Scenic House Located At The Doorstep to West Glacier National Park Entrance
Turnkey vacation! If you've ever wanted to explore Glacier National Park (GNP) our vacation rental is for you! An exquisite location & a remarkable property. Whether by car, train or plane, traveling can be fatiguing, stressful & downright complicated. One of the last details of concern you should fret about is how close the park is. Relax. Situated at the doorstep of the west entrance of GNP, you can rest easy knowing you won't have to make a daily trek to access the park. Within walking distance to West Glacier Village & just above the iconic Belton Chalet, you will find this location extraordinarily convenient. Nestled in a pine forest, on a ridge overlooking the west entrance, you will find privacy, seclusion & serenity. Upon your arrival kick off your shoes for a respite or lace up your hiking boots for an adventure in the park. Either way just knowing your a step away from restaurants, a general store, ice cream parlor, putt-putt golf, bar, souvenir shop, Glacier Raft Co., Lake McDonald & Apgar Village provides a pleasant level of accommodation & enjoyment. You will find our home for 4 guests is spacious, private, charming & full of all the amenities we could think of, including but not limited to, comfortable beds with linens, dishes, kitchenware, utensils, kitchen & bath towels, washer & dryer, A/C, gas fireplace, gas grill, open floor plan with large picture windows, campfire pit & a deck accessible off the great room/kitchen & too many other items to list. Pack your hiking boots, expedition gear, backpack, day pack, fly rods, camera, shades, sunscreen, hat, different layers of clothing, hydration bottles, maps & itinerary. We'll furnish the bear spray! Cozy, close & convenient. Can you hear that? Sounds like the perfect vacation is calling you.
Powder Days!
In Montana, frosty temps and falling snow usher in an action-packed season of wintery fun and adventure. You can ski or snowboard at one of the areas 2 ski resorts. Not a downhill skier? No problem! With snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dog sledding, cross-country skiing, ice fishing and more, there's something for everyone who wants to play in the snow. The snow can arrive as early as October and can linger through May. Montana offers one of the longest winter season in the lower 48 states to skate, schuss, glide and soar.
Glacier Ridge Resort provides snow shoes and poles in various sizes for adults and children. We also have maps, books and trail suggestions available for our guests.
Travelers should bring sturdy winter boots and dress in layers for a variety of winter conditions.
Traveling by train? Please note: West Glacier Train station is located at the bottom of the mountain from the property. This working railroad line runs parallel to Highway 2 in West Glacier. A slight rumbling can be felt in the house when a train passes by. The trains do not blow a horn when they pass through the area since West Glacier does not have an intersecting road with the trains. The history of Glacier is based on these rail lines and is an interictal part of the location.
Ring Security camera with motion lights is located on the porch next to the front door.
Timed entry vehicle reservations are required for entrance at some GNP Entrances.

In 2017 we added River View Retreat riverfront property in Columbia Falls, MT (#959175) for customers who want to accommodate up to 8 guests.
