Cabin History

Built in the 1950s, restored for Glacier days.

Recovered archive copy says the cabins were built while Hungry Horse Dam was being constructed. They began as simple dwellings, at one time without plumbing or electricity, and were later completely renovated with new HVAC into small vacation homes with character and history.

Local Texture

Hungry Horse roots

The story belongs to Martin City, Hungry Horse Reservoir and Glacier’s west side.

Glacier & Reservoir

Between the park, river and reservoir.

The old local guide highlighted Glacier National Park, Hungry Horse Reservoir, the Flathead River, nearby dining and breweries as core parts of the stay.

Loved it!

This is a great place to stay for 1 or 2 people near the West Entrance to Glacier National Park. I especially loved the private Loft/ Deck. I sat out there every morning with my coffee. In the evenings I watched the sun set over the pine trees while listening to the birds.

Would definitely recommend!

The cabin was far better than expected! Just a few minutes from town and less than 10 minutes from the west entrance. The cabin was truly spotless and was built with attention to detail. John provided plenty of local suggestions for food and activities. We also enjoyed the provided cookies and local beer. I would reccomend again and again!

Activities, dining and a quieter basecamp.

Use the recovered local guide to orient around Glacier National Park, Hungry Horse Reservoir, Belton Chalet, Backslope Brewery and other west-side stops.
