Was very nice for the cost. Enjoyed our stay and the cabin and sauna were perfect.
Unaware that the train tracks and highway were as close as they were. But it was still quite tolerable.

A nice a little cabin
My wife and I stayed here for part of our Honeymoon. The cabin was very comfortable and we were impressed with the quality of the shower and sauna rooms. We can tell that the host has put a lot of effort into this cabin. We didn't use the grill, but appreciated that it was there. The only downside of our stay was that the cabin is in between a railroad and highway, which made it a little hard to sleep at night.

A very nice home away from home
A nice size cabin with everything you need to feel at home. The host treated us with a very good coffee, supply of drinkable water and a bottle of wine. Very clean, nice Finnish sauna and the bathroom located in the next door cabin, easy to get to. Close to Highway 2 and the railway traffic, you can get used to. The host extremely good in communication.

Wedding Weekend Stay
My fiance and I stayed at this property while we were in town for a friend's wedding. Varvara was an excellent communicator throughout the entire process. Varvara takes great care of the property and offered nice amenities. We had an excellent stay!

Quaint little cabin
Cabin was comfortable, we slept well even though the cabin is between train tracks and a highway. We didn’t realize the cabin had a separate bathroom, but the bathroom was nice with a sauna. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyable stay
This small cabin is right in between the east and west entrance to the park. It made accessing the park easy. The cabin was very clean and having the option to sauna after a long day of hiking was nice. Be prepared to hear trains throughout the night and cars along the highway as this little cabin is a stones throw away from both. Besides that, it was perfect!

There is an address number on the main house 14395. The host could put a note to tell the travelers which way to go if they would stay in the side cabin. When it’s dark, it’s hard to see, it’s hard to find the correct place when there is no light. The side cabin WiFi did not work at all. The separate bathroom is inconvenient, particularly for Senior over 70 years old. Cellphone didn’t work, we had to knock on other property to borrow a local phone. The property owner helped to find the correct cabin after 3 hours looking for the property and waiting for her. At least, we appreciate that we finally reached the owner through Expedia.

Good Time, Good Location
We enjoyed being able to come back to the cabin after a day of hiking and have a fire. The separate bathhouse wasn't an issue for us, though could be for some. There is traffic noise from the highway as well as from the trains. The hot/cold water cooler was a nice convenience in the cabin. The location was good, as it is basically centered between the east and west side of GNP. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Great place
The cabin was a great place to stay for our trip. A quick 30min drive to Glacier and was perfectly in the middle of the west and east park entrances. The only downfall was the location to the highway and train tracks. While traffic at night on the road is minimal and train doesn’t blow its horn it is rather close to both. But if you can sleep through that it’s perfect place to stay!

Lovely small cabin
This is a very clean, well maintained location. So nice to be able to unplug and relax a bit. Yes, there is internet but it is a bit unstable. We stayed for 3 nights. The train tracks being close were not an issue. The highway traffic was louder! The bathroom is delightful. Do NOT let the fact that it is detached from the main cabin be a deterrent to you booking this location.

Essex cabin
The host was nice and the cabin and bathroom were clean. The water was kinda slimy feeling and the cabin is really close to the highway and train tracks. That's the only down fall to the place. Our 2 year old son slept through the noise with no problem. Had electricity with a fridge and microwave. Had wifi too. That was convenient. Overall it was a good place

Very innaccurate description!
Very innaccurate description! Located on very busy highway. There is also a very busy train tracks 100 yards to the rear of the property. We counted more than 15 trains in six hours one day. wi-Fi is nonexistent. Could not get into the property on our check-in day due to her malfunctioning lock system. The neighboring cabin had the exact same problem. We lost nearly 4 to 5 hours on our checkout night. also it rained for four days while we were there and a small leak developed in the ceiling right above the bed. And because of all the rain my truck got stuck on the third day on the lawn because for this cabin there is no parking except the grass lawn area. When I reached out to owner of the property to discuss these issues she just referred to her disclaimer that was sent vis the VRBO app the day of our check-in But we did not see it since there is no Wi-Fi and no cell service at the cabin. I think that the reviews from the other cabin property are being applied to this property. Because this is not a cabin! It is a shack room that they have converted. Don’t believe the pictures because they are completely false! I would not recommend that anyone stay here

Cute Cabin
We loved our stay at this cute little cabin. It was very comfortable and the local maps were a big help. The one thing that surprised us was that the bathroom wasn't directly connected to the sleeping space. This didn't bother us AT ALL, the bathroom is absolutely gorgeous and kept at a much warmer temp than the main space, and the sauna is an enormous plus. Dont let the detached bath turn you away. This little place was worth every penney.

Great place
This really was a great place to stay! It was close to the West entrance of Glacier, and close to many other places around the park for you to go enjoy and walk around. Only thing we wish we would’ve know was that the property was between a main road and a train track that has pretty frequent trains. I will say once night came the amount of traffic died down a lot, so it wasn’t loud at night. Otherwise we loved our stay at the property. The sauna/bathhouse was a great amenity as well!

Cozy cabin
Great location for accessing GNP. Only 20 minutes from West Glacier entrance and you are close to hikes in the southwest part of the park. You also aren’t surrounded by touristy things like other places to stay in the area. Fire pit and sauna were awesome amenities!
