Right on the doorstep of Glacier National Park in the quaint gateway community of Coram, Fisher Cat Cabin is here to put you in the Glacier state of mind: enjoy a rustic vibe, laid-back atmosphere, and misty mountain views throughout. A cozy, intimate cabin with an open floor plan and a loft-style upper level, capable of housing up to 4 people. The lower level includes a kitchen, a small dining area (in addition to kitchen island seating), a living room and flat-screen TV, a half-bathroom equipped with a washer and dryer, and a pull-out sofa bed couch. Follow the spiral staircase to the upper level to find a queen-sized bed and a full, open-air bathroom. The wraparound patio includes a private hot tub, gas grill, and seating area. Guests have full access to the house, driveway, and outdoor space. Enjoy! Give us a holler any time with questions about trip planning, area recommendations, or anything you may need during your stay. Beyond that, we give you the space to enjoy your cabin and the surrounding nature in peace. 8 miles from Glacier National Park (Apgar / West Glacier gates) and close to the amenities of the towns of Coram, Hungry Horse, West Glacier, and Columbia Falls, this is the perfect location for exploring Glacier and the surrounding areas. *15 minutes to the entrance of Glacier National Park *12 minutes to the Hungry Horse Dam *1 hour to Polebridge *15 minutes to downtown Columbia Falls, MT *28 minutes to downtown Whitefish, MT *37 minutes to Kalispell, MT *40 minutes to Big Fork, MT Getting around: We find that guests are best able to explore Glacier and the surrounding areas by vehicle. Several of our guests also enjoy biking around the area and neighborhood (pro tip: Going-to-the-Sun Road opens exclusively to bikers in the springtime as they’re clearing snow, so spring is a great time to bring or rent a bike!). Winter driving: Our region is subject to heavy snowfall and icy conditions throughout the winter (and occasionally in the fall and spring), making for unpredictable driving conditions. If you’re planning to visit during the winter, consider snow tires, snow chains, and any other supplies you may want for winter conditions. Parking: Easily fit 2 cars parallel to the cabin along the main entry (with room for more if needed). Before you book, read on to learn about a couple of property quirks to make sure we’re the right fit for your outdoor adventure: While we made your cabin as comfortable as possible, we still are located in a remote area and encourage our guests to prepare for some rustic experiences. That can mean hot summers, drafty winters, or the occasional four-to-eight-legged friend around the property or grounds. We like to think of ourselves as an extension of the Greater Glacier Ecosystem, so it’s all part of the fun! In true Montana fashion, a very active train runs near the property; it's required to engage its horn when crossing the street and can be disruptive, especially to light sleepers. You'll find a white noise machine, fan, and earplugs in the unit to help with the sound. While we do offer WiFi, the speed of our Internet *may* take twenty years off your life (although we promise the restorative power of nature will put those years right back on). While we can assure you we’ve spent countless hours with every single ISP in the area and offer up the best we possibly can, the Internet may intermittently go out or run slowly. This cabin has spiral stairs that may be unsafe for small children or people with ambulatory limitations. Please note, too, that the upstairs bathroom is open-air (there's no door or wall separating the toilet, vanity, and shower from the bedroom). We have three other cabins on the same property, each with plenty of private space. The layout feels suburban-rural. For the safety of our guests, we maintain an outdoor security camera covering the entrance to the cabin. We like to keep an eye on bear activity on trash days, hazardous elements including fires and snow, and other precautionary measures to make sure that you have a safe and smooth stay. Winters here are beautiful, but they can be intense. Snow shedding from the roof and icy/snowy walkways can be dangerous and difficult to pass, particularly for people with ambulatory issues. We’re also subject to mountain snowstorms that can occur early in fall and well into the spring. Heavy, wet snow and regular freeze-thaw patterns intermittently result in extremely icy driveways and walkways here and around town--we recommend Yaktrax and 4x4 vehicles in winter. Fire season typically falls between summer and early fall in the area, so air quality may be unhealthy during this time, particularly among sensitive groups. While Glacier National Park is open year-round, several roads close during winter (typically beginning in the fall and ending in late spring or early summer). Visit the NPS website for more information on off-season services and closures. Our cabin and the public lands surrounding it are located on or near the ancestral homelands of the Amskapi Piikani (the Blackfeet Nation of Montana), the Niitsítapi (the Blackfoot Confederacy), the Séliš (Salish), Ql̓ispé (Pend d’Oreille or Kalispel), and Ktunaxa (Kootenai) tribes. Please travel responsibly and respectfully when visiting tribal lands and inform yourself of any rules, regulations, and permits before visiting. We hope you enjoy this neck of the woods as much as we do. Welcome to the greater Glacier region! To respect our community, fellow guests, and neighbors (plant and animal neighbors included!), we ask that our guests agree to a few house rules during their stay. Give us a holler with any policy questions or concerns you may have! Pets: Our pet fee is $20 per dog per night (for up to the first 3 nights, then after your third night, dogs stay free!). We can accommodate a maximum of two dogs (and dogs only at this time), but get in touch with us if you have a special circumstance. Let us know if you plan to bring your furry friend(s) along, and we’ll share our full policy. Hot tubs: Please read the hot tub rules posted in your cabin guide before taking a dip. Leave No Trace: Respecting public lands and waters, Native and local communities, and our property is important to us. Please leave what you find and dispose of waste properly. Garbage and Food Storage: Please secure the dumpster locking mechanism and secure your trash and food items to prevent wildlife break-ins. Northwestern Montana is a very active bear habitat (black and grizzly); trash break-ins put both your life and the life of the bear at risk. Fire Safety: Your cabin is located in a region extremely susceptible to wildfires. To prevent catastrophic wildfires, injury, property damage, and strain on our local fire department, we have a few rules: No fireworks on the grounds, observe local fire bans before making a bonfire, properly control and extinguish bonfires, turn off grills after use, do not leave grills or fires unattended, and obtain fire permits for any bonfires created on surrounding public lands. Quiet Hours: Quiet hours begin at 10pm and end the following morning at 8am. Extra Guests: We don’t permit extra guests beyond what’s listed in your cabin’s capacity max. If you plan to invite non-guests on site for any reason, please have your plans pre-approved with a member of our team. Events: At this time, we don’t allow guest events (such as weddings, parties, and so forth) on the property. We’re happy, however, to book your larger-sized group in one of the three neighboring cabins as long as you maintain respect and capacity numbers in each rental, keep noise levels to a minimum, and abide by our policies. Smoking: Our cabin is smoke-free, but if guests need to smoke, we ask that they abide by a few rules. Please get in touch with us for our policies covering where to smoke, cleanup, and violations. Early Check-In and Late Check-Out: At this time we’re unable to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs, but please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have a unique situation. Cancellation: Please contact us for more information on cancellation policies and refunds.
