Great place for everything except full privacy
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.

No frills place near GNP west entrance.
We primarily used this a a place to sleep. Glad it had a heat pump (cooling or heating) in the primary sleeping room. Kids also had fun swimming from the dock, which is located across the street.

Dock across the street from home
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.

Perfect place for visiting Glacier National Park
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!

Fall trip
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.

Great spot in the woods near Glacier with a swimming lake!
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!

Great getaway
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!

Glacier Cabin
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.

Glacier family vacation
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!
