A super cabin in a lovely peaceful location. The cabin has all you need for a comfortable stay, with a great BBQ grill on the deck overlooking the woods. It is in a great location for accessing the west and east side, with the east side location handy for entering the "going the sun" road. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Fully recommended!

The cabin was beautifly set up at a distance from other cabins which gave us our privacy. We had all the bedding and kitchen appliances we could ask for including waffle iron, mixer, and kettles. I can honestly say we had everything we needed including Bear Spray, fire wood, and hammocks.

Perfect Montana getaway

Family and I had a great week staying at the cabin and enjoying both sides of glacier. We knocked out all the hikes we planned the first few days so we’re able to hang out and enjoy the cabin and some local trails on our last day. Cabin was exactly what my wife and I were looking for when we planned our trip and we would stay here again on future trips.

Glacier National Park

Convenient to both the East and West entrances of the park. Had neighbors, but felt secluded and so very peaceful. Enjoyed watching the wildlife come into the yard and evenings around the fire pit.

Perfect Glacier Cabin!!

This cabin was the perfect retreat for our anniversary trip to Glacier National Park. It was pretty close to both East and West Glacier and was such a cozy, beautiful place to come back to after a long day of hiking and exploring. We really appreciated the hosts’ advice, hospitality, and check ins as well as all the amenities they provided us with (I.e bear spray, firewood, binoculars, etc). We will be back again for sure!!

Wonderful Mountain Cabin

The Bear Creek Cabin was the perfect place our Glacier National Park adventure! The cabin was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Wayne was very friendly, and checked in several times to make sure we were doing ok. The location of the cabin was ideal as well, allowing us to be able to travel to all of the park entrances with a reasonable drive. We would strongly recommend The Bear Creek Cabin and hope to return soon!

Cabin was as described. Very clean and well furnished. The owner came and introduced himself. Gave us some ideas and recommendations on activities and places for a good meal in the area around Glacier National Park. Centrally located between the Eastern and Western side of Glacier National Park. Overall a lovely place to kick back and relax. 100% satisfied!!!

Best vacation we have ever had

This house was absolutely perfect. Between the location and the log cabin it was perfect. Scenery, peacefulness, cleanliness, etc. I can't say enough good things about Bear Creek Cabin. The location to Glacier National Park was between West and East entrances (East side was much better for scenery) Wayne and MJ went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and help us with directions, suggestions on places to go to see wildlife, etc. We are planning to come back to Bear Creek again and again.

Montana Pines

This is an exceptional stay. The cabin is even better than the picture (this is late June so the landscape is a bit different). The owner was very available and helpful -- the Welcome Basket exceeded anything we had ever gotten (included Montana home brew beer!). Was convenient to East Glacier and Two Medicine area of Glacier Park. We had a wonderful stay (our first to Montana) in this spectacular beautiful area.
