Close to Glacier National Park, nice shower, comfortable bed with xtra blankets, clean, Kcup coffee maker, frig/freezer, TV, easy entry with parking, messages on how to enter, quiet, and easy to find.
One major issue, the height of the entry step from the ground is higher than should be first time in I caught my foot and had a bad fall, arm and hand damage, maybe not to code?
We loved the room. The decor is great, the contactless checkin and check out was smooth. We appreciated the sofa, frig, bathroom and other amenities.
Our only challenges were that Google maps doesn't accurately get you to turn at the right road. There isn't a highlighted sign at the turn either but we were able to easily figure out where we needed to turn.
The log bed is great if you like memory foam mattress. My wife liked the softness but it was too soft for me.
Overall, we loved the place, the amenities like fire pit, grills, and the decor. We will definitely stay there again!

Room smelled like wet dog. There were screws that prevented one from opening the windows to air out room. The pictures showed a couch and more room, but there was no place to sit, just bar stools.
Hello.
We traveled for a week and stayed at 5 different places. This was our favorite. Nestled in the mountains, was a great way to end our last 2 day trip. The cabin was greatly decorated, very clean and just the cutest place ever. It looked just like the pictures online. It was just 30 minutes away from the west Glacier entrance. We will def be back.
Our cabin was spacious and immaculate. The mattress was good quality and the choices on the television were excellent. The location was a perfect balance of quiet country life and only minutes from dining/coffee options in Columbia Falls. We were just a very few minutes from the Glacier NP entrance gate. I would stay here again whenever staying in the area.
Wow, wow, wow. Die beste Lodge, die ich je bewohnen durfte. Sehr sehr gemütlich, toll eingerichtet, absolut sauber und ein super unkomplizierter, eigenständiger Check-In. Ich würde jederzeit wieder dort übernachten.

All great, especially location to glacier, value, cleanliness and amenities. Recommend without on site host, and need to check check-in details, some other way to highlight critical ckin information. We get buried in Expedia emails, and I ignore many of them on xcountry trip. We had driven into pk lot and had no idea how to ck in.
Schöne Einrichtung.
Allerdings war es aufgrund der Vorhänge und der Umstände, dass die Nachbarn der anderen Unterkünfte bei geöffneten Vorhängen in die Unterkunft reinschauen konnten recht dunkel.
Auch der etwas kurze Vorhang im Toiletten-/Badbereich wären verbesserungsfähig.
Nett war es, dass zwei Wasserflaschen im Kühlschrank zur Verfügung standen.
Extremely happy with our two night stay at Glacier Acres Ranch. The cabin was spotless with comfortable accommodations and a few luxury perks like scented soap at the sink/shower, cold water in the refrigerator, and a totally unexpected hair dryer. We enjoyed the beautiful location as we sat around the wood-provided fire and cooked on the individual grill. No noise and safe surroundings made this a place I’ll definitely visit again. Many thanks to the management.
