Very comfortable and nicely appointed cabin in the woods. Bed was very comfy! Furniture was great. Stayed 3 nights and cooked all meals. Kitchen and grill were great! Close enough to Glacier. Only two wall heaters. Took a little to get used to. ##### Jason A. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Wenda 29 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The Pros: Good location situated half way between West and East side of the park but there is still one-half hour drive to either side so factor that in to daily plan. It would be a good idea to take a portable heater and lamp as it is an older cabin and the lighting is a challenge. The bathroom was cold. However, the housekeeper was very nice and prompt and brought both items to us. ##### Wenda Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin F. 17 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Little Gem! Let me first start by saying my wife and I have rented well over 50 properties from VRBO in the last 20 years. We always look for little gems off the beaten path to enhance the overall experience of the location. This one was no exception. Varvara Is a wonderful host and the property is beautiful. The cabin is well appointed with everything you need from firewood to utensils and everything in between. The cabin is beautifully decorated and is super cozy. That being said the only reason I gave a four star is because what is not disclosed is the fact that the cabin is about 40 feet from HWY 2, the main artery between the glaciers, and for my own personal taste it was hard to sit outside and enjoy the millions of stars in the BIG Montana sky when you hear traffic flying by at 70 miles an hour. Would I stay here again? YES! The location is perfect for exploring the area and it is truly a Little Gem. ##### Kevin F.
