About this property

A-Frame Hiker's Retreat

  • Disconnect, decompress, and disengage from the stresses of daily life in a comfortable, completely refurbished A-frame Cabin. Fall in love with the beauty and solitude here in the heart of one of America's greatest national treasures.

    You'll enjoy breathtaking views of Glacier National Park's mountain ranges, waterfalls, and majestic lakes all within a short driving distance to the Many Glacier and St. Marys entrances to the park. Another scenic drive over Chief Mountain Road will take you to the historic town of Waterton located in Waterton National Park Alberta, Canada.
    Your home away from home features a fully furnished space complete with kitchenette, separate bathroom and bed accommodations for couples and one or two children.

    The proud owners would love to offer their suggestions for dining and recreational opportunities in the area. We have been rafting, biking, and hiking these unique, scenic trails for over 20 years.

The cabin was the perfect place to stay for exploring the east side of Glacier National Park. Easy access to Many Glacier and the drive to Two Medicine was beautiful. Would definitely stay again.

A real retreat

From the moment our reservation was confirmed, owner Ken was responsive to our questions. He gave us numerous tips about visiting the area attractions including some we were unaware of. The cabin had everything we needed. We would gladly recommend that family and friends stay here.

Amazing stay with the perfect location

We loved our stay at the Hikers Retreat. The hosts are exceptionally helpful, kind and knowledgeable of the local area. The home was very well equipped and comfortable. The location is perfect with quick access to the St Mary entrance and close proximity to Many Glacier, Two Medicine and even Waterton in Canada. We hope to come back soon and stay again!

Great stay

My family stayed for 7 nights while visiting Glacier NP. Communication with owner was great, check in process was smooth. A-frame is much bigger than it seems. Clean and nice place. Will stay again at this location next time. Thanks Ken and Gena for keeping the place in such a great shape! Igor

Cozy and welcoming

Had a great trip to Glacier National Park, and one of the best things about it was this space and hosts. Ken and Gena were a delight, easy to talk with and warm, welcoming people. The space itself was well set up and decorated appropriately. They had everything we needed; just needed to bring ourselves, our clothes/gear, and groceries. Thank you so much, we hope to return on future visits!

Hiking Glacier with our daughter

This place was the perfect hikers cabin. Great location close to both St. Mary's and Many Glacier entrances to the park which have the best hikes....just make sure you have your daily car permit reserved in advance. The cabin was wonderfully cozy to return to after a full day of hiking. The hosts were helpful and attentive. The kitchen and bathroom was fully stocked with lots of extra thoughtful items (like spices and butter should you forget to bring). Hope to be back again!

By far this was one of the nicest vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. It had everything you could imagine, my favorite items were the comfy robe and slippers! Ken and Gina live behind the cabin on the property and are there with helpful advice such as good hiking trails and places to eat. When the lights started flickering because of the approaching storm Gina came over with candles. It’s conveniently located near the Many Glacier entrance and St Mary’s. We stayed there 5 nights and really enjoyed it

Perfection in every way!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay. The cabin is exactly as described and pictured in the listing and Ken is a wealth of knowledge about the area. However, the real reason you come here is the location and it doesn’t get much better than this spot. Close to Many Glacier, St. Mary and even Waterton if you bring your passport. Also not far from Two Medicine which is also beautiful and less crowded.My only negative is the water pressure is a little weak but not enough to keep me from re-booking next time I’m in the area.

Awesome Property

Location to St. Mary and Many Glacier entrances was fantastic. Cabin is larger than pictured and the most fully stocked rental we've ever stayed in, literally had everything! The owners checked in with us right away to make sure we had everything we needed and offered great recommendations on hikes and where to eat. My ONLY complaint is the water pressure. It was difficult to get clean in the shower because the water is a trickle. I would still stay here again though.
