For example, we arrived late one evening from Glacier Park, around 9:00 pm, and I was planning to make some spaghetti for a later dinner for my two kids. When I looked for a pot to boil the noodles, however, I couldn't find one, and then I saw the sign by the phone in the cabin that read "If you need anything," to call their service number. When I called the number, there was no answer, and since I had stayed at the Great Bear Inn before, I walked over to the main building, which was always open for guests, to find someone to help. When I found the place quiet and the manager's office closed, however, I went into the public kitchen area and took a pot, walked back to my cabin, and made the spaghetti. After my family ate the food, I washed and cleaned the pot and returned it to the kitchen. The following day I called the landlady, named "Bunny," and asked what I needed to do to check out the following day. When she asked me why I had called the previous night, I explained I needed to borrow a pot to cook spaghetti, but after I tried calling and then walked over to the office and found no one to help, I borrowed one from the public kitchen area, used it to boil the noodles, and after eating, I had cleaned the pot and promptly returned it to the kitchen. Bunny was irate and scolded me for doing this, insinuating that I had broken some sort of unpublished rule that the kitchen was off limits to guests. When I objected and said that I had both called and walked to the office for help, she was became rude to me, saying that she had an early bedtime schedule and could not be bothered after 9:00 pm. When I expressed my dissatisfaction at this blatant disregard of the customer's need, she became hostile, and when I told her that I had paid over $1500 to stay in the supposedly furnished cabin for three nights and therefore had a reasonable expectation to have the place furnished as was stated in the advertisement. When Bunny insisted that the pot I had needed was included in the kitchen area, I looked once again and finally found it -- but it was stored behind a wooden panel that was stuck due to poor maintenance of the property. When I explained this to her she was entirely unsympathetic and cold toward me... I have no ill-will toward Bunny and her husband Larry who manage the new version of the "Great Bear Inn." I had stayed at the resort twice before in previous years and under the former management my experience then was happy and the service was excellent. However I can no longer recommend the Great Bear Inn because the new management apparently has no idea of what decent customer service means. Let me close by saying that on the day of our departure, Larry, the husband of Bunny, aggressively came to the cabin and pounded on the door telling us to get out because it was almost 11:00 AM. At the time I was washing dishes we used there because there was a sign posted that said that all residents must wash the dishes before leaving, but Larry told me to just forget it and get out... He and Bunny then sat in their noisy ATV jeep in front of cabin until we finished packing the car and we drove off.... Disgraceful and childish behavior, to say the least, and I will NEVER stay at the Great Bear Inn again. For these and other reasons, not the least being the $500 per night price for staying there, I EMPHATICALLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THE GREAT BEAR INN.

Your cabin is made up every day and the continental breakfast delivery daily is very nice and accommodating. The people are friendly as well. Unfortunately they are handcuffed by their location. Sandwiched between a major road to the west side of Glacier National Park and a highly used train track system, it stays quite loud most days and nights. Even being a heavy sleeper, the late night trains had a tendency to wake us up because without air-conditioning, we had the windows up and could hear the train whistles most of the night. Cannot recommend staying here. We had to leave early due to a family emergency. I have emailed them three times to possibly see if the one remaining night could be refunded, but they have failed to respond to any of my emails which is a bit frustrating.

Brian (part of the staff) greeted us on Day 1, and he was there just about all of the time. He was extremely, extremely helpful. And extremely, extremely nice. Service like this goes a long way. Some special notes which made this place way, way above your typical hotel stay (as compared to mainstream brands like Hilton or Marriot).. The room(s) were impeccable with detail. Everything from the chairs outside of the rooms, the towels, folding the beds/pillows etc... You could tell they put a custom touch on. The breakfast was nothing short of delicious staring with the coffee, which was excellent quality coffee. Not farmer bros or max house, this stuff was top tier. (I am a coffee snob and do strictly pour overs only at home). Breakfast burritos were delicious. And the huckleberry jam and bread was excellent. You get a REAL breakfast here. Great location, you can walk down the hill, there is a nice place to eat nearby (Belton chalet). It is very peaceful. The air is so clean you can smell it. 100% highest and strongest endorsement.

ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY INNS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!…read more I have been extraordinarily fortunate to travel extensively throughout my life and to stay in some truly exceptional places around the world. Yet after all those years and all those travels, I can honestly say I have never stayed at an inn that made me feel quite as welcomed, cared for and completely spoiled as Garden Wall Inn in Whitefish, Montana. The inn itself is beautiful - elegant while remaining cozy and welcoming, intimate, impeccably appointed and filled with all the details that make a place feel truly special. But what sets Garden Wall Inn apart is something much harder to describe and even harder to find: the extraordinary care behind absolutely everything. Nothing feels routine. My glass of wine was beautifully presented on a silver tray. There is a wonderful selection of pillows, excellent lighting, lovely linens and chocolates waiting at bedtime. Beautiful china and silver turn breakfast into an occasion. And those breakfasts! Local fruits and yogurts, the owners incredible baking and one delicious surprise after another, all beautifully prepared and presented. I may have come home a pound or two heavier, but every single ounce was worth it! Even our departure was made special. We were given fabulous travel breakfasts in beautiful bags, complete with personal notes signed by our hosts. It was such a small and gracious gesture, yet it perfectly captured what makes Garden Wall Inn so extraordinary: they think of the things you would never think to ask for. But the greatest luxury here isn't something you can photograph. It's the hospitality! There is a genuine warmth and generosity at Garden Wall Inn that cannot be manufactured or taught. You are not simply given a beautiful room and a wonderful breakfast - you are welcomed, looked after and made to feel that your stay truly matters. We arrived as guests and left feeling as though we were saying goodbye to friends. I have been home only a short time, and I'm already wishing Chris or Rhonda would appear at my desk with my beautifully presented glass of wine on a silver tray! There are beautiful hotels. There are charming inns. And then, every once in a great while, you discover a place that becomes one of the very best memories of the trip itself. Garden Wall Inn is that place! If your travels take you to Whitefish, stay here. And if they don't, you may want to find a reason for them to. I know I will be back - and soon I hope!
