"We were visiting GNP for the first time. This property was close to the park and had everything we needed. While there is no stove, a microwave oven is available. Grocery stores and gas stations were close by. Lester was very easy to contact and responded to our questions quickly. If you are looking for a place to stay while visiting the area, be sure to consider this location. You won’t be disappointed."

"Place was nice and clean, a bit short on the extras like a toaster, a cutting board, and the stove top was very slow to heat. Internet was spotty at best but that seems to be most of the area. Spacious place in a campground."

Elk Willows Home -Wildlife & Breathtaking Views-Minutes to Glacier East Entrance

10/10 Excellent
"This place has it all-it’s in a great setting with natural beauty, horses and farm animals. It is a spacious home with room for all 5 of us to spread out, with a deck area where we could hang out (we enjoyed the lunar eclipse and the star gazing was amazing), a well appointed kitchen where we cooked 2 dinners, and incredibly friendly hosts who made us feel very much at home. We enjoyed the quiet for sleeping as well as the access to Canada. We traveled to Waterton Park and were also within 15-20 minutes of the east entrance to Going to the Sun Road. I would highly recommend the Elk Willows property!"

"This cabin was beautiful and comfortable. The pictures in the listing don’t do it justice. The grounds are so open, with picturesque views, you feel like you’re all alone on the mountain. Very convenient to East Glacier and Waterton Lakes. Perfect place to stargaze and watch the moon rise over the mountains. The morning visits from the cows were a plus. Would love to stay here again."
