About this chalet rental

Nestled in Glacier National Park, this lovely chalet for $465 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Glacier Ridge Chalet is a two story style home, built on an acreage on Hudson's Bay Divide Ridge overlooking St. Mary Lake. The chalet is positioned on a scenic overlook point on land settled by Jack Wagner in early 1900’s and is based on a private 180 acre land parcel. This home is one of the most unique hand crafted dwellings in the Babb/St. Mary area. Amazing local wildlife that will make it feel like your own private zoo. The highlight is a hot tub with a 270° view of Glacier Park, the Rockies and Chief Mountain and dark sky for star gazing and contemplation. The area is a wildlife corridor with elk, deer, moose, horses, and bear frequently observed right outside your door, from the hot tub or the over-sized fire pit area. This is a great venue for a peaceful vacation or for multiple families to connect. The Glacier Ridge chalet has 3 rooms that can sleep 8. The downstairs bedrooms have twin bunks over the lower queen beds. The chalet is child friendly and situated completely off leash. There is a sofa and air mattress which sleeps 2 more. The upstairs area is handcrafted wood with ample seating for all guests with 300° of window expanse that allows viewing of the entire Babb/St. Mary area. There is a small upper deck for animal viewing and star gazing. The chalet is located in a Dark Sky zone allowing for incredible start gazing and occasional viewing of the Northern Lights to the North in late summer through the fall. Glacier Ridge is 1 km down a private road from the renowned Duck Lake Lodge. The lodge offers a full restaurant, pizza oven and road house bar with local entertainment a few nights during the week. Glacier Ridge is located 5 km outside of Babb and 12 km outside of St. Mary. Cellular coverage is by both Verizon, Rogers and limited AT&T networks. The Chalet is on the West side of Divide Ridge and overlooks the West Rockies. Spectacular Sunset viewing location.

5-star views. Grill was very good. Lots of house flies dead and alive. Literally hundreds. We vacuumed them up for an hour first day. Only half hour second day. And 15 mins day 3. Place had a stale smell to it. And a weird cubby hole in one bedroom covered by a towel. The two lower level bedrooms were tiny with bunk beds. Upstairs was nice but stale and flies. Even with this we had a very good stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It is like a luxurious log cabin, the pictures don’t do it justice. Clean, modern, and comfortable with magnificent views. Loved the hot tub especially after a cold rainy horseback trail ride. Definitely get groceries before checking in or make a 30 min drive to the nearest store. The only problem was I wish we had more time to stay there.

This lovely and secluded property is located on a ridge with unobstructed stunning views of GNP - Chief mountain and peaks and valleys of Many Glacier and St Mary’s. Multiple fun spots to enjoy the magnificent vista - the rocking chairs on the porch, the viewing platform, the beautifully designed upstairs sitting area, and the hot tub! This home is inviting and immaculate with all the needed amenities and comforts - we cooked breakfast for 4 adults and 3 teens and returned home after hiking to grill steak dinner. It was really an easy process to book with Jon who responded immediately. We would love to return next summer and stay longer!

Loved our time in this beautiful location. Close to East Glacier park entrances (St Mary and Many Glacier) and restaurants, yet set in nature to enjoy the vistas, night sky and hot tub after active days. Thank you Jon.

Our stay at the Glacier Chalet was fantastic. We were there for a week in July with a large, adult family group. It was clean, lots of the basics were already there (soap, laundry/dishwasher detergent, lotion, condiments, spices), and I don't think you'd find anywhere with a better view! We also got to meet Jon when he was there working on another cabin, and he was super nice. The upstairs living room in particular was much bigger than it looked in the listing pictures. Downstairs bedrooms are small, but we didn't spend much time in there between hiking, the hot tub, and sitting on the porch. The only thing we had trouble with was the heat on the 95 degree days, which I'm sure is unusual for the area. The AC is just a portable unit upstairs. Most of the cooling probably came from opening the windows as it cooled down at night. Wasn't a huge problem and there were no issues on the 70-85 degree days. Just something to consider if you have a family member with a health condition that wouldn't do well in heat. There were already two bear sprays at the cabin, although one was a bit out of date. We left two more so hopefully the next people will be all stocked up. Really can't recommend this place enough. I don't think you'd find anywhere better to stay at Glacier with a big group.

Absolutely spectacular property and house to use as your base camp for all things Glacier NP and surrounding areas. Jon the very friendly owner is close by on site and very easy to communicate with and really wants to make sure you have everything you need for the best possible stay. Only 20 minutes from the entrances to Many Glacier and St Mary’s, and some fun little local restaurants in the area including the Duck Lake Lodge on the same road as the property is on. Wonderful abundant property that we and our dogs loved to explore. Can’t wait to come back!
