Brilliant 2 night stay. Hosts were amazing, so helpful. Cabin was very comfortable and warm, we suggested a kettle would be a good addition especially for us English who like a hot cup of tea. Great location for West Glacier. Would definitely recommend.

We had a great time! The cabin was lovely. We usually tent camp so this was dreamy to have comfortable beds every night after long days of hiking and exploring. The kids LOVED the paddle boards/pond and the little dog, Lexi :) we would definitely return. Very laid back environment and welcoming.

Check in was seamless and John greeted us as soon as we pulled onto the property. He gave the best tips for homemade ice cream in town and where to buy groceries. The kitchen was a short walk from our cabin and made it so easy to do our own cooking which we appreciated a lot. We were even able to do laundry on sight which was awesome.

Great cabin experience

We stayed at Columbia Mountain Ranch while visiting Glacier National Park. The Cabin was a short drive from the West Glacier entrance. The cabin was very clean and just what we wanted for our 8 occupants.

Great place to stay for a Glacier getaway

This was the perfect place for our visit to Glacier. We knew we would spend a lot of our time outside and at the park and wanted close, easy access to the entrance, trails, and sights. The cabin was clean and cozy. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. It was exactly what we needed!

Cute, cozy little cabins

It was a perfect mix of camping and glamping. It is a simple cabin with no running water but electricity andaccess to a community building with restrooms, showers, a fully stocked kitchen, books, games and maps. We stayed three days, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. If we visit Glacier National Park again we will for sure stay here.

Beautiful place to stay!

Our family spent two nights here on the tail end of a 9-state road trip to see national parks and it was an incredible way to end our trip. We spent a day at Glacier and then hung around in the evening. It’s a beautiful property, lots for kids to do outside, so quiet and peaceful, and we loved the 4th of July fireworks the owners put on. Communication and accommodations were excellent and the short walk to the bathroom was no problem. Looking forward to visiting again!

Tamarack Cabin

Very cute cabins - greeted right away- even given a tour! Wow- an ice machine, couldn’t have asked for more. Bathrooms were clean. Good value for the area. Property was set back from the road and felt secluded. I would stay here again !

Tamarack Cottage

This was the perfect space for our family to get away! We (family of 6) stayed two nights to visit Glacier National Park (20 mins). The cottages were a good size, had good accommodations, and the kids loved to run around outside where they had a variety of other things to occupy their time. The bathrooms and cabins were clean. Owner’s communicated well. Our family wants to go back! Thanks for a great stay!

Secluded but close to many family friendly outing options

We loved that we could bring our dogs & it was back off the highway and very relaxing. The bath house/restrooms were close enough that it wasn't an issue not having a bathroom in our cabin, plus the nice walk way made you enjoy nature and it reminded me of going to camp when I was little. It was our 28 & 20 year old sons, my husband & I, as well as our 2 dogs. It was a nice touch having a coffee maker & creamer in the cabin for the morning. We all enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again

I'm almost hesitant to post this because it's such a fantastic place and I wanna keep it a little secret. I cannot say enough about this place. They literally thought about everything. I couldn't believe how much they offered that was just there to use. Fishing poles and bait, bug repellant, all kinds of water toys, an amazing fire pit and all the wood you wanna burn, towels, a water cooler in your room, anything in the pantry, etc. They had everything, even skewers for marshmallows! Everyone was super friendly, John was so helpful, everything was super clean. We had such a lovely time, we spent a lot of nights around the bonfire looking at the stars and watching the fish jump. We kept saying it felt more like we were staying with friends and not a campground. Highly recommend. Close enough to all that glaicer offers.

Relaxing and beautiful setting

We stayed here when we moved across the country in 2020. We loved it so much we decided to do it again in 2023 as we were moving back. It was just as wonderful as we remembered. The cabin is small and comfortable and has everything you need. The bathroom and main kitchen are just a short walk away. The setting is so quiet and beautiful. There is a fire pit you can sit around and a small pond our daughter enjoyed jumping in. It’s a short drive to Glacier and to the stores. Each cabin has its own Trager grill. The host is friendly and helpful. Great place to stay.
