This was a really great stay and it’s very convenient to accessing the park. You are able to take back roads to avoid the longer lines at Glacier while then having a nice view to end your day at the property with the lake. The hosts were very friendly and gave us some tips when we were in the area for how to get around and where to go for groceries and supplies that wasn’t too far from the cabin

It's rare for a rental to be better than expected. Jo and Ed's place was! They were very welcoming, attentive, and knowledgable hosts. The place was clean, comfortable and cozy, with a kitchen having everything we needed to cook each night. Spoon Lake was a beautiful viewing and canoeing experience. The proximity to Glacier Nat Park was perfect as well as the hot tub at the end of long hiking days. We were able to truly relax!

There really aren’t enough words to express how wonderful this stay is. It’s one of those places you catch yourself saying “I could LIVE here!” Not just the scenery but the unit itself is truly equipped with everything you need. They even have good sharp knives! lol The hosts were beyond amazing and the Huckleberry muffins upon arrival were such a warm and welcoming and delicious touch! Taking the canoe out on the lake was such a peaceful, enjoyable experience. We found the location to be excellent. We were able to get everywhere we wanted to go, including West Glacier NP, Polebridge, Whitefish, Bigfork, Kalispell, and Columbia falls with ease. The longest trek was to Many Glacier at 2.5 hours but it was WELL worth going to the east side as that day we saw 3 bears and a bunch of Mountain sheep. Everything the hosts recommended was spot on. The hot tub was a great end of day treat after hiking. Having access to laundry and a designated parking spot is great also! Truly, if I could give 100 stars I would! WORTH EVERY CENT.

We were blown away with this property and the hospitality that the hosts showed us. The cabin was spotless and had all the amenities needed. The views of Spoon Lake everyday were breathtaking!!! Highlights for us included: views of the lake everyday, canoeing in the lake, steam shower, fully loaded kitchen, Jo's huckleberry muffins, and having a full washer/dryer available. We have stayed in quite a few properties before and this is by far the best so far. Highly recommend!!!

The hosts were so sweet and even made us homemade huckleberry muffins, which were divine! We’ll be staying there again!! Hopefully sooner than later!

The cabin and our stay was even more relaxing and peaceful than anticipated! The property is very convenient to Glacier National Park and also in a quiet low traffic area. The cabin has every convenience possibly needed plus many extras. Some of our favorites were the birds, flowers, hot tub, steam shower, kayaks, and the view! Thank you Ed and Jo for the pleasure of sharing your property!

This property was more beautiful than the pictures express. The hosts were great communicators and very accommodating. The lake view from the living area and bed room is picturesque. We had some great luck with fishing, as the water was clear and shallow, so canoeing, paddle boarding or hanging out on the dock is ideal. The hot tub was clean and chlorinated properly. There are so many things to do at the home in the case of bad weather preventing hiking the park or to have a relaxing day. Will definitely stay here again in the future!

Beautiful and tranquil, decorated so cute in cabin theme! Jo greeted us when we arrived, and showed us all we needed to know about the apartment under their home. The hot tub was hot and ready to go so we were able to enjoy a soak that evening overlooking beautiful spoon lake. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you need to cook a nice meal. There’s a little grill on the patio, but we didn’t get a chance to use that.It’s about 30 minutes to Columbia Falls and then another 30 minutes to West glacier. Overall, we had a wonderful trip.
