What a perfect cabin for a trip to Glacier NP! We couldn't have been happier with our stay at the Spotted Bear. We commented multiple times during our stay how the host had thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. Little things that go a long way! We enjoyed the firepit one night but mostly just enjoyed the comfortable beds after long days at the park. Thank you for a wonderful stay...we would highly recommend!

Overall, this property is OK, but it has a serious fault - it is heavily saturated with mold. This is not at all apparent from the photos, so it was an unanticipated disappointment. Three of the four of us did react negatively, and one of us departed with sinus infection symptoms that they battled the remaining 8 days of our trip at other mold-free properties. Just be prepared for this potential complication. Guests who are not affected by mold may find their visit more enjoyable.

This cabin was the perfect location for our four day trip to Glacier National Park. It was approximately 15 minutes to Apgar Village/West Glacier and the start of Going to the Sun Road. It was SPOTLESS and extremely comfortable for our family of four. A king bed for my husband and I was great. Each of our teen children had their own bedroom which was also wonderful after a lot of together time while traveling. It had a ton of thoughtful amenities. We loved having access to a fully stocked kitchen and Weber gas grill for evening meals on the quiet, serene patio. The owner went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable. Zero complaints and many thanks for such an enjoyable stay.
