Making Memories!
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!

Baker visit
My wife and I had owned and managed a vacation rental and we understand the trials of that business and we appreciate every thing they do to make our stay comfortable and worry free. And they did - our home away from home. The first day we had a problem with a flat tire and the helped us get back to our vacation with hardly any time lost. My wife loves a clean place and their rental exceeded her expectations which is very difficult for most to do. At the age of 76 we are knocking off a number of our bucket list items so we probably won’t returned to glacier again but if we did we would return here.

Highly recommend this cozy haven in the woods!!
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!

Nice place.
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.

Exceptionally clean and conveniently located to both west and east entrances to Glacier National Park. Master bedroom and full bath on ground level with kitchen, 1/2 bath, and living space located upstairs. Taller folks might find kitchen space somewhat uncomfortable to work in and regular rail traffic nearby are the only downsides to this fantastic home base for a great Glacier NP getaway! We’d definitely stay here again and enthusiastically recommend to others!

Beautiful and Peaceful. Great Location.
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.

Lovely cabin in the woods
We greatly enjoyed our time at Roz's and Mike's place. Roz welcomed us when we arrived, but after that, they allowed us plenty of privacy, though let us know we could contact them at any time if we had questions. The place was spotless when we arrived, and we appreciated the amenities (including the grill, which we used one night). Although the downstairs bedroom and bathroom were on the cool side, the wall heaters worked well and heated everything up quickly. Similarly, the peace and quiet of the forest were wonderful, even with the train coming through at regular intervals (sometimes). All in all, it's a great place, and we'd definitely stay there again. :)

Trip to Glacier National Park
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.

Great base for West Glacier
Roz was a wonderfully thoughtful and attentive host, both before and during our stay. The lodging was perfect for the 2 of us, and could easily deal with 4 or 5 people. We had everything we needed, and more. We were 30 mins from the West Glacier entrance which was very convenient for the stunning “going to the sun road”. The drives to St Mary’s and Many Glaciers were longer, but scenic in their own right.

Location was perfect. Away from the crowds but was close enough to participate in any activity in West Glacier. Property was very clean and surrounded by trees and flowers. Roz met us as we drove in and was very helpful in giving us suggestions for rafting and other activities. If we get back this way from Texas will definitely stay again. You should try it…you won’t be disappointed.

Cozy, Perfect for a Couple
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mike and Roz’s. It was very clean and the amenities were great, especially the A/C unit upstairs! We are from Louisiana and enjoy ice cold A/C. Downstairs we cracked windows and it helped, except when we had to run the dryer. The dryer is not ventilated to the outside, so downstairs would get quite warm. We were told that Verizon would have service but we had no service while we were there and the Wifi is very slow, so if you need to work or access the Internet you may be out of luck here. We would also agree with previous guests that the bed was too soft. Overall we had a great time and it was a cozy place to come back to after long days exploring Glacier. The views out front are beautiful with the mountains in the background.
