Can I bring my pet with me? Is Glacier National Park a pet friendly park?

Our rentals are not pet friendly homes or cabins. Please consider leaving your four legged family member at home when traveling to Glacier National Park. Glacier National Park has many rules regarding pets in the park. Please note: pets are not allowed on the trails inside Glacier Natioanl Park. You can either look at our properties online by clicking on the "vacation rentals" tab above and see if the home you are looking at allows pets.

Pets are not allowed on trails inside the park.

 

What are the benefits of a vacation home rental?

Our vacation homes are stocked in such a way that you always feel like you are coming "home" to your "vacation home" rather than returning to a small hotel room. Our homes have full kitchens or kitchenettes, with some homes having game rooms, hot tubs and BBQ grills. You will be able to enjoy a full service home while you are on vacation rather than a small, cramped hotel room.
 

 

Glacier National Park Reservation Pass & Going to the Sun Reservation Ticketing System? Glacier National Park made some recent changes to their access to the scenic Going to the Sun road located inside Glacier National Park. This year will be the fourth year with a new vehicle reservation ticketing system that is required to access the Scenic Going to the Sun road from May 24th- September 8th for 2024. Reservation tickets are required to access every entrance inside the park including Bowman/Kintla Lakes past Polebridge Ranger Station (any trails after the entrance) Camas Road Entrance on the North West side of the park and Many Glacier Entrance.  The first round of tickets 120 -day Tickets go on sale starting January 25th, 2024. East Glacier Entrance via St. Mary's and Two Medicine Lake area will not require a reservation ticket. Please see Glacier National Park webpage for updates regarding 2024 ticketing and access.
Please note: Should you not get a vehicle reservation ticket: You can still access park entrances before gates open for the day (6:00am) and after they close for the day (3:00pm) without a ticket. You can also access the East side of the park entrance with no vehicle reservation ticket. You can also hike or bike through any entrance without a ticket. Please note: The west entrance may or may not have construction. However, this could change at anytime. Please check with the park for any updates. 
Please Note: These tickets do not guarantee you a parking spot at Logan's pass or any public parking inside the park. Expect crowded parking and full lots at Logan's pass and Avalanche Lake/Cedar of the Trails hike. You will want to plan for a very early or much later day if you wish to park at these locations.

Everyone is required to have a National Parks Pass to enter any entrance of the park. You can purchase these in advance or when you arrive to the park.
