Nice cabin to stay at visiting East Glacier National Park. Close to Babb and Canadian border to visit Waterton National Park. Place was clean and quiet with wildlife(bear cub) visiting in the evening. Would have been nice if thr road to the cabin was in better condition but understand this was off the beaten path. Overall nice stay and would recommend if you are staying on the east side of the park.

Great private location close to Many Glacier and St. Mary's entrances into Glacier NP. The home has everything you need with the added bonus of a great view of Duck Lake/mountains. The sunsets each night were beautiful. Our teenage kids even went for quick swims after long hiking days. The beds were very comfortable! Kitchen had all the necessary items (including spices). We visited Many Glacier Hotel after a hike for a drink (busy, crowded, loud) and were even more grateful for our private, quiet home! Hosts were super helpful and easy to communicate with.

We really enjoyed our time here! The setting was beautiful, the sunsets were amazing! The house was clean when we arrived and we really appreciated the access to the lake. The kitchen was very well stocked. I'm so glad they provided bear spray! A couple of things to remember: - GPS will not get you there make sure you follow the directions the host gives you.- The roads leading up to the house our gravel. I would recommend having a SUV to traverse the potholes in rough roads.- There is one central free standing a/c unit in the main living room. Being from the South, we're used to central air throughout, but we managed to keep is cool in the evenings running it and opening windows in the rooms. We really had a lovely time here with our family! I wish we had had some kayaks or canoes for the lake!

There is not a lot of inventory in the area, so with that caveat, this was a perfectly fine option for our group of one toddler, two couples, and one single adult. A few things to know in advance: there is no cell signal onsite, so make sure you have all the details for your stay saved on your phone before arriving. In addition to the door code listed in the app, you’ll need a separate gate code that is included in the welcome email but not in the app. The house itself is fine: fairly clean, with a nice grill setup and a great view. However, there is no laundry, none of the interior doors have locks—including the bathroom, since they are all sliding barn doors—and the kitchen is not especially well-stocked with basics like plastic wrap, foil, or baggies if you are planning to prep food for the mountains. We also asked whether an air purifier could be purchased for the house because there is no central or filtered air during fire season. That may have been an unreasonable request, but it was declined. Overall, it felt like a few relatively small investments in the property could make a noticeable difference. That said, everyone was comfortable, the house met our needs, and the host was responsive.

Glacier national Park, July 2025 30th anniversary trip

My wife and I come along with two other couples, stayed in this home on duck lake. What a beautiful location! It was really quiet and peaceful. The location is perfect for trips to many glacier and to the east side of the park. Travis was very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions I had.

Lovely vacation rental

My husband, sister and daughter absolutely loved our 3 night stay at this cabin near Glacier. We hiked all day and returned in the evening to make dinner in a well stocked kitchen with spices, condiments and more. The beds were super comfy and the living area was big with room to stretch and roll out muscles to prep for more hiking.

Great house near Many Glacier entrance to Glacier Park

Relatively new and well maintained house overlooking Duck Lake, a few minutes from the access road leading to the Many Glacier entrance of Glacier Park. Ideal for couples or small families. House is fully equipped with all the comforts of home. We had a wonderful stay.

Ideal base for our GNP Adventures!

What a wonderful place! My sister and I visited with our dad, and the Red Fox Retreat was perfect for our stay. We loved the convenient access to Glacier National Park, where we went on daily hikes, and enjoyed several visits to Two Sisters Cafe just down the street. We also took a quick day trip to Waterton, which was stunning and unique. Returning to the Red Fox Retreat each night was such a warm and cozy experience. We’ll definitely come back if we’re ever in the area again!

Pros and Cons

Our family of 5 picked Red Fox Retreat as our east side home base when visiting GNP. Pros: Travis was very friendly and quick to communicate, the property has great views, and the bedrooms are comfy. Cons: It was the least clean property we have stayed at—very dirty grill, fly tape covered in flies, insect and critter traps everywhere (better than critters but still), kitchen utensils broken or melted, half eaten food in the cupboard and fridge, etc. It’s also located on a stretch of very rocky dirt road, so definitely drive with care. Overall, this is a fine spot for easy access to GNP and Waterton, but adjust your expectations accordingly.

This was one of a very few two bedroom rentals left when we booked it. There were 2 positive things about this place. It had great Starlink wifi and the beds were comfortable. The rest of the house is in need of a lot of updating, maintenance and stocking of necessary items. There is one bathroom with NO LOCK on the door!! Not all bedroom windows had covering. We were supplied with ONE dish towel and there is no dishwasher OR washer/dryer to launder this one towel. We knew there was no dishwasher but ONE TOWEL?We had to use extra bath towels to dry dishes. The manual left with the house said there would be a dish cloth supplied but there was not. We had a grungy sponge. The kitchen supplies were abysmal. See the pictures below for the amount of dishes we had. Every day when we would return from hiking, there were at least 20 flies all over the house. We could not figure out where they were getting in. All windows were closed and locked yet we were faced with killing flies for half an hour before we could make dinner and relax. Some of the decor and furniture were terrible. There's this huge great room with decent leather furniture we all could sit in but the only tv was in this small room with a smelly couch. The road to get to this place is gravel and full of potholes. It's like off-roading each time you leave. Only stay here if there are no other options in the East Glacier area.

House was clean, entrance to the location required offline directions but dropping a pin helped once we got there for return trips. Views and proximity to glacier national Park were nice.The kitchen could use a few more utensils for cooking like silicon spatulas.The main issue was that it advertised A/C but it was only a standing one in the dining room that struggled to cool that just that one room in the afternoon. Open windows helped once it cooled off.

Beautiful house that was great for my family! The house was clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, living spaces were spacious, and deck was beautiful with nice grill & views. Once we found the house, we were really happy and comfortable there. Host was very responsive, even willing to promptly cancel a night when our trip plans changed and allowed an early check-in. Thank you!Finding the house was the tough part. We were on a long trip to Montana and didn't have the cell service to load all the specific directions. I thought the GPS address and lockbox code would be sufficient to get us there, and then we could connect to the Wifi and load anything else we needed. Future guests, learn from our mistake - the GPS does not take you to the house - it's in fact quite a bit farther down the road through a green gate. We drove back to St Mary to find Wifi, message the host, and load all instructions. Once we had the instructions, we were able to find it without a problem. But unfortunately the extended time searching down the very rough, bumpy road in our small car created a lot of worry and delay. I would recommend making sure all guests know not to follow the GPS and to load/screenshot the specific directions before heading out there.
