Om boendet

Duck Lake fasad, nära Babb, Glacier Park, St. Mary's, Many Glacier, Waterton Pk

Vårt Duck Lake-hem är en familjevänlig, varm och inbjudande tre sovrum (plus 3 till bottenvåningen!) gömställe med alla bekvämligheter i hemmet. Vi (Don och Irene) köpte vårt parti vid sjön framför cirka 6 år sedan som en plats att parkera en husbil och njuta av detta vackra område ensam eller med våra barn och barnbarn. Vi älskade utsikten från detta parti (sjön i öster, & Glacier Park & Chief Mountain i väster), grannarna (många yrkesverksamma från hela nordväst), fiske (Duck Lake är en av Montanas främsta öringfiske sjöar!)och en magnifik natur i världsklass (Glacier National Park med alla dess utomhusaktiviteter) som matar själen. Guds hantverk och hans makalösa kreativa geni är så uppenbara för oss att det är svårt att föreställa sig att inte vara helt i vördnad med denna Skapare av det underbara universum! Och du kan njuta av detta paradis utan de långa raderna och liv och rörelse av folkmassor! Vi bestämde oss för att bygga och hittade sedan ett trevligt hem för att flytta till en styrofoamformad dagsljuskällare på vårt stora parti. Det stora sovrummet har en king size-säng och privat badrum. Detta sovrum har utsikt över sjön. Sovrum # 2 har en himmelssäng med bokstäver bokstavligen "passar för en drottning". Sovrum nr 3 är vårt "barns rum & har en våningssäng med en full säng på botten och en singel på toppen. Barnböcker och familjespel lagras i byrån där. I garderoben finns en enkel "taco" -säng och en port-a-cribs. En luftmadrass (medföljer) kan användas i vardagsrummet. En fullständig huvudbadkar (med uppvärmd kakelgolv) har badkar och dusch, stort vardagsrum, matsal och fullt kök fullbordar bottenvåningen. En liten tvättstuga med tvättmaskin och torktumlare ligger bredvid köket. Utgångspunkten, dagsljuskällaren är nära att vara helt färdig (men nu mycket funktionell) och lägger till ytterligare tre sovrum, (1 king size-säng och 3 queen size-sängar), ett badrum med dusch och ett familjerum med en drottning -en säng och ett "spel" område med ett runt bord och stolar.
Som alla hem i detta vackra område får vi vårt vatten från en brunn. Och som alla bostäder i området har vattnet ett högt järninnehåll. Ett vattenkonditioneringsapparat, järnfilter och ett helt husvattenfilter har installerats, men det finns en lätt järnlukt detekterbar. Detta vatten har testats av ett statligt godkänt laboratorium och är säkert att dricka. Septiken är en hållningstank som måste pumpas - så vattenskydd uppskattas.
Stora fönster i varje rum ger utomhus "in". Det finns ett vackert däck vid sjön som är tillgänglig från matsalen på bottenvåningen. Ytterligare ett stort däck fogar ut sjön vid garaget! En gasgrill, en kolgrill och bord och stolar finns där. Detta är ett historiskt däck - efter att ha "räddats" - avsedd --- från ett ombyggnadsprojekt i Yellowstone Park. Det prydde framsidan av Old Faithful lodge i många år. Det är kul att tänka på de tusentals fotpar från hela världen som promenerade, hoppade över eller sprang över sina plankor! Att se solen komma med en varm kopp kaffe eller varm choklad på däck med utsikt över sjön kunde inte bli bättre! Det är inte ovanligt att se promenader i djurliv eller springa över trädgården, och säkert alltid mycket vattenfåglar på sjön, liksom stor öringhoppning. Ett försiktighetsord dock. Grizzly och andra björnar har placerats inte långt från vår plats. Var medveten om !! Kor och hästar vandrar också i detta område, och några få vänliga kvarterhundar. Detta är Montana på landsbygden, där boskap och djurliv överstiger människor!
Vi har också ett litet område mellan huset och sjön som är uppsatt med en liten eldstad och stolar, och några rustika sittplatser där du kan bygga en eld, steka korv eller marshmallows (s'mores! Mmmm!) ta fram gitarren och sjung "Home on the Range", "How Great Thou Art" eller någon annan melodi högst upp i dina lungor om du skulle välja att. Grannarna skulle le, eller kanske till och med sjunga med dig!
Järnpickarna i det främre staketet räddades från den senaste konstruktionen av den nya East Glacier bridge. Vi älskar de historiska känslorna till vår plats! Den nedre våningen sovrum möbler kommer från Copper King Mansion i Butte, Mt.
Vårt garage är fortfarande fullt av byggmaterial, men en fullständig böjd uppfart gör det mycket att parkera fordon och / eller båtar, och det finns utrymme att parkera framför vägen .. En "utrullning" båtbrygga är tillgänglig för tillgång till vårt parti. Glacier National Park ligger cirka 15 minuter bort. Att vandra in i orörda bergsområden med brusande vattenfall, snöiga banker, nonchalant vilt, majestätiska träd och vackra delikata blommor är en livstid! Säsongsrestauranger, små butiker samt St. Mary's Lake och andra attraktioner ligger också i närheten. Ta med varma kläder om du bestämmer dig för att gå över den berömda motorvägen "Gå till solen" (en "måste se")! Snö, isiga vattenfall och vilda blommor och vilda liv plus människor samexisterar fint här!
Vi ber att alla som kommer och stannar känner av den frid vi känner när vi och vänner och familj har haft vårt Duck Lake hem. Vi välkomnar dig till "Big Sky Country", och vet att du kommer att bli kär i utsikten och vänliga grannar du kommer att träffa.

Everything & More

Irene’s home is so cozy & welcoming! My now husband and I were looking for a home to house 10 family members for our wedding in GNP, Irene made a special welcome sign for us and gave us a beautiful towel as a souvenir to remember her home- welcoming us with open arms. We are already talking about going back and recommend this house 1000x over for anyone looking for a place to stay. The location is perfect and Irene makes sure you have everything you need to have the perfect stay :)

Montana Stay at Duck Lake

The house is significantly larger than it appears from the street. There are 6 BR and 3 full baths, with basically a living room area on each level. The view overlooking the lake is very peaceful. We saw lots of waterfowl (eagles, white pelicans, different varieties of ducks). The owner has the place well stocked with games and basic pantry items as well. There is access to wi-fi via a QR code. There were some issues with the d/s sinks, but that was well communicated beforehand and the owner is working to correct. We enjoyed our stay and would go back.

Pretty much PERFECT!

We are a group of extended-family members who found this house a mostly-perfect home away from home for our GNP vacation! Location, number of bedrooms, comfortable beds, wonderful owner communications, nicely stocked kitchen, views!, lovely deck, large dining table, plenty of seating and gathering places, plenty of parking spots, all of which went into making it just right for us. The water storage tank alarm sounded at an inconvenient time for us, leaving us having to curtail water usage through Saturday evening and Sunday before the pumper could get there to take care of it on Monday morning. I certainly understand having rules around a lake. If there was a way to make sure one didn’t lose a whole day to the storage tank issue, we would happily book here again! The owner is lovely and responsive and the house, itself, was absolutely PERFECT!

Cozy home in a terrific location

The proximity to St Mary and Many Glacier (20ish mins in either direction) was a game changer for our Glacier NP trip! Irene’s home is very cozy with plenty of living space, beautiful lake views from the two patios, and a well stocked kitchen. The beds were very comfortable as well. Self-check in was seamless, although be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the sign, as the area is remote and not well lit so it’s easy to miss the house when arriving after dark. The water does have a strong iron taste/smell (as expected), but it wasn’t intolerable for most of us. The newly installed wifi was very strong and stable! The pantry and fridge had a bigger stock of spices and condiments than I predicted which was a nice surprise; that said some of the pantry items are quite past prime so it would be good to clear those out more regularly. The house did have some minor maintenance issues during our stay that Irene made us aware of and some of the fixtures and corners could be dusted a bit more thoroughly, but overall we had everything we needed for a smooth, comfortable stay. Irene was very communicative before, during, and after our stay. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful place

The check in process was difficult because we did not have cell or internet service (which we knew) but everyone should make copies of Irene's emails. The smell of the tap water is an issue. However she supplied us with plenty of bottled water (which was greatly appreciated)..

Perfect home away from home on Glacier's northeast side

Irene's home on Duck Lake was the perfect place for our group of 4 adults to come home to each night after a full day at Glacier National Park. The house was very clean, has ral bedrooms with comfortable beds, a very well stocked kitchen, and a lovely deck overlooking Duck Lake. We sat outside a couple nights enjoying the starry sky and the quiet at the end of the day. Irene made sure to leave everything we would need. There were coolers for a picnic lunch along with cold packs in the freezer, fishing poles and equipment to use at the lake, pantry items, spices, and ziplock bags, foil, and containers to use. You could easily cook your own meals if you brought food from a grocery store. There were all the pots, pans, and utensils you needed. We cooked a meal one night and ate out around the Park the other nights. Irene was readily available to answer any questions. The house now hto WiFi and we were able to text and make some phone calls from the master bedroom. I would highly recommend Irene's home and Irene as a host. She tried to think of everything we'd need as a guest in her home to make sure our vacation was the best time in Montana. The house is very close to the entrance at Many Glacier. You still have to drive a way into the park to get to Many Glacier Hotel, but this is as close as you can get without staying at the lodge. We were hiking the Grinnell Glacier hike and spent another day hiking trails around Many Glacier. We also spent 2 days at St. Mary'y questionsmy

Cozy & Close to Many Glacier/St. Mary entrance

This was such a nice place for our home away from home. We couldn't ask for a better host. We enjoyed sunrises on the deck and the convenience of being so close to the east park entrance & Many Glacier. The house is well equipped for cooking at home and the beds were very comfy. The house stayed cool even though there was no ac. There always was a pleasant breeze. We will definitely share your place with others in the future. Until next time!

Solitude at Duck Lake

Wow, what a great place to stay for the first half of our Glacier trip! This was literally a home away from home. Irene was great to work with and very helpful. I’ve stay in many Vrbo’s and this was the first time I felt like I was staying at a family member’s house, I could feel the love and memories in the walls. The house more than accommodated my family of 4; my 2 teens loved staying in the downstairs away from mom and dad for downtime when we came back from our hikes. The location of the house is PERFECT. We had fast, easy access to the east entrance of GTTSR and Many Glacier. We even drove up to Waterton for a day which I can’t recommend more! It was gorgeous up there! Just remember to bring your passports (or if they’re under 16 a birth certificate will do). We spent our last half in West Glacier but could have stayed here the whole time, this location is much more desirable than West Glacier in my opinion. If we find ourselves back at Glacier this will be the place we stay again!

Family vacation to Glacier

I have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years but Irene is the best host I have ever had. You can tell she loves the property and loves being a great host. She was available before and during our stay to answer questions to make our trip perfect. We were only a few minutes from Glacier and less than an hour away from Waterton in Canada. This was a vacation that my family of 6 will never forget! Thank you for helping me make lifelong memories with my family.

Mountain and lake views!

We had an outstanding time on duck lake. Out the front windows we had a great view of the mountains and off the back deck we enjoyed the lake view with beautiful sunrises!! This house was great for our large group which varied from 6-9 people. Everyone had their own room. The house was well stocked with games and videos. The location with regard to the park was very convenient. We enjoyed many good hikes. The house was well stocked in the kitchen. We had many good meals at the house. It was wonderful!!

Aptly named Duck Lake

We stayed here after 3 nights on the west side of the park. We loved the spaciousness and how homey this lake house was. The views were also spectacular. The kitchen was very well stocked and we enjoyed the assortment of games and movies. The lack of internet is a plus for family bonding. A short walk up the road enabled us to connect to the internet, check weather and download emails. Highly recommend.

Comfortable House Close to East Side do GNP

A roomy, comfortable and well equipped house that is a short drive to the Many Glacier entrance of Glacier National Park and very accessible to Watertown Park and the other Eastern GNP entrances. The sunrises over Duck Lake were spectacular. Irene was great host and has the house stocked/equipped so that you don’t have to worry about bringing small items. Living without internet or TV for a few days was a good break and we found it easy to get emails, etc. whenever we drove through town.

What a fabulous place to stay after long hikes at Glacier! So much space to rewind and relax. Full equipped kitchen and comforting deck. It was just PERFECT for we two couples, each had their own living quarters with a shared kitchen. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to escape the crazy costs of the park's lodges (with un-modern bathrooms - ugh!) and have a cozy, comfy space to enjoy each morning and night!

Serenity at Duck Lake

Great house and location on East side of Glacier National Park. We were a party of 6 including 2 young children. Our party greatly enjoyed our time here, and found it to be serene and relaxing. There are beautiful views from both the front and back porch of the house. Irene is a great hostess and thoughtful with her communication and accommodations. The beds were very comfortable. A few things to note for information in case you miss in the description - as of August 2023, there is no wifi or cell signal (Verizon) here. There is free wifi at the St. Mary Visitor Center, and I was able to get a cell signal around the St. Mary entrance. Other reviews note the foul water smell - the water is well water, and it does smell, which Irene acknowledges and says she has done everything to try to fix it. Luckily, she provided plenty of gallon jugs of water, which was thoughtful and helpful because we did not realize how much we would need. There is no air conditioning, which normally wouldn't be an issue here but it was unseasonably hot when we were there. Luckily, the bedrooms stayed cool at nighttime, but it did get a bit hot in the kitchen in the evening. Overall, we highly recommend!

Duck Lakes Martin’s house

Three sisters with spouses and friends are visiting GlacierNational Park for 3 days. We truly enjoyed staying in this house and watching sunrise over beautiful Duck Lake. The house is spacious for our party of seven and kitchen is fully stocked. The location is so closed and convenient to visit the Glacier NP.

Irene Martin är värd

Värdens profilbild
Don, a retired health systems administrator and business owner was an avid sportsman and Irene, a registered nurse, lived in and loved Montana most of our lives. Several years ago, A friend and Duck Lake year-around resident friend called and told us about this beautiful, lakefront lot that was for sale. We, with daughter Dawn, bought it and spent many months building, upgrading, and enjoying it. It has been mostly a labor of love (but yes, there have been some 'X#*m%vm' moments we'll have to admit). We haven't yet finished all the upgrades that we plan, but the warm and serene atmosphere of the home and it's setting now make it a wonderful place for children and grandchildren to gather, recreate, pand relax year around. Two of our grandchildren, Emily and Joshua, caught their very first fish right off our little dock. Em, the less squeamish of the two, handled her trout until we believe most of the bones were broken and the fish limp. Her parents very conveniently left for home without the frozen fish. But Em remembered a few miles out and they had to return and retrieve the trophy! Joshua jumped in glee when he caught his big trout, but did not want to touch it. Dad cleaned it for him! He held it far away from him as we took his picture (now framed in the dining room).
Winter months here are not for 'sissies'. Often there is an abundance of snow and frigid weather that makes the surface of the lake becomes a skating rink a foot or two thick, which make the ice-fishermen smile from ear to ear as they sit around their heaters in the icehouse! A few of the over-eager have dropped vehicles into the lake through ice not quite thick enough. We love this area. We think you will too!
A sad footnote from Irene: Don, my husband & the love of my life, went to be with Jesus. His contributions to our place are missed every day. I know he is watching with love and interest as we continue our work. 2 grandsons even say they smelled his English Leather" there.

Varför värden valde detta boende

Location, location, wonderful location! Chief Mountain, Glacier National Park, and Waterton Park close by, and seen from the living room window, the lake seen from the kitchen, dining room, & master bedroom, with premier trout fishing in your own back yard, wildlife, wild flowers, many species of birds, and all the comforts of home. You may see a bushy-tailed fox strolling across the back yard, or a deer, and even a moose—and yes! Bears! There is solitude when you want it, yet there are social activities when you want them, as well. The neighbors are friends as soon as you meet them. Everyone smiles and says hello. There are no crowds to fight, and no standing in long lines to see or do what you would like. This area is why Montana has been called 'The Treasure State' and 'Big Sky Country'! We've lived and roamed through this area longer than anywhere else, although we have seen quite a bit of the U.S. & the world. We love the beautiful setting, the raw beauty, and being right on the lake. It feeds the soul, and fills us with God's peace. Despite some long, hard winters, we choose to live here. The benefits certainly out weigh any negatives!

We've chosen not to bring the hustle and bustle of our busy lives to this place. We don't have cable or dish T.V. But we have “bowed” to the times, and we now have a router and WIFI there. You can now access movies through your phone. Books, movies, games (also an “old time” radio) and intimate family times are there if we want them. But this is a 'get-away-from-it-all place', where a bushy-tailed fox trots through the yard. A white-tailed deer reaches up to munch the leaves on a low-hanging branch, a nervous fawn close by. Loons call from the lake. Fish arc as they jump in the water. Graceful swans gliding on a placid lake surface between boats that float or bob as the fishermen they carry cast graceful arches of line on either side of their boats. Ducks quack, quack, quack their silly-sounding call. An osprey or eagle swoops and picks a fish right out of the water. Johnny-jump-ups and other wild flowers riot across fields and hillsides. And all framed by majestic, snow-capped mountain peaks. Our large "wrap around" back patio overlooks the lake. You can catch the various moods of the lake itself, the breath-taking sunrises with a steaming cup of coffee or hot chocolate... or just watch the antics of the aquatic birds on the lake..Momma Canada goose in front, a string of several goslings, and proud Poppa protectively bringing up the rear, pelicans scooping up fish (to the disgust of the fisherman!). Or you can roast a marshmallow or hot dog on the fire pit in the back...Could there be a sweeter place? As we’ve often been told, we have the perfect spot to see the lake, but also the mountains peaks of Glacier National Park. The minutes away attractions of the park, St. Mary lake, Many Glacier, great hiking, restaurants, and even the proximity to the Canadian side of the Rockies are all an added plus! And the peace and serenity of the place permeates you’re soul!
