Glacier National Park cabin! Our basecamp to explore GNP, just 6 minutes away!
Come stay at our cabin, just 7 miles from the entrance to Glacier National Park! We are conveniently located in Coram, Montana, 200 yards from the nearest hike or ski, and across the road from the bike trail into Glacier. All while being close enough to a restaurant and pub to walk- even following a long day in the Park. Two miles down the road is the nearest grocery, as well as the Hungry Horse Reservoir, a great place for boating, fishing, and huckleberry picking. The quaint cabin has a spacious loft with a queen-size bed, and is accessed by a steep staircase (ladder). For those not wishing to sleep in the loft, there is also a queen-size futon bed downstairs in the living room. There is a kitchen available with stove, sink, and refrigerator, which we try to keep stocked with basic essentials. Enjoy the sun setting behind Teakettle Mountain from the outdoor covered porch, from the fire-pit, or catch the last light while inside through the many western windows. The cabin has terrific access all-year-round, being just 100 yards off of Highway 2. As such, the sounds of the highway, railroad, and our neighbors can be heard. However, those sounds are more than offset by the proximity to Glacier National Park. Just down the road is the Stonefly Lounge, where you can catch live music on most summer weekend evenings, and next door is the Glacier Grille where you can grab a bite to eat. Across the road is Glacier Highline, a natural adventure park with ziplines and other fun activities for kids. Walk another hundred yards or so and you'll make your way to Coram's own whiskey distillery, where you can taste a little of Glacier's history (be sure to ask for Josephine Doody's story if sampling the moonshine!). Wi-fi is spotty- it can sometimes be out for a couple of seconds or even up to a day or two. As such, we do not list it as an amenity, although it can be useful. The main attraction, is of course, the Park! The owners have and do work for park in various capacities (Park Ranger, guide, biologist, etc.) and have an enormous wealth of knowledge about it. In fact, my wife Chelsea and I live and work as scientists just outside of Glacier National Park, and we've started our own business to conduct science in the Glacier area! Search for South Fork Environmental Research and Consulting on our website to see what we're currently working on. The cabin has basic hiking necessities as well- bear spray, maps, suggestions. There is really so much to discover- if you have a question about anything in particular, ask the owners in your correspondence. We hike, raft, fish, bike and pick berries all over the area, and would love to let you in on a few of our secrets.
Our house is right next door, as well as two brand new A-Frames (built 2022)- ask us about booking multiple cabins if you're meeting family! Discounts are available for booking multiple cabins, ask us when you inquire.
Deuce entrance difficult to see when pulling out. âGardenâ was a natural growth to promote insects. However bees were more than plentiful where we parked and on porch. Very close to highway so noisy Stairs to bedroom very steep, railings short and had to go backwards to go down. Short ceiling at foot of bed. VERY few cooking items to utilize (one pan and one large useless pot. Refrigerator wobbly. Couch uncomfortable.
Trains, planes and automobiles, all hours of the night. Train whistles every hour like they were pulling up outside. If you can deal with that, it is a nice small home with everything you need, about 7 minutes from the Glacier Park West entrance.
We came in for easy access to GNP, super close to get in! We ordered carry out pizza from Last Best Pizza and stopped by Glacier Distillery right up the road. Easy access!
Check in was easy enough with the lockbox. However, the key didn't actually lock the door. We contacted the host but they didn't understand that when you take the key out of the door, it actually UNLOCKS it. We took all of our valuables with us each day because the cabin didn't lock. The convection hot plate and separate oven were fine. The glasses, dishes and pots were not clean. The pasta pot still had grease/sauce on the inside of the lid. the cups had dried coffee in them. The entire cabin was clean only on the surface. The futon cover is very warn and smelly. As you come up the ladder to the loft, you can see that the floor, especially under the bed, had not been swept. The bedding smelled like body odor and made for a very uncomfortable stay. Other bedding available had hair and dust on it so we didn't want to use that either. There was only 1 bathroom hand towel for the the entire weeks stay. Vegetation around the driveway and deck was extremely overgrown. It was dangerous to pull into/out of the driveway due to blind spots on both sides. We actually didn't even see the driveway upon arrival. We were assured that the house was "well stocked" but the spices were empty, there were no paper towels or napkins available. We had to make a special trip back to the grocery store for basics.
Stayed here off VRBO for our anniversary. Listing says WiFi- it was very very very spotty. We came in when they were doing pre evacuations due to fires- owner never mentioned this to us. We were coughing and congested for most of the trip. The smoke was heavy and we had ash on our car. Thankfully we do not have medical respiratory issues. Upon arriving, the cabin was dusty (main light fixture, top of fridge, book shelf, etc...) and the sliding door had dog or kid prints on it. The bathroom has a busted and faded bottle of hand soap. I appreciated they had shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and sunscreen. The weeds/ grass needs to be maintained and trimmed. The door was difficult to lock from the inside and outside every day, 7 days worth. Like it took 10 minutes on average to lock it. I now know why they had a piece of wood on the inside of the door, as a way to somewhat secure the door if you couldn't lock it once inside. This was the most irritating thing, more than the way spotty WiFi. It's nice to know my things are secure if I am away. I contacted the owner about the door lock, they said they ordered a replacement. Past reviews show this complaint too. Suggestions to add a microwave, TV with DVD's, window or portable AC, and board games. We heard the train pass by numerous times at night- got used to it. The cabin was cute otherwise and served it's purpose.
We had a group of 4 and we found the place very accommodating and spacious. We appreciated the book recommendations and the other informational resources. The only issue we had was the wifi was not working when we were there. Thankfully cell service was decent in the area.
Great base for visiting GNP! Cabin is well-equipped and cozy. Grill & picnic table also nice to have. If you are a light sleeper, definitely turn on the air purifier or bring a fan and/or ear plugs. Lots of hiking info provided by the owners.
this small home is fine for ideal location near the park. very few amenities- no space to unpack, no microwave, loft ladder is super steep & home is hot during the day. But clean with nice shower and standard kitchen supplies. The neighborhood is noisy- railroad, loud trucks, barking dogs but owners have supplied lots of useful hiking information & that's what this vacation home is all about.
Pictures do not do this cabin justice - it is immaculate and very cozy! My 6â9 husband didnât bump his head on anything, yay! Kitchen is stocked with oils and spices!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HIKING/AREA GUIDE BOOK! It really helped us out!
Treat this place as a base and expect noise. The location to GNP Entrance is fantastic (6 mins,) however because there is no AC you need to leave the windows open. This is problematic at night with the trains working at night. We opened the windows early in the day so it could cool down, and muted the sound with a fan and shut windows and slept great.
So nice to be a short drive from the Park entrance. Reminded me of some places Iâve stayed in the Dolomites or Switzerland. Heater was needed on 19 degree morns, and worked well! HOT water. HOT. Overall, tranquil and well-constructed. Trains can be a bit loud, but may subside as the port transportation issues are resolved.
