What a perfect cabin for exploring West Glacier National Park! The location is ideal. So close to West Glacier hiking, biking, or kayaking. A well stocked, clean cabin with plenty of “extras” to use on the trip. Dawn was readily accessible and answered any questions quickly. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful stay near the west entrance of Glacier

House was lovely and clean. My husband and I traveled with another couple and it was perfect for us. Beautiful views of the mountains, and the neighborhood was very quiet. Any questions I had were answered by Dawn immediately. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Just minutes from the entrance to the park. Very clean and well stocked with kitchen items. Dawn and family were very responsive and informative. Views of mountains were limited due to tree growth which was out of the owner's control.

Great family house!

2 parents, 3 ‘kids’ plus a significant other= 6 adults in this amazing house!! All had their own space to sleep, enough bathrooms for privacy, the kitchen had everything we needed to complete our hearty, pre-hike breakfasts, the deck was great place to hang playing games and enjoying the view and the fire pit helped light up the night sky! Also loved the cd collection!!

Perfect Home for GNP Visit

This house is great - just the right size for my family get-together, and in the perfect location for daily outings into Glacier National Park. The back deck was wonderful, and we spent every sunset sitting there admiring the view, the weather and re-hashing the day. We'll have so many wonderful memories of this trip. Dawn was a great host. She answered all of our questions promptly and made the whole rental experience a positive one.

Great Stay in West Glacier

We had a great vacation at Dawn's home in West Glacier. Everything was as described (or better). The house is very spacious with great views from the deck. Our boys loved having the downstairs all to themselves, each with their own bedroom. Everything is updated and new. Dawn was very helpful with suggestions and check in was a breeze. We will be back.

Amazing property with an even better location!

The most amazing location you will find! Our family of three pre-teens, and my husband and I loved this place. We had two empty beds and a bathroom we never even used. The photos do not do this place justice. We enjoyed the blackout shades the day we wanted to sleep in. The area is super quiet and relaxing. The host is thoughtful and provided plenty of towels, bedding, and paper products. We definitely recommend you book this place. Location Location Location! Don’t wait an hour in the Glacier entrance line. Book here and be right at the entrance.

We enjoyed the proximity to the park, the deck with views, the well supplied kitchen, the tasteful decor, a space for everyone. All of these aspects made us feel comfortable. We enjoyed gathering to relax after our park adventures either on the deck, in the large dining area and living area. The main floor layout allows for everyone to be together. We really appreciated the immediate communication during our stay. Thank you to Dawn!

What a fantastic stay!!

The home’s location is superb & is outfitted with everything you need for an outstanding stay. You’re @ 5 minutes from the GNP gate and around the corner from Belton Chalet (fabulous dinner spot). The house is clean, comfortable & spacious. Full bath upstairs, full bath & powder room on the main floor & a full bath downstairs shared by 2 rooms. We had a hummingbird exploring off the back deck while enjoying the peace & quiet. Two big thumbs up!!

Nice house and property.

A very nice house with a nice large deck. The house was really stocked with nice items and the beds were comfortable. I liked the quiet out on the deck a lot. Had visitors of deer in the back yard. Being so close to the park entrance was helpful in getting early starts to beat crowds in the park. We will book this again.

Fantastic Stay

This is quite possibly the most nicely appointed property among all the beach and ski condos we've ever stayed in. The kitchen is clearly the most fully equipped blenders fry pans baking dishes immersion blenders everything you could possibly want. On top of that the deck is absolutely to die for! Dawn is very reachable and easy to communicate with and helpful in a variety of suggestions about the area. Would definitely recommend staying here and we would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Diskin

Host profile image
Raised in West Glacier, my parents built the West Glacier Golf Course. I now live in San Diego and teach college at MiraCosta Community College, Miramar College and Palomar Community college and run a small consulting business and assist in managing this property.

Why they chose this property

West Glacier is one of the most charming towns you will find. It is one mile from the entrance to Glacier National Park and right above the West Glacier golf course. An easy walk to town or the golf course. Rafting, golfing, dining, rafting and shopping all walking distance away.

What makes this property unique

Very private, quiet and lots of space for families to enjoy on 3 different levels. Sometimes it is good for the kids to be on the lower level, so the vacationing adults can have some peace and quiet. Full bathroom on each floor, so not far to go to go.
