Overall this was a great place. The best thing about it was the location! Amazing to be able to be this close to the park, but also close to anything we needed and other fun towns like Bigfork. The space was comfortable, and nice. It made for a great time in Glacier!
We loved our stay here. The room was much larger than we expected and everything we could need was included. Check in was easy and staff was great. One star taken off for noise from laundry room on corner of our building.
It was a very nice, clean, comfortable stay. Plenty of space for the 7 of us. Plenty of dishes (no dishwasher),
Laundromat was free (huge plus)
Nice parking for vehicles
This does have a separate living area downstairs, with steep stairs to go upstairs for kitchen, living room, and bedrooms and bathrooms
The place was far bigger, and newer than we expected and it was a lovely, relaxing place to retreat to after Glacier National Park. The kitchen was well stocked, and everything we needed was there. This place was fantastic, and a great value.
We stayed in Two Medicine unit and it was great. Had everything we needed, bed was comfy. Location was convenient for our needs, and they had free laundry.
After a week on the East Glacier side of Glacier National Park hiking, we loved coming to this wonderful home more than condo, just a great, wonderful place to stay!
Thanks for making our stay so great!
This property has a great location, easy check in, very clean, and the staff ensured we knew how to check in & that they were expecting us. For those going to Glacier National Park, this property is an easy 15-20 minutes away from the west entrance.
Great proximity to West entrance of Glacier. We rented a family apartment and it worked out great! Complementary laundry. Only thing that was bad was frying pans (as is usually the case in a rental- I’m sure it’s hard to keep them up) so I bring my own. Otherwise great rental .
Arrived late and could not locate building on property because it was after dark. No one on staff at arrival.
Called and texted number used to confirm reservation but got no answer. Had to walk property with flashlight to locate apartment. Took me about 30 minutes determine where i was staying. Very frustrating considering it was late and everyone was tired and ready for showers from hiking. Property manager should have emailed or texted map of property prior to my arrival. Ice maker did not work either. Unit was clean and beds were comfortable.
Glacier-Convenient & True Get-Away Once Off Trails
Located only 15 mins from the West Glacier entrance, this was a great little condo get-away to have once I'd wrapped up the day on the trails at Glacier!
The king bed was comfortable & the place was spacious & clean--pictures of the Grizzly Den online (my unit)--were accurate & is exactly what you get.
The kitchen was fully appointed & a nice thing to have to warm up dinners, etc.
Oh, and one of my favorite things was being able to pop over to Starbucks every morning for a pumpkin chai & breakfast sandwich before heading to Glacier!
There were just a couple of things that I can think of that might be helpful for people to know when staying in the Grizzly Den/other condo options here.
Two of the bedrooms in the Grizzly Den--the king master bedroom & one of the other queen bedrooms--was along the same side that runs along the US 2 freeway. AKA it is VERY noisy!
Tons of truck traffic & lots of gear-shifting & down-braking because there is a stop light right there. Also, some car racing and base thumping and obnoxious, loud exhausts from tricked-out cars.
There was also a wreck around midnight one night, which was SO loud it woke me up and shook the building & bed!! Then 8 police cars with sirens showed up.
Nothing necessarily something that ruined my stay, just something to know & pack your ear plugs.
Last but not least, the ceiling fan in the master is very clacky & loud. There is only AC in the kitchen & living room, so it was definitely needed. Again, ear-plugs.
Great place, we stayed in apt 31. It was perfect! Great size. Clean. Well stocked with towels. Full-sized kitchen with new appliances. We especially loved that there was a Starbucks 50 ft out our front door. Just a few miles from Columbia Falls, great town
Great stay
