Lynx Loft (Snowcat Cabins at Glacier National Park)

Lynx Loft is a walk-up, canopy-level cabin located minutes from the western entrance of Glacier National Park.

A rustic, cabin-style space capable of housing up to 6 guests between 2 bedrooms. The first bedroom features a king bed, and the second bedroom has a queen bed plus two twin-sized beds. You’ll also find 2 bathrooms, a washer and dryer, full kitchen with dining bar and table, living room, and canopy-level deck (equipped with a gas grill, seating area, and mountain views). The property sits atop a garage (not intended for guest use). 

Guests have full access to the house, driveway, and outdoor space. Enjoy!

Give us a holler any time with questions about trip planning, area recommendations, or anything you may need during your stay. Beyond that, we give you the space to enjoy your cabin and the surrounding nature in peace.

8 miles from Glacier National Park (Apgar / West Glacier gates) and close to the amenities of the towns of Coram, Hungry Horse, West Glacier, and Columbia Falls, this is the perfect location for exploring Glacier and the surrounding areas.

Getting around: We find that guests are best able to explore Glacier and the surrounding areas by vehicle. Several of our guests also enjoy biking around the area and neighborhood (pro tip: Going-to-the-Sun Road opens exclusively to bikers in the springtime as they’re clearing snow, so spring is a great time to bring or rent a bike!).

Winter driving: Our region is subject to heavy snowfall and icy conditions throughout the winter (and occasionally in the fall and spring), making for unpredictable driving conditions. If you’re planning to visit during the winter, consider snow tires, snow chains, and any other supplies you may want for winter conditions.

Parking: Guests can fit 1 regular-sized car beneath the deck overhang. There’s room for a compact car beneath the overhang on the other side of the garage. Alternatively, guests can fit their second car along the fence on the opposite side of the driveway from the Loft. We don’t allow boat or RV parking in the driveway due to its small, tight size and grade.

Before you book, read on to learn about a couple of property quirks to make sure we’re the right fit for your outdoor adventure:

While we made your cabin as comfortable as possible, we still are located in a remote area and encourage our guests to prepare for some rustic experiences. That can mean hot summers, drafty winters, or the occasional four-to-eight-legged friend around the property or grounds. We like to think of ourselves as an extension of the Greater Glacier Ecosystem, so it’s all part of the fun!

In true Montana fashion, a very active train runs near the property; it's required to engage its horn when crossing the street and can be disruptive, especially to light sleepers. You'll find a white noise machine, fan, and earplugs in the unit to help with the sound.

While we do offer WiFi, the speed of our Internet *may* take twenty years off your life (although we promise the restorative power of nature will put those years right back on). While we can assure you we’ve spent countless hours with every single ISP in the area and offer up the best we possibly can, the Internet may intermittently go out or run slowly.

We have three other cabins on the same property, each with plenty of private space. The layout feels suburban-rural.

For the safety of our guests, we maintain an outdoor security camera covering the entrance to the cabin. We like to keep an eye on bear activity on trash days, hazardous elements including fires and snow, and other precautionary measures to make sure that you have a safe and smooth stay.

Winters here are beautiful, but they can be intense. Snow shedding from the roof and icy/snowy walkways can be dangerous and difficult to pass, particularly for people with ambulatory issues. We’re also subject to mountain snowstorms that can occur early in fall and well into the spring. Heavy, wet snow and regular freeze-thaw patterns intermittently result in extremely icy driveways and walkways here and around town--we recommend Yaktrax and 4x4 vehicles in winter.

While Glacier National Park is open year-round, several roads close during winter (typically beginning in the fall and ending in late spring or early summer). Visit the NPS website for more information on off-season services and closures.

Fire season typically falls between summer and early fall in the area, so air quality may be unhealthy during this time, particularly among sensitive groups.

Our cabin and the public lands surrounding it are located on or near the ancestral homelands of the Amskapi Piikani (the Blackfeet Nation of Montana), the Niitsítapi (the Blackfoot Confederacy), the Séliš (Salish), Ql̓ispé (Pend d’Oreille or Kalispel), and Ktunaxa (Kootenai) tribes. Please travel responsibly and respectfully when visiting tribal lands and inform yourself of any rules, regulations, and permits before visiting.

We hope you enjoy this neck of the woods as much as we do. Welcome to the greater Glacier region!
