Great Cabin- get own beach & dock! Perfect for Glacier National Park Vacation!

Grandpa's Cabin ~

A great Montana feel!

This rustic home now has been updated with New Flooring, New Stove, New Dining Room Table, New Refrigerator, New Couch, added a Dishwasher and New Mattresses! This cabin has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and is capable of sleeping up to 8 people in beds. There is access to your own private beach just across the road on Lake 5 with a dock.

Just minutes from your front door are countless family activities, some of which include: Glacier National Park hikes, sight seeing, whitewater rafting, fly fishing, horse back riding, helicopter tours and fine dining. This is a great home base to spend a few days in Glacier or just relax by the water.

Note: This cabin is in the forest. You will have some insects (gnats, mosquitoes, flies, and spiders) at anytime throughout the year. There will be wild animals such as but not limited to bats, deer, gophers, elk, bears, and other animals around the cabin as well. Please be aware of these and prepare accordingly.

I LOVED this property!!! The location was great, near the park entrance and restaurants. It was very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the fire pit out back and the lake. It was exactly what we were looking for.

This little cabin is perfect for your family getaway, especially if you have teens who are too old or big to share a bed! Super convenient to the park, with board games to keep you occupied if it rains.

We loved this place. The surrounding is tranquil. The lake is beautiful. The kitchen is fully equipped. The only complaint we had is a bit lack of privacy. The large bedroom does NOT have its only direct inside access to the bathroom! Sleepers in it needed to either go through the master bedroom or outside through the porch and the front door, which was rather inconvenient during the nights.

We had a great time and enjoyed AC in the large bedroom. Saw deer in the yard every evening. Very relaxing and fun to but on a Disney vinyl at bedtime. No coffee provided so make sure to bring your own coffee.

My family spent our summer vacation at Grandpa's Cabin. We visited Glacier National Park several times conveniently located only a few minutes away. Some days we stayed at the cabin and played on the lake. The private dock was a wonderful spot to lounge, jump into the water, and launch our SUP. We appreciated the fun records and record player and AC. The cabin was very clean, organized, and had everything we needed to have a great vacation. Thank you!

This cabin was perfect for our family of four though it could have slept many more people! The lake is accessible directly across the street and it is beautiful. Ryan was welcoming and nice. All in all it was a great trip.

This property was just what we were looking for. Hicking, fishing, site-seeing and cooking in the evenings with a fire pit to reflect on the day. It was spectacular! For us, we wanted a none commercial location that was still close to Glacier Park entrance.

Great place to stay. Very rustic but clean. Some miscommunication about what to do with trash due to bears. Need bear proof bins or owner needs to pick up trash daily .

This was a great property to stay at for a base to GNP. Even if we hadn’t planned spending a majority of time at GNP, this would have been a great place on the lake. Ryan was great to work with. He made sure he kept us informed of fire restrictions and changes with the reservation system at GNP. He really went above and beyond. Thank you!

We stayed at grandpa’s cabin for five nights, good location to glacier national park. Quaint and clean cabin. Perfect for the two of us. If staying at the cabin with children or another couple, the second bedroom has three full beds, but would need to walk through the master bedroom to get to anything else in the cabin, such as the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. There is a door if you want to walk outside and come in the front door to avoid walking through the master.

We loved our stay at Grandpa’s Cabin! We thought the location and fire pit were awesome. We liked how well the kitchen was set up. One minor issue was how the front screen door didn’t close well (there was a sign saying to shut it all the way but it was kind of a pain). Aside from that, we really enjoyed this location and highly recommend it!

This cabin is in a great location for west glacier. Cabin was clean and had all the amenities we needed for an enjoyable vacation. The living room/ dinning room is small but we spend most of our time outside. The lake is across a small lightly traveled road and down a steep slope, steps made into the hillside for ease. The private dock was very tranquil and relaxing. The view is incredibly beautiful and breathtaking. We highly recommend this place and we plan on renting when we come back to Glacier. Thanks “Grandpa” for sharing your piece of paradise with us.

This cabin is in the absolute perfect location to explore Glacier National Park. The dock on Lake 5 is really amazing! Unfortunately, the week we were there the gnats inside the cabin were terrible. We reached out to the property manager and he did respond by email but did not attempt to help with the issue. We ended up purchasing and putting up fly strips on our own. We caught hundreds of gnats with these. This helped some but in the evenings the gnats would still swarm your face. It really impacted our comfort and happiness with the stay.

Great location, Lake just a short walk away. Cute little cabin right in middle of forest with nice fire pit. We loved walking down to the lake and hanging out on the dock swimming and paddle boarding...rented paddle boards from whitefish tours, great friendly guy, very reasonable. Inside the house could use some upgrades, coffee pot took almost 40 minutes to make full pot. Futon in living room, not comfortable to sit on. Loved the record player and all the games. Maybe they’re going for retro feel but if a few things were updated, it could be amazing. Overall, had a wonderful time, thanks for sharing grandpas cabin with our family!!

Grandpa’s cabin is unique, quant, quiet, peaceful! Perfect for our family. We really enjoyed our own private dock on Lake Five. The steep incline to the lake was a bit of a challenge for one of my daughter’s, but she learned how to navigate it quick. We had evening dinners, mostly outside by the campfire! The accommodations were adequate, and the beds comfortable. If opportunity allows, we will rent it again! We all had such a good time. A little issue with the shower curtain, as we kept getting the floor wet, so, we lowered the shower curtain, that seemed to take care of it. We tried to keep up with daily vacuum, and did a over haul on the provided vacuum, as it was over full. Having a washer and dryer with the daily swims was perfect! Being close to Glacier National Park is amazing! Daily hikes and evening swims! Thank You Ryan so much for offering this little slice of heaven!

Perfect spot, very close to Glacier National Park, maybe a 5 minute drive to the west entrance. Very woodsy and rustic, like a campground, with a beautiful lake with a private dock, perfect for jumping in & swimming. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, etc., and it was great to have a washer & dryer with laundry detergent provided by the host. Ryan, the host, was very responsive, which we really appreciated. There were a ton of gnats/fruit flies inside when we arrived. Ryan did come and help when we reached out to him and that issue improved. The three beds in the one room were perfect for our 3 boys but when we arrived we noticed there were fresh sheets on the bed but not pillowcases (just the decorative ones that match the bedspread). Luckily I found extra pillow cases in the closet and felt better about that. Also the floor mats in the kitchen and bathroom were damp when we arrived, which probably did not help the gnat situation. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location and rustic vibe were great, and the kids LOVED the lake. The fire pit area was nice too but we weren’t able to use it because of fire restrictions. We did sit out at the table and were not bothered by bugs at all, even through dusk. If not for the gnats it would have been absolutely perfect. there is no tv but the internet works well. you need to walk through the main bedroom to get to the other bedroom which has the 3 beds. Could probably use a deeper cleaning (floors, bedspreads). overall great stay!
