This is a lovely private cabin. About as close as you can get to glacier national Park without being in the park itself.

Beautiful property and loved having a full kitchen since we needed to store and prep food for our trip into glacier national park the next day. Cabin itself was very nice and looked brand new.

One major fail is no blackout curtains in the bedroom. It was a basic diffuser that let lots of light in.

We checked in late after hiking in Glacier day and were sent thorough and clear instructions on how to get to our rooms later in the evening. The place is absolutely stunning!

What an amazing place to stay and so close to Glacier! We spent a few hours in Glacier and then drove minutes to our stay at Paddle Ridge. Check in was simple and our rooms were warm, and comfortable. I must admit that the lobby with its big fireplace, huge windows to enjoy the tremendous views, and tables for enjoying a late night snack or play a board game made the hotel much more cozy.
