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.

Pets: Our pet fee is $20 per dog per night. We can accommodate a maximum of two dogs (and dogs only at this time), but get in touch with us if you have a special circumstance. Let us know if you plan to bring your furry friend(s) along, and we’ll share our full policy.

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 the 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!

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!).

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.
