Nice place.
Clean, beautiful construction, very secluded (but trains passing 24 hours a day only a few yards away). Great place for maximum of 4 people. Centrally located for both East and West park entrance although still a fair drive away. All amenities for cooking. Would definitely stay here again. Hosts very kind and accommodating.

Exceptionally clean and conveniently located to both west and east entrances to Glacier National Park. Master bedroom and full bath on ground level with kitchen, 1/2 bath, and living space located upstairs. Taller folks might find kitchen space somewhat uncomfortable to work in and regular rail traffic nearby are the only downsides to this fantastic home base for a great Glacier NP getaway! We’d definitely stay here again and enthusiastically recommend to others!

Nice visit to Glacier
Good for a couple who were spending our time in both west and east side of park. Odd amount of clean up expected.

Perfect spot for a stay while at Glacier National
Wonderful, comfortable and cozy accommodations that were extremely clean. When returning to Glacier National, we’d certainly stay here again. It was safest we ever felt, with the possibility of bears being in the vicinity. Jack & Barb

This is the clearest place I’ve ever stayed. And the supplies available to you are endless. It’s a very convenient secluded area right in between the east and west entrance’s of Glacier National Park. Roz and Mike are great host.

Beautiful and Peaceful. Great Location.
We took the train to the Essex, MT station, had a Turo waiting there and drove the 2 miles to this beautiful location. The carriage house was simple and welcoming. The host had great personal touches. Because this is halfway from the St. Mary's and West Glacier entrances to the park we had our pick everyday of where to go.

Lovely cabin in the woods
We greatly enjoyed our time at Roz's and Mike's place. Roz welcomed us when we arrived, but after that, they allowed us plenty of privacy, though let us know we could contact them at any time if we had questions. The place was spotless when we arrived, and we appreciated the amenities (including the grill, which we used one night). Although the downstairs bedroom and bathroom were on the cool side, the wall heaters worked well and heated everything up quickly. Similarly, the peace and quiet of the forest were wonderful, even with the train coming through at regular intervals (sometimes). All in all, it's a great place, and we'd definitely stay there again. :)
