The property was perfect location to enjoy getting away from hustle&bustle of one of
most visited parks in the world. An easy 15
minute drive to West Glacier park entrance and only 25minute drive to extensive gourmet restaurants in Whitefish. The hot tub was just the ticket for post
hike aches&pains! The Chalet is small and layout a bit cumbersome. The top floor is steep&narrow ‘A’ frame with 2queen and one single bed and no bathroom. One queen bed in room with access through other room to get to stairs. I’m 5’8” and bumped my head accessing cabinets against 3.5ft side walls of ‘A’ frame ceiling. There were two rooms on upper level and small compared to luxurious master suite on ground floor. You have to walk down stairs and pass through master suite to access hot tub.. The stairs to upper level are narrow with 90 degree turn half way and last step at top is different higher depth. Sturdy hand rail was a must use going up and down. No doors on either stairs for privacy and noise control. The is no central heat or AC and window AC unit in one of upper level rooms prevented opening window for that fresh mountain air.
Entry from driveway to 2nd level 5 steps to door. Main floor total luxury but cramped if large party. We pushed some furniture to side to allow easier flow. Main level bathroom (for upper level Bedrooms) is next to entry and at top of stairs leading down to master suite, thus noisy if high use for master suite.
The Chalet has all the needed appliances(except no toaster!), a complete kitchen and comfortable furniture. All of beds were very high quality and NOT worn out! There arefabulous covered porches off main level and master suite level.
The owners were very attentive and helped us with a car problem above and beyond expectations!
Despite height limitations and bathroom access to upper level bedrooms, we loved the Chalet. If you’re a light sleeper looking for a quiet get away with a large party, this may not fit the bill.
For a small party you can spread out easily and this Chalet is the total package. A large party that would fill all beds would be cramped, but like they say in the vacation business>location-location-location. Loved the Chalet!
