8/10 Very good

Overall this was a great place. The best thing about it was the location! Amazing to be able to be this close to the park, but also close to anything we needed and other fun towns like Bigfork. The space was comfortable, and nice. It made for a great time in Glacier!
Emily, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a very nice, clean, comfortable stay. Plenty of space for the 7 of us. Plenty of dishes (no dishwasher), Laundromat was free (huge plus) Nice parking for vehicles This does have a separate living area downstairs, with steep stairs to go upstairs for kitchen, living room, and bedrooms and bathrooms

After a week on the East Glacier side of Glacier National Park hiking, we loved coming to this wonderful home more than condo, just a great, wonderful place to stay! Thanks for making our stay so great!
Sue, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The place was far bigger, and newer than we expected and it was a lovely, relaxing place to retreat to after Glacier National Park. The kitchen was well stocked, and everything we needed was there. This place was fantastic, and a great value.

Glacier-Convenient & True Get-Away Once Off Trails

Located only 15 mins from the West Glacier entrance, this was a great little condo get-away to have once I'd wrapped up the day on the trails at Glacier! The king bed was comfortable & the place was spacious & clean--pictures of the Grizzly Den online (my unit)--were accurate & is exactly what you get. The kitchen was fully appointed & a nice thing to have to warm up dinners, etc. Oh, and one of my favorite things was being able to pop over to Starbucks every morning for a pumpkin chai & breakfast sandwich before heading to Glacier! There were just a couple of things that I can think of that might be helpful for people to know when staying in the Grizzly Den/other condo options here. Two of the bedrooms in the Grizzly Den--the king master bedroom & one of the other queen bedrooms--was along the same side that runs along the US 2 freeway. AKA it is VERY noisy! Tons of truck traffic & lots of gear-shifting & down-braking because there is a stop light right there. Also, some car racing and base thumping and obnoxious, loud exhausts from tricked-out cars. There was also a wreck around midnight one night, which was SO loud it woke me up and shook the building & bed!! Then 8 police cars with sirens showed up. Nothing necessarily something that ruined my stay, just something to know & pack your ear plugs. Last but not least, the ceiling fan in the master is very clacky & loud. There is only AC in the kitchen & living room, so it was definitely needed. Again, ear-plugs.

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.

Great base for Glacier NP. Room amenities were good. Lots of towels. Only down side was how noisy the a/c was in main area.

10/10 Exceptional

Great proximity to West entrance of Glacier. We rented a family apartment and it worked out great! Complementary laundry. Only thing that was bad was frying pans (as is usually the case in a rental- I’m sure it’s hard to keep them up) so I bring my own. Otherwise great rental .

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.

Property was ok except that internet and phine signals were really bad.
Abhishek, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Melissa, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

No air conditioning in bedrooms

This hotel was great except one very important thing! No air conditioning in the bedrooms. If you closed the door, for privacy, you roasted! We were miserable
