Beautiful, cozy place near Glacier National Park…

5 / 5

The Adobe House was lovely, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stellar location with easy access to the west entrance of Glacier National Park. The house is beautifully appointed with a nice open floor plan on the first floor. Bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. Appreciated having a bathroom on each floor. We cooked all our meals, and I was impressed at how well stocked the kitchen was; also nice to have a full spice cabinet to choose from. The yard is lovely, had just the right amount of space for us to set up a little yard game called Kubb. And the location couldn't have been better, allowing us access a mere few minutes to Glacier National Park.…The Adobe House was lovely, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stellar location with easy access to the west entrance of Glacier National Park.

2 Bedroom Lodge Rental , Sleeps 6, 2 Minutes From West Glacier

Great spot by Glacier entrance…

5 / 5

This was a great option very close to the entrance of Glacier. Since we often had 45-60 min drives once we entered the park, it was important that we picked a place just a minute or so from the entrance to not add on more time. The place had what we needed regarding beds, linens, towels, kitchenware. I saw one person comment on a loud train that passes through but I never heard one at night so that may be rare. Would stay here again.…This was a great option very close to the entrance of Glacier.

Everything about Glacier Guides Lodge was great. From the property, building, room, decorations, beds, towels, breakfast selection, etc, down to the OJ and fruit in sealed mason jars. It was all great! …

Beautiful Views and Wonderful Get Away at Steps Away Cabin #2

Perfect Glacier Stay…

5 / 5

This charming cabin really is "steps away" from the west entrance to Glacier Park. My husband and I loved not having to do extra driving. Cabin is very well furnished and all that we expected and more. Loved the back patio for cocktails after a day's hike. Would definitely stay here again!…

When a hotel gives you ear plugs as part of your check-in, you know that it is 1) a very old property with thin walls and noisy wood floors and 2) you might feel and hear the freight trains going by across the street. This is a wonderful, classic hotel. The staff is fantastic and very accommodating. And it is so close to Glacier National Park that it is very convenient. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for the season/Covid. So we had to see our meals elsewhere - which was a good excuse to explore the area.…When a hotel gives you ear plugs as part of your check-in, you know that it is 1) a very old property with thin walls and noisy wood floors and 2) you might feel and hear the freight trains going by across the street.
