Clean comfortable stay in a cabin near Glacier Park

We had a delightful stay while visiting Glacier. The cabin was immaculate. Cleanliness is important to us and it exceeded our expectations. We had our long term friends from Washington State meet us there. The cabin was perfect for our needs. The two separate bathrooms were a plus. The beds were comfortable and we all slept great. We also enjoyed the large table for evenings with a puzzle or games.

Great location for Glacier

Nice, clean, location close to the park. I thought it was more isolated but it was in a neighborhood. It was very quiet though. 2 good size bedrooms and baths. Coffee was provided which was great. No soap for a shower or bath but that was the only thing we lacked.

Short layover while visiting Glacier. Pro: Gina is great. Prosecco on counter is nice touch. Pro: Nice, clean space Small nit: no check in info prior to arrival. Not a big deal for us. Gina arrived about 10m after we arrived. Small nit: the mixed towel collection caught my eye. Not a big deal and definitely happens with other VRBOs but such an easy fix in the era of AmazonBasics. Note that neighbors are not the tidiest, one a logger and another with yard of junk and hay bailing equipment. Also note not the best if you are looking for screaming Wi-Fi, but you are next to Glacier so shouldn’t be a priority anyway. Overall, good place to stay. Only took off a star for check in and another for neighbors. 5 stars for all other categories.

Great place to stay!

We enjoyed our stay at the Glacier Retreat! The proximity to West Glacier is really great and allowed us flexibility to come and go from the park. The house had everything we needed. Gina is great and she gave us some suggestions on places to go/see. If we ever make it back to Glacier we would stay there again.

A great stay for our family

We really enjoyed our stay here for 4 nights. The house had everything we needed. Plenty of space for the three of us. The kitchen and grill were great. The house was very clean. The neighborhood was quiet and convenient to Glacier National Park (about 15 min away). We picked up groceries nearby in Columbia Falls. My son loved fishing and catching some small lake trout near the Blankenship bridge only 5 minutes away. Gina was quick to respond to messages and check-in was very easy. We would definitely love to stay here again!
