Common Questions about Vacation Rental Homes

How do I book a home?

You can either make a booking directly on this website by using the "check availability box" to the left. Or you can call our office at 406-407-1383 and a receptionist will be glad to help you.

 

Is booking online secure?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway providers database. It will only be accessible by those authorized with special rights to such systems. They are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.

 

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. Or you can call our office at 406-407-1383 and a receptionist would love to help find a home that is just right for you and your pet. We highly recommend Glacier Bark Kennels 406-314-8106 in Columbia Falls should you choice to bring your pet with you. Glacier National Park is NOT a pet friendly park. 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.
 

 

2025 Glacier National Park Reservation Pass & Going to the Sun Reservation Ticketing System? Glacier National Park will once again implement a pilot vehicle reservation system in 2025, from June 13 to September 28, 2025, for the west side of Going-to-the-Sun Road and the North Fork. Visitors can begin making advance reservations on February 12, 2025. Reservations will be required from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. As in previous years, visitors may enter reservation areas without a reservation before or after reservation hours.  

New in 2025, the park will be piloting timed entry reservations for the west side of Going-to-the-Sun Road and the North Fork. Visitors will enter the park according to the time block they have reserved and can remain in the park for as long as they like on the day of their reservation. Visitors who miss their reserved time block can enter after 3 p.m. Multiple time blocks will be available between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. Additional information regarding time blocks will be announced in a separate press release.   
West Entrance    
One timed entry reservation per vehicle will be required to travel Going-to-the-Sun Road beyond the Apgar Village area from June 13 through September 28, 2025, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visitors can enter before 7 a.m. or after 3 p.m. without a vehicle reservation. Like previous years, visitors with lodging, camping, transportation, or commercial activity reservations can access their intended service within the Going-to-the-Sun Road reservation area with proof of their reservation. Only commercial reservations that originate beyond the Apgar vehicle reservation checkpoint and west of Logan Pass will provide entry in place of a vehicle reservation.

As a reminder, lodging, camping (including Fish Creek and Apgar campgrounds), and commercial activity reservations originating in Apgar will not provide access beyond the Apgar vehicle reservation check point. .         

North Fork    
One timed entry reservation per vehicle will be required at the Polebridge entrance station June 13 through September 28, 2025, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visitors can enter before 7 a.m. or after 3 p.m. without a vehicle reservation. A reservation is not required to access the community of Polebridge which is located outside the park entrance.  

Two Medicine Valley and St. Mary 
As in 2024, vehicle reservations will not be required to enter Two Medicine Valley or the St. Mary entrance to Going-to-the-Sun Road in 2025. Entry may be temporarily restricted at certain times of day (typically between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.) when areas become too congested. Visitors with service reservations (e.g., boat tours, lodging, horseback ride, guided hikes) in these areas will be permitted entry during temporary restrictions. 

Many Glacier Valley    
As the park has previously announced, the Swiftcurrent area of Many Glacier Valley will be closed to public access during the summer of 2025 due to ongoing construction. The closure will greatly reduce the amount of available parking in Many Glacier Valley. Many Glacier area will be under construction and private vehicles will not be allowed. A shuttle system will be provided for this area. Please see Glacier National Park webpage for updates regarding 2025 ticketing and entrance access.   

Vehicle reservations and entrance passes    
Vehicle reservations will only be available on Recreation.gov, the Recreation.gov mobile app, or through the Recreation.gov Call Center (Reservation Line: 877-444-6777). Each of the specified areas of the park will require a separate reservation. Visitors will need to set up an account on Recreation.gov to obtain reservations. The only cost associated with booking a reservation is a $2 Recreation.gov processing fee.    

Vehicle reservations will be available through two booking windows. 
A portion of reservations will be available 120 days or approximately four months in advance, starting on February 13, 2025, at 8 a.m. MST on a rolling basis on Recreation.gov. 
The remaining vehicle reservations will be available at 7 p.m. MDT for next-day entry starting on June 12, 2025.  
In addition to a vehicle reservation, each vehicle entering the park is required to have an entrance pass for any entry point into the park. These passes could include any of the following: a $35 vehicle pass, good for seven days; a valid Interagency Annual/Lifetime Pass; or a Glacier National Park Annual Pass. A vehicle reservation does not include an entrance pass, and the park entrance pass does not serve as a vehicle reservation.  Please see Glacier National Park webpage for updates regarding 2025 ticketing and access. Please visit Glacier National Park webpage for 2026 date releases and any changes to the 2025 reservation ticketing system. Updates for 2026 usually are annouced later in the 2025 year.

Please note: Should you not get a vehicle reservation ticket: You can still access park entrances before gates open for the day (7:00am) 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: 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.
