Nice little cabin in the woods!
Very comfortable and nicely appointed cabin in the woods. Bed was very comfy! Furniture was great. Stayed 3 nights and cooked all meals. Kitchen and grill were great! Close enough to Glacier. Only two wall heaters. Took a little to get used to.

Quiet little cabin
Cute cabin. It was just what we needed for our stay. They had maps and recommendations for hikes and things to do and places to eat in a book. Even had bear spray so we didn’t have to buy any.

Little Gem!
Let me first start by saying my wife and I have rented well over 50 properties from VRBO in the last 20 years. We always look for little gems off the beaten path to enhance the overall experience of the location. This one was no exception. Varvara Is a wonderful host and the property is beautiful. The cabin is well appointed with everything you need from firewood to utensils and everything in between. The cabin is beautifully decorated and is super cozy. That being said the only reason I gave a four star is because what is not disclosed is the fact that the cabin is about 40 feet from HWY 2, the main artery between the glaciers, and for my own personal taste it was hard to sit outside and enjoy the millions of stars in the BIG Montana sky when you hear traffic flying by at 70 miles an hour. Would I stay here again? YES! The location is perfect for exploring the area and it is truly a Little Gem.

The right fit
This property was a perfect fit for what I was looking for. The location is halfway between west glacier and east glacier so I could visit both sides of the park. The property has a cozy up-north cabin feel to it but with all the creature comforts needed.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin! We were thankful for the air conditioner and had a lovely evening grilling burgers and sipping wine by the fire pit. It was nicely placed about halfway between West and East Glacier.

Glacier finally!!!!
Had wanted to go to glacier for a good little while And finally got to check that box🤪this cabin worked!! Kitchen well supplied even had a toaster. Shower a little small but worked well Loved all the tp and good quality of it. The heaters were super. It was a little dark in the kitchen area so we moved floor lamps to that area and that worked. Thought hand rail on stairs would have been nice. (I have balance issues and it was hailing) there was no lplace to set luggage in bedroom so we used shuffle board in living room. great little fire pit and lots of wood All in all a comfortable place thanks for the hospitality.

A Hidden Gem
This place was great! Location is perfect for exploring both sides of the park. Varv Ara is an amazing host- she went above and beyond for us and replied very quickly during out stay. Would not hesitate to stay here again (or at another one of of her properties). Highly recommended! We miss it already…

Mid Point location for Glacier NP
We had a comfortable stay. The kitchen is very well equipped with new pots, pans, and cutlery. There is traffic noise from Hwy 2. It is not bad when the windows are closed.

Cute cabin
Me and my wife rented this for a week for our honeymoon. We loved the location, it's out of the way enough that it felt like we were in the woods but it was only 30 minutes from west glacier and about the same for east glacier. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed. The owner was very friendly and even asked us part of the way through the week if we needed anything. Overall a very cute cabin at a very good price point. We will definitely be returning in the future!
