in purchasing property near Glacier and decided on this location with it's beautiful views of Glacier and the rustic lodge feel of the cabin. We have since expanded the cabin into a lodge with added personal space and a three car garage. We made sure the expansion looked like it fit with the original structure rather than like an add-on.
What makes this Lodge unique
We loved how quiet it was and there are no other neighbor buildings visible. You can sit on the east side deck looking at the peaks of Glacier and hear the wings of the birds as they fly over.
