We spent five nights here in September 2026 and absolutely loved it. The bed was comfortable, and the blankets were warm and cozy. The internet was great, The bathrooms and showers are a short walk from the tent, and they were clean, with plenty of hot water.The location is ideal: just 15 minutes from the West entrance of Glacier National Park, with Columbia Falls, Whitefish, and Kalispell close by, all offering plenty of great restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.One suggestion: the only thing we missed was a campfire near our tent. There are two fire sites by the pond and cabin area, but it would be wonderful to have one in the tent area too.Highly recommend this site and hope to visit again sometime soon!

Our glamping tent was great! The king bed was very comfortable! The was a nice dresser, water and coffee maker. My wife loved the rabbit comfoter! It was a short walk to the common building for bathroom, showers and full kitchen. It was quiet at night with deer and turkeys walking by the tent in the morning. It was a short drive into town for food and shopping and to the National Park west entrance. We highly recommend staying here for your glamping experience!

We had a wonderful stay! We were looking for a different place to stay other than a hotel and this place was perfect. The tent was beautiful and clean. The bed was really comfy with lots of blankets to keep warm. We loved sitting on the front little porch at night and in the morning. The bathrooms were just a short walk from the tent and very clean. There was showers with shampoo and stuff to use as well as lots of clean towels. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend!

Beautiful view. The trailblazer tent had the best view of the three tents. The tent was exactly as described. There really weren't any bugs or anything in the tent which surprised us. The tent flaps could be held open so you could see the mountain while laying in bed. There was a screen. We watched squirrels race across the fence in front of the tent. The only downfall is the outlet is away from the bed so if you have anything that needs to be plugged in near the bed like a CPAP machine it would be best to bring your own 6' extension cord. I messaged asking if they had one but an hour later we hadn't heard back so we figured out a workaround. This was at supper time so not late. This is why we gave 4 stars for communication. Past hosts have responded much more quickly. Overall, it was a great stay.

“Glamping at its finest”

Perfect affordable way to explore Glacier. The weather could have been better, but the accommodations were wonderful. The owners were friendly and helpful. I hope we can go back when we have nice weather.

Perfect GNP Base Camp

My girlfriend and I had a lovely stay here. Tent was clean, cozy, and had what's probably the best front porch view I've ever had! Jenna was fantastic with getting back to me quickly whenever I had questions and her father in law John was great as well with making sure we had everything we needed for a chilly weekend. Will definitely be returning here if I ever stay on the west side of Glacier again and will reccomend it to anyone I know who comes here!

The view from the front porch is gorgeous, and being so close to Glacier National Park is super convenient. The bed in the tent is really comfy and plush—way better than I expected! The showers have great water pressure, and it was nice having towels provided. The free ice for the cooler on the porch was a great surprise, and there’s coffee and coffee makers ready to go. This place is awesome, and John is a fantastic host—super friendly and helpful. I’d totally recommend staying here to anyone!

My first glamping experience

You know how sometimes you don’t want to leave a 5 star review because then everyone else will know how great a place is and your afraid you won’t be able to get your preferred dates next year? That is this place to me !

We stayed in the Trailblazer tent. It was beautiful! Our tent opened to Columbia mountain. If you want your own bathroom, make sure to get a cabin with one. They are a short lighted walk to a shared bathroom and kitchen. Gorgeous property with friendly, accomodating hosts, and maybe a bear sighting! 100 stars.
