About this house rental
Welcome to Three Bear Basecamp, a private forest retreat just 2 miles from the West Entrance of Glacier National Park. Set on 8 quiet, wooded acres, this guest-favorite home offers the rare balance of true peace and privacy with incredibly easy access to one of America’s most spectacular parks.
Many guests describe arriving as a “deep exhale”—leaving the highway behind, winding through the trees, and realizing just how quiet it is. Despite being minutes from Going-to-the-Sun Road, the home is intentionally positioned away from traffic, congestion, and park noise, making it a place you genuinely look forward to returning to after full days in Glacier.
Designed for families and groups, Three Bear Basecamp comfortably sleeps up to 12 with real beds only—no futons or sofa sleepers—making it an ideal home base for memorable Glacier adventures and restful Montana nights.
DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES & GROUPS
Three Bear Basecamp is ideal for multigenerational families, reunions, and groups of friends traveling together. The home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests using real beds only—no futons or sofa sleepers—so everyone rests well after long hiking days.
Guests consistently mention how valuable the location is: close enough to pop into the park for sunrise, sunset, or stargazing, yet far enough away to return for meals, naps, or a quiet evening without losing time to traffic. This proximity is especially appreciated by families with kids and groups balancing adventure with relaxation.
WHY GUESTS LOVE THREE BEAR BASECAMP
• Unmatched Location: Less than 2 miles from Going-to-the-Sun Road—about as close as you can get without staying inside the park
• True Peace & Privacy: Quiet, wooded setting with frequent wildlife sightings and epic dark Montana night skies
• Thoughtfully Equipped: Guests often say the home “has everything—and more,” from kitchen essentials to outdoor comforts
• Exceptional Outdoor Living: 600 sq ft deck, multiple firepits, hammocks, swing set, outdoor kitchen, and a premium 6-person hot tub
• Reliable Comfort: Central A/C, fast Wi-Fi throughout the property (even outside), softened reverse-osmosis water, and a full-house backup generator
A HOME THAT FEELS LIKE HOME
The chef’s kitchen—featuring a gas range, double ovens, and generous counter space—is designed for real cooking and shared meals. Many guests note that it’s one of the best-equipped kitchens they’ve experienced, making it easy to prepare everything from quick breakfasts to family dinners enjoyed on the deck.
Inside, the home is spacious, beautifully finished, and intentionally laid out with both gathering areas and quiet retreats. Guests frequently comment that it doesn’t feel like a rental—it feels like a well-loved home, thoughtfully prepared for comfort and ease.
GUEST-FAVORITE BUNKHOUSE
The separate bottom-level bunkhouse is a highlight for families and groups. With flexible sleeping arrangements, lofted spaces, and its own entrance and summer kitchen, it gives kids, cousins, or friends a place of their own while keeping everyone connected. It’s often described as “glamping-level comfort”—fun, practical, and surprisingly spacious.
NATURE, DARK SKIES & SIMPLE JOYS
In season, guests enjoy picking huckleberries and wild strawberries right on the property. Mornings often begin with coffee on the deck and birdsong in the trees. Evenings are spent soaking in the hot tub, gathering around the fire, or watching the stars—and occasionally even the northern lights—emerge in Montana’s famously dark skies.
Despite the peaceful setting, you’re just minutes from Glacier trails, the Wild & Scenic Flathead River, Whitefish, Columbia Falls, and local favorites.
THOUGHTFUL HOSTING & LOCAL INSIGHT
Guests frequently mention the personalized recommendations and trip-planning guidance we provide, helping them make the most of their time in Glacier—especially when navigating park passes, timing, and trail choices.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Three Bear Basecamp offers something increasingly rare near Glacier National Park: the ability to maximize your time in the park while returning each night to true quiet, comfort, and privacy. Guests consistently say it exceeds expectations—and many plan their return before they leave.
IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT?
This home is ideal for guests who value quality time, nature, local insight, and a peaceful setting close to Glacier. It is not a party house and may not be the best fit for those seeking nightlife or walkable town amenities.
PROPERTY & SAFETY NOTES
For transparency, outdoor security cameras and motion-activated lighting are installed in driveway and exterior ingress/egress areas only. There are no cameras inside the home or in private guest spaces.
A recreational vehicle (RV) is stored behind fencing on the far side of the 8 wooded acres. During summer, it may occasionally be occupied by the owners or a caretaker. This area is fully separate from guest spaces, with no shared outdoor living areas. Guest privacy is very important to us, and all amenities are exclusively for guest use.

Three Bears Basecamp is a great homebase for exploring Glacier National Park! The hosts are friendly and responsive, and provided concierge level assistance when planning a trip here. We were impressed with the beautiful private woodland surrounding the property. They have great amenities like a picnic pavilion, outdoor kitchen and grill, hot tub, fire pits and cozy outdoor living spaces. The inside is spacious and the pictures don’t do it justice! It’s even better in person! It’s lovely and tastefully decorated, just what you would expect for a place in Montana. The kitchen is well equipped to make gourmet meals for the entire family. The bunkbeds for the kids are so much fun! Only 1 mile from the West Glacier entrance, this place is ideally located to go back and forth into the park as well as to all the family friendly activities available nearby. I can see us spending year after year in this gem of a place! Thanks to the owners for providing this unique and comfy place where we got to create memories with the family! We will be back!

Our stay at 3 Bears Base Camp was perfect. The property was well located near the west entrance to Glacier National Park. The accommodations were beautiful and could not have been cleaner or better equipped. It had everything we needed and more. The home is beautiful with wonderful finishes, comfortable furnishings and welcome beds after a long day of hiking. We found good restaurants nearby and even cooked dinner in one night to enjoy the decks and peaceful surroundings and relax at 3 Bears Base Camp. Patty was a wonderful host and provided excellent resources and advice for exploring GNP. I highly recommend this property for a family and/or adult couples looking for a fun and relaxing property well located near GNP.

A fantastic place to relax and a wonderful base to explore Glacier National Park! My husband and I recently spent five days with a group of friends at Three Bear Basecamp. What a unique property! The owners have made this place feel like you’re arriving at a nature lodge but with every convenience you would desire. There is AC (although mostly not needed), WIFI, TVs (did not use because so much else to do), everything you want in the kitchen, a fire pit, a hot tub (great for after a long hike), and other extras too numerous to list. There are also plenty of outdoor patio and cooking options for enjoying the cool evenings and a lot of fun space for the kiddos to play outside, including a swing set and playhouse. If you’re lucky, you’ll even see the deer that regularly wander through Three Bear Basecamp!We could tell how much thought went into choosing every detail, including the artwork, which portrays beautiful vistas and the amazing history of this part of Montana.If you’re there to explore Glacier National Park (and who wouldn’t be) you will not find a better jumping off point. Less than two miles from Going to the Sun Road at the west entrance into Glacier National Park. We were there in minutes. This, combined with the host’s help as we put together our plans for our visit, allowed us to make the very most of our time in and around Glacier.

Glacier National Park was the highlight of our family of seven’s (5 kids ages 3 – 12) cross-country road trip, thanks in large part to the comfort, amenities, trip planning help, and convenience provided by Three Bear Basecamp. The location couldn’t be better. It’s so close to the west entrance of Glacier that we could pop into the park for a quick sunset drive or a little stargazing. The property is incredibly peaceful—perfect for unwinding after a big day on the trails. We loved grilling out while watching a mama deer and her two fawns wander by. The kids had a blast with the swing set, sandbox, playhouse, and other toys, while adults appreciated the hot tub under the stars.A lot of thought went into the design of the home giving it so many thoughtful touches and “soft spaces” inside and out—places to gather as a family, but also spots to retreat, read a book, pick huckleberries, or just have a little quiet time. Its great WiFi (even outside) made it easy to stay connected with work when needed.John and Patty were full of fantastic suggestions for making the most of our time in the park and for other stops on our road trip. They even helped us snag tickets to the Logan Pass Star Party! It’s so clear they truly care about their guests having the best possible experience, and their hospitality made a great trip even better.We’re already talking about visiting again. This place is a gem. Thank you for everything!
