This one-in-a-million location has now become available for rental. Homesteaded in 1914, this peaceful rustic log home sits on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. Gorgeous views of the west side of Glacier National Park, 30 seconds away, if you're a good swimmer! Just up river is Glacier View Golf Course. It is common to see wildlife pass through the property as they cross into Glacier National Park. This 1700sf log home provides cool temperatures in the summer, warm in the winter. Large picture windows surround the house to take in all the beauty. This location is so quiet, at night, you can hear the rocks being rolled down the river by the current. Secluded, but not remote- one mile from the Park entrance.

Guests have repeatedly said that photos do not do justice to the view. The majesty of the surrounding mountains puts into perspective just how small we truly are. It has also been said that getting in and out of the property is much easier than waiting in line to enter rentals within the park.

This is one of the few locations to rent in the winter. The surrounding mountains block out the wind, while delivering lots of snow. A great place to cozy up after a nice day cross country skiing.

While scheduling your vacation to Glacier National Park, be sure to check their website about reservations required to access Going ToThe Sun Road.

    This was by far one of the best bookings we've ever had with VRBO. Although Glacier Park itself is pretty crowded in August, we almost felt like we didn't need to leave the house property to enjoy our vacation. The house was phenomenally well equipped for cooking at home, even items such as pancake mix, whereas at some previous rentals we couldn't even find salt and pepper. The owners checked in with us regularly to see if everything was going well. ( They live across the street.) Considering that we had a four month old, a four year-old and four adults, it was very well suited to all ages. There were toys for the kids, which kept them thrilled, I had bought a kayak which we were able to put in a ways down the road and kayak right to the property, and the fire pit made the four year-old's first s'mores a real event! By the end of the week, people were already trying to make plans to come back. We also had a dog who we could not get into the car at the end of our stay as she was so happy on the property!

    This is an awesome place to relax in West Glacier! The cabin had everything we needed and more. It was very cozy and comfortable. Even a campfire was made and ready for us to enjoy. It was very clean and the views were beautiful. Matt and Sue were great hosts!!!!! Thank you for sharing your grandmother’s home.

    Our family had a wonderful stay at Grandmas Cabin. They literally had everything we needed including bear spray! The view from the cabin was breathtaking and we all agree pictures don’t do it justice. If you’re on the fence on where to stay I’d book here! Also, so convenient to GNP!

    Grandma’s cabin is a slice of paradise in West Glacier. Sue and Matt share a home filled with comfort, love, and beauty. The home is rich in family history and spirit. Four friends from the east coast enjoyed our entire stay and appreciated the close proximity to the park. Book this home. Go. You will love it!

    This may top all other stays. It had the best views, we saw bear, deer, grouse, eagles, and so much more, all from the yard of the cabin. The overlook of the river in the back and the sound of the water was as peaceful as you will ever find. The cabin's rustic charm made us feel like we were visiting the past, while enjoying the present amenities. This is the place to go if you're looking for some peaceful/relaxing time. The cabin is located less than 5 minutes to the entrance of Glacier National Park on the Going to the Sun road. We had the pleasure of meeting one of the managers, Sue. She was extremely nice and very informative of things to do and places to visit in the area. GREAT PLACE!!!!!! Not enough words to describe the entire experience.

    Matt and Sue, we wanted you to know how much we enjoyed staying at Grandmas Cabin. It met our needs perfectly and had everything we needed to explore the area during this part of our journey. If we are ever in the area again this is the place to stay!

    This was absolutely the best stay we've ever experienced. The hosts love this place and it shows. Great location right near Glacier Park entrance in West Glacier. But the view from this cabin was beyond our dreams. We traveled with a dog and an elderly (104 y/o) aunt who uses a wheelchair. They both loved this spot too. Susan was very helpful, friendly and informative. It was very expensive-beyond our budget, really. But we do not regret the splurge to stay here. It was the highlight spot of our trip. Thanks for sharing this special place, Susan and Matt.

    This was the perfect home for visiting Glacier National Park. Glacier is less than 10 minutes away and after a long day of hiking, the property offered grilling, camp fires and wonderful views. The owners shared stories of the home's history. You will absolutely feel welcome.
