Great cabin but poor communication.
Cabin was awesome! Clean and great decor. No Wi-Fi or cell service so hard to ask owner questions. Felt I got smart ass answers instead of just a simple answer. Also no way to contact anyone in case of emergency. Not very secure. Key tied to a string outside. Yes out in the middle of nowhere but a simple keypad would be better. Much further from Glacier than I expected.

Glacier Vacation
Wow!! We loved our stay at Robert’s cabin. Perfectly located for our trips to both East and West Glacier, the cabin is secluded with the most beautiful view off the back deck. We loved watching the trains! The interior and furnishings were immaculate. The kitchen was well-stocked and perfect for cooking large meals. The washer and dryer was a huge plus. From bedding to linens to decor- everything was just top notch. We also appreciated Robert’s excellent recommendation for horseback riding at Snowy Springs. Shawn and his team were wonderful with the most well-behaved, sweetest trail horses!! We’re already thinking about our next visit. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cabin!!

A Perfect Place to Stay
This property was absolutely perfect for our family. It was immaculately clean and very well stocked. We had 4 adults and 3 children and we fit very comfortably in the space. The location worked wonderfully for us as well, essentially right in between the west and eastern park entrances, so we could go either direction without having to drive too far to get into the park. We loved staying here and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit this beautiful area!

Nice stay away from it all
It was an enjoyable stay while visiting Glacier. Quick 30-45 minutes from either gate. No internet, which was already communicated, so don’t expect to get signal either. East Glacier was the best location for wifi, especially at the Lodge. Property was nice, but very overgrown around the house. Didn’t make use of the fire pit because of all the vegetation. Owner states there is satellite tv available, but we never got it to work. Just a word of warning, the train track is just across the valley and constantly goes back and forth ALL day and night. Really wasn’t an issue if you don’t mind the noise; fortunately the whistle was never blown. Overall, an enjoyable stay.

Gorgeous house with a beautiful mountain view
The view from the balconies was fantastic. Mountains and trees for days. We ate our breakfast outside and listened to the birds and the distant train. So picturesque! The house was squeaky clean. If I didn't know any better I would have thought we were the first occupants. All of the furniture, stair rail, counters, floors, cabinets look new. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything a family needs for cooking. There were ziploc bags, laundry detergent, seasonings, coffee, tea and so much more available to use. Comfy beds, excellent pillows. Lots of towels. If I had to be picky, the downstairs shower is pretty funky and not having wifi was inconvenient at times when we needed to look up information. And bring your own wine opener :-) We have stayed at 25+ vacation rentals over the years. This property is in the top 3 for views, comfort and cleanliness.

The living room is spacious for relaxation and visiting. The bathrooms (one walk in shower and the other has a tub and shower) are spacious as well as each bedroom. The large deck with its AMAZING view, BBQ, and patio furniture was more than we expected. I would recommend this property for your stay and we hope to return again!

Directions to the property could be a lot better. We arrived after dark and had a tough time finding it. Directions should note street name is Geifer Creek Road. The “campground” mentioned in the directions is actually named RV Patk Glacier Meadow. The metal cactuses mentioned are covered in vines and not very recognizable as cactus. The “yellow” sign mentioned is so faintly colored that none of us thought it was yellow.

Mountain Retreat
Our daughter had her wedding in Glacier National Park and this cabin was about in the middle of East and West Glacier. While there were other cabins nearby, it felt like you were the only ones around. Being able to detach from technology was a huge plus and would play games when we were not hiking or exploring what the area has to offer. The view off the deck was amazing no matter what time of day. My husband and son loved watching the trains go by in the distance. Directions to the cabin and all things we would have and not have were spot on in the rental agreement. This was the perfect spot to stay to spend with our family before our daughter was married and our 2 youngest go off to college. I will treasure this time always. This is a gem and would stay there again.

Awesome in every way!
This was our first time ever using VRBO, it was everything it was advertised to be. I was worried about finding it because I read other experiences that had a tough time finding it, if you follow the directions, you will go right to it. It was clean, well stocked with the staples, we really liked the mud room right as you came in, the deck towards the mountain was awesome, I enjoyed watching the trains climb the slope. The gas grill came in very handy. The only criticism I would have is about securing the key for entry, but I can’t think of a great solution. Maybe a lock box with a code? Oh yeah, the park was more than awesome 😉, I think we were able to see just about one of every living creature in the park, no lie, bull cow and calf moose, black bears (2 cubs), elk, marmot, ground squirrels, mountain goats, big horn sheep, whitetail deer, mule deer, oh yeah a grizzly bear while we were on a hike. You won’t go wrong if you stay at this cabin, thanks to Robert for sharing his wonderful cabin with us.

Remote forest setting with unparalleled sunrise and sunset views from the deck
We felt fortunate to find this roomy cabin with enough bedrooms for my family of 5. It was not only comfortable and roomy, but extremely well laid out with two levels- of rooms and decks. The lack of cell service meant we spent nights playing games with the kids and had lots of quality time as a family. We grilled almost nightly on the deck and enjoyed the ever-changing weather and the mountain views were amazing. Relaxing on the deck at sunrise and sunset were huge highlights for me. I also loved the remote location and not having closeby neighbors. Finding the cabin was tricky but you just follow the instructions he gives and then follow the signs posted on the trees. The hillside location is prime for the impeccable views of the mountains and train across the canyon from you. Our family enjoyed the games, maps and books in the cabin, as well as the well-stocked kitchen. Rent this cabin for your Glacier adventures. It was perfect for our daily East Galcier outings. Our favorite of which was the boat ride and hike at Many Galcier to Grinnell Glacier. We can't wait to go back!

If you are truly looking to explore Glacier as well as enjoy the beauty and relaxation with downtime, this is the house for you. It was centrally located to both East and West Glacier. When at the house, we cooked and relaxed on the porch. The house is well appointed and has magnificent views.

Remotely located cabin. Very comfortable and clean. No Wifi and bad check in experience.
Awesome: Very comfortable cabin. Nice beds. Awesome couch - that was great for relaxing after long hikes. Amazing decks for star gazing. Great grill. Okay: Nice kitchen, but could use more consumables or better communication about lack of consumables. We had to buy our own aluminum foil, baggies, and some spices which isn't a big issue, but it should be communicated to guests that these things won't be there so we can plan ahead. Especially since the nearest store is quite a drive away. Bad: Checking in was awful. Google has the wrong location listed -this lot is further up the road than is listed. Additionally, we received no instructions from VRBO/owner (messaged owner a head of time when we had reception, but didn't hear back), and when we got to the *wrong* address we couldn't contact owner because there's no wifi or cell service. Thankfully some nice neighbors saved the day and brought us to the correct location. *No wifi/cell service was a big issue* At first we thought it was because of the remote location, but there's a router and extender on-site so the owner just doesn't provide access. I understand that wifi from a satellite is expensive, but there should be an option for guests to pay as we go. At the very least allow us to connect when we first check in so we can call/contact the host if there's an issue.

Wonderful Family Cabin
Beautiful cabin and location. Easy access to both East & West Glacier. Cabin was very clean; well-stocked full -sized kitchen with dishes, pots & pans, cooking utensils, etc.; extra bath towels and bedding were available if needed; it was great to be able to do laundry; the propane grill on the deck was very nice; good written directions from the host - which were needed as there is no cell reception (not a problem for us - it was good to be off-line). Our family of five adults (2 couples and 1 single) had comfortable areas to gather together in the living and dining rooms or outside on the gorgeous deck, or have private space in one of the bedrooms. Highly recommend this location.

Heavenly Seclusion
Robert’s home is everything that’s advertised. Our family ranges from outdoor purists to others that wouldn’t think about baiting a hook; all of which found our experience in this Essex mountain side home a sure delight. Limited Wi-Fi is not always a bad thing . . . quality family time is a great thing! Loved the deck side views and watching and listening to the distant trains peacefully maneuvering the mountain-sides. Thanks so much Robert for this awesome stay and also for your willingness to work with us in rescheduling our reservation throughout the pandemic. Our family is extremely grateful . . . hoping we can have another opportunity to revisit your home sometime down the road. Gary and Melissa Brimeyer Solon, IA

Great stay, great location
We stayed here for a week in early June, we rent from VRBO all the time and this was at the top of the list for our stays. The location is on the south side of Glacier about half way between the East and West side so it's a perfect location if you are planning on spending time visiting both sides of the park. Plenty of space for large family's and the surrounding views are beautiful. Wish I could post pictures :) No complaints and would stay again if in the area. The only thing which was okay with us is there is very limited cell service, it mostly doesn't work but if you get in the right spot then it works on occasion, we had both Verizon and AT&T, both had issues but Verizon had a slight edge.

Lovely comfortable home base for Glacier
The house was just as advertised, in a beautiful location and with good proximity to Glaciwr NP. Fully equipped kitchen, even including things you might have forgotten (cooking spray, salt and pepper etc). There are some animal truphies so, if you have strong feelings about that you might want a different option. But location and amenities were great. And really and truly off the grid …but with satellite tv !
