The cabin was fully stocked with everything we needed from cooking utensils, pots and pans, cooler to bear spray. We enjoyed being able to use the cabin as our base to travel to West or East Glacier. After a day of hiking, it was nice to have a peaceful retreat to return to in the evenings . Our host, Wayne, was extremely helpful. Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay! Wayne stopped by the first night to make sure we were settled and he gave us some great recommendations for a great week in Glacier! Very well maintained cabin that was well-equipped and our kids fell in love with the game of croquet each night!

Family and I had a great week staying at the cabin and enjoying both sides of glacier. We knocked out all the hikes we planned the first few days so we’re able to hang out and enjoy the cabin and some local trails on our last day. Cabin was exactly what my wife and I were looking for when we planned our trip and we would stay here again on future trips.

Convenient to both the East and West entrances of the park. Had neighbors, but felt secluded and so very peaceful. Enjoyed watching the wildlife come into the yard and evenings around the fire pit.

My family and i had a great time. The area around the property was incredibly scenic and quiet! The mountains surrounding us filled us with a sense of awe. The property wasnt too long of a drive away from Glacier (which is GORGEOUS) and also not far from a couole nice restaraunts. Theres also a handful of wildlife viewing areas, trails, and other activities not far away from the cabin. All in all, its a really nice place to relax and unwind between trips to Glacier!

We absolutely 💯 loved Wayne’s cabin. It was such a perfect quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of the national park hotels. Great wildlife and nature too! Wayne was super nice and checked in with us too ask if he could pick up anything for us. Thank you Wayne we appreciate you!

The property is perfectly located for getting in and out of Glacier National Park. Beyond that, Wayne and MJ were good to point out many other great sites nearby. The cabin is well appointed with quality items in the kitchen. They even had a thoughtful cheese, cracker and local beer snack waiting for our arrival. *Highlight for us was the creek right on the property where we relaxed every day after our GNP Adventures. Thanks for hosting us at such a delightful propery!

This cabin was the perfect retreat for our anniversary trip to Glacier National Park. It was pretty close to both East and West Glacier and was such a cozy, beautiful place to come back to after a long day of hiking and exploring. We really appreciated the hosts’ advice, hospitality, and check ins as well as all the amenities they provided us with (I.e bear spray, firewood, binoculars, etc). We will be back again for sure!!

The Bear Creek Cabin was the perfect place our Glacier National Park adventure! The cabin was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Wayne was very friendly, and checked in several times to make sure we were doing ok. The location of the cabin was ideal as well, allowing us to be able to travel to all of the park entrances with a reasonable drive. We would strongly recommend The Bear Creek Cabin and hope to return soon!

Wayne was a gracious host & was there if we needed him. The cabin was well stocked with everything needed to make our trip to glacier enjoyable. The owners thought of everything we might need; from bear spray to backpack & binoculars! We will always treasure our stay at this cabin & hope to return.

This property did not disappoint and was exactly what we were looking for. It is a place to disconnect and connect with nature. We loved taking walks in the afternoon, even in the snow. You do have quite a drive to get to any major stores, but we did not mind. Highly recommend.

The cabin is in the middle of the east and west Glacier NP entrances. We loved the solitude we found. The kitchen was well stocked wtih very nice pans and knifes or all our cooking needs. We like that there was no TV's downstairs and we could check out form the world for a bit. We like the dual control sleep number bed upstairs, I found my number the first night and my girlfriend like playing with her side to find that goldilocks setting. Would recommend to anyone and if I come back to cycle the road to the sun again I will stay here.

This is an exceptional stay. The cabin is even better than the picture (this is late June so the landscape is a bit different). The owner was very available and helpful -- the Welcome Basket exceeded anything we had ever gotten (included Montana home brew beer!). Was convenient to East Glacier and Two Medicine area of Glacier Park. We had a wonderful stay (our first to Montana) in this spectacular beautiful area.

This was a great cabin in a great location. Situated between east and west Glacier. Great hiking trails in the neighborhood. The only problem was 7 days wasn’t long enough! Host was super fantastic! Warm, welcoming, accommodating, made our stay comfortable, worry free, and great advise about the area! Thank you Wayne and MJ!

Bear Creek Cabin was an ideal place for our group of 3 to stay during our week long trip to Gkacier. The location provided great access to both East and West Glacier. The cabin was clean and cozy , providing everything we needed. We cooked many of our meals there after a long day of hiking. Wayne stopped by to meet us and offered suggestions for our sightseeing. He was available with a phone call but we had no need to call. The wifi worked fine which was great since you have very little service anywhere else. The cabin is in a beautiful setting and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Glacier National Park.

My wife and I and our adult son enjoyed our Glacier National Park vacation based out of this beautiful property. It was clean, well provisioned, comfortable, and perfectly located to access both the east and west sides of the park. The beds were great, and we loved the cabin’s rustic feel that only enhanced our experience. Wayne checked in on us and offered great advice for our hiking plans. We fixed all our own meals during our stay (except one), and really liked the kitchen with the big windows to look out into the yard. We found this cabin to be a great place to unwind after a long day of exploring. Our one dinner out was at the Summit Mountain Lodge near Marias Pass, which we highly recommend. Hope we make it back another time - we would definitely pick this place again!

Communication is key for me & they were excellent, friendly & helpful w/suggestions of places to see. The place is located in an ideal location w/mountains & streams not to take away from the beautiful cabin. The wood stove was perfect for early morning chills but had other sources of heat available too. I would definitely recommend this place & will be coming back. I rate it at the top of my Vrbo experiences. Thanks for making our Montana experience awesome & complete.
