Welcome to your home away from home at Glacier Retreat. The beauty and activities are endless.
No ticket to the park? No worries. There are a few different options of getting into the park without a ticket. People are allowed into the park after 3 pm. It stays light until 11 so there is a lot of time to explore the park. If you are early birds, you can get into the park before 6 am.
This rental house is surrounded by national forest. Great for peaceful, quiet nights.
Easy one and a half mile walk to Flathead river where you can fish, have a picnic, or just relax.

Great place to stay!

We enjoyed our stay at the Glacier Retreat! The proximity to West Glacier is really great and allowed us flexibility to come and go from the park. The house had everything we needed. Gina is great and she gave us some suggestions on places to go/see. If we ever make it back to Glacier we would stay there again.

Clean comfortable stay in a cabin near Glacier Park

We had a delightful stay while visiting Glacier. The cabin was immaculate. Cleanliness is important to us and it exceeded our expectations. We had our long term friends from Washington State meet us there. The cabin was perfect for our needs. The two separate bathrooms were a plus. The beds were comfortable and we all slept great. We also enjoyed the large table for evenings with a puzzle or games.

Great location for Glacier

Nice, clean, location close to the park. I thought it was more isolated but it was in a neighborhood. It was very quiet though. 2 good size bedrooms and baths. Coffee was provided which was great. No soap for a shower or bath but that was the only thing we lacked.

Great Stay by West Glacier

We spent two nights here during our family vacation to Glacier National Park. This place worked perfect for us and met all of our needs. The setting was quiet and peaceful, the kitchen well-stocked, and the beds comfortable. Gina was very friendly and helpful, giving us tips for places to try. We would highly recommend this VRBO.

A great stay for our family

We really enjoyed our stay here for 4 nights. The house had everything we needed. Plenty of space for the three of us. The kitchen and grill were great. The house was very clean. The neighborhood was quiet and convenient to Glacier National Park (about 15 min away). We picked up groceries nearby in Columbia Falls. My son loved fishing and catching some small lake trout near the Blankenship bridge only 5 minutes away. Gina was quick to respond to messages and check-in was very easy. We would definitely love to stay here again!

Awesome accommodations

Perfect location to explore Glacier National Park. Just 15 minutes from the west entrance. Well equipped and clean. Having 2 bathrooms was very important. Gina was available when we needed her and communicated as needed. Only complaint the WiFi was intermittent. But the idea was to not be tuned into electronics… right?

Beautiful place

Beautiful place! We have stayed in many VRBOs in the Flathead (we live in Montana) and this was one of the best. Everything was so nice, totally spotless clean, and we had plenty of elbow room with four adults and two babies. So nice to have two bathrooms! Love the covered porch, we spent so much time out there with the throw blankets provided. Gina is warm and welcoming and you couldn't ask for a nicer owner! Glacier Park is a close drive, and the area surrounding the house is very pretty to take walks around. Columbia Falls is close by for groceries, etc.

6/10 Okay

Great location, but seemed lacking

This was definitely a bare-bones VRBO. It was nice to have a big living room, but the bedrooms were tiny, beds weren't great, and there were no chairs or stands to put luggage in. It was a great location, but for the price I would've expected the inside to be a little nicer. However, there are limited places to stay in the area, so it did the trick for one night.

Just what we needed

This house was a gem for our family of 8. The house looks small from the outside but felt roomy and homey on the inside. The design is neat and simple, an open setup. Everything is clean and tasteful, all hardwood and tile floors, no extra cluttery decor. We were thrilled at the long kitchen table with benches as it's rare to find a table that fits us with room to spare. Gina responded to my questions almost immediately which is so helpful when traveling. We would definitely recommend!

It was perfect!

We had a wonderful, relaxing, peaceful stay on our epic trek from Oklahoma City to Anchorage. This was a much needed respite and the home could not have been more perfect. It has everything you need and more. Spotless and new - the photos do not do this justice. The location is perfect - 10 minutes to Glacier or to Columbia Falls where we dined at the local brew pubs and stocked up on groceries. If you are looking for an authentic Montana experience, stay here. Gina, the owner, is so kind and responsive. You will love it. We cannot wait to come back!
