    What a perfect spot for our family's first visit to Montana! The location, the size, the cleanliness - everything about it was exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much for helping to make our vacation memorable! We would stay here over and over.

    Beautiful cabin, in serene location, next to a river that is meditative. It's very close to the Park entrance, and park provisions and everything else you may need is nearby. Wonderful spot to relax and use as base of operations.

    We called this lovely cabin our home base! It’s a wonderful place to relax after a long day of exploring the beautiful Glacier area. The stream, mountain views, eagles flying along the river, cool mornings were some of our favorite things. The cabin was comfortable and had all we needed for a comfortable stay.

    We loved everything about our experience. There was helpful and friendly support, a good arrival & departure process, and a terrific view of the river. The porch was fantastic, rain or shine. It's a good idea to have a car with all wheel drive. Check out the Btash Family Rodeo on Thura

    This is a true to form long cabin, situated in hungry horse, which is about halfway between the airport and the West entrance for glacier national. You are 15-20 min from park e trance. It’s not so far out there that it is impossible to get cell signal, or find groceries, but it’s isolated enough that you feel great peace, particularly with the river close by. The property is very well kept, everything worked as advertised. Seemed very new and well maintained. Great Vrbo. We brought an extra air mattress for our second kid to sleep upstairs, which there was enough room for a twin. Honestly, the perfect homebase for sleeping, cooking, and hanging out between days of hiking.Five stars. We will be back.

    Did not appear as big as the pictures showed however the place was very adequate. Thalia did not have adequate lighting for reading since we did not have much tv to look at. But cabin was in perfect location
