#1 Vacation Rentals

Staying at a vacation rental by owner is in my opinion, the greatest way to experience everything that Montana has to offer. There are lots of options for places to stay within minutes of Glacier National Park. After a long day exploring the park you can come home to a bed for those of you who aren’t into sleeping under the stars. And is your stay really complete without a campfire and roasting marshmellows?

Here are a few amazing options, starting with one owned by yours truly ;) I’m so in love with our little piece of heaven, and love sharing it with others! There are 5 rentals on 1 and 1/2 acres with a small apple orchard. It’s ten miles from the park. You can rent just one or all five and have the perfect amount of space for and from your friends and relatives! And if you book directly through me then you can save on airbnbs booking fees.

#2: Historic Lodges

Glacier has stunning historic lodges with views that are worth the price tag! But be sure to book early. Some of these lodges book over a year out!

#3: Luxury Hotel

If you love the outdoors but want to also enjoy a fine cooked meal and maybe even a day at the spa, check out these outstanding hotels. My family and I love to take “stay-cations” at these during the winter.

#4 Dude Ranch

Another super fun option is to stay at one of the incredible dude ranches in the area! A vacation you’ll remember for years to come.

#5 Campground

There are several campgrounds in the area that are my preferred type of camping. Camping. But with hookups.

The West Glacier KOA is probably the nicest KOA I’ve been to. TWO pools, hottub, outdoor bar, restaurant, and cabins!

But MY favorite place to camp is at Lake Five Resort. You feel like you’ve traveled back in time to a summer camp from the 70s and I’m so there for it. Plus, they have hookups, cabins for rent, kayaks and canoes to rent, and an amazing lake to enjoy. My kids will spend all day swimming back and forth to the dock with a slide!

For those of you wanting a true Montana experience go pitch a tent! State campgrounds take reservations here https://montanastateparks.reserveamerica.com/ and Glacier Park campgrounds take reservations here https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/camping.htm
State campgrounds take reservations 9 months in advance and Glacier Park reservations can be made from 12 to 6 months in advance.

BONUS

But if you want the most epic of all epic stays ever and you have a LOT of time to plan in advance, snag a stay at the Granite Park Chalet. The 8 mile hike is so worth it. This one is still on my bucket list, as it should be on everyone’s!
