Location to Glacier National Park was great. The size of the apartment was great for 3 of us , three nice sized bedrooms. Large private outdoor porch with Mountain View was awesome. Washer and dryer, and full size kitchen was perfect.

Property was clean and as portrayed in the listing. There was no daily service and we never actually saw anyone as the key code was emailed and then paperwork was taped to window, so no interaction with staff of any kind.

This property has a great location, easy check in, very clean, and the staff ensured we knew how to check in & that they were expecting us. For those going to Glacier National Park, this property is an easy 15-20 minutes away from the west entrance.

Roomy and clean
The Grizzly Den was super clean and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped. The only drawback was the signage. We weren't sure we were in the right place as the signs have very small letters. Since this is a 3 bedroom 1 bath unit, it would have been nice to have a mirror in at least one of the bedrooms so that the bathroom wasn't tied up with people putting on makeup and fixing hair. Otherwise a stellar unit.

Very spacious with grand views of the mountains surrounding the town. Great service from the one employee we spoke with. Slightly odd that you don't meet with anyone upon check in, but it worked nonetheless.

Glacier Basecamp was amazing. We visited Glacier National Park and the proximity was great for daily trips to the park. We had Moose Drool apartment which far exceeded my expectations for the two of us. We had 3 queen beds! It had a fully stocked kitchen, living room, bath with dual shower heads, seperate master bedroom and two additinal queens. It was spacious and just the right coziness for our wilderness adventure vacay. If you have a family and kids this will be perfect. And walking distance to Starbucks is a bonus!! Cannot recommend enough.
