We liked the idea of a smaller "resort" and this location looked the best, and most reasonably…read morepriced, out of limited hotel options in the area. There are less than 10 cabins, a lodge, and steakhouse. A river runs behind the property but from our cabin you couldn't see it. The trees are abundant and gorgeous, though. Starting with the highlights, we appreciated the friendly staff, tasty food at steakhouse (that they adjusted based on our needs), the charming lodge to visit for internet (only place you're guaranteed service), and the attractive, quaint cabin with breathtaking views. Based on these features I'd rate the place four stars. However, the cabin experience is what brings down the rating for me. I completely understand that you visit a Montana for the wilderness, and we were staying in a cabin not a big hotel, but we weren't trying to get a camping experience. I say that because of the ABUNDANCE of bugs inside the cabin. Again, woods = bugs. However, upon arrival the cabin was filled with months. There were at least 15 that I counted. And I saw four spiders within about five minutes. I spotted three more spiders in the bathroom while showering. Of course lots of flies, too. There shouldn't be that many insects inside the room. They're either getting in somewhere or the door was left open while cleaning maybe? I literally slept with a sheet over my head for both nights. And we had to make sure our bags were closed tightly for fear bugs would get inside luggage. Other things to note, hard to find location especially since GPS is spotty in woods. If driving from main East Glacier, you'll pass a rest stop on your left and a pullout on the right, then immediately after its on the right. No TV in room. WIFI only works in lodge and occasionally at restaurant. Breakfast offered is yogurt and bagels.

(Chad, the owner has been trying to gaslight and blame me for HIS staff not communicating…read morereservations and details- see photos below and more explanation at the bottom.) DON'T TRUST THEIR RESERVATIONS! I called and talked to someone months before my wedding for reservations for a rehearsal dinner for 22 people. When I called the owner answered and said they weren't technically open yet for the season, but he could put my reservation in for me. For some reason I had a bad feeling about if he actually got my reservation down so about 2 weeks or so later I called back, talked to someone else, and they said "yes we have you all set for that date and time". Awesome. But I still had a weird gut feeling about it and called a 3rd time about a month before the wedding dinner and they confirmed again they had me down for 22 people. I was reassured now. Someone called me the night before my rehearsal dinner (see the photo of the call log, you can see the person leaving the voicemail said 'I saw you have a reservation for 23 people at 5:30pm', so they DID have me down prior to that phone call) and asked if we were still coming and I said yes. He informed me they couldn't no longer seat me outside only inside, which I said was okay. He confirmed my reservation was set and said "See you tomorrow". The morning of my rehearsal dinner the owner, Chad, called me and was like "I was just told we have you down for a party of 22 tonight and this is my first time hearing of it, you're not on our event schedule". I explained all the times I talked to him and he made the reservation, as well as many other people that confirmed it including the night before and he said I needed to submit a request through the website for the event and that's the only way they can schedule these events. I told him whoever I talked to initially never told me that and said he put me on the event schedule. Chad then proceeded to blame me and belittle me for not doing it "correctly" and basically told me this was my fault, not theirs, and they couldn't seat us. He then said they could seat us but I would have to rent the upper room for $800- again no one EVER told me anything about renting a space when I talked to 3 separate people. We couldn't pay $800 more and now we're out dinner for 22 people that travelled from WI. Luckily I found the Snowgoose restaurant in St Mary and that manager was very nice and accommodated our group for the same evening. Do NOT trust these workers here to tell you the correct information or put it in their event schedule correctly!!! Since the owner still wants to take NO accountability for his actions and again try to blame me and say I never let him know I no longer wanted the reservations (see photo of his reply on my Google review still just blaming me!) I included in this review the photo of me letting Maribeth know I don't need the reservations and she even replied "thank you for letting me know". So again, a lie from the owner to gaslight me (or his staff don't communicate important things, still not my fault) because I DID let them know I didn't need the reservation and we weren't coming. I also updated a photo of my call logs with the restaurant. My initial call where I scheduled the reservation was from my work phone, which I will get that photo of and post that as well. This is ABSURB how he handled this situation.

That's the one that shares a wall with both toilet rooms had there's no telling what sensory experiences you might enjoy at any hour of the day or night. The furnishings in the rooms and common areas were... shoddy. The beds were uncomfortable with well-used spring mattresses. Any noise from the kitchen and bar areas below carried and things didn't get quiet enough to sleep until everything was closed down. And I suggest you avoid sitting on the sofas in the lobby. It only took me a few minutes to discover there were already lots of little things already living there. Food service is erratic. We didn't try any of it and from what I saw it didn't look awful. The good news is you're just down the road, around the corner, and down the road from the Cattle Baron Supper Club. We had dinner there one night and it was the best steak dinner I've had in a long time. We were chatting with a bellman at the Many Glacier Hotel (which is another spot to get a great meal). He mentioned there were lots of places outside the park besides his hotel that provided better value. When we told him where we were staying he replied without skipping a beat, "that's not one of them." The park is beautiful and we will be back. However, we'll make a point of seeking out some other place to stay.

I explained the situation and asked how I could arrange for my daughter to have a bouquet. I was glad to pay whatever it would take to give her this gift. Andrew was very kind and understanding. He offered to drive over and pick up flowers for her. I offered to pay and he refused to let me. He even sent me a text with a photo of the flowers prior to delivering them to the room.

Picnic table at our spot was newer than the others but all of our friends spots had old rotten ones that were splintering BAD. I know the trains & associated noise isn't their fault but just be aware, it can be REALLY annoying. Laundry facilities were like when I was in college & went to the ghetto south side laundry mat. Machines STUNK. I only used it for a large blanket I couldn't fit in my own washer but it smelled so bad that I ended up taking it to a full service place in town to be redone.

I asked for the owner's phone number and he said he was out of town and it wouldn't matter anyway. It was apparent to me that the A/C had not been working for a while and they didn't care. They had their money. We spoke with another patron who was not happy with their room either and said all other motels in the area were booked solid. We were at a popular National Park. Also there was little to no cell phone service in the area for both ATT and Verizon. So we were even unable to check other nearby motels for vacancies.
