Entire Rustic House Close to Glacier Park Vacation

Essex town is located between East and West Glacier. It is a good location for exploring both sides of the parkThe house is close to main road and train tracks, the trains don't blow the horn because there is no crossing but you can hear them. IF YOU ARE A LIGHT SLEEPER PLEASE DON'T BOOK. The Great Bear Wilderness is right the back side of the house. Stanton lake hike (in the wilderness)is one of my favorites. The trailhead is 5 minute drive from the house. Stanton creek is a nice spot for picnics too.

There are some games and puzzles and a pool table. There are some hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trail maps available and some activities you can do inside and around the park.

Lovely Cabin Close to Glacier NP
The cabin is clean and attractive. In less than 30 minutes we were at the west side entrance to Glacier NP. The property manager has a large notebook to help you explore the park and many other trails and places to check out. We enjoyed our week.

Beautiful property and cabin. Centralized location to both entrances of Glacier. Train runs super close all evening and throughout the night. Highway traffic noise can also be a bit loud. Fans were provided, so we were able to drown out the noise for the most part. Overall very spacious and clean with a great vibe!

Great Location for Visiting Glacier
We had a fantastic stay at this cabin! There was plenty of room for the two of us and it had everything we needed for the week. We basically did a lot of day hiking in the Natl Park so we would get up early and get home late, but it was so nice to come home to a hot shower, cook a hot meal in the full kitchen and prepare for the next days hike. Then we would watch a movie and then zonk out in the comfortable bed. The train and highway noise were not really a problem. Sure you could hear it but it wasn’t disturbing. Wi-Fi at the cabin worked great, I think it was Starlink. The cabin was nicely appointed with everything we needed and the host was thoughtful and generous and communicated with us to make sure we were happy and comfortable.

Cabin was better than the description. Yes, the traffic can be loud during the day, but very quiet at night. Some trains over night, but we actually enjoyed that. Very well appointed and thought out.

Cabin by the tracks
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin by the train tracks. It was clean, well stocked, had everything we needed. Vara was a wonderful host, attentive to any questions/requests we asked and had a book with lots of local info. We did not mind the trains or the highway nearby, but if you are a light sleeper, it could be a concern. We were always too tired from hiking for it to matter. It is a very long drive to the Many Glacier and St Marys entrances, which is where we went most days. It is a much shorter drive to the West and Two Medicine entrances, dinner at Serranos in East Glacier was an easy commute as well. Beautiful scenery and opportunities to see nearby mountain goats.

Loved the house!
Great location! Cute, clean, really good use of a smaller space. Host is kind enough to leave behind others leave behinds. . . baggies, some spices, ice packs in the freezer, etc. We did the same! The train in the back didn't bother us a bit. Glacier was our destination. We came from Chicago suburb and camped out way there. Perfect "indoor" storage area between garage and home. Was able to keep car carrier, camping gear, etc. in this little space so as not to take up cabin space. The only "negative" is there were some mice droppings. I'm unaffected by this, as this is the great outdoors and I've come to expect things like this. I know the house manager was working on getting to the bottom of it. She was great! Available! answered questions immediately. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great location
My husband and I stayed this last week for our anniversary. The property was the perfect location for exploring around Glacier. While most of the park was closed for the season we enjoyed the location and being off grid for a few days. The property was clean and the host communicated well with us. Definitely recommend for a good in between location for the two entrances to Glacier.
