Great location. Extra space was nice. Ability to do laundry in the middle of a road trip was helpful. Utilized kitchen and foosball table. Appreciated the helpful tips in the hosts' welcome book. Our family of 4 had a great time!

This cozy and well-equipped cabin made a perfect launching point for our five days in Glacier National Park. Several excellent restaurants and convenience stores are walking distance away. We also enjoyed walking to the nearby river. We were greeted by a mule deer within an hour of arrival, and we did see the local bear one night. The beds and pillows were comfy, lounge space were good for our tired legs after all-day hiking.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this rental. Great proximity to the Park with all the comforts of home. I cooked nearly every meal here, and having a washer & dryer was very convenient. I would stay here again.

Me and my wife stayed here. Location is easy access to Glacier NP West. Clean, well equipped cabin. Nothing fancy, but very charming. Trains do come by often and echo through the mountains, but other than that quiet and peaceful.

The location of the house is absolutely incredible. Visiting Glacier involves a lot of driving, so it was so nice to be 3 minutes away from the front gate and pop in and out of the park when we wanted to shower or grab some food. Would definitely stay again!

INCREDIBLE location for GNP! Perfect! Communication with owners was VG as well. House would've been very comfortable if the gas fireplace had been working. Not the owners' fault; they advised us, but we hit cold weather and it took a LONG time to get the chill out of the air in the house. Would've liked to have seen the deck itself and the deck furniture cleaned up prior to our stay as well. But we give this stay a 5-star rating because of LOCATION! Would recommend this stay to anyone! We would stay here again

Nestled within the trees, the view from this home is beautiful. Great location, central, but private. Proximity to Glacier National Park enabled us to visit multiple times, as well quick trips to Kalispell and Whitefish.

Cozy but not cramped house in the woods. Right across the road from the entrance to Glacier National Park. Very convenient. Very clean. The king bed is in a loft and the full bath is downstairs. Nice gas stove in the sitting room. Would definitely stay here again.

This is our second time staying here and it did not disappoint. All the comforts of home were furnished by Jeff and Kelly. This place is private and secluded. Just a driver and a 9 iron to the entrance of GNP which makes it such a convenient location. We traveled to the East side and found there is nothing comparable. I would highly recommend this property. Plus there is bear spray supplied by the hosts.

The location of this property is so perfect if you want to visit Glacier NP. But the property itself is so well laid out and comfy! Nice to have a washer and dryer and cooler with ice packs to use. The deck and vaulted ceiling were also amazing! Hope to return to this property someday! Thank you for letting us stay!

I honestly could not have asked for more. I have stayed at many places, but this topped them all. It is super close to the west gates for Glacier National Park (you could walk). Kelly had EVERYTHING you could ask for. She has a well stocked kitchen with a cabinet full of spices, slow cooker, washer and dryer and most of all the most comfy beds and fabulous water pressure for the shower.❤️❤️
Thank you Kelly and Jeff!!!! I will definitely stay here again, if and when I get back to Glacier NP.

This place is absolutely beautiful! Comfortable and packed with amenities! Fully stocked kitchen. Everything was very organized and efficient! The power went out for a bit due to substation issues. We were notified right away and kept up to date on the expected time for return of power. Our stay could not have been more perfect! Thank you Jeff and Kelly for the use of your home!

This is one of best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. Location is great for spending time in GNP. Owners are most communicative I have ever seen. House is stocked with just about everything you need for visiting the park including ice chests, hiking poles, bear spray, maps etc. Lots of books for planning your trip in the house plus games etc. Kitchen is well stocked including spices and basics like flour and vegetable spray. Worked out great for our family of four adults. If you go, check out the Glacier Highland restaurant. Its a short walk down the hill and really good (but pricey). Not what you would expect in a small tourist area.

This is our second stay at Glacier Ridge because it is a perfect location and wonderfully provisioned. The hosts provide so much of what you need (bear spray, comfortable beds, cooking supplies, washer/dryer) and what you want (clear communication, fire pit, AC, spices, hiking poles, maps, guides, hospitality!) Aside from staying inside the park, you really can't get much closer to the west entrance, yet you still feel secluded from the mass of visitors to the park. Highly recommend and I imagine will be looking to come back soon as Glacier Ridge is beginning to feel like a home away from home!

We enjoyed our Glacier National Park trip very much. This location was very convenient to access the park. The hosts were very helpful in providing pre-trip information.

We had a fabulous time at this home which is exactly as described. It's incredibly close to the Glacier National Park entrance in West Glacier (basically across the street) which was so convenient for early hikes on the west side of the park. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean and convenient and it was plenty of space for a family of 4 adults. We had a great time and hope to return one day!

Our family of 4 absolutely loved our stay. The home was very clean, well stocked and organized and had everything we could possibly need for a great stay. My kids said they wanted to live there! We made s’mores by the firepit and played Foosball and monopoly after our epic adventures at Glacier NP. If we are ever in West Glacier again, we would love to stay here again. Thank you for everything!

We loved staying here, it’s private, tucked away in the woods but still close to everything. The owners are sweet and answer immediately when you have a question. They also gave us all the information we needed to access Glacier Park. The house has everything you need to cook, to relax and enjoy your time around a fire pit, beds are very comfortable and just a great place to stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us. I highly recommend anyone staying here.

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while my wife and I visited Glacier Park for our 23rd Anniversary. The home met all of our needs. It was clean, was fully stocked with everything we needed for our adventures in the Park, and best of all was the location literally within walking distance of the West entrance to Glacier. The host was available to answer any questions that we had and even recommended a wonderful steakhouse in Kalispelll for our anniversary dinner. We would definitlely stay in this home again for any future visits we take to Northwestern Montana!

This is a very nice place at a great location. The hosts are exceptionally well organized and did a great job of getting us directions, access codes etc. in advance of arrival. The kitchen is well stocked and there are resources include hiking poles, bear spray, a library of maps and guidebooks etc. This was a perfect base to spend a few days exploring Glacier.

We had a great week visiting Glacier National Park and the cities on the west side of the park. Our host provided us with a lot of information about the area that helped make our trip better. Tips about park notifications, groceries, restaurants and trip preparation were provided in advance. The property is clean and well-equipped. The location near the west entrance allowed us to quickly enter the park early in the mornings. The rental, check-in and stay went very smoothly. Excellent place to stay for visiting Glacier and Northwest Montana.

Beautiful, spacious, sunny, comfortable cabin with so many amenities! We immediately felt at home here and appreciate all the extra special touches and proximity to the park west gate. This was our second stay at this home and hope there will be many more to come.

We loved the private location felt like being in middle forest but close to the Park. I like to cook so this home had everything needed to do that successfully! Thanks for providing my request needs for grill.

This was a great property! Had everything you can think of and more. Very clean and comfortable and a perfect location to enter the West Glacier entrance. Literally a minute to the gate but you feel quiet and secluded when arriving back. Most of our days were spent in the park or exploring nearby areas so our evenings were short but it was so nice to feel like we arrived at “home” at the end of the day. Will absolutely recommend this property to anyone traveling to Glacier.
The bear spray and hiking sticks were a very welcomed amenity.
Our graduation gift to our girls finally happened after 2 years on hold so this time with them has been absolutely wonderful!
Thanks Again for great accommodations!
Hope you will enjoy our little treat from Vermont 🍁
