Scott and Nancy provided recommendations to our schedule that enhanced our experience.

This was the best place we stayed on our trip out west! The owners were super knowledgeable about the area and Glacier National Park. They served amazing hot breakfast both mornings and even allowed us to walk and explore their property near the river.

A fantastic, cozy property with an outstanding full breakfast!

The lodge is very clean, comfortable and cozy. We had 2 wonderful breakfasts during our stay. Scott and Nancy are friendly and informative about the trails in the Glacier National Park.

My sons & I had an incredible stay in the cabin! My boys loved the cabin bedroom with the slanted ceiling. The games provided were a hit. Beautiful wooded view.

This is a lovely family-run property, located in a quiet area about 10 miles from Columbia Falls. They provided us with maps and bear spray and all sorts of information about the area, and wonderful, home-cooked breakfasts each day. I would really describe this as a bit more of a 'bed and breakfast' than a hotel.

Nancy and Scott who run the place are very welcoming and so helpful with anything needed. A great resource. They provide a great breakfast each morning. It is located in the beautiful mountains about 15 minutes to the West Entrance. It was clean, and had an outdoorsy cabin feel.

Serenity of property. Rising in morning to outstanding home cooked meal by Scott and Nancy. Local knowledge of Glacier Park provided us guidance which allowed us to enjoy our visit to Glacier.

Nancy and her husband were very hospitable and provided a delicious breakfast each morning! Every day we came home to a clean room, small chocolates in our room and they were there for anything we needed (advice, maps, bear spray, etc!). We would absolutely go back and we are thankful for their hospitality!

Quite surprised with the reviews saying the owners friendly. We did not find them that way. Wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re offended by conservative talk radio being broadcast from a garden shed as you walk the grounds. If that doesn’t put you off just aware of what you are booking. The photos and price led us to believe we were booking a cabin with kitchen, as did the photos (of a cabin!) that accompanied the reservation email. It turned out to be a bedroom in the owner’s house. The owner at first blamed hotels.com for the mixup but later changed his story, saying he had emailed us the change - an email we never received.

Fantastic stay at the Smoky Bear Ranch. Cozy setup, great living room with a real fireplace that warms up the whole room. Bed and bathroom are clean and the owners do a bed turn and clean up the bathroom during the day. Excellent service and took care of us.The highlight is the breakfast each morning with juice and coffee, freshly baked/cooked eggs, pastry and fruits. Better than home cooking.Another is they have bear-spray you can borrow. Chance of a bear encounter is low, but this is a need-to-have if you are going on trails.The only snag is the GPS that took us to wrong house/cabin. But the owner was 100% nice and told us that it's the next cabin down the road. Not sure if this will happen to you. Just fyi, Smoky Bear is on the left hand side. If your GPS takes to a cabin on the right, it's the wrong house/cabin.

Excellent experience, would highly recommend staying here!

This place is in a quiet spot about 20 minutes from GNP. Our hosts provided a fabulous breakfast, bear spray for our hikes, advice on the park and a comfortable, clean room.

Fantastic place. Secluded property near Glacier West Entry. The cabins are fully equipped and beautifully design. We loved it!

My wife and I stayed with our two teenage daughters. The room was very large, with plenty of room for us all. The B&B was beautiful, as was the property it sat on. The breakfasts were great.The woman who ran it was nice enough but a little aggressive. Also, it was hard to know how welcome we were as a lesbian couple, in Montana.

Owners are husband/wife combo who excel at making guests comfortable and enjoy their stay. They provide a great breakfast and if you choose to take a picnic lunch at a $12 price you will be glad you did. Friendly place; glad we stayed there.

We especially liked Scott and Nancy. They are so hospital, friendly and helpful. Even before we arrived they sent several helpful emails with important information. When we arrived the room was very nice. Nancy and Scott are both very talented and it was a pleasure to see their talents on display, especially the quits and woodworks. It was very quiet and peaceful; just a joy to be there.

Loved the owners, the fantastic breakfast that was included, and the hummingbird feeder.

Smoky Bear Ranch is the perfect home base for a Glacier trip. Mr & Mrs Collard have added many thoughtful, personal touches to your stay that make it really hard to leave! The bedding is cozy, the water pressure is powerful, and the hearty breakfasts are different every morning. Do yourself a favor and order a paper bag lunch for your hike or drive through Glacier! The location is perfect - 20 minutes to the airport, 15 minutes to the park, and a quiet respite from the hubub of West Glacier. We didn't get to hike the trails on their property during our short stay, but we did enjoy all of the different birds and afternoons on the front porch. As many others mentioned, our hosts provided bear spray, maps, and lots of insight to the surrounding area. 10/10, will stay again :)

Scott and Nancy were wonderful and the breakfast was amazing! They were very helpful in helping find things to do. The room we had was nice and we slept so good!

The hospitality of the owners, the Collards, made the trip! The delicious home cooked breakfast every morning was the best meal of the day. Their willingness to share the “locals” knowledge of Glacier made our trip so much more enjoyable. It was more like staying at a warm, welcoming relative than a cold, sterile hotel. Highly recommend!!
