Cozy Stay
Cozy place set back from a main highway/road. Directions given by host to get to the home were very helpful. There was plenty of necessities on the property (towels, kitchen utensils, hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner, etc). The wifi worked pretty well. The stay was about 1 hour from east glacier NP and 35 mins from west glacier. Very hospitable host, would stay here again!

Cozy stargazing cabin
I cannot put into words how amazing our stay was! The cabin is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your vacation to Glacier. The bed is soooo soft, the wooden decor is beautiful, and there are plenty of board games to play while you enjoy the quiet forest. The scenery is stunning. My partner and I stargazed every night and even saw the Milky Way and so many shooting stars that we lost count. Amazing place to feel peace and solitude. We will be back!

Perfect spot for a stay while at Glacier National
Wonderful, comfortable and cozy accommodations that were extremely clean. When returning to Glacier National, we’d certainly stay here again. It was safest we ever felt, with the possibility of bears being in the vicinity. Jack & Barb

Nice place.
Clean, beautiful construction, very secluded (but trains passing 24 hours a day only a few yards away). Great place for maximum of 4 people. Centrally located for both East and West park entrance although still a fair drive away. All amenities for cooking. Would definitely stay here again. Hosts very kind and accommodating.

Beautiful and Peaceful. Great Location.
We took the train to the Essex, MT station, had a Turo waiting there and drove the 2 miles to this beautiful location. The carriage house was simple and welcoming. The host had great personal touches. Because this is halfway from the St. Mary's and West Glacier entrances to the park we had our pick everyday of where to go.

We had a great time at this cabin. It was very cozy and very clean. I enjoyed the views from the balcony. The train tracks are too close to the cabin. Other than that, everything was great!

Trip to Glacier National Park
Property was very well maintained. Everything was clean and there was a nice welcome basket. Excellent location for visiting Glacier National Park. Although the rental was attached to another home had a lot of privacy amd never noticed the home owners. It is near railroad tracks but it was not an issue. Would definitely stay here again.

Exceptionally clean and conveniently located to both west and east entrances to Glacier National Park. Master bedroom and full bath on ground level with kitchen, 1/2 bath, and living space located upstairs. Taller folks might find kitchen space somewhat uncomfortable to work in and regular rail traffic nearby are the only downsides to this fantastic home base for a great Glacier NP getaway! We’d definitely stay here again and enthusiastically recommend to others!

Stay at Roz and Mike's carriage house near Essex Montana
The place was so clean, well-stocked and in a very good location between the two park entrances of Glacier National Park. I really liked the rustic feeling of the carriage house. Roz gave us a lot of information regarding things to see and do while we were here. Would definitely return and also recommend to family and friends. It was great!

A perfect spot
Situated between the East and West entrances, this location is ideal for hitting both sides of the park. Not only that, it's a great rental with a great host. It was so relaxing to come home after a tiring day of hiking and enjoy a beverage or two on the the balcony watching the sun drop over the mountain. Roz was so helpful and quick to answer any questions before we arrived. A 5 star VRBO in our book!!!

Lovely cabin in the woods
We greatly enjoyed our time at Roz's and Mike's place. Roz welcomed us when we arrived, but after that, they allowed us plenty of privacy, though let us know we could contact them at any time if we had questions. The place was spotless when we arrived, and we appreciated the amenities (including the grill, which we used one night). Although the downstairs bedroom and bathroom were on the cool side, the wall heaters worked well and heated everything up quickly. Similarly, the peace and quiet of the forest were wonderful, even with the train coming through at regular intervals (sometimes). All in all, it's a great place, and we'd definitely stay there again. :)

Great home in a central location
If you want to be centrally located between both the East and West side entrances of the park, this home is perfect. We spent a good amount of time in the town Whitefish and did other activities on the west side as well did all of our hiking on the east side of the park. Because we were traveling to both sides, this home was perfect, since it isn't a short drive from end to end. Being centrally located helped with travel time. If you plan on spending equal amount of time on both sides of the park, this secluded home is perfect for you. Roz/Mike were extremely kind and welcoming and made us feel very comfortable during our stay but mostly left us to our own business which was perfect. We were a group of 4 males and we were comfortable space-wise. I'd recommend this home to anyone looking for a comfortable stay emersed in nature.
