About this property

Private Guest House - Ten Minutes to Glacier National Park, Montana

The Spotted Bear guest house is located on the edge of a meadow along Spotted Bear Road in a private setting on the Foley Family's Abbott Valley Homestead. With three bedrooms, (King, Queen, Full) two baths, a fully appointed kitchen, dining area and living room with fire place, this is a great place to fully relax after a day in the Park! Extra amenities include a full laundry, and free WiFi.

The Spotted Bear has a large yard, colorful flowers, with a fire pit (wood provided) and a patio off the kitchen with a gas BBQ. All you need are groceries and beverages. Shopping is local and very convenient. This is an older home that has been fully refurbished, dedicated to guests, with all modern conveniences for a relaxed vacation.

Abbott Valley Homestead offers seven vacation rentals with one, two and three bedroom rentals each located in a private setting near creeks, forests and meadows, all comfortably convenient to the Park. Each vacation home has a fully appointed kitchen, full bath(s), linens, laundry facilities, electric heat and some with fireplaces. Two cabins, Mickeys (2br/1ba) and Baptiste (1+br/1ba) are authentic homestead log cabins, rustic but fully updated with all modern amenities. Millhouse, Spotted Bear and Jaybird's are three bedroom/2bath homes. The interiors are beautifully updated with all modern conveniences. Cell service is good and WiFi is free. Each unit offers privacy, however, several can be rented with a group in mind for family reunions and weddings.

Located two miles off U.S. Highway 2, eight miles southwest of Glacier National Park and 15 miles from Whitefish and Glacier International Airport, our vacation homes provide a comfortable base camp for exploring the best that northwest Montana has to offer.

Comfortable and Convenient

Our family of five enjoyed our stay at this clean and comfortable cabin about 15 minutes to the West side of Glacier Park. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. It included thoughtful extras like a cooler, ice packs, nice towels and firewood for a fire pit. Would definitely stay here again!

So close to the park!

This was a perfect stop for my family on our visit to Glacier National Park. My sons - 13 and 16 - always appreciate separate rooms instead of staying in hotels. An extra full bathroom was also a plus! We were able to check in and then head to the park. We visited Apgar, Lake McDonald, and hiked Trail of the Cedars the night before our GTTSR pass. Great stay!
