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.

My wife and I loved staying at this cabin. It has great access to multiple parts of GNP. The train didn’t bother us at all and the host was always very responsive. Definitely would stay here again.

The accommodations were as presented. The location granted quick access to Glacier. The Kitchen was fully supplied with utensils and equipment. The bathroom clean, everything functioned as it should. The bed was very comfortable. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable.

Perfect stay for two people. Cabin is clean and perfectly appointed.

Had a great time. Property was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. I find trains rather soothing, but the car traffic was loud during the day…quiet at night tho.

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.

Nice roomy cabin. We used it for visiting East Glacier.

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.

This property provided a great experience. The host was very helpful during the check in process. The neighbors that I spoke to were very helpful and knowledgable. The home was very cozy and welcoming. Once again, it was a great experiemce and I would definitely stay here again!!!

This was the perfect getaway spot for a few days. Even with all the snow, a lovely time was had reading, watching movies, and doing puzzles. Clean, cozy, and very well-stocked.

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.

Even though it was listed

It was nice. My main concern was the bed. it was very bad. felt as if I was sleeping in a recliner chair.

Beautiful property, felt like home. Hostess was very attentive. Fabulous location

The place was in a very good location, just a few miles from the West Entrance. It was also towards (but still not close) to the East Entrance. The place was very clean and had a full kitchen. As others noted, it is right along a constantly used train line. There aren't horns but you definitely hear it go by. After the first night (and a lot of hiking), it never woke me up.

Perfect place to stay between east and west Glacier. The kitchen is wonderful, and big with lots of counter space. We felt comfortable and safe in the home. There were two hummingbirds that frequented the feeder outside. The train does roll by frequently, but after a time we became used to the noise. My husband lost his glasses at Glacier and our host was very helpful in making sure they got to the house. There was no air conditioning but large fans were provided to keep us cool. The temperature of the shower was hard to figure out how to adjust. Overall though it was a fantastic stay!

This was a great place to stay for Glacier National Park. The cabin is very clean and had plenty of space for two people. The WiFi had great connection. All the amenities you need are there. My boyfriend is a light sleeper and had no issues with the train.

My boyfriend and I stayed here while we visited Glacier National Park, and it was perfect for us. We didn’t spend any time at the cabin during the day, just evenings/overnights when we got back from the park. Has everything you need to cook meals at the cabin…grill, oven, stove, cookware, etc. Good location between the East entrance and West entrance of the park and a super easy drive to get to the West entrance. Varv sent me information about our stay a month before we left and checked in with me once we arrived to see if we needed anything. Great host! The cabin is exactly as advertised.

My husband and I loved staying in this cabin for our week long vacation to Glacier National Park! It’s is located almost equal distance between the East and West Glacier park entrances. The host was great and super helpful and we loved the train that ran right behind the house!

We loved the cabin! Communication was excellent and timely; she was even able to assist with wifi-issues and supply us with extra towels for our week long stay. We would definitely stay in this cute, little cabin again!

Very warm and cozy. Snowed all day first day but we needed the chill time so it was perfect. Remember to write down address and door code, I failed to do that and with no cell signal in that area had to drive a ways to get cell service so I could access vrbo app, totally my fault! There is wifi at the cabin so no worries after that. Your right in between west and east glacier which is very convenient. The wood burning stove and pool table was a nice surprise! Lots of DVDs and games for stay in evenings! Perfect end to our 40th anniversary trip! Var was so patient and informative Thanks!

Varvara went above and beyond for us during our stay. We had some car trouble and werent able to drive. She let us use her phone and even brought us milk and a phone charger! She is a wonderful hostess and i highly recommend this property!

The Rustic House in Essex was a special and fantastic place for my girlfriend and I to enjoy for our anniversary. Varv went above and beyond in providing a positive experience for us. The place was beautifully located between east and west glacier providing a fantastic place to enjoy remote Montana mountains and wilderness. I highly recommend staying here.

Trains are close but we didn’t notice them after a while - fireplace with wood is a nice amenity. A pool table has been added since the pictures. Good access to East and West Glacier. Was very clean when we checked in and there were plenty of spices and even some staples were available. BBQ worked great. Host was responsive to all our questions and even brought us extra propane when we were concerned about possibly running out (we didn’t). We would definitely stay there again.

Cute little cabin. If you don't like the sound of trains or a busy highway, not the place for you as this cabin is right between a busy railroad track and Hwy 2. We didn't mind, but both are very close to the cabin. Cabin is very close to Glacier National Park. Only real minor complaint is that the cabin is very dark inside, even with all of the lights on. Otherwise, a great experience!

Check in and property were great. Place was clean and well stocked kitchen. My son loved playing pool

Great cabin. Had everything g we needed

great god location

Amazing

We loved our stay here!! Overall very clean and actually more spacious than we expected. It has everything you could need in the kitchen and bathroom, then a lot of fun stuff like movies/board games, a fire pit, a grill, and a pool table. It’s off of the same road at Glacier National Park so it is super convenient too. The train in the back just adds to the rural western charm - if you eat at the Issac Walton Inn down the road you can actually learn a lot about the train’s history. Overall, this is the perfect home base for a trip to Glacier or to just hang out and relax in the woods.

It was a really relaxed beautiful location and home. Comfortable and great base came for exploration. As previously noted by others this is right on the tracks. I am pretty adaptable and it was fine but my partner is a lighter sleeper and wore earplugs. Everything was well stocked including bottled water.

It was so bad that we paid for two nights, but left after one. Trains ran all night behind the house and the highway was a few feet from the front door. There were several electrical issues that would not meet code like exposed connections not in boxes wrapped in electrical tape, open junction boxes, hanging connections. Bathroom lights were not secure-felt like they were going to fall off when you turned them on or off. We had to wipe everything down when we arrived-crumbs on garbage can lids, much dust & particles on tables and counters, greasy stove controls. Noisy, unleveled bed with outer covering that probably doesn’t get washed between guests. Could only find one dish towel that wasn’t stained. Drinking glasses stuck to the cabinet liner. We did enjoy a movie, but there was no remote for the DVD player. The kitchen was well-stocked and there was local information available. A gallon of bottled water was provided. With fees, the price was just not worth it. With the east side of the park being closed this year, this property was also too far away from everything except the goat lick, where we never saw any goats (not the property owner’s fault!) Whitefish Hampton Inn is much nicer, cheaper, and has free breakfast and a 24 hour (for adults) pool.
