Beautiful
The Elk Willows is a nicely furnished, clean and dramatically-located lodging with incredible views in three directions, including S over Glacier National Park. The Paul Ranch is fairly isolated from basic necessities such as groceries (especially organic) and gas for your car. $5.25 per gallon at the one gas station within 40 miles. Nevertheless, the setting of Elk Willows and the proximity to the 3 E side entrances to Glacier National Park makes staying here a no brainer, at least for us. Not everyone’s cup of tea, though.

Super convenient location to Glacier
Location, location, location. This property is so conveniently located to Many Glacier and St Mary village. It's also a pretty quick drive over to Two Medicine. When the East side does not offer as many lodging options, the Paul Ranch is a great alternative. This particular location is large enough to accommodate a decent size family. The unit itself is surprisingly huge. My only critiques lie with the bugs that flew in the house, particularly large horse flies and moths, the difficulty in finding the driveway up to the actual location without much help at night when checking in, and the lack of free roaming alpacas during our stay. We were able to see them on the last day driving out. Other than that, the property was actually pretty good with an offering of beautiful sunrises. The beds were comfortable, the aesthetic was very genuinely Native American, and the unit itself offered so many little perks such as toiletries, laundry pods, spices, and every small appliance you could ask for. I paid for the jetpack to get extra Wi-Fi service while out there however, I never even needed to connect to the Wi-Fi let alone the jetpacks. I got great service through Verizon while I was there. I did find it to be a little overpriced for the overall quality but, I guess you're paying for the location. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Great Home on the range!!
A group of 6 of us women stayed at this wonderful house for 3 nights. We were greeted coming and going each day by a small herd of cattle and the Llama and alpacas. Larry was quick to respond to all of our questions and even when we had a minor issue. The home was very clean, as pictured and had plenty of room for us to spread out into. It is a drive back onto a large farm which is easy to find by daylight--make sure you know your landmarks or GPS to find it at night! :) It was nice to have laundry access after hiking 6 days in National Glacier Park. It is perfectly located to access Many Glacier and the East Entrance as well as a mere 15 minutes to Waterton Canada.

Great alternative
We were unsuccessful in snagging a room in a GNP hotel so this was a great alternative. Plenty of room. Quiet. Short drive to eastern park entrances.
