Thanks for your review, I am a little slow in realizing I could respond. You stayed earlier in the year at my house in West Glacier. I hope you have time in the future to visit Glacier National Park again. It is magical when the weather is nice. Dawn
Great house, very roomy, clean and well stocked. Fantastic location made getting into the park seamless. We walked to the river and to the town and enjoyed the porch every evening
This was a wonderful location to stay for West Glacier National Park. We had three couples and each had a different floor to call ours. Plenty of room and comfort.
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!
Loved the location so close to entrance and the house worked perfect for our group

We loved our stay here! Super close to the park entrance on the south side of glacier, and really not too bad of a drive to groceries in Columbia Falls and restaurants in Whitefish!

Thanks for your review and for next year, I will add menus to my white binder for my favorite Col Falls and Whitefish restaurants. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Thanks, Dawn
Loved our stay here! Large home with everything you need right outside the park and down the street from the small community of west glacier with shopping and dining and golf very close but secluded setting as well! Private, quiet, beautiful!

Thanks for your kind review Chris, that is one of the things I love about the house, it is so private, quiet and the deck is so relaxing to just sit and have coffee and admire the view. I do offer discounts to repeat guests if your travels bring you back to Glacier National Park.
Dawn
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!

Thanks for visiting. Sorry you had to work, but glad the internet worked well for you. This summer has been full of folks that have had to work while visiting Glacier or got to visit Glacier because they could still be working. Stay safe,
Dawn
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!!

Excellent property! Very comfortable and well appointed in all aspects: living areas, bedrooms, laundry and kitchen. Being situated just short drive (or walk) from the West Glacier entrance made it ideal for park activities. We would reccommend this listing for anyone visiting the Glacier area!
The property was well maintained abd ideally located for access into Glacier National Park
This property is just located outside the west gates of Glacier National Park, it is on the outskirts of the town of west Galcier and has easy access to both. The house is very confortable and allowed us to enjoy the park and the area. The outdoor deck is great to sit out at night and grill.

Thank for taking the time to provide a review. You are right, the deck is a wonderful feature of the house. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Excellent property!! We had everything we needed.. views are spectacular and so close to everything! 5 stars!! Best location and hostess was so kind and helpful from the day we booked it!!!10/10 We will be back!!
The location was phenomenal - only a few minutes from the entrance. Close to necessities (food, ice cream, gas), yet secluded to enjoy the deck and night sky. We had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend! We even played family games that were provided. This cabin has everything and more than we needed for a week’s stay!

Thanks for your kind words; it means a lot to me, I am always thinking of ways to make it homey and comfortable. I think not having a TV in the main room encourages conversation, connect and of course, the opportunity to play family games.
My kids, which are now teens, like the proximity to the ice cream too.
Thanks again,
Dawn
This was an excellent experience in every way! Clean, convenient, good communication with owner, comfy beds, etc. 10 out of 10.

Thanks so much for your kind words. Our cleaning team takes great pride in everything being spic and span, so we are so happy that you noticed how clean the house is kept. I have already let them know about your review and thanks for you appreciation gift for them, that was very sweet. Enjoy the rest of your summer and safe travels. Dawn and team
The location was perfect, discovered hidden gems in the neighborhood, within walking distance to the river for instance. The house was 1 mile from entrance to the park making it very convenient. The house itself had everything we needed and plenty of room. The view from the loft is excellent, loved the deck.

Sorry for the late reply, I just figured out where to answer these. Yes, the deck is lovely and the highlight of most visitors. Just so you know for the future, I do offer discounts for repeat guests if Glacier is on your travel list again.

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!

About the host
Hosted by Dawn Diskin
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.
