What this place offers
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.

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!
