    The Shooting Star Lodge is a warm, comfortable home well suited to enjoy the views of GNP for all four seasons. Our family is from the area and we have loved going fishing on Duck Lake, hiking in beautiful Glacier National Park, and visiting Waterton Lakes National Park. There is nothing quite like the feeling of relaxation that you get while taking in the stunning mountain views from the property's wrap around deck. You can even enjoy the views from the outdoor shower/tub! We are just minutes from the east side GNP entrances, Many Glacier, and St. Mary's.

    ☆Upstairs☆
    -Two private bedrooms with queen beds

Beautiful views and extraordinary sunsets, private, lovely neighbors, comfortable beds, great kitchen and living space, WIFi and tv reliable, very clean, excellent communication with host, Kristin. Had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Will return again. Thank you, Kristin!

The cabin had great space for our two families. The kids stayed downstairs and the adults upstairs. The kitchen had everything we needed and enough room to hang at night. Porch has stunning wrap around views of the mountains. Being on East side allowed for ease of access into Many Glacier, GTTSR from St. Mary, and Two Meidicine. We still enjoyed exploring the West side of the park too and didnt mind the stunning drive back to the cabin. We planned to eat back at the cabin and pack lunch so the lack of restaurants on East vs West side wasnt a problem for us and having ease of acccess to the park with no or very minimal lines to get in was most important and a huge binus for our crew. Would definitely recommend this cabin to others for their Glacier trip.

A beautiful home with stunning views all around. Very well equipped and comfortable. Conveniently close to the park but still out of the way and quiet. Provided everything we needed (and then some) to make our stay extremely enjoyable. Thank you Cheryl and Lew!

great spot for hiking Many Glacier area

This cabin is in a great location for exploring the east side of Glacier National Park, especially the Many Glacier area. The views are really beautiful from the porch. The kitchen has all you could need. Plenty of space for all 8 of us. Lew and Cheryl were incredibly friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay here and would love to return one day.

Million dollar views ...

The cabin was wonderful. Million dollar mountain views. Super clean. Great kitchen. Right next to Glacier National Park. The sauna was amazing (it's fits three no problem). I would stay here again for sure. Lew and Cheryl were wonderful.

Great Home, Great Views, Great Access to East Glacier

Our family loved this home. We loved the open floor plan of the kitchen, dining and family room area. We loved the deck and its views and we appreciated that this home had a spot for everything - hooks everywhere to hang your coat, your hat or your Camelback. There is easy access to both the St. Mary's Entrance to Glacier National Park and the Many Glacier Entrance and we spent a great deal of time at each. Our thanks to Lew and Cheryl for a trip we'll never forget.

Beautiful house, excellent views. Exceeded expectations.

With the kids turning into young adults, this Montana trip may have been one of our last family adventures. Duck Lake Cabin was the perfect setting. It accommodated all of us comfortably. Spacious, clean & warmly decorated. The stunning views from the wrap-around deck made the morning coffee and evening nightcap an outstanding bookend to each day. I would definitely re-book this place when I return to Glacier. Thank you Cheryl & Lew.

Amazing !

The cabin was perfect. The location is between St. Mary & Many glacier making it an easy drive for going in at either entrance. Kristin & Zach thought of everything! It was well organized, homey and even included a thoughtful breakfast & coffee grounds from local vendors. I have traveled a lot and this is by far the best accommodations I have had! The views from the Cabin were better than the pictures. Kristin was extremely welcoming and quick to respond with any questions. 5 stars isn't enough for this place!

This property is everything and more as stated by owner. Minutes to Many Glacier or St. Mary. What a bonus with Duck Lake. Kristin and Zach offer up everything for enjoying home after a long day in park including fishing and sporting on the lake. Every attention to detail was so appreciated. Thanks. Hope see you again.

Perfect Cabin for your Glacier Park Stay!

We had a great stay here! The cabin is wonderful: very peaceful, clean, cozy, spacious with plenty of room for the six of us (2 parents and 4 adult kids). The well stocked kitchen was terrific - we packed our lunches every day and enjoyed family dinners each night after returning from long hiking days. There is an amazing view of the mountains behind the house; we saw some spectacular sunsets from the porch (and enjoyed seeing the local cows and horses roaming past the house!). It's a really easy drive into Many Glacier and St Mary's. We got the best of both worlds - nice private location, but grocery and convenience stores within a few minutes drive. We had a fantastic stay and would recommend Lew and Cheryl's cabin to anyone looking to explore the park or relax!

This was the exceptional place to stay for our vacation to the east side of Glacier National Park and Waterton. Easy access to all entry points on the east side and Logan’s Pass. The mountain range view of Glacier is spectacular (inside the home and on the wrap around porch) and a perfect to relax and recharge. The house was exceptionally clean, and well stocked with kitchen supplies. There were lovely added touches of a fresh floral arrangement, locally made breakfast treat, and local coffee. The hosts truly thought of everything and were very kind and responsive to any needs. After hiking and exploring during the day, we came back to the house and enjoyed all the amenities; grilling, playing boardgames, the sauna, watching movies, sitting around the outdoor gas fire pit roasting s’mores, outdoor shower, and relaxing watching the sunset over the mountain range. We would highly recommend staying here and will rebook when returning to Glacier.

Gateway to Many Glacier

Our goal was to hit the trails at Many Glacier without driving 2 hours from the west side of the park, but wanted a place that was fun and comfortable. I can't imagine a better choice. The 'cabin' was very comfortable, nice beds, well appointed, and Lew and Cheryl keep it stocked with the little stuff you tend to forget like salt and coffee filters. Spectacular views were a delight after a hard day hiking in the park, and we were only 25 minutes from the Swift Current Motel trailheads. Can't beat it.

Wow! We are homesick for this cabin already! The view is amazing, it is perfect!

This cabin felt like home from the beginning. The open family area with great views from every window, the separate private bedrooms and bathrooms, and the well equipped kitchen were just what these two couples needed. We cooked all of our meals and hiked in nearby Many Glacier and St. Mary everyday. The drive to both park entrances is easy, and wifi is available at the St. Mary visitors center if you need a "fix"! Try Two Sisters for a great meal in a unique setting if you want to eat out. Otherwise, this side of the park is very secluded, but all the best hikes and views are here compared to the west side near Kalispell.

Great house for views of Glacier NP and hiking it

Stayed for 7 days in mid September with wife, her sister and husband. Perfect house for 2 or even 3 couples. Well stocked kitchen and nice bathrooms. No cable, but many dvds and vhs tapes to choose from, but who needs TV after hiking GNP. Great pamarama of east side of park from house, amazing. Perfect location for hiking east side of park. Best hikes are 20-25 mins from house. We did Grinnell Glacier, Iceberg Lake, Bullhead Lake. Logan Pass is less than a hour away for Highline hike and Hidden lake. Highly recommend! Just keep the gate shut to keep the cows and horses out.

Wonderful house at a wonderful location!

We could not have asked for a better place to enjoy our Montana vacation. The house was very comfortable with a great floorplan for the 5 of us (grandparents on main level, with daughter and son-in-law and 6 year old grandson on lower level). I loved sitting on the back deck enjoying the amazing view and the equally amazing quiet. One night I went outside in the early morning to see the Milky Way and was treated to two shooting stars. The house was stocked with everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. Our objective was hiking at Glacier National Park. The location of the house gave us easy access to the St Mary area and Many Glacier. We would definitely stay at this house again! (I wish that I could stay there for at least a month.)
