My wife and I so enjoyed the Carriage House! Everything we needed was provided for a wonderful five night stay. We loved the decor and the cabin feel. Tucked away off Hwy 2 in just enough woods to get that secluded feel, but still close enough to get where we wanted to go. Roz greeted us upon arrival to make sure our accommodations were just right. A true home away from home. Very nice!

Our family absolutely loved our stay in this wonderful carriage house! We were thankful to be in the middle of both the east and west sides of Glacier National Park so we could easily go both places. The space was super clean and very warm and inviting. Roz was always so responsive to my questions - she honestly could not have been more accommodating. One of our all-time favorite vacation rentals for sure!

Cozy place set back from a main highway/road. Directions given by host to get to the home were very helpful. There was plenty of necessities on the property (towels, kitchen utensils, hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner, etc). The wifi worked pretty well. The stay was about 1 hour from east glacier NP and 35 mins from west glacier. Very hospitable host, would stay here again!

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

I cannot put into words how amazing our stay was! The cabin is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your vacation to Glacier. The bed is soooo soft, the wooden decor is beautiful, and there are plenty of board games to play while you enjoy the quiet forest. The scenery is stunning. My partner and I stargazed every night and even saw the Milky Way and so many shooting stars that we lost count. Amazing place to feel peace and solitude. We will be back!

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.

We had a great time at this cabin. It was very cozy and very clean. I enjoyed the views from the balcony. The train tracks are too close to the cabin. Other than that, everything was great!

What an AWESOME place. Mike and Roz were very accommodating. They left us a sweet welcome note and basket. This is a perfect get away spot.

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.

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.

Property was very well maintained. Everything was clean and there was a nice welcome basket. Excellent location for visiting Glacier National Park. Although the rental was attached to another home had a lot of privacy amd never noticed the home owners. It is near railroad tracks but it was not an issue. Would definitely stay here again.

The place was so clean, well-stocked and in a very good location between the two park entrances of Glacier National Park. I really liked the rustic feeling of the carriage house. Roz gave us a lot of information regarding things to see and do while we were here. Would definitely return and also recommend to family and friends. It was great!
