A short distance on a winding, dirt road through the woods will take you to this quiet, secluded destination. This little get-away is nestled in the heart of the woods, yet is only 9.2 miles from West Glacier, Montana - the entrance to Glacier National Park. The Flathead River here in northwest Montana is designated as a “Wild and Scenic River” and includes the North Fork, Middle Fork and South Fork - the names of the three vacation units available in this triplex cabin. With three private units, this is a great option for group travelers wanting to be together and yet still have their own space, or can be utilized singularly and privately. There are two 6” thick walls and two dead-bolting doors separating each unit. With the quiet woods all around, this is a great place to unwind and settle in. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Individually decorated, individually furnished, desk, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/17000000/16110000/16103100/16103072/fd688127.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Evergreen Motel Coram - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Housekeeping 8.8 Excellent 501 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=16103072&PinnedHotelID=16103072&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93210000/93207600/93207541/c9c19d37.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hungry Horse Cabin: Deck, Fire Pit, Near Glacier!

We enjoyed the deck. There is plenty of room for two. The only drawback is the second bedroom is a low loft space with a bed on the floor. So if you live with a snorer and want to use the second bedroom, just a heads up. ##### Deborah Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen R. 5 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great cabin near Glacier NP Our cabin was perfect for me and my son.

After all...it is Montana. Access to Glacier Park is terrific and the Flathead river is only a 6 minute drive from your door step. We thoroughly enjoyed star gazing on the banks and were fortunate enough to catch a spectacular performance of the Aurora Borealis. The property manager was a super guy and very attentive. I'll stay again if the party is small enough or just rent multiple units. Very much enjoyed the stay and it was the perfect location. ##### Keene C.
