Grandpa's Cabin ~

A great Montana feel!

This cabin has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and is capable of sleeping up to 8 people in beds. There is access to your own private beach just across the road on Lake 5 with a dock.

Just minutes from your front door are countless family activities, some of which include: Glacier National Park hikes, sight seeing, whitewater rafting, fly fishing, horse back riding, helicopter tours and fine dining. This is a great home base to spend a few days in Glacier or just relax by the water.

Fall trip
We stayed at grandpa’s cabin for five nights, good location to glacier national park. Quaint and clean cabin. Perfect for the two of us. If staying at the cabin with children or another couple, the second bedroom has three full beds, but would need to walk through the master bedroom to get to anything else in the cabin, such as the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. There is a door if you want to walk outside and come in the front door to avoid walking through the master.

Great spot in the woods near Glacier with a swimming lake!
Perfect spot, very close to Glacier National Park, maybe a 5 minute drive to the west entrance. Very woodsy and rustic, like a campground, with a beautiful lake with a private dock, perfect for jumping in & swimming. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, etc., and it was great to have a washer & dryer with laundry detergent provided by the host. Ryan, the host, was very responsive, which we really appreciated. There were a ton of gnats/fruit flies inside when we arrived. Ryan did come and help when we reached out to him and that issue improved. The three beds in the one room were perfect for our 3 boys but when we arrived we noticed there were fresh sheets on the bed but not pillowcases (just the decorative ones that match the bedspread). Luckily I found extra pillow cases in the closet and felt better about that. Also the floor mats in the kitchen and bathroom were damp when we arrived, which probably did not help the gnat situation. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location and rustic vibe were great, and the kids LOVED the lake. The fire pit area was nice too but we weren’t able to use it because of fire restrictions. We did sit out at the table and were not bothered by bugs at all, even through dusk. If not for the gnats it would have been absolutely perfect. there is no tv but the internet works well. you need to walk through the main bedroom to get to the other bedroom which has the 3 beds. Could probably use a deeper cleaning (floors, bedspreads). overall great stay!

Great getaway
This was a great property to stay at for a base to GNP. Even if we hadn’t planned spending a majority of time at GNP, this would have been a great place on the lake. Ryan was great to work with. He made sure he kept us informed of fire restrictions and changes with the reservation system at GNP. He really went above and beyond. Thank you!

Glacier Cabin
This cabin is in the absolute perfect location to explore Glacier National Park. The dock on Lake 5 is really amazing! Unfortunately, the week we were there the gnats inside the cabin were terrible. We reached out to the property manager and he did respond by email but did not attempt to help with the issue. We ended up purchasing and putting up fly strips on our own. We caught hundreds of gnats with these. This helped some but in the evenings the gnats would still swarm your face. It really impacted our comfort and happiness with the stay.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan McDermott

Host profile image
Our family grew up in Shelby, MT and used to spend family weekends at the Lake 5 resort. We bought our first summer cabin on Lake 5 in July of 1984 and have been enjoying Lake 5 and Glacier National Park ever since. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We bought this property in 1985, and our Gandpa lived there year round for many years. For the past 15 years we have been able to share this place with many family and friends over the years building many priceless memories.

What makes this property unique

This home is a great place to get away from the fast paced world and relax in one of the most beautiful areas of MT. Our rustic home has a private beach on Lake 5, and is within minutes of whitewater rafting, fly fishing, hikes, restaurants, helicopter tours, and all that Glacier National Park has to offer.
