stayed here on 7th Oct 2011. got the 2 Bears cabin. We reached there later than the pre-arranged time with the owner. Was surprised that the owner was not around, however, she stuck the key and a note to the cabin on the office door. But she came to the cabin around the evening and checked out on us and gave us some info of the area. Coz the resort was away from the village.

The cabin was great. however the cooking utensils were not that great. there was a man-made fireplace in the cabin and it was awesome coz that day was raining and it was really cold. with the fireplace it warmed up the entire cabin.

In the morn, we woke up to a terrific scenery outside the cabin.

I believe this was either the third or fourth time staying at this property. The difference this time though was a change in ownership.

Starting with our arrival, when we got there at 700PM on a Friday night in late August, no one was available to check us in. Thank goodness our daughter was ahead of us or we could not have gotten into the room. Next, when I followed the instructions for contacting the night person (to get a key), there was no one on the property.

The following day, we had no maid service or even my garbage taken out. Again, when I followed the process, no one one from management was available.

The following day, I again tried to contact the owner and they were still not available - I was told by a very junior person from the whitewater company that the owner had approved giving us complimentary glass of whiskey from their distillery. Since I don't drink whiskey this was a rather empty apology for never being available or providing the service they had charged for.

While the cabin was fine, the ownership is definately not on the property. Additionally, I was quite surprised that I never really got an apology or explanation for why they were never available. Bottom line - for $300 a night, things should work and people should be available

Very disappointed

After we stayed at the Glacier run properties in the park we were relieved we had found Great Northern. The cabins while older share no walls so they are completely quiet. Small kitchen was handy for breakfast and we grilled out with our own grill one day after a tired day of hiking. The staff were friendly and there was a campfire, sing a log with s'mores one night. Literally a minute from West Glacier park. We also did the 1/2 day raft trip with dinner. It was great fun and well organized. The food was shockingly amazing.

Highly recommend compared to the more expensive and lower quality hotels/motels in the area and in the park.

2 Bears cabin was great, plenty of room for 4. The view of the mountains was beautiful. The cabin was very cute and everything was in good shape. Lots of big fluffy bath towels. No problem cooking, kitchen was well equiped. No oven, but the burners worked fine and the gas grill was great. Also had toaster, microwave and coffee pot. It was quiet and relaxing. The train and street noise were minimal. Stop in Columbia Falls to grocery shop. The closer store in Hungry Horse is very limited.
