About this property

Private Guest House - Ten Minutes to Glacier National Park

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 fireplace, this is a great place to fully relax after a day in the Park! Extra amenities include a full laundry, WiFi, seasoned larch for firepit and complimentary bear spray.

The Spotted Bear has a large yard, colorful flowers, with a fire pit 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 great 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. 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.

More To Know
All cabins and guest houses have large yards, decks for outdoor dining, fire pits, gas BBQs and complimentary bear spray for the park. The yards are bright with flowers from June through September.

Off season, enjoy spectacular autumn colors in September and October; excellent bird and wildlife viewing in May and June. We are open May through October.

What a perfect cabin for a trip to Glacier NP! We couldn't have been happier with our stay at the Spotted Bear. We commented multiple times during our stay how the host had thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. Little things that go a long way! We enjoyed the firepit one night but mostly just enjoyed the comfortable beds after long days at the park. Thank you for a wonderful stay...we would highly recommend!

The location of the property is very convenient for traveling in and out of the park and the setting is very nice. Having multiple bedrooms and 2 baths was important to us. Because we were coming in early June, we knew the weather could be quite chilly so the fireplace was an additional draw. Unfortunately, the fireplace did not work and there were other minor details that had been overlooked such as burnt out light bulbs, the oven wouldn't work until we ran it through the cleaning cycle, etc. As far as cleanliness, I would rate it fair to good but the property could really benefit from an exterminator's services. Communication with the host was good leading up to and during our stay. However, the hosts stated they would refund us a night's stay due to the issues we had
