Grandma’s Cabin, West Glacier riverfront kid/pet friendly, 1 mile from Glacier!

This one-in-a-million location has now become available for rental. Homesteaded in 1914, this peaceful rustic log home sits on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. Gorgeous views of the west side of Glacier National Park, 30 seconds away, if you're a good swimmer! Just up river is Glacier View Golf Course. It is common to see wildlife pass through the property as they cross into Glacier National Park. This 1700sf log home provides cool temperatures in the summer, warm in the winter. Large picture windows surround the house to take in all the beauty. This location is so quiet, at night, you can hear the rocks being rolled down the river by the current. Secluded, but not remote- one mile from the Park entrance.

Guests have repeatedly said that photos do not do justice to the view. The majesty of the surrounding mountains puts into perspective just how small we truly are. It has also been said that getting in and out of the property is much easier than waiting in line to enter rentals within the park.

This is one of the few locations to rent in the winter. The surrounding mountains block out the wind, while delivering lots of snow. A great place to cozy up after a nice day cross country skiing.

While scheduling your vacation to Glacier National Park, be sure to check their website about reservations required to access Going ToThe Sun Road.

This was by far one of the best bookings we've ever had with VRBO. Although Glacier Park itself is pretty crowded in August, we almost felt like we didn't need to leave the house property to enjoy our vacation. The house was phenomenally well equipped for cooking at home, even items such as pancake mix, whereas at some previous rentals we couldn't even find salt and pepper. The owners checked in with us regularly to see if everything was going well. ( They live across the street.) Considering that we had a four month old, a four year-old and four adults, it was very well suited to all ages. There were toys for the kids, which kept them thrilled, I had bought a kayak which we were able to put in a ways down the road and kayak right to the property, and the fire pit made the four year-old's first s'mores a real event! By the end of the week, people were already trying to make plans to come back. We also had a dog who we could not get into the car at the end of our stay as she was so happy on the property!

RELAXING

This may top all other stays. It had the best views, we saw bear, deer, grouse, eagles, and so much more, all from the yard of the cabin. The overlook of the river in the back and the sound of the water was as peaceful as you will ever find. The cabin's rustic charm made us feel like we were visiting the past, while enjoying the present amenities. This is the place to go if you're looking for some peaceful/relaxing time. The cabin is located less than 5 minutes to the entrance of Glacier National Park on the "Going to the Sun" road. We had the pleasure of meeting one of the managers, " Sue". She was extremely nice and very informative of things to do and places to visit in the area. GREAT PLACE!!!!!! Not enough words to describe the entire experience.

The Best!

This was absolutely the best stay we've ever experienced. The hosts love this place and it shows. Great location right near Glacier Park entrance in West Glacier. But the view from this cabin was beyond our dreams. We traveled with a dog and an elderly (104 y/o) aunt who uses a wheelchair. They both loved this spot too. Susan was very helpful, friendly and informative. It was very expensive-beyond our budget, really. But we do not regret the splurge to stay here. It was the highlight spot of our trip. Thanks for sharing this special place, Susan and Matt.

I've never loved a cabin so much!!

My family and I stayed at Grandma's cabin for about a week and absolutely loved everything about it. It's a spacious cabin, roomier than the pictures let on, very comfortable, and well maintained. We loved the decor and the personal touches -- see the recipe for cornbread on the inside of the big cabinet! And the cabin was immaculate -- cleaning was outstanding - both the cabin and the grounds. All you can eat huckleberries (if you're there at the right time) since the cabin is surrounded by huckleberry bushes. Full kitchen, towels, grill, board games, tv, wash machine and dryer + more. Loved it! Location was great, remote enough to feel isolated without actually being too isolated. Within 3 minute driver to Glacier Park West entrance. View from the cabin is stunning although actually going down to the water is a bit of a challenge. Owners were absolutely fantastic and were a wealth of knowledge about the cabin's history. In fact, the history of the cabin is absolutely fascinating and the opportunity to stay in a cabin that had seen so much was really special. In sum, this is a wonderful place to stay: modernized but still with a lot of character, close to Glacier, and charming in and of itself. Would come back and would not hesitate to recommend to others.

This place is special!

My family of 6 have been fortunate to stay some amazing places. Both coasts and several national parks included. Of all of our trips this place was truly special. The location and view are impossible to do justice by describing them here. My 4 girls loved everything about the house but the ability to walk down the hill and play in the river was their favorite. If you like to fish this place can’t be beat! My wife and I started discussing a return trip here before our stay was over. I have never stayed anywhere that was so well stocked. Everything from bug spray to stuff for s’mores was there! Matt and Sue were the most incredible hosts and even took the time to show the girls where to find the huckleberries. We arrived fairly late the first day, but with it being light until 10:30 this time of year I decided I was going to have a campfire and just enjoy the incredible view. They had gone as far as building a teepee of kindling and paper so all I had to do was light a match! First class attention to detail! Not only is the location incredibly beautiful, but also convenient. You are 2 minutes from the all of the shops/food/gas in west glacier and the entrance to the park. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you so much for sharing your special home with us Matt and Sue!!!

I thought it was going to be and look much older, wrong, it has it all, very comfortable with all the amenities needed, plus he has an adorable wife that we had the most contact with and she told the loveliest story of the home and the two large picture windows that look out over the river with mountains rising at the river's edge, and thanks Sue for your cordiality. If I ever go back to that park, I would love to stay in this home.

Worth it!!

I was hesitant to spend more than my original budget but it’s 100% worth it for the location and amenities. Matt and his wife were always responding to my questions immediately. They even took the time to send me a long message with all the best places to visit. The cabin is old fashioned but has anything you could need and more. It’s extremely comfortable and really is like staying with your grandma or your favorite relative. The location really is the best for two reasons. First the proximity to the park is perfect. No driving when you are tired from hiking and after driving thru the park all day. Second is the River!!! We spent almost as much time playing in and watching the River as we did in the park. My kids loved the River. And this was the only place we actually saw any wildlife. We didn’t see a single animal on any hike, but saw several deer, a black ear and bald Eagle all at the cabin. Overall I can’t say enough great things about this place. Highly recommend it.

They hosts provided everything we needed paper towels, garbage bags, soaps, towels, laundry soap, and even the makings for smores, and games for my kids to play. They came by the house and told us where to find huckleberries, sarvis berries were around the property. They also told us some of the can't miss places to check out in the park. Whenever we make another visit to Glacier National Park we will be planning on staying here. Thank you Sue and Matt for the great time.

Grandma's Cabin at Glacier National Park 2022

We LOVED "Grandma's Cabin"! Sue and Matt are wonderful hosts! This was a perfect location for us! It is very near the west gate to Glacier National Park... The backyard of the cabin literally backs up to the park! your view is looking into the park. We were able to (using the reservation system online for park passes and tickets) drive through the park and the "going to the sun road".. Over to St. Marys, on to Many Glacier road where the Many Glacier Hotel is... such a perfect beautiful setting! We drove on up to Swift Current Hotel where we had lunch and on our way back out Many Glacier Road we saw a bear about 20 yards off the road in the brush. Came back to West Glacier outside the park... driving through East Glacier and seeing Two Medicine Lake.We have seen Mountain Goats, Bears, Mule Deer, Ground Squirrels, chipmunks and black squirrels... You can listen to the river as it runs behind the cabin. We walked some easy trails, Trail to the cedars is a beautiful short walk on a boardwalk through the cedars. We drove up to the North Fork Road Entrance, after getting up the day before, before 8am to sign on online to try for one of the 70 passes that become available, 24 hours before the day you want to go... we tried 2 days in a row for this, and We got one!!! The 70 tickets for North Fork entrance, and the 550 tickets for the Going to the Sun Road, were sold out by 8:05am!!! Polebridge Mercantile for AHMAZING pastries!! Huckleberry everything everywhere you look! Grandma's Cabin is absolutely perfect, in a perfect location with wonderful hosts... there is a bed and full bath on the main floor and 2 bedrooms that share a second bath on the second story. We cant say enough good about this place! We will definitely be back again!

Grandma’s Cabin is a special place. It was authentic, comfortable, and very clean. The owners thought of every little thing we could possibly want to make our stay easy and fun.
