Great Cabin Near St. Mary's Glacier
We loved out stay! The house was cozy, clean, and well-maintained. We had just a few questions for the host and she was extremely helpful and quick to help us out. The hot tub was great, we loved the views, and enjoyed relaxing by the fire. Would love to come back again! We got engaged on our trip and having an awesome place to stay made the trip even more memorable!

Mountain get-away
The property is lovely, clean and remote. The home was comfortable and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a bonus after a day of hiking or driving! You can’t beat the location. Would recommend!

Summer Getaway
My wife and I stayed at Saint Mary's for a quick getaway. The home itself it beautiful and well appointed! The communication with the property manager is great and check in/out process is very well communicated and easily completed. The only issue we had with the stay is the location. The "neighborhood" is NOT nice at all. The road on which the home sits is very busy, all day and evening. there was construction of some type of going on next door during the day. There are absolutely no trees and no grass immediately surrounding the house, as the picture shows. It is nothing but dirt and weeds, providing absolutely no privacy from the constant people driving and walking past. Again, the home is small, but beautiful, but if you are looking to feel as though you are actually in the mountains when you walk out the door, this is probably not the place for you. If you want privacy, this is definitely not the place for you. While it does have room for 4 people to easily sleep, the one small bathroom and seating for 4 people in the living room would make it fairly uncomfortable, in our opinion, to have more than 2 adults in the home.

Adorable and very modern! This property was fantastic and just like the pictures! It does have AC even though the description says otherwise. There is also a washer and dryer to use. We had a small issue with the hot tub after coming back from a day of hiking, and it was resolved the next morning after we spoke to Julia. You should note a few things before booking, it is a bit of a drive up the mountain off of the interstate and sits a little above 10,000 elevation. Also, there is wifi on property but no phone service to make calls. Overall, we rate our stay with 5 stars! We made many day trips to see a large part of the state, and this was a central location to come back to at the end of the day to relax in the hot tub and soak after long days of hiking. Thanks Julia, we would definitely come back again to your adorable home!

Lovely cottage
My only complaint was the elevation. We were not prepared to be at 10,069 feet. Other than that, wonderful place to stay.
