Majestic Views and Cozy Home

The property was well maintained and clean when we arrived. We cooked great food, admired the views and enjoyed our stay. We were very close to the East Gate of Glacier National Park. A great place to rest and relax after our day trips onto the beauty of the surrounding areas.

Great place for a family vacation

The house has room so that people can have there space or spend time together. With multiple sleeping arrangements on each floor helps to navigate staying with people who have mobility issues. The house was also well stocked for cooking there but also close to multiple eating options.

Welcoming House & Fantastic Private Location

The Glacier House was more than we could have asked for while spending family time with our grown children. We all had plenty of room to store our things and comfortably be together or spread-out. My son has been to Glacier NP a few times and was very impressed with the location! We loved the views and it feels very private even with a few, quiet neighbors. We would definitely stay at the Glacier House again.

Amazing house just outside Glacier National Park!

Spacious, clean, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, large fully equipped kitchen, ping pong table, washer and dryer. Great location just outside Glacier NP. Massive windows facing the mountains, deck on 3 sides of the house. Excellent for a family! Thanks for letting us stay at “The Glacier House”!!!

Overall very comfortable but no dishwasher

The house feels newly renovated, clean and comfortable. It is about 10 minutes walk from the west entrance of the park. Though FYI, it is about 3 miles walk from the entrance to the closest shuttle stop. If you are planning to cook at home, pay attention there is no dishwasher. There is some larvae on the ground floor, but I assume it could be easily treated. Overall, we had great time at the house, and the combination of quality and price is reasonable.

Wonderful Property

I could have stayed in this house forever! I loved the design and how it was set up. We spent much time on the balcony overlooking Glacier National. It was perfect! The Glacier Highlands restaurant at the bottom of drive was an added bonus. Would love to visit a gain in the snow! Highly recommend!!!

Close to the park but tucked into the woods.

Our family really loved the stay at this house. It’s very close to the West entrance and it’s also tucked into the woods. We hardly noticed any neighbors. House is very clean and had a lot of big windows with a nice view of the trees. Also, surprised how roomy the house was. The ping pong table was also a nice addition. If you like privacy, this is the house for you. No complaints, everything was just as described, even better.

Serene and Beautiful Glacier Getaway!

Glacier House, it’s location and the management and/or owners are all wonderful! Words and photos don’t adequately describe how lovley this home is. The view from the main floor is stunning. All communication and inquiries were prompt and helpful. Beds and furnishings are all very comfortable and the home is well appointed for cooking meals. We greatly enjoyed our family vacation in Glacier park and loved the opportunity to rent The Glacier House. We highly recommend this home! You’ll realize you hit the jackpot when you book and arrive at The Glacier House! Thank you Kyle, for helping ensure our visit to Glacier was all it could be and more! We hope to return someday!

Glacier NP Heaven!

The home is open, spacious, clean, and bright. I could sit on the back deck and enjoy that view all day. We loved the private and forested location that's just a short walk to the little town of West Glacier with its gift shops, basic grocery, and rafting company. It's just about as close as you can get to the park entrance. There's a train station just across the way and you can hear them from the home, but it was never a problem. There's a little restaurant at the bottom of the driveway that serves great fruit pies if that's your thing. (That became a nightly routine for us.) We also discovered a beautiful walking path that takes you up one side of the river and down the other with amazing views of the water and surrounding forest. The week we visited there was smoke from distant forest fires obscuring views of the mountains and one of our kids got sick so we werent able to do all the things we planned. But, the house was such a great place to just sit and relax that we still had a great vacation. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Great location, great view, nice house

Beautiful view in a quiet location just a minute away from the west side of Glacier. House is as advertised and is very comfortable. The few things I would recommend improving: The Q bed is soft and jiggly. The K is very hard. Sort of like Goldilocks, it's hard to find a bed that's decent. To be honest, the twin beds were best. The kitchen is not as well equipped as we typically expect in a VRBO. It would be helpful to have a few more pots and pans and basic cooking necessities like salt and pepper, sugar, a few common spices, some oil, things like that. It's not a big investment for a home and it makes a significantly easier trip if you can count on some basics. This is especially helpful since groceries are pretty far away. One more thing to note if you're renting in the area: West Glacier has train tracks running through it. Trains run frequently. Few are blowing their horns, so it's not really a big deal. Don't these things stop you. Location, location, location. And view!
