About this property

Glacier Mirador - A New Forest Fortress overlooking the Glacier National Park

Imagine a treehouse situated above the forest canopy, well, the Mirador is a luxury tree house.The home is completely surrounded by Aspen forest with birds, wildlife and privacy.

Nestled in Babb, this delightful two story house offers a serene, tranquill and panoramic retreat for guests. At 4807', the Mirador is has the highest elevation of any rental available that overlooks the St Mary Valley. The view of the Rockies from the upper deck and the 360 degree view of the forest canopy cannot be accurately captured by the pictures.

In English, the Spanish word "Mirador" translates to viewpoint or vantage point, referring to a place or architectural feature that offers an extensive view of the surrounding area. This name was chosen as it reflects its unique vantage point of the Eastern Rockies as viewed from the West side of St Mary Ridge.

With 3 cozy bedrooms including 2 queen beds, 1 full size futon, and 1 twin air mattress (for living area upon request). This fantastic property is perfect for families or friends looking to unwind. Enjoy the comfort of 1.5 bathrooms equipped with all amenities.

The home has 3 sleeping areas, 2 Queen bedrooms with TVs. The living area has a full size futon bed. As well we can provide an extra twin size air matress (upon request). The home has a small wall mounted AC unit in the upstairs bedroom only. Typically, the house can be cooled down in the evening naturally from the high mountain elevation and window ventilation.

The home interior is entirely crafted with wood giving it a peaceful rustic feeling. The large kitchen and laundry use the most modern LG appliances and most all cooking amenities than you would have at home.

I enjoy cooking at home with friends and family rather than going out to the few crowded and expensive restaurants in the St Mary Valley. I am not saying the local restaurants are bad, I am saying once your arrive, you will not want to leave.

The upstairs is the second highlight of the home. The living area has the newest Stern Pinball machine, King Kong, to reignite family rivalries as well provide a game experience most people have never had. If the thrill of Pinball in not your thing, then we have a 65" TV with Sound bar will hopefully ease your pain after conquering Iceberg Lake, Grinnell Glacier or the Highline trail.
.
Another highlight of the home is the 16" dia flagstone fire pit to view the Milky Way or occasional Aurora Borealis. The sky here is unlike any place you have been. Glacier National Park is a designated International Dark Sky Park, a certification awarded l in recognition of its commitment to preserving darkness.

I could go on, but I will say that this home has no equal on the East side of Glacier Park. I hope you are fortunate to be guests of the first season of this spectacular property.

The Mirador is located 1mi off Highway 464 in Babb, Montana. The home is 15min drive to Both St Mary and Many Glacier park entrances. The home is 45min to Waterton and Two Medicine.

The only inconvience with the property is that you need to open/close 3 swing gates on the way in due to neighbours roaming horses.

This is a very nice property that’s super close to the east entrance of Glacier. The beds were comfy and we enjoyed the full kitchen and grill. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Glacier Matador. Jon, Jenn and Nathan were all very helpful and accommodating to our group. We loved the big, open kitchen, and the kids had fun with the pinball machine and games in the loft. While we only stayed one night, it was a great place to recharge after long park day adventures.

We had a lovely time at Glacier Mirador! Jon was a great host and the property/views were just beautiful! A serene, peaceful place to stay right outside of Glacier National Park. It is a short drive to St Mary’s entrance and Many Glacier. Highly recommend!

Beautiful views. Remote and quiet yet convenient for all entrances on the East side of the park, where we wanted to be. House is well stocked with kitchen stuff. Provided bear spray was well appreciated! 3 newly installed horse gates on the property add some extra time in and out, but the horses are beautiful and it's a fun challenge to get your car in and out while making sure the horses stay inside their intended gate. Jon responded to all needs and inquiries quickly.

Mr Jon was a great host! He made himself available for any needs we had. The property was super clean and up to date! Very cute and cozy cabin! We cooked breakfast there every morning band had all of the cooking utensils we needed in the very well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the incredible mountain views each morning and evening from the balcony. It’s the located in the perfect spot to easily get to the park without tons of travel time. We sat by the fire pit almost every evening to relax after long days of sightseeing and hiking.

Nice new cabin in a remote location. We really enjoyed being out in the wilderness without the crowds. We used the fire pit one night and a deer came to visit. We were able to see the Milky Way at night, it’s very unique to be in a dark sky zone. The negative side of staying in a remote location on the east side of the park is the lack of nearby restaurants and shopping. Recommend grocery shopping on your way in to make sure you have all necessary provisions.

I am an outdoor enthusiast whom fell in love in both Glacier and Waterton National Parks when I was a child. I jumped at the chance to purchase this unique property when it came available from a grand child of Jack Wagner, a historic pioneer of this area.

Why they chose this property

I enjoy nature, the tranquility of the mountains and outdoor adventure. East Glacier has it all.
