Nestled within the trees, the view from this home is beautiful. Great location, central, but private. Proximity to Glacier National Park enabled us to visit multiple times, as well quick trips to Kalispell and Whitefish.

Fantastic stay in West Glacier!
We had a fabulous time at this home which is exactly as described. It's incredibly close to the Glacier National Park entrance in West Glacier (basically across the street) which was so convenient for early hikes on the west side of the park. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean and convenient and it was plenty of space for a family of 4 adults. We had a great time and hope to return one day!

So close to Glacier NP entrance
The location of this property is so perfect if you want to visit Glacier NP. But the property itself is so well laid out and comfy! Nice to have a washer and dryer and cooler with ice packs to use. The deck and vaulted ceiling were also amazing! Hope to return to this property someday! Thank you for letting us stay!

Cozy and Comfortable Cabin
Our family of 4 absolutely loved our stay. The home was very clean, well stocked and organized and had everything we could possibly need for a great stay. My kids said they wanted to live there! We made s’mores by the firepit and played Foosball and monopoly after our epic adventures at Glacier NP. If we are ever in West Glacier again, we would love to stay here again. Thank you for everything!

Cozy but not cramped house in the woods. Right across the road from the entrance to Glacier National Park. Very convenient. Very clean. The king bed is in a loft and the full bath is downstairs. Nice gas stove in the sitting room. Would definitely stay here again.

Best Place To Stay in West Glacier
We loved staying here, it’s private, tucked away in the woods but still close to everything. The owners are sweet and answer immediately when you have a question. They also gave us all the information we needed to access Glacier Park. The house has everything you need to cook, to relax and enjoy your time around a fire pit, beds are very comfortable and just a great place to stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us. I highly recommend anyone staying here.

Great experience. The home was well prepared with everything we needed - loved that we could prepare our own meals when we wanted to. We were able to use the snowshoes on our hikes in Glacier. And the place is so close to the west entrance of the park. Thank you!

Awesome, cozy, comfortable
This is our second time staying here and it did not disappoint. All the comforts of home were furnished by Jeff and Kelly. This place is private and secluded. Just a driver and a 9 iron to the entrance of GNP which makes it such a convenient location. We traveled to the East side and found there is nothing comparable. I would highly recommend this property. Plus there is bear spray supplied by the hosts.

This place is absolutely beautiful! Comfortable and packed with amenities! Fully stocked kitchen. Everything was very organized and efficient! The power went out for a bit due to substation issues. We were notified right away and kept up to date on the expected time for return of power. Our stay could not have been more perfect! Thank you Jeff and Kelly for the use of your home!

Best place outside of park
I honestly could not have asked for more. I have stayed at many places, but this topped them all. It is super close to the west gates for Glacier National Park (you could walk). Kelly had EVERYTHING you could ask for. She has a well stocked kitchen with a cabinet full of spices, slow cooker, washer and dryer and most of all the most comfy beds and fabulous water pressure for the shower.❤️❤️ Thank you Kelly and Jeff!!!! I will definitely stay here again, if and when I get back to Glacier NP.

Glacier Park Anniversary Getaway
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while my wife and I visited Glacier Park for our 23rd Anniversary. The home met all of our needs. It was clean, was fully stocked with everything we needed for our adventures in the Park, and best of all was the location literally within walking distance of the West entrance to Glacier. The host was available to answer any questions that we had and even recommended a wonderful steakhouse in Kalispelll for our anniversary dinner. We would definitlely stay in this home again for any future visits we take to Northwestern Montana!

West Glacier House
Wow was the best way to describe the West Glacier House. The location was wonderful to enter the West gate of glacier park. The house was very clean and the pictures did the house justice. It was all the comforts of home only we were on vacation. We wish we could have stayed longer, we recommend this home to anyone. Kim & Drew was very kind to our needs.

West Glacier Primo!
This is our second stay at Glacier Ridge because it is a perfect location and wonderfully provisioned. The hosts provide so much of what you need (bear spray, comfortable beds, cooking supplies, washer/dryer) and what you want (clear communication, fire pit, AC, spices, hiking poles, maps, guides, hospitality!) Aside from staying inside the park, you really can't get much closer to the west entrance, yet you still feel secluded from the mass of visitors to the park. Highly recommend and I imagine will be looking to come back soon as Glacier Ridge is beginning to feel like a home away from home!

Nice forest setting near the Park
The cabin was as described... Well-maintained well-equipped and everything you need was there, from spices to BBQ. Very comfy beds and nice forest setting. Perfectly positioned for access to the park. The owners had everything laid out for us and we're extremely responsive to questions, etc. Unfortunately, the location was also very near the railroad and we found the noise and frequency of the trains (especially at night) to be disruptive of the otherwise peaceful setting.

Fantastic Place with Great Amenities
This is one of best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. Location is great for spending time in GNP. Owners are most communicative I have ever seen. House is stocked with just about everything you need for visiting the park including ice chests, hiking poles, bear spray, maps etc. Lots of books for planning your trip in the house plus games etc. Kitchen is well stocked including spices and basics like flour and vegetable spray. Worked out great for our family of four adults. If you go, check out the Glacier Highland restaurant. Its a short walk down the hill and really good (but pricey). Not what you would expect in a small tourist area.
