It is a wonderful property. We stayed in the beautiful lodge with a great room downstairs and 12 rooms upstairs and downstairs. Our room was spacious with a door to a deck. The staff is so friendly. Every day we were given “snack bags “ for the day. We stayed five nights and were very comfortable. So were the beds!

Family owned lodge that shows! We stayed in the lodge and it was so nice. I loved the set up, the deck overlooking the premises (wrap around) and the vaulted ceilings. It was so quiet too. We never heard any of the other guests. The ice machine came in handy, the complimentary snack bags were life saving before hiking and site seeing. Highly recommend!

Great to stay in a two story cabin equipped with a kitchen and patio! This was very close to West Glacier entrance! However, this property needs s lot of maintainence (broken AC unit, broken landscaping lights, weeding, scrub the bird poop off the front patio, fix TP holder, windows don't lock), and the owners need to replace the pots and pans (they're Teflon and very scratched up), the dishes are all mismatched, they provided 7 champagne glasses and 1 wine glass but no wine opener (you have to buy one at the gift shop)..

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
I was very disappointed with my stay. The room had no TV, which was unexpected, and the environment was extremely noisy, making it hard to relax or sleep. On top of that, customer service was essentially nonexistent — no one seemed available or willing to help. Overall, I would not recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. There was also some sort of stuff stuck to the wall that had a bunch of flies stuck to it. Your complementary breakfast comes in a paper bag that they hand to you when you check in, with some stale granola bars. DO NOT STAY HERE
