Paul Ranch/Elk Willow was great!

All communications with the property managers was flawless, before and during. They met us very quickly as we parked are car and gave us all the information we needed. The house was spotless. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. The views were endless. We even were lucky enough to see the herd of elk, deer and the bear that frequent their property. We would highly recommend this listing for all of the above and for the proximity to GNP and Waterton. If we ever come for another trip, this would be first on our list for a place to stay!

Perfect Place close to Glacier!

This was our third time visiting Glacier and our favorite place we have stayed! Easy check in and easy to find. We loved visiting the Alpacas and horses and seeing the hummingbirds off the deck. The views were amazing! Andrew and Cheyenne made us feel right at home once we arrived. So close to all of the best of East Glacier and so cozy and inviting. The added bonus was the incredible stargazing! We made so many special family memories here!

Amazing stay on this beautiful ranch!

We were blown away by this property. What a gorgeous ranch and the house we stayed in (Elk Willows) was on top of the hill looking out over the ranch. It was so fun to see the horses and alpacas roam around. We also saw a black bear, an elk and deer right on the property. This house is located about 30 minutes to the stunning Many Glacier area. The house was so clean and spacious. It had all the comforts of home and then some. We appreciated the washer & dryer and also that they provided bear spray. Cheyenne and Andrew were wonderful hosts!

Great place!

Amazing view of Glacier Mountains from one set of windows and a long view of horses out another window. We were hoping to see the Northern Lights, but they didn’t cooperate but the view allowed for it. The house was clean, well organized and private with a lot of books. Very comfortable. Our king size bed in the master was perfectly comfortable. The property managers were very nice and friendly and we loved seeing the horses and alpacas. Bring plenty of bottled water as the property is on a cistern system. We would definitely stay there again!

15 Minutes to Many Glacier

Stayed at the Elk Willows home. Perfect for me and my husband. Well stocked kitchen, full sized washer / dryer, super comfortable king size bed, good quality bath towels, loved the soaker tub - after full hiking days it was a blessing. The caretakers, Cheyenne and Andrew were awesome! Very friendly and outgoing. Our rental car had a low tire and they met us at the shop on the ranch and allowed my husband to use the air compressor to air the tire up! We would stay here again in a minute! We brought all of our groceries on the west side and cooked every single night. Highly recommend staying here, the big sky views are beautiful.

Close to Many Glacier

I stayed with four of my friends for a girls' hiking trip in this immaculate, comfortable and very spacious home. We were surprised at how much room there was for everyone. The house had everything we needed and then some! The managers, Cheyenne and Andrew, were so friendly and accommodating. It was fun to see the horse and alpacas, too. The location is rural, quiet and has dark skies to see the amazing stars at night. It is located about 20 minutes to the Many Glacier entrance, which was our favorite part of Glacier National Park. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks, Cheyenne and Andrew!

This is an amazing spot on the East side of Glacier

Great location and a very memorable stay! The ranch managers were so kind and easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed meeting them. The property is exactly as described and very comfortable. The alpacas, llama, and horse were so fun to see on the property. The views across the valley are beautiful. There are bears that roam the hills, so you have to be cautious, but we never felt in danger. The location was very close to the Many Glacier entrance and to St Mary. Please take the warnings of limited grocery options to heart. Everything is more expensive in this area, so come prepared as best as you can. I couldn't recommend this place more!! Loved it!

Fabulous Location on East Side

This is a gorgeous property with 3 good sized bedrooms with plenty of storage space. Kids enjoyed helping herd the alpacas in at night. Fabulous location with easy access to Many Glaciers, GTSR, and not too far from Two Medicine. Views are beautiful from property. Hosts were very helpful. Only negative is limited restaurants and absurdly expensive groceries on the east side. That said, well worth it.

Amazing views and location!

This property exceeded our expectations! Upon arriving, we were greeted by the property managers, who were very welcoming and friendly. As soon as we walked into this spotless home, we immediately felt comfortable. There was more than enough room for our family of four, with all of the amenities that we needed. The location is only a 30 minute drive to Many Glacier Hotel and a 15 minute drive to the Glacier East entrance in St. Mary. And the views from the home are spectacular!! I highly recommend staying here, and we will definitely stay again during our next trip to Montana!

Great views, comfortable place, Memorable stay

This home is located on a hillside of a large ranch. The views are outstanding. The hosts are EXCELLENT. The house itself is very comfortable and roomy. all the rooms are good sized and the living room, kitchen are relatively large. The deck is great to sit out on and just enjoy the location. No A/C so it can get hot during the day, but cools off well at night. It's somewhat remote - so, if you like being away from the crowds it's great. The downside is groceries, restaurants and such are a bit of a drive. Overall, we loved the place and would certainly recommend it.

Short Stay in Babb

We only stayed two nights at this lovely property but wished we had time to stay much longer. It was only 15 minutes from the St Mary's entrance on the east side of Glacier Park. The property was immaculate with comfortable beds, and the host left clear instructions for the house and responded promptly to texts when we had questions. We especially enjoyed getting to have coffee in the morning on the deck while looking over the gorgeous ranch property. We even got to see one of the resident bears on the last morning, while he walked through to the woods!

Great location

It’s hard to find a larger home to rent on the east side of Glacier. This location was perfect for visiting the park, and it was in a beautiful setting. There is no air conditioning which was fine, but some of the windows are not working easily so were very difficult to open and keep open. The ice maker in the freezer doesn’t work, so it would have been nice to have some ice cube trays available. Some kitchen spray cleaner would have been helpful for keeping the counters and stovetop clean as well. These were all minor details that would be easily taken care of for future guests. Overall this was a great place that I would definitely recommend.
