    We loved our stay - the rustic charm, open living spaces, and incredible mountain views were unforgettable. The location was perfect. Just a note that the lake access pictured is currently dried up due to drought, but it didn’t take away from our experience. We’d happily recommend this house to others!

    Great place! This cabin was perfect. It was close to the St. Mary's and Many Glacier entrances to GNP. The house had plenty of space for our group of 6 and we all had comfy beds. The kitchen was nice to have so we could make our own coffee, cook and prepare our lunches for our hikes! David is friendly and so helpful! If this is available for your dates, book it now! Thanks David!!

    I really have nothing but great things to say about Dave and JJ’s place. You can really feel the love in the home! The porch on the back is wonderful for sunrises and the seats in the front give you a view that you can only get in Montana…..the mountains are impressive. I can say enough about how comfortable the bed was I slept like a baby every night. The horses that free ranged just really added to the ambiance of the place. Highly recommend!!!

    What a unique experience in a stunning setting! We loved our stay at Stone House! Communication with the owner was excellent. Cabin was very clean and provided a convenient, comfortable home base for our East Glacier and Waterton adventures. During our stay, we enjoyed lots of hiking in parts of East Glacier, Two Medicine, Many Glacier, and Waterton National Park. Stone House is very close to the East entrance in St Mary and to the entrance at Many Glacier. It’s only about an hour to Two Medicine and 45 minutes to Waterton. We hope to stay again the future!

    We had a great time and wished we could have stayed longer! The lodge is even better in-person than the photos and description in the listing. Great location to easily get to Many Glacier and the East Side Entrance to Glacier National Park. The lodge is also just a great place to relax and enjoy stunning views of the nearby mountains. We got to meet the owner David as we were checking out, and he was a delight--offering to take photos of our group and great interacting with our friends' four year old. We would definitely stay again!

    David, we would like to say thank you for sharing your home with us, we sincerely appreciate it. What a great place! We stayed for 4 nights in late September 2024. The home was spotless and had everything we needed. The home is in the perfect location for accessing everything on the east side of Glacier and Waterton. Be sure to stock up on groceries and things you need before you get there. Availability is limited, especially late in the season. David's communication was awesome. We have rented several VRBO homes, and this is the first time the owner has made it a point to call me with important details prior to arrival. He answered tons of questions and gave us lots of tips. The home has tons of personal touches that are very cool. It's rustic, but it has local artwork and personal touches that made it feel very special. David, thanks for keeping your CD's in the house, we listened to your music several times. We wish we could have seen you live. We only saw a couple deer, no moose or other wildlife. We saw scat and prints, and the neighbor said some black bears have been around. We were a little disappointed that this portion of the lake is totally dry, but that can't be controlled. Again, thank you for sharing your home with us. We will definitely book again if we return to the area.

    A very peaceful, relaxing vacation, unconnected from the outside world. We enjoyed it very much. The cabin had all the amenities necessary for a relaxing stay. St. Mary’s is close enough for all the last needs. We highly recommend the Stone House for a stay to explore Glacier NP.

    I believe this is our 5th or 6th stay here, we've kind of lost track. We enjoy the peace and quiet of the Stonehouse versus the chaos and poor restaurant options in the park, but with relatively quick access to St. Mary's, Many Glacier and some of the best hiking and wildlife opportunities that Glacier Park has to offer. Once again, we saw a mother Black Bear and her two cubs out the dining room picture window just across the road in the meadow. I'm guessing it might be the same mom we've seen in previous years. Thanks again David and family for sharing your home with us. We hope to be back in 2026.
