This lovely, private cottage was clearly designed with the short-term Glacier National Park renter in mind — from the well stocked kitchen to the layout, decor and furnishings to the laundry room (where we could easily wash those muddy hiking pants) to the hot tub to ease those tired hiker legs. Additionally, our host was very responsive to my logistics questions.
This was our first time visiting the park, and we found Hungry Horse to be the perfect launching point. Very easy to reach West Glacier and manageable to also visit East Glacier and Many Glacier — even though much to our disappointment the Going to the Sun Road closed due to winter weather our first day in the park. Plus, Columbia Falls, which has the most restaurants and conveniences, was just a short drive in the opposite direction.
We want to plan a longer trip to Glacier in the summer and have already decided that this is where we want to stay!
