Absolutely Fantastic Lake Front Cabin Near West Glacier National Park

Get away from it all and relax. This peaceful Montana cabin is located at a ''special place'' on Spoon Lake just twenty minutes to West Glacier National Park Entrance. Twenty minutes to Glacier International Airport, thirty minutes to Flathead Lake...the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi and just minutes away from the small towns of Columbia Falls and Whitefish.

Our non-smoking property is ideal for groups of 2 to 4 people and can accommodate up to 5 people. We have WiFi and a TV monitor with CD/blue-ray player for your use.

Special COVID Cleaning - Our cleaning company will be doing extra disinfection of surfaces as well as washing and cleaning all sheets and pillowcases between guests.

Experience Montana in this cozy cabin on the lake. Spoon Lake is a beautiful and quite lake with abundant wildlife. Relax under the cedars on the hammock and listen to the loons call. Fish from the private dock and catch perch, bass, sunfish or take the row boat out to the deeper waters to catch Cutthroat trout. Swim on a warm afternoon, pick huckleberries or take a hike on forest service land. Relax as you watch the sunset across the lake.

The cabin is located on Spoon Lake, right off the North Fork Road and only a few minutes from the western park boundary. Our location offers convenient access to all the hiking, fishing, rafting and recreational spots along the North Fork of the Flathead River. From your base at Aspen Shores Cabin you can set out and explore. Hike the national park trails and take in the stunning beauty of Kintla and Bowman Lakes in the less traveled portion of the park. From highway 2, you can reach Apgar Village at the main west entrance to Glacier National Park. From there, drive the spectacular "Going to the Sun" road to Logan Pass where mountain goats roam free.

Aspen Shores Cabin is conveniently located close to Columbia Falls. Explore, shop or dine in the quintessential western town of Kalispell, just 25 miles away, and enjoy the charm and culture of Whitefish only 18 miles away. Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, is just 35 miles to the south.

Back at Aspen Shores Cabin the pace can slow, allowing all your cares to melt away. The peaceful waters of Spoon Lake are a perfect setting with no motorboats or jet skis to disturb the wildlife. We focus on the outdoor experience and our cozy cabin provides the opportunity to come close together as family and friends. You can cook in the easy access kitchen while you watch the activities on the lake. Barbecue on the gas grill or warm yourself and play games in front of the elegant Waterford gas stove after a fine day of hiking, shopping or exploring. Climb the stairs/ladder to the cozy bedroom complete with king bed and two twin beds, or open the queen sleeper sofa in the living room and sleep right in front of the glowing fire. On warm days let the breeze blow through and smell the mountain air, or use the upstairs air conditioner for sleeping comfort.

Enjoy lower rates by booking stay dates in May or early June as well as September and October. These times offer a quieter and slower paced experience by avoiding the crowds of the peak season. In the spring you can catch hungry fish and watch as the wildlife emerges from the long winter. In the fall enjoy the colors of the turning tamarack trees while watching the wildlife prepare for the coming winter. If our calendar is full for the dates you are interested, check the adjacent cabin at Vrbo listing #905982 for dates and availability.

The cabin was amazing!!! We couldn’t believe how much stuff there was here for us in the cabin. Would love to come back here for sure!! The loons were so pretty to listen to in the morning. Thank you for everything! Very Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us! We are a family of 5 (2 teens and a 12 year old). The cabin was perfect. We spent time both in the park (mostly West side) and here on the lake. The kids loved to swim and paddle around the lake! We saw one of the loons floating along from the porch one day! Going to the sun Road was open, and we loved it! We were above to hike Avalanche Lake, visit Lake McDonald and stop at many of the spectacular falls and vistas along the way. We hiked on snow packed ground in our shorts and T shirts at Logan’s Pass. There were people sledding, skiing and building snowmen. Some who were in flip flops or sandals were regretting it, though. The weather has been beautiful (75-85 degrees) and no rain. We are headed to the East side today to stay at a cabin. We hope to visit Two Medicine, Many Glacier, and St. Mary’s. Thank you again!

We were here for a week from the San Jose, CA area. We love the location – so close to Glacier that we visited nearly every day. Highlights – Going to the Sun Road, Logan Pass, Glacier via Polebridge, dinner at Three Forks Grille, Best Pizza at Glacier Grille and Pizza (not the best service though). Thank you for providing such a lovely place to serve as our home base as we explored Glacier! We appreciated the cozy cabin. The many supplies and amenities and the boat which was used for evening fishing many nights.

We had a great time here at the cabin. We were impressed at how well stocked the cabin was. Even bear spray! Wow! The loons were great fun to watch and the kids loved the rowboat. It was wonderful to have a comfy place to come to after a rainy hike. We didn’t see much wildlife on this trip. There was a bald eagle flyover at Lake McDonald, a few other birds, but not much else. I was impressed that you had filed guides and binoculars. This was such a calm, peaceful place. We didn’t want to leave.

''The wildlife has been something to behold! Seven Black Bears, two Mountain Goats, Deer and the majestic beauty of the Loons! We will never forget.'' Carl & Lola

''I love this place! The lake is so peaceful and good fishing too! It took a while to find the spot but we found it and caught a mess of fish (5 Trout, 1 Bass, and more Perch and Sunfish than I can count). It's beautiful on the lake and I hope I can visit again someday when I have kids.'' Alan G.

''We experienced abundant wildlife at the lake: Loons, Mallards, Hares, Osprey, and Hummingbirds. The family of Loons greeted us every morning. We can only hope that your stay in Montana is as memorable and spiritual as ours has been. We are saddened as we pack our belongings because this is truly God's country.'' Sincerely Travis & Katie

''We had such a great time here-you made us feel right at home. The cabin is so clean & comfy. This little corner of the world is truly paradise. The lake, the cabin, the whole setting is just so peaceful & relaxing. We can't wait to come back.'' Wendy & Eddy

''Spoon Lake is a dream. Beautiful views, enchanting Loons, heavenly scents in the air and the sky seems so big! Thank you so much for providing such a lovely cabin & for sharing your piece of heaven. We had a new adventure everyday but particularly enjoyed returning here.'' Mary, Greg, Alexis & Conner

Wonderful quiet place on the lake
A great place to get away from it all. Very peaceful location. There are cabins nearby, but there are fences and we never heard anything from either of them. The private dock is great and we caught a few perch. The views from the cabin are beautiful. My only negative would be the ladder up to the sleeping area. It did make me a little uneasy getting off the ladder onto the landing. But this was completely disclosed in the property details, so I don't fault the owner. It was just me. The cabin is not far from Glacier or a quick trip into Columbia Falls. My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend.

Felt like home
This little cabin had all the touches to feel like home - from a well stocked kitchen, to beach towels, to chairs in many places outdoors, it felt well thought out and very easy to enjoy. The location is ideal for exploring West Glacier but also is very close to Columbia Falls for services and restaurants. It’s the perfect place to start and end the day! Cabin itself is small but has everything you need. Bed is comfy, water is hot, and everything is clean. We took the boat out but mostly enjoyed watching the loon from the dock. Neighbors are quiet. Thanks for sharing your space….Definitely recommend!

Quaint Cabin on Spoon Lake
We truly enjoyed our stay in this remote, quaint cabin on Spoon Lake. We loved waking up to the Loons on the lake. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see them as hard as we tried. It is perfectly located right before the glacier national park. If we had stayed longer, we would have taken vantage of the row boat and the fishing gear. Thanks for sharing your home.

Amazing lakeside cabin
This cabin was perfect for a small family getaway to Glacier NP and the surround. The lake is wonderful for swimming, using the provided rowboat or just enjoying from the dock. The cabin contains everything you will need though, while there is a stove-top, microwave and grill, note that the kitchen does not have an oven. The loft is great but would definitely describe the access as a ladder more than stairs. Overall, a fantastic place and 10/10 would stay again.

Placid and Beautiful Cabin
The cabin was utterly charming, and the lake was serene. It was just what we needed for a quiet getaway. Perhaps what I loved most (beside the loons!) was how remote it felt, yet how close it was to Whitefish and West Glacier. This is a great spot for a romantic weekend, or some restorative time away with family to key down and enjoy.

Beautiful Cabin Setting in the Woods
My husband and I stayed in this cozy cabin tucked in the woods while hiking daily in Glacier National Park. The location was perfect for accessing the west entrance to Glacier. It also sits on lovely Spoon Lake which we enjoyed gazing at during sunset and sunrise. We stayed an extra day so we could explore Columbia Falls and Whitefish. The cabin is well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. It was very clean, well heated with the gas stove and quiet. The owners were extremely helpful and communicative,providing helpful information about navigating GNP. We really enjoyed our stay here. Robin M.

Quiet paradise....
To lay on the dock, and hear the whir of dragonfly wings in the day, and then soft whoosh of a jet 30,000 feet up at night in the star-filled sky - it just doesn't get better or quieter than that. Hopefully, you will have the same blissful quiet I had on my weekend. The toughest decision is where to do nothing - the hammock, the dock, the porch? All of life should be made up of such quandaries. Fair warning, the ladder to the loft bedroom is, um, challenging, especially on the way down. But if you can conquer that, the world is your Spoon Lake oyster. Enjoy!

We enjoyed our stay immensely in this little cabin. It was very clean and well furnished. The lake and dock are just lovely. We fished from the dock, relaxed in the hammock and took the rowboat out on the lake. Gas grill is a plus. My only warning is…the steps up to the bedroom area in the loft are quite steep! Overall, a very nice small cabin to stay in. Very close to West Gacier entrance to the park.
