Perfect Cabin

I LOVED this property!!! The location was great, near the park entrance and restaurants. It was very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the fire pit out back and the lake. It was exactly what we were looking for.

No frills place near GNP west entrance.

We primarily used this a a place to sleep. Glad it had a heat pump (cooling or heating) in the primary sleeping room. Kids also had fun swimming from the dock, which is located across the street.

Perfect place for visiting Glacier National Park

My family spent our summer vacation at Grandpa's Cabin. We visited Glacier National Park several times conveniently located only a few minutes away. Some days we stayed at the cabin and played on the lake. The private dock was a wonderful spot to lounge, jump into the water, and launch our SUP. We appreciated the fun records and record player and AC. The cabin was very clean, organized, and had everything we needed to have a great vacation. Thank you!

Dock across the street from home

We had a great time and enjoyed AC in the large bedroom. Saw deer in the yard every evening. Very relaxing and fun to but on a Disney vinyl at bedtime. No coffee provided so make sure to bring your own coffee.

Great getaway

This was a great property to stay at for a base to GNP. Even if we hadn’t planned spending a majority of time at GNP, this would have been a great place on the lake. Ryan was great to work with. He made sure he kept us informed of fire restrictions and changes with the reservation system at GNP. He really went above and beyond. Thank you!

Great place for everything except full privacy

We loved this place. The surrounding is tranquil. The lake is beautiful. The kitchen is fully equipped. The only complaint we had is a bit lack of privacy. The large bedroom does NOT have its only direct inside access to the bathroom! Sleepers in it needed to either go through the master bedroom or outside through the porch and the front door, which was rather inconvenient during the nights.

Fall trip

We stayed at grandpa’s cabin for five nights, good location to glacier national park. Quaint and clean cabin. Perfect for the two of us. If staying at the cabin with children or another couple, the second bedroom has three full beds, but would need to walk through the master bedroom to get to anything else in the cabin, such as the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. There is a door if you want to walk outside and come in the front door to avoid walking through the master.

Glacier Cabin

This cabin is in the absolute perfect location to explore Glacier National Park. The dock on Lake 5 is really amazing! Unfortunately, the week we were there the gnats inside the cabin were terrible. We reached out to the property manager and he did respond by email but did not attempt to help with the issue. We ended up purchasing and putting up fly strips on our own. We caught hundreds of gnats with these. This helped some but in the evenings the gnats would still swarm your face. It really impacted our comfort and happiness with the stay.

Great spot in the woods near Glacier with a swimming lake!

Perfect spot, very close to Glacier National Park, maybe a 5 minute drive to the west entrance. Very woodsy and rustic, like a campground, with a beautiful lake with a private dock, perfect for jumping in & swimming. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, etc., and it was great to have a washer & dryer with laundry detergent provided by the host. Ryan, the host, was very responsive, which we really appreciated. There were a ton of gnats/fruit flies inside when we arrived. Ryan did come and help when we reached out to him and that issue improved. The three beds in the one room were perfect for our 3 boys but when we arrived we noticed there were fresh sheets on the bed but not pillowcases (just the decorative ones that match the bedspread). Luckily I found extra pillow cases in the closet and felt better about that. Also the floor mats in the kitchen and bathroom were damp when we arrived, which probably did not help the gnat situation. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location and rustic vibe were great, and the kids LOVED the lake. The fire pit area was nice too but we weren’t able to use it because of fire restrictions. We did sit out at the table and were not bothered by bugs at all, even through dusk. If not for the gnats it would have been absolutely perfect. there is no tv but the internet works well. you need to walk through the main bedroom to get to the other bedroom which has the 3 beds. Could probably use a deeper cleaning (floors, bedspreads). overall great stay!

Fun cabin in the woods

We had a great time in the West side of Glacier. Everyone was clean, except the floors. While the floors looked clean, they left the bottom of my kids feet black, if they were barefoot. The cabin isn't big and not a lot of room for 8 people. But it did have a cozy camping feeling that we thought was fun. My teenagers thought the record player was interesting and loved listening to the different records. My kids loved playing on the private dock in the evenings.

Excellent experience!

We loved our stay at Grandpa’s Cabin! We thought the location and fire pit were awesome. We liked how well the kitchen was set up. One minor issue was how the front screen door didn’t close well (there was a sign saying to shut it all the way but it was kind of a pain). Aside from that, we really enjoyed this location and highly recommend it!
