Awesome, private location that allowed us to explore both sides of Glacier National Park! We loved relaxing here after hiking each day. The back porch was a great hangout area. The house was equipped with a lot of great items!

Rainy weather but still fabulous

It rained, a lot, during our stay but we still had a great time with our grandsons because the house was wonderful. We played a lot of card games that we brought with us, and several of the games that were there. We had space to spread out or be together. We had one night when we were able to enjoy a fire. We had 1 day of beautiful hiking to Avalanche Lake, 1 day of scenic rafting ( chilly but gorgeous), enjoyed local restaurants and shopped in Whitefish on a rainy day. We would definitely stay here again. The house was super clean, well stocked and in a perfect location.

“Perfect location” is not hyperbole - this was an amazing retreat and home base for an week exploring Glacier National Park. Our family of seven (2 grandsons, 2 adult daughters, 1 son-in-law, and the 2 of us) had plenty of room for privacy and time together. Kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals at home or to take with us on day trips. Fire pit with lots of firewood, Blackstone grill on the deck, and full-size washer & dryer were extra nice features. You will be blown away by this clean, comfortable, and peaceful place to call home for a few days.

GNP family getaway

Spacious, clean, well stocked cabin. Rustic interior that adds to the “Montana” experience. Convenient to both east and west entrances of GNP. We also explored Kalispell and took a boat tour of Flathead Lake. Getting around is convenient with the Montana state highway system. We had and awesome week.

Awesome cabin!

Beautiful property. Large open gathering areas. Great location. I was a little worried that it would be too remote. That wasn’t a problem. The internet service was great. We did not miss being able to stream videos or text/call. I almost didn’t want to leave the cabin. It was so nice and cozy. We even were able to see the Northern lights! I’m glad we stayed in Essex as we spent most of our time on the East side of Glacier, even though we were technically closer to the west. Loved the little extra things. Huckleberry pancake mix was a fun surprise. Everything in the description was spot on except I think 10 people would not fit comfortably if at all. All in all it’s a great place, great location, great hosts. We’d love to stay here again. Maybe in the winter. There’s a great path right by the cabin. Didn’t see any bears. Saw a deer. Heard lots of birds. Loved being surrounded by pine trees. Absolutely gorgeous.

Great House and Great Location

A beautiful house in a beautiful location. Plenty of space for everyone, well stocked kitchen if making your own meals, and a great quiet spot if you have spent a busy day in the park. The owner's communication was great with directions and grocery stores. When going to Glacier National Park you must see each side of the park and so this is thr perfect to stay to do that.

Great Property - Convenient to Both Glacier NP Entrances

We had a great time. Property was very clean and well equipped for our adult family of 4 couples. Access to the West entrance to Glacier NP was about 30 to 40 Minutes -- the East Side was about 50 minutes to an hour. Sounds like long drives but unless you stay in the park you can expect similar drives from most properties. Jennifer the host was very accommodating providing us access to some coolers, additional bear spray and even a blow up mattress. Highly recommend this property.

This is a great place to stay! Excellent location right off Highway 2 with close access to either of the main park entrances. It is clean, well furnished, has lots of room, and a great yard. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we had even more time!
