This was our favorite stay while visiting the national parks. The house had plenty of room with very good amenities. Beds were cozy and comfortable. It was great to have 2 bathrooms for the family. Of course, the ranch provided very good scenery with some farm animals. Highly recommend.

It’s a decent rental but needs some attention. The smaller bedrooms have very uncomfortable beds and the hall bathroom shower needs a knob to turn the shower on. The property is charming with cows, horses, and alpaca as well as a beautiful view! Very convenient to Glacier NP!

The place was just what we wanted. The hosts were amazing and very responsive. Food and groceries were a little bit of a drive but not bad. It got a little warm in the house but we opened windows and used the fans. It was a quiet stay where we could just breath and be within a reasonable drive of the park. We’d definitely stay again!

The highlight of our trip

The house was amazing so roomy we could definitely relax after hiking and driving all day. So many lovely books—really a library’s worth. We loved having a kitchen to cook some hot meals in. Views from the porch were top notch beautiful. Communication was very responsive the llamas were a definite bonus! We loved our stay

Great Stay!

The house was clean and private. It had beautiful views of the rolling hills all around. It was convenient to Canada/Waterton, Many Glacier and the Going to the Sun Road from the east entrance. However, there is not much directly in the area itself - maybe one restaurant and grocery store that aren't always open. The host was very responsive and available. I appreciate that she left the heater on when we arrived and offered to mail an item I had left behind. Overall, great stay!

Short Stay in Babb

We only stayed two nights at this lovely property but wished we had time to stay much longer. It was only 15 minutes from the St Mary's entrance on the east side of Glacier Park. The property was immaculate with comfortable beds, and the host left clear instructions for the house and responded promptly to texts when we had questions. We especially enjoyed getting to have coffee in the morning on the deck while looking over the gorgeous ranch property. We even got to see one of the resident bears on the last morning, while he walked through to the woods!

Fabulous Location on East Side

This is a gorgeous property with 3 good sized bedrooms with plenty of storage space. Kids enjoyed helping herd the alpacas in at night. Fabulous location with easy access to Many Glaciers, GTSR, and not too far from Two Medicine. Views are beautiful from property. Hosts were very helpful. Only negative is limited restaurants and absurdly expensive groceries on the east side. That said, well worth it.

Amazing views and location!

This property exceeded our expectations! Upon arriving, we were greeted by the property managers, who were very welcoming and friendly. As soon as we walked into this spotless home, we immediately felt comfortable. There was more than enough room for our family of four, with all of the amenities that we needed. The location is only a 30 minute drive to Many Glacier Hotel and a 15 minute drive to the Glacier East entrance in St. Mary. And the views from the home are spectacular!! I highly recommend staying here, and we will definitely stay again during our next trip to Montana!

Great views, comfortable place, Memorable stay

This home is located on a hillside of a large ranch. The views are outstanding. The hosts are EXCELLENT. The house itself is very comfortable and roomy. all the rooms are good sized and the living room, kitchen are relatively large. The deck is great to sit out on and just enjoy the location. No A/C so it can get hot during the day, but cools off well at night. It's somewhat remote - so, if you like being away from the crowds it's great. The downside is groceries, restaurants and such are a bit of a drive. Overall, we loved the place and would certainly recommend it.
