Our stay was wonderful at the carriage house! As first timers to Glacier National Park this was the perfect middle ground location. The property was better than we could have imagined! The hosts were amazing, very friendly and super responsive on any questions we had. The check it was a breeze with detailed instructions on how to access the place - this was great for us because we arrived at nighttime and things were hard to see!

A good decision to go with this rental as it was strategic for both sides of the park. The place was clean and neat. It was serene as there isn't another house close by. When considering this rental, it is important to do research on your needs or wants so that this place will work as a place to stay while visiting Glacier National Park.

Glacier Carriage House

This was the perfect getaway for our 40th anniversary trip. Equal distance between west and east entrance so we explored both sides. Roz met us upon arrival - property was clean - instructions were easy to get there - just an excellent trip.

Loved this house and property. It was the perfect place to recoup after long days of hiking. The property is shared with the owners but they do a wonderful job at keeping it private. The home was spotless and had all the supplies we needed for the week. Roz was wonderful and met us when we checked in. The home is equal distance from West/East Glacier which was great. We got to watch a black bear stroll through the property one morning while eating breakfast. :) Thank you Roz and Michael for the wonderful stay. I highly recommend!

This carriage house was beautiful well beyond the pictures. It was clean and cozy. The scenery was breathtaking. Everything that was said would be provided was and more. It was easy to communicate with the owners who gave us a welcome hello when we arrived as well as welcome gifts in the house. I would definitely recommend staying at this beautiful place.

Nice house rental

It is a garage converted into a nice living space. There is a bathroom with laundry and a bed room downstairs. The bed a pillows were great to sleep on. Upstairs you have a kitche, another bathroom, a table, and a bunch of couches that you can sit on to watch TV or enjoy the view from large windows. The top does get warmer then the bottom, but the bottom stays nice a cool, so in the summer time it still is pleasant enough to sleep. Wifi is a bit a slow, but that is no big problem. Owners do live on the property, but are very nice and informative (and do not bother you at all).Great location to go between west glacier and east glacier.

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

Highly recommend this cozy haven in the woods!!

Our family absolutely loved our stay in this wonderful carriage house! We were thankful to be in the middle of both the east and west sides of Glacier National Park so we could easily go both places. The space was super clean and very warm and inviting. Roz was always so responsive to my questions - she honestly could not have been more accommodating. One of our all-time favorite vacation rentals for sure!
