Highly recommend staying here. The property was spotless and the location is perfect. Enough seclusion to be relaxing but not far from towns and, of course, Glacier.
This “Lifes A Bear” retreat was as beautiful and relaxing as the pictures show. The peaceful forest along with the relaxing hot tub was the perfect setting to unwind after enjoying the many attractions in close proximity of the property. Many thanks to the host and hostess for making this vacation one of our best ever!

Everything was great. Cabin was clean. Hot tub was nice. Wished we would have been a little more remote. Did not like the view with house directly behind us.
This wonderful cabin has everything needed for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. We stayed two nights on our way to Yellowstone and wished we had booked it for longer. The hosts even left cheesecake and wine chilling in the fridge to help us celebrate our 40th anniversary! Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us!
We just got married and picked this little cabin for our getaway! It was absolutely perfect! I cannot think of a single complaint! They even put sparkling cider and cheesecake in the fridge for us when i told them we had just been married! The hot tub was divine, the fire pit was perfect, everything was easy to find and they even had little umbrellas for 2 by the door (which we immediately needdd the first day we stayed!) Everything was thought of and provided and we couldnt have picked a better cabin for 2!
This house was so comfortable and quiet. The owners checked in with us via email to make sure we had everything we needed. Pete and Laurie thought of everything you might need and want. The stars, campfire and BBQing were wonderful. Thank you for making our vacation so special.
Terrific host.
Had the "fire" lit upon arrival and wine at the ready.
Jacuzzi was a nice touch in the cool evening. Pete even offered an earlier check-in. Yep, I would come back.
Thanks, Pete!
The place was beautiful. Pete and Laurie thought of everything. It was like being at home. very comfortable and cozy. We BBQ and ate outsite watching the stars. Also had a campfire. Enjoyed Glacier National Park. We even had the luck of extending our stay by one day.
thank you again
This lovely cabin was exactly as described and went above and beyond in accommodations. Host communicated extremely well but was not bothersome with communication. Gave clear directions for arriving to the property and what to expect. The cabin was clean and had every amenity you could need, it even had a small fan for my nighttime white noise. It was in a nice quiet wooded neighborhood with the host’s home behind. It was perfectly laid out where you didn’t see or notice anyone else. The hot tub was an amazing extra feature, as was the washer and dryer! It didn’t feel far from Kalispell or Glacier and was easy to get around for sightseeing. Would recommend this charming cabin to everyone!
A beautiful and well equipped cabin The owners responded quickly to any questions when they found out the trip was celebrating our anniversary.they left a nice surprise for us when we arrived
Wonderful location and so convenient. Everything was just as described. We will return again!

Super clean little cabin that had everything we could ask for. Our host had left a bottle of wine and a nice note knowing it was our anniversary. Couldn’t have had a better stay!
We greatly enjoyed our time staying at the cabin. If visiting Glacier NP or skiing at Whitefish resort, it is a great place to stay! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and very homey.
Loved it!
Beautiful quiet inviting cabin. Loved seeing the wildlife all around us.Great location, with everything we needed for our stay. Owners thought of everything vacationer’s might want or need. Highly recommended.
7 night stay, didn't want to leave. Best rental we've stayed at--clean, well supplied, lovely decor. Loved mountains, trees, Flathead Lake, wildlife, nearby Bison Range.
