Perfect location to explore east side of Glacier Nat'l Park!
Posted Aug. 11, 2024 on HomeAwayLocation, Location, Location! Perfect spot to explore the east side of Glacier National Park! Phenomenal view of the mountains with gorgeous sunsets. Minimal amenities, so be prepared to bring all that you need. Nice kitchen with good appliances and equipment but no spices other than salt and pepper. Comfortable beds, and the fans in the bedrooms were necessary and well used. Make sure you have a 4-wheel drive SUV to get up the driveway...it rained while we were there, and a regular car would never have made it. Also, make sure the floorboard heat is turned off if you are there in summer...we couldn't understand why it was so hot inside when cool out and then discovered the thermostat was set to 77 for the heaters so quickly remedied that. We enjoyed the rustic feel of the place, though it's a bit quirky.

Visit to East side of glacier
Posted Sep. 9, 2023 on HomeAwayVery comfortable house, fully equipped kitchen, beautiful location, easy access to the park. I loved watching the sunrise from the sun room. There were some flies as some other reviews mentioned, but not many. The couch upstairs had an odor and should probably be replaced. But the property was clean and the cabin was quirky and cute.

Nice cabin... Know what you're renting
Posted Aug. 12, 2023 on HomeAwayOverall good experience. Cabin had great views and a great location. There's some good with some bad. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are fine. The kitchen is nice with ample pots/pans. Downside.. the cabin is hot. Many windows lacked screens so it was hard to get airflow without letting in yellow jackets and flys which are ample. Also mice are a big issue. After losing food the first night, we bought traps and caught 5. Fixing the window situation, spray foaming some holes to keep the mice out, and maybe adding a mini split unit would make this place 5 star.

Amazing Sunsets!!!
Posted Jul. 30, 2023 on HomeAwayOur stay was great! The property is very cool. The outside could use some deck furniture to enjoy the incredible sunsets.The driveway was fine for the Mazda SUV we rented. No issues. Just take it slow!

Nice private cabin in East Glacier
Posted Jul. 7, 2023 on HomeAwayWe enjoyed our stay! The home location was very private and we really liked that. Large property. The house was well equipped with kitchen supplies, towels, toiletries, etc. We were visiting Two Medicines & Many Glacier so the location was perfect. Small town close by had more than enough options for groceries. Although the home only had 1 shower and no AC it didn’t really bother us. The weather was cool and the home also had a lot of fans. Really we had a great time and loved it here. Host was very helpful and fast to respond with any questions. Thank you for having us.

Unpleasant Stay
Posted Jun. 26, 2023 on HomeAwayThe nicest thing about this property is the beautiful view, from there things go downhill. The roads into the property are treacherous and the rocks tore up the running boards on my truck. I would not advise people with regular cars to access this property. Although the description states a fully stocked kitchen, we thought it was poorly stocked compared to other VRBO’s. There were mice droppings in the kitchen drawers requiring us to prewash any dishes or utensils we used.
Other issues we experienced with the property were thermostats preset at 72 degrees. It was extremely hot and we were unable to open windows to help cool off the cabin. The front sun porch was so hot we had to keep the blinds pulled down at all times. Airflow was very poor and stuffy.
For such a beautiful area, we were unable to ever enjoy a meal outside. There is no picnic table, no outdoor seating area, no fire pit and no landscaping. The only plants were spotted knapweed.
For the price of this VRBO I expected a lot more and was extremely disappointed. I would not recommend staying at this cabin.

Hello Sandra,
We are really sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your time at our cabin. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and we would like to address your concerns.
Our cabin is located in remote Browning MT and with that do come some "rugged" features typical for the area. While the driveway is not paved, we have hosted numerous guests with a variety of vehicles and have yet to hear of anyone having damage to their vehicle. We do suggest guests take it slow as they head up and down the driveway.
We would love to hear your suggestions on how we could better stock the kitchen. We currently provide a stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, coffee pot, toaster, pots and pans, cooking utensils, plateware, silverware, glassware, coffee, creamer, sugar, dish towels, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, sponges, trash bags, cleaning solutions, and a small collection of oil and spices.
We do regularly treat the property for pest control, but as a wilderness cabin in remote Montana, we cannot guarantee there will not be any critters. We will evaluate our processes and see how we can improve these!
In regards to the temperature of the cabin, we can assure you the thermostat was reading 72 and not set to 72 degrees. We have 3 bluetooth enabled thermostats and have all of these set to 65 degrees during the summer months. The cabin does face to the Southwest, allowing for the beautiful views, but this can cause the cabin, especially the sunporch to get a bit warm in the afternoons. We do provide multiple tower fans to help with air circulation and all bedroom windows and sunporch windows do open to allow air flow. We apologize you were not able to open these and would have been happy to troubleshoot this with you if you had informed us.
Lastly, in regards to the exterior, you are correct in that there is no landscaping or outdoor furniture. We are positioned on a slope and outdoor seating would be a bit difficult to provide for the amount of guests the cabin can host. Additionally we do not have a fire pit or allow outdoor fires as this area is quite dry in the summer and prone to wildfires. While we do provide an outdoor grill for cooking, we strongly advise our guests to keep most food indoors as we are in bear country.
Again, we are sorry we were not the right property for you & your group and we will make our best effort to improve some of the issues you have brought to our attention for future guests.
Thank you!

Quiet Location, Nice House, and a Big Problem I Sincerely Hope They Solve
Posted Oct. 20, 2022 on HomeAwayFirst, I want to say that, were it not for one problem, I think we would have enjoyed our stay at this property immensely. Located on a hill near the end of a vast plain near Glacier National Park, the view from the front porch was incredible. A grove of Aspen trees, brilliant yellow with fall foliage, stood off in the valley, with the picturesque mountains of the park looming in the background. It looked like the perfect place to take sunrise/sunset photos worthy of a spot on my wall.
The house itself was nice. A bit smaller than I thought, but cozy and perfectly acceptable for a base of operations exploring the east side of the park.
Except for the flies.
When we opened the door, I heard a humming sound, which I thought at first was the refrigerator. When I took a few steps, though, the sound grew and became a buzzing noise. We looked right and saw them. Hundreds of flies buzzing around the windows. Some dead, a lot of them alive, and swarming around nearly every window in the home.
With far too many flies to deal with, we phoned the property manager, who was very apologetic and helpful. He not only offered us an immediate full refund, he attempted to help us find another rental. He found a couple of places, but on further investigation they turned out to not be available. We ended up staying at the Glacier Peaks Hotel in Browning.
I was very disappointed that we didn't get to stay at this property. The Glacier Peaks was nice (really, really hard beds, though), but it didn't offer the photographic opportunities that this house did. The locals told me that fly infestations in the fall are very common in log homes that aren't continually occupied. Flies are trying to stay warm, and with nobody around to swat them down, they call all their friends and have a party. Better sealing and weatherstripping is necessary, and I really hope the owners do that. This home has lots of potential, and the property manager was very helpful. Fix the fly problem, and I think this could be a really nice place to stay.
