GNP Lake Cabin

The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The property was in a very beautiful location; we really enjoyed sitting on the deck and going down to the water. Our only troubles were that sharing 1 bathroom wasn't the best for all our adults, as well as not having much room for our baggage in our bedrooms. But that's it! You'll love it here if you are looking for a nice simple beautiful spot right near the park entrance.

Serene Spot

We had a lovely, very peaceful, stay at this cabin on Lake Five. We hadn't ever been to Lake Five and this was the perfect spot for a getaway. Smoky sunsets, bald eagles, osprey, loons, a friendly duck, and lots of quiet time. We wanted an easy access to the park spot and we found it here. Although, being at this cabin made us not want to go into the park. I think we all would've been happy to just lay low for our entire visit. There were four of us - myself and my husband and our two teenage sons. And, there would've been plenty of space for more guests. The porch with picnic table was the perfect spot for coffee and every meal. And, the driveway had a big flat space for yard games. And, we spent a lot of time on the beach and dock. That access is definitely a bonus! I recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful MT getaway.

We had an excellent stay at this adorable cabin on Lake 5 in the forest. The west entrance into Glacier National Park was minutes away. We were there for a short stay, but enjoyed the spectacular view of the lake and some time hanging out on the dock/water. We appreciated the K-cups of coffee/tea, dish & laundry soap, some small bathroom toiletries, paper towels, full size washer/dryer, salt/pepper, some seasonings for grilling, cooking oil, sugar, foil, sandwich bags. These were a pleasant surprise, and it was nice not to have to purchase these things for our few days stay. There were 2 foam coolers and bear spray in the unit as well. Our family of six used the loft for our teens and both bedrooms. We also noticed a pull out bed in the living area sofa. Plenty of sleeping accommodations and table/chairs for a large family. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay!!

This house was great. The kids enjoyed the loft area. The lake was great and had a beautiful view. House had air conditioning and washer and dryer. No dishwasher but had an oven and stove. We enjoyed our time immensely. 10 minute drive to Glacier National Park West side entrance. We drove to the park one day and just hung around the house the next because it was raining out. When the weather improved, we spent hours at the dock and the lake. It was a perfect stay, and I would definitely stay again!!! We ate at the Great Bear Cafe in Hungry Horse 3 times, which had excellent sandwiches and great breakfast sandwiches. And then every night we went to the Huckleberry Patch for shakes! It was a great trip, and this house was perfect. The pictures truly don't do it justice. I was very impressed.

Excellent place to stay to visit Glacier and also get to enjoy Lake Five! Be sure to ask the owner about renting stand up paddle boards, they got delivered straight to the cabin and we loved using them daily off the private dock and beach. Having those made the stay exceptional!

Location Location

This cabin is definitely rustic, but the location couldn’t be better for exploring Glacier National Park. The lake is beautiful, and my kids loved spending time on the small beach and dock. It was the perfect spot to relax with a cold beer after a long day of hiking. The loft was a hit with the kids, and the owners were fantastic—when the coffee pot broke, they had a brand new Keurig delivered the very next day. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Perfect location for a Glacier trip

I feel like the description and pictures undersell this place a bit. We were a bit hesitant booking, but the reviews sold it and it was an excellent place. It's so close to the west entrance to the park - you couldn't ask for much better. And Lake Five is fantastic. We swam everyday after coming home from hiking. We had our family of 5 plus a friend staying and the 1 bathroom wasn't really an issue ever. The cabin is well stocked with towels, dishsoap, paper towels, and bear spray, which was nice that we didn't have to buy any. Overall, just a really great place.

West Glacier Lake Cabin

Great location to stay and visit Glacier National Park. Location on Lake 5 is a real bonus, nice sunsets on the lake after hiking all day. AC is a nice bonus for the surprisingly warm MT summer!

Cabin On The Lake

Our family of 5 had everything we needed at this little place including a beautiful view! It has to be one of the closest places you can rent and be outside of the park. Just a few minute drive to the west entrance but also close to several restaurants nearby. We cooked breakfasts there each morning and had plenty of pots and pans to do so. When I had a question about check out (which was the easiest of any place I’ve ever stayed), the reply was very quick. We’d definitely stay here again!

Excellent Location

This cabin is located right next to Glacier National Park and Going to the Sun Road. We’d stay there again for that alone. The cabin sits back a short way from the lake, but has private access. The view on the dock was awesome and very relaxing. The owner was very communicative and gave us some warnings and news we really needed to have for our trip. To be honest, we didn’t spend a ton of time at the property because we were in the park so much. Still, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with spices and all the cooking necessities. Overall, we’d definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend to friends.

Nice cabin in great location.

My family of five and I stayed at this cute, cozy cabin on Lake Five for three nights at the end of August. We used the cabin as a base camp for our adventures in Glacier (it is just minutes away from the West Glacier entrance). We went Hiking, boating, sightseeing and whitewater rafting which didn’t leave us enough time to truly appreciate the home and lake the way we would’ve liked to have. You need at least a couple weeks! We found the cabin to be exactly as advertised. Rustic, not fancy, clean, renovated and had pretty much everything we needed. Prices in the area are high and this location is prime, which justified the cost Loved having a nice washer and dryer on vacation with three kids. Upstairs loft was just fine for the 12-year-old and 8-year-old, but it would be a little tight for adults. They loved it. View from the deck was gorgeous. We enjoyed eating meals out on the picnic table on the deck. Deck itself could use a little attention - just wear flip-flops. Waterfront view from the dock was beautiful. Basic chairs provided. Bring your own floats etc. Heating system worked great for chilly mornings. We didn’t cook, but there were plenty of cups and plates for our use. Owner was very responsive and gave great suggestions on things to do/places to eat.
