My family and I had a wonderful time at this beautiful cabin! It’s well stocked with many luxury amenities; better in person! It’s only a few minute drive to the west entrance of glacier national park. Easily 5 stars.

Nice house, great location! we just loved the backyard! We ran out of gas for the grill and Josip came at no time to replace it for us - really appreciate it!! Very close to the Glacier park and grocery store. They provide everything you needed or can’t think of -like the hammock! all the furnitures are wood hand made. Although there’s training driving over, it didn’t bother our sleep. Thanks again for hosting us!!

We had an amazing stay here! The space was so clean and the backyard was beautiful. We spent most dinners out on the patio enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The hot tub was an added bonus and really helped relax after a long day of hiking. The drive to west glacier was also very convenient! We highly recommend staying here!!
Home in Whitefish
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 157 reviewsWhitefish Riverfront Apartment — 2bd/1ba 5 acres
This was a great home away from home. We traveled with our fifteen year old and one year old and the bunk beds were great for that. Plus they had a pack and play and high chair and toys that made life with a baby so much easier. I didn’t have to baby proof anything. It was all safe. Valerie was super responsive when I asked for a man earlier check in and needed to borrow some things. They also let us use their bear spray which was great because apparently you can’t fly with it. There were always deer in the yard and we were five to fifteen minutes from everything. The bed was nice and warm too!! I have nothing negative to say!! Choose this place!

The house was so cozy and inviting. The yard was beautiful with so much wildlife. They provide wood for the outdoor fireplace. It was wonderful to sit in front of the fireplace and talk. Definitely a wonderful stay and would love to stay here again.

At checkin we were welcomed with the most delectable baked goods ever!! After a 20hr road trip from AZ the upgraded bathroom amenities were fantastic! The area is gorgeous, remote but centrally located to our family in both Kalispell/Columbia Falls and had everything we needed for 4 night stay for our whole family. The kids looked forward to saying hello to Tipsy the little chocolate lab everyday- thank you!!

Liana's home was such a wonderful experience for our family's holiday dinner. Super clean, tons of cookware, great amenities, all to feel just like home. We brought our dog and had a huge back yard for him. Liana also had a closet full of games for entertainment, we didn't end up playing any, but it was great to have that option. Liana was very helpful throughout the process. and I would definitely book at her place again and would highly recommend.

Cabin in Columbia Falls
5 out of 5 average rating, 62 reviewsSerene Mountain&River View Cabin Near Glacier NP
My husband and I booked this place for our 19th anniversary. First trip to Montana and it did not disappoint! We had the best time! Denise was helpful with places to check out for hiking and food. I will note that a good portion of the Going to the Sun Road was closed for the season as was the Whitefish Ski lodge (it opens back up in Dec for skiing). However we still enjoyed our stay and could get as far as Avalanche Lake trails on the GTTSR. Lake McDonald was beautiful and we had two clear days to see the mountains. The house was clean and spacious, and the view was amazing. There is a train that runs every two hours very close to the house but honestly didn’t disturb us too much. Columbia Falls is a beautiful little town and this house is great location from airport, shops, restaurants and hiking. We plan to come back to explore more of Glacier Park. We loved our stay!

We loved staying g at Kathy’s Airbnb. We had spacious accommodations and a beautiful view situated very close to the West Entrance of GNP. We appreciate having an equipped kitchen and a washer and dryer. This option was so much better than being limited to a hotel room or more confined quarters. Kathy and Steve were very helpful and even had bear spray available for us to use which we never needed. Thank you!

Your guide to West Glacier
Welcome to West Glacier
Many of Montana’s most popular adventures start in West Glacier, situated, perhaps unsurprisingly, at the west entrance to the iconic Glacier National Park. This tiny outpost serves as the main hub for professional guides and outdoor outfitters, who lead bucket-list excursions into the surrounding alpine landscapes. The area’s historic chalets, cabins, and rustic homes have hosted daring travelers since the early 20th century, when the Great Northern Railway arrived at these glacier-carved peaks.
Today, it remains the jumping-off point for hikers, boaters, and whitewater rafters, who begin their outings on the widely photographed Going-to-the-Sun Road. Famous for its hairpin turns and stunning viewpoints, this seasonal two-lane highway links many of the park’s most-visited trails, mountain lakes, and peaks. For much of the year, the region’s infamously heavy snowfall makes the road inaccessible to any traffic, granting experienced snowshoers and cross-country skiers nearly free rein of the wintry park.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in West Glacier
Most people plan their trips to West Glacier around the opening of Going-to-the-Sun Road. Due to the unpredictable weather, the road has no set schedule for reopening, but it typically becomes accessible to traffic in mid-June to early July. The warmest summer months of July and August are prime for hiking and boating. Many visitor services operate on a seasonal basis, so West Glacier tends to quiet down by late September, when solitude-seekers enjoy the changing colors of the foliage. As the weather gets colder, ice and snow storms complicate off-season travel. However, it’s a magical time for experienced winter sports lovers. While whitewater guides offer trips throughout the summer, the late-spring melt makes May to June ideal for rafting the big waters of the Flathead River.
Top things to do in West Glacier
Lake McDonald
The reflection of snowy mountains in chilly Lake McDonald ranks among the many impressive views you’ll see along Going-to-the-Sun Road. At about 10 miles (16 km) long and 472 feet (143.8 m) deep, it’s the largest lake in Glacier National Park, making it the top destination for boating and fishing around West Glacier.
Hidden Lake Overlook
More than 700 miles of trails — ranging in difficulty from easy day excursions to challenging backcountry treks — make hiking one of the best ways to explore the varied terrain in Glacier National Park. The moderate 2.8-mile (4.5 km) round-trip hike to the Hidden Lake Overlook passes through wildflower meadows, giving you views of a serene mountain lake and snow-dusted peaks. You’ll find the trailhead at Logan Pass Visitor Center, where you can get directions for more of the hikes throughout the area.
Whitewater Rafting
Forming the southern boundary of the national park, the wild and scenic Flathead River rushes with arguably the most thrilling whitewater rapids in Montana. Licensed rafting guides offer half-day, full-day, and overnight trips on the Middle and North forks of the river, with outings suiting both new and experienced rafters.
