The home is open, spacious, clean, and bright. I could sit on the back deck and enjoy that view all day. We loved the private and forested location that's just a short walk to the little town of West Glacier with its gift shops, basic grocery, and rafting company. It's just about as close as you can get to the park entrance. There's a train station just across the way and you can hear them from the home, but it was never a problem. There's a little restaurant at the bottom of the driveway that serves great fruit pies if that's your thing. (That became a nightly routine for us.) We also discovered a beautiful walking path that takes you up one side of the river and down the other with amazing views of the water and surrounding forest. The week we visited there was smoke from distant forest fires obscuring views of the mountains and one of our kids got sick so we werent able to do all the things we planned. But, the house was such a great place to just sit and relax that we still had a great vacation. I would stay again in a heartbeat!
