Good place to stay with the family close to GNP

Property listing was very accurate. If you’re looking for close location to GNP west entrance this is it. The beds were super comfortable and the other amenities made our stay enjoyable.

Great place to stay!

This house is on a great property in the woods located within a few minute drive of the west entrance to Glacier NP. It was very clean and had everything we needed including a full kitchen. Highly recommended!

Awesome and cozy place

Extremely good location among trees and wildlife (spotted many deers around the property). Breakfast in the morning outside on the deck is what we cherished. Very nicely maintained. Proximity to the west glacier and going to the sun road is another plus point. Would whole heartedly recommend it!

Cozy & private!

We had no problems finding the rental and enjoyed our time there. Very close to the park entrance. The only issue we really had was the challenge in getting up to the rental with a broken foot/boot from the parking spot. The tub was a little challenging, too, but if I had not had the foot issue, I would have enjoyed the claw foot tub/shower more 😉. Overall, the experience, cleanliness, and provisions were more than adequate, would definitely consider and recommend it again for 2-4 people.

Escape in the woods

If you are looking for a rental near glacier that is remote, but not roughing it in the park camping, this is the place for you. My husband and I with our two teen daughters 17 & 19 stayed here while exploring glacier. The home was exactly what we wanted. A few pointers for other people would be download movies on your devices prior to entering the area. No one has cell service or good WiFi unless you drive into Columbia Falls. We liked being disconnected. Food options are also limited, however the chalet and feida’s restaurant right outside the park were both good options. The ground squirrels on the property were so fun to watch. Would recommend this place to friends.

3 days in glacier

Elk Crossing was just what we were looking for. Four adults comfortably could visit/eat/sleep/rest here. Kitchen was stocked with nec. for cooking. View was lovely out every window. Bear spray, maps and flashlight were available.

Very Nice!

The place was beautiful and equipped with everything you needed. One of the cleanest rentals I have ever been in. It is unfortunate that the train runs through the town all night, but turning on the fan to drown out the noise definitely helped. Would stay here again!

Amazing stay!!!

I stayed here with my three children, ages 10, 14, and 15, and it was amazing. The setup of the rooms was perfect, everything was super duper clean, there was a whole binder full of recommendations and reviews of restaurants, things to do, etc., and it was truly worth every cent that we paid to stay there. We all wished we could've stayed longer!!!

Beautiful Cabin

This is a wonderful cabin in the woods. We loved the peace and quiet. It has everything you need to be informed and comfortable. This home is very clean and well organized. We cooked most of our own meals here. Christie was so gracious to help us with everything. Thank you!

Great location!

We really enjoyed our stay here! It felt like we were in a very remote setting and it was so nice and quiet. It was a short drive to get to the West entrance of Glacier. We saw deer walking through the property each day we were there. Beds were comfortable and our kids enjoyed the games that were provided. Overall a really relaxing place to stay.

Weekend Getaway

We stayed here three nights while visiting for a friend's wedding. The cabin was secluded and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. We really only slept there because there are so many outdoor activities to do, but what is nice is that it is SO CLOSE to the National Park! Would recommend for families or someone looking to explore the beautiful outdoors Montana has to offer!
