We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! It’s quiet, spacious, and spotless. The kitchen is very well equipped, making it easy to cook and enjoy meals at home. Nestled in the woods, the setting is so peaceful and relaxing—just what we were looking for. We absolutely loved our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Glacier National Park.

Our stay at the True Montana Log Cabin was absolutely wonderful. The property felt very private and peaceful, tucked away on several acres with plenty of space to enjoy nature without any noise or crowds. The cabin itself was spotless, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.One of the highlights was how close we were to the national park — the drive was easy and scenic, and the views once we arrived were breathtaking. It made a perfect home base for exploring, and we loved coming back in the evenings to relax by the fire and enjoy the quiet surroundings.Overall, this cabin offered the perfect mix of privacy, comfort, and Montana charm. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway near the park. Loved it!

Flawless Cabin!

We're so glad we found this cabin and rented it for our getaway to Glacier National Park! It is somewhat secluded but that is what I liked about it. One slightly visible neighbor through the trees but they made very little noise. My wife and I would most definitely stay here again!

Wonderful and perfect

The cabin was wonderful, perfect for a getaway. We were visiting Glaciers National Park and it was convenient to the West entrance of the Park, about 30 minutes away. It was more than fully equipped, from the TP to the kitchen, which had all the spices, utensils, pots and pans, dishes and glasses and the whatnot you could want. We really enjoyed relaxing on the side deck. The atmosphere was very relaxing. The bed was comfortable. The shower was great, maybe not for a large person, but we were fine.

Wonerful Cabin and Location

The cabin was perfect. Everything inside looked new and very well maintained. It allowed us to enter both East and West Glacier entrances in about an hour. The small town about 30 minutes away had places to eat and grcoery store. This was a real cabin in the real woods !!!

Perfect Cabin!

This was the perfect place for our family to relax after enjoying activities at Glacier National Park! The cabin was very clean as was the lawn; the firepit was the perfect place to visit or just listen to nature. The hosts were clear with expectations during the stay and the check-in/out process. They also contacted us twice to see if we needed anything. The cabin was much larger than we expected and comfortably housed six adults for the week. I highly recommend this VRBO!!

What a wonderful stay!

The cabin is absolutely beautiful (the photos don’t do it justice). We loved our backyard camp fires (thank you so much for the s’mores basket - what a pleasant surprise!) with the family. The cabin is clean, comfortable and the host took care of all the details. They provided wood, games, movies, hiking sticks, bear sticks, a functional kitchen and comfy bedrooms and living spaces. It was easy for us to get to the park every day and we enjoyed our evenings at the cabin. We had a great stay!

Extremely happy...

First trip to Montana for our 30th Anniversary. It was well worth the 23 hour drive. It was much more then we expected. The cabin was clean and cozy. Great place to come back to after a day in the park. Would definitely return if we get the chance.

Nice get-a-way

Four towels for three adults for six days is horrible! Extremely low wattage bulbs made it difficult to see in bedrooms. Grill was not functional. Need extension cords for poorly placed outlets. Even with all this, the cabin was enjoyable. We cooked hotdogs and marshmallows on the firepit. A fox visited us one morning. The inside rustic cabin was charming. The location between East and West Glacier was perfect.

About the host

Hosted by The Manevals

We are a fun-loving outdoor family that likes to share the beauty of living in MT with others. We are lucky enough to only live an hour away from the cabin. We hope you enjoy the peace, quiet and cozy feel the cabin offers while exploring beautiful Glacier National Park or the Flathead Valley.

Why they chose this property

Nestled right between East and West Glacier Park entrances.4 acres of trees and mountain views, watch and listen to the squirrels, chipmunks and many colorful singing birds. This is the perfect combination for those who want to explore the area attractions, maybe take a beautiful drive to Kalispell, Whitefish, or Bigfork and return to your own private sanctuary.
