Glacier-Convenient & True Get-Away Once Off Trails

Located only 15 mins from the West Glacier entrance, this was a great little condo get-away to have once I'd wrapped up the day on the trails at Glacier! The king bed was comfortable & the place was spacious & clean--pictures of the Grizzly Den online (my unit)--were accurate & is exactly what you get. The kitchen was fully appointed & a nice thing to have to warm up dinners, etc. Oh, and one of my favorite things was being able to pop over to Starbucks every morning for a pumpkin chai & breakfast sandwich before heading to Glacier! There were just a couple of things that I can think of that might be helpful for people to know when staying in the Grizzly Den/other condo options here. Two of the bedrooms in the Grizzly Den--the king master bedroom & one of the other queen bedrooms--was along the same side that runs along the US 2 freeway. AKA it is VERY noisy! Tons of truck traffic & lots of gear-shifting & down-braking because there is a stop light right there. Also, some car racing and base thumping and obnoxious, loud exhausts from tricked-out cars. There was also a wreck around midnight one night, which was SO loud it woke me up and shook the building & bed!! Then 8 police cars with sirens showed up. Nothing necessarily something that ruined my stay, just something to know & pack your ear plugs. Last but not least, the ceiling fan in the master is very clacky & loud. There is only AC in the kitchen & living room, so it was definitely needed. Again, ear-plugs.

Overall this was a great place. The best thing about it was the location! Amazing to be able to be this close to the park, but also close to anything we needed and other fun towns like Bigfork. The space was comfortable, and nice. It made for a great time in Glacier!

Great proximity to West entrance of Glacier. We rented a family apartment and it worked out great! Complementary laundry. Only thing that was bad was frying pans (as is usually the case in a rental- I’m sure it’s hard to keep them up) so I bring my own. Otherwise great rental .
