"Fantastic experience! Nice, warm welcome when we checked in. Smaller, intimate property of 12 rooms. Lounge area is perfect for breakfast and the breakfast burritos were great! Also loved getting a chance to try huckleberry jam on huckleberry bread! The room is nice and spacious. Includes a refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot and actual mugs! Comfortable beds and nice standalone electric heater that resembles a wood stove. Great location for easy access to Glacier NP and right behind a fantastic restaurant, Glacier Highland, known for their pies!"
