we stayed 4 nights at the Bear cabin. It is new, very well equiped with full kitchen. Very spacious. The managers came as soon as we arrived to ask if we needed anything, and were very helpful in giving us information about dinning and driving distances to the park. The only thing it was a bit complicated was having to turn on and off the hot spot everytime we needed to use the wifi. We did not find the need to watch tv or stream movies or such: with the beauty that surrounds you we rather be out than in. We highly recommend this property.

We had a fantastic stay at Paul Ranch. There was plenty of space for our large family and it was so fun to see the llamas on the property. The ranch location was so convenient to the stunning East side of Glacier. We would definitely stay again!

Great GNP Accommodation
New cabin, clean, and great location to GNP. Quiet, beautiful ranch setting. Convenient to eastside of GNP (St Mary, Many Glacier, Two Medicine) and Canada, too. Enjoyed sitting at the picnic table eating supper in the sunshine when didn't have energy to go out. We would stay here again if in the area!

Awesome stay!
Our stay at Paul’s Ranch was a great experience! It was conveniently located to the east side of Glacier activities! There were alpacas on the property that our kiddos had fun checking out! The cabin had everything we needed, located on a beautiful piece of property, it was clean and the owners were very responsive! I would recommend staying here if you ever find yourself visiting Glacier National Park or the surrounding areas!

Remote quiet location.
The property has been remodeled and the location was awesome for visiting Glacier National Park. It was early in the season so we were unable to travel the park from west to east, but the property location was a convenient distance from north, east, and south. It is a very remote area near Canada, but suited our needs perfectly.

Perfect Cabin for 2
The cabin is perfect for couples or families with small children. The kitchen is well equipped and the outdoor space with a gas grill and picnic table were a nice plus for eating outside and looking at the spectacular scenery. Property managers were great and very responsive. Easy access to the Glacier NP Many Glacier's and St Mary's areas plus Waterton Park in Canada. Would highly recommend.

Friendliest caretakers around!
Property is on a ranch (with alpacas) and has amazing views. The caretakers, Gene and Terry, are wonderful! They took care of all the little details (plus lots of extra goodies!) and made us feel very welcomed and special. The house was clean and had plenty of room for the 6 of us. Remember that it is on a ranch, so expect a good number of flies and other insects. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely visit
Very well equipped brand new cabin. Quiet remote spot. Saw deer out the door twice. The kitchen was a pleasure with sharp knives, new pots and pans. Comfy bed. Slow water pressure in kitchen but good in shower. Ice maker in fridge not in use. Twenty minutes to St Mary, 30 minutes to Many Glacier. Enjoyed our stay.

It was okay. The problem is that it wasn’t clear that residence was a mobile home.
The trailer is old but in reasonably good shape. The property it’s on is beautiful. I just wish they had made it clear it was a mobile home. The other issue for travelers is that there are few if any alternatives on the east side of Glacier for a property with 3 BRs and 2 baths. The people were nice The kitchen was reasonably equipped. We ended up being glad to be on the east side of Glacier as the Road to the Sun was closed because of fires going up to Logan Pass. We could get to Logan because the east side was open. It would have been a two star if there was any alternatives.

We enjoyed our stay. Accommodations around east Glacier are pretty spartan, so set expectations appropriately. This is a single-wide trailer with 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is a King BR, Queen BR and one BR with bunk beds. Everything was functional and clean. And unlike some rental properties, the owners do not charge a separate cleaning fee. There were nice extras like bear spray that you could 'borrow', and return if unused. There is no A/C, so opening the windows, especially at night is a must to cool the place down. WiFi data is VERY limited, though our phones (Verizon and T-Mobile) worked most of the time for basic email and web browsing without having to use the WiFi. The property is just a few minutes north of Baab and the turn-off to the Many Glacier entrance of the park. It is also only ~6 miles to the Canadian border which made a day trip to Waterton Lakes and Cardston quite easy.

Charming little cabin on east side of Glacier National Park
We appreciated the opportunity to stay on the east side of Glacier National Park. The cabin was charming and we had everything we needed for a comfortable two-night stay. The location was close to the park, and the views were beautiful. Downsides were that there were many flies (despite the cabin appearing very clean, we killed at least 15 flies during our two-day stay) and the strict limitation on internet use. The management warned us that the WiFi is strictly monitored and there would be consequences to using too much internet, so we brought our own hotspot. However, in the evening we wanted to watch Netflix on the TV, but we could not get the TV to connect to the hotspot. When we texted the manager for instructions, we were told "we don't watch television. You are on your own or watch what's available on dish". Thus we watched Netflix using our own hotspot but on a small laptop screen. I would recommend to management that they learn how the TV can be connected to a hotspot and add those instructions to the check-in info. Despite these two downsides, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

great base-camp
Our group of 2 couples stayed in this home for 5 nights while exploring the east/Canadian side of Glacier NP. The location was perfect for the many glacier and waterton areas, and the ride to St. Mary's entrance wasn't bad either. We got to meet the old ranch caretakers and the new ones during our stay. Both seemed very nice. The trailer is not fancy, but very functional. The kitchen has everything needed, and the gas grill worked well. We cooked all of our meals while staying here, and didn't have any issues. One thing is to buy groceries before getting there, Browning is the closest location with an okay grocery. We stocked up in Columbia Falls before driving over from the West side of the park. I will say the king bed in the master bedroom is awful, and should absolutely be replaced. Its so worn out you just end up rolling into the middle. We actually ended up sleeping sideways to make it work a little better, still not good. I'm not a fussy sleeper, but this was bad. Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy the views around the area much because of the fires, until the very last day. Really some beautiful mountains right around the ranch. The animals on the property are very interesting, we enjoyed seeing them coming and going. Overall this was a great spot for us, and worked out well for our trip.

Visit to east side of Glacier National Park
Our family of four stayed at the Bear cabin at this property, which is close to the St. Mary and Many Glacier entrances to Glacier Nat'l Park. The cabin included 3 rooms, with plenty of space for all of us (our two kids-ages 8 & 10) slept on the convertible futon in the living room space. The Property Managers are terrific people and communicated a great deal about the area, including suggestions as to where to stop for groceries on our way, etc. The cabin itself was very clean and had everything that we could need during out time there. We would stay again in a heartbeat and will recommend this spot to anyone. Thank you very much for an enjoyable visit!!!

East Glacier Park Getaway
My boyfriend and I had a great time staying at this cabin. The kitchen was well equipped to cook and grill out which was perfect for us since the area is very remote. We enjoyed how peaceful it was after coming back from long hikes and felt like we truly got the Montana experience. Definitely recommend to others!
