A very nice and remote area. We stayed in the caboose and it was great. You are near the historic rail way so trains do run near but that did not bother us. The food at the tavern was very good and the portions were large.
Great stay overall! The room was clean, the staff was friendly, and everything was well-maintained. The only small downside was that the shower water could have been a bit hotter. Other than that, everything was perfect and I’d happily stay here again
A small place off the highway. Had a little kitchen next door and had a hot meal after a long day. Room was cozy. Only negative is trains do run behind the property in the middle of the night and the hwy is in in the front. We knew ahead of time and had ear plugs and slept great. Would definitely stay again
Secluded cabin, it was cozy. We were there during fall so we used ac during the day but there was no heat source in the room for the chilly morning. The staff there are awesome and the cafe has great Asian food. It’s a little pricey but given the location it was probably fair. I look forward to my next stay!

The room was clean but smelled musty. The road was noisy and the trains ran quite often but that can’t be helped.
We loved staying at Glacier Haven Inn. It is a family run business and they were so kind to us. The cabin was very cute and quaint. The cabin we stayed in didn’t have a bathroom but the bath house was right next store and very clean. I was impressed with how well maintained and clean everything was. It is very close to the Glacier east entrance, only about 15 minutes away. The restaurant on the property has very good homemade Chinese food as well. All around we loved our stay!
Average roadside motel. It is sitting in front of a rail switching yard. Although we heard no train whistles, there was train traffic all night. We were awoken about four times during the night. I would however stay again. Please replace the pillows.
