As advertised. Great for our family of four, including two young girls, to explore West Glacier and Whitefish areas. Very private, nice shaded porch, grill and firepit. Friendly dogs and horses on property. Had everything we needed for a great stay. Would certainly stay again.

We love log cabins and this one was so nice. Stayed for our trip to Glacier NP and enjoyed the ability to cook breakfast and dinner and chill after long days of hiking. Love the horses and the dog greeting you as you come in

The cabin is in a very quiet area, which was what we wanted after hiking in Glacier during the day. It's very close to both the park and to Columbia Falls, where we went for dinner on two nights. It was clean, had everything we needed, and was larger than the photos make it appear. We really enjoyed our stay and would book this again.

Great Little Getaway

The River’s Edge was the perfect home base for our family trip to Glacier National Park! My husband and I, along with our two boys (ages 14 and 11), felt completely at home from the moment we arrived. The cabin was clean, cozy, and comfortable—exactly what we needed after long days of hiking and exploring the park.The location couldn’t have been better: just 10 minutes from the park entrance for easy access, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and secluded. We also appreciated being close to all the essentials like groceries, laundry, and great local restaurants.Like other reviews, we enjoyed friendly visits from the ranch dogs and horses. It added such a warm, welcoming touch that made our stay even more special.Highly recommend this property to anyone looking to enjoy Glacier while still having all the comforts of home. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Quiet Cabin Across from Glacier National Park

Thís was the last stop on our 18 day National Park road trip from Southern California. My friend and I thought this was our favorite place to call home on our trip! The cabin is so comfortable and quiet due to the location. There is everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. It is so close to an entrance of the park and Going-to-the-Sun Road.

Private, quiet cabin

We loved this cozy, quiet cabin. It's well maintained and clean. The cabin is located a short walk to the river and is in the woods. We loved being welcomed by the owner's two beautiful dogs.
