Entire Rustic House Close to Glacier Park Vacation

Essex town is located between East and West Glacier. It is a good location for exploring both sides of the parkThe house is close to main road and train tracks, the trains don't blow the horn because there is no crossing but you can hear them. IF YOU ARE A LIGHT SLEEPER PLEASE DON'T BOOK. The Great Bear Wilderness is right the back side of the house. Stanton lake hike (in the wilderness)is one of my favorites. The trailhead is 5 minute drive from the house. Stanton creek is a nice spot for picnics too.
Our house has all the amenities completely furnished with linens, towels and dishes. There is a TV and a DVD player with a selection of DVD'S. There is no satellite TV. There are some games and puzzles and a pool table. There are some hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trail maps available and some activities you can do inside and around the park.
The house features exterior security cameras. The cameras don't look into interior spaces. The cameras record video when activated by motion.
Walton Ranger station which is an entrance for day hikes and back country trips is 7 minute drive from the house.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances, coffee maker, microwave, dishes and cookware and some seasonings.
The bedroom has a queen bed.
The bathroom is fully equipped too, We stock the starting supplies of toilet paper, soap, shampoo, trash liners.
It used to be a bar in late 1950s.
Enjoy your stay and also go and explore the park and outdoor activities as river rafting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, boating.
There are also Red Bus Tours available in the park.

Loved spending our honeymoon near Glacier and enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It had everything we needed, kitchen wares, extra clean towels, lots of throw blankets, games, tv, and even a pool table! The bathroom was fantastic and we loved that there was a washer and dryer on the property. The property was about 20 minutes from west glacier and had great views. We’re looking forward to coming back in the future and would love to stay here again.

Great Stay

This was a great place and that it was almost mid-way between east and west Glacier meant we could go to either side of the park. The train reminded me of childhood!

We absolutely enjoyed the mix of rustic and modern during our stay. Much of the House remains apparently as it has been from when it was built yet it has up to date kitchen, bathroom, and laundry appliances. The quiet, isolated area was also very nice. There is a great place to eat not too far from the House - an unexpected pleasure.
