Bear Creek Guest Ranch

If you’re looking for a quaint lodging experience, you will love Bear Creek Guest Ranch. It’s a family owned/operated ranch with 5 small cabins, horses, and 40 acres of land to explore. It is nestled between the National Forest and Glacier National Park, about a 15 minute drive to East Glacier. Dusty, Indi, and Bill immediately made us feel at home upon arrival. The cabin was a comfortable studio style layout and essentials were provided- heat, towels, and a soft bed. It’s nothing fancy, it’s rustic and cozy, perfect to come home to after a day of exploring the park and enjoying dinner. I recommend ending the day with a cocktail on your cabin front porch, soaking in the quiet and the view before taking a warm shower and getting a good nights sleep so you can do it all again the next day. A homemade breakfast and coffee were available in the main/check in/lobby cabin every morning at 8:30 am. I highly suggest you don’t miss breakfast, it’s a delicious spread. They also gave us fantastic recommendations for planning our day, preparing a route, providing a map, and helping us prioritize what we wanted to see and do, complete with shopping and eating recommendations. If you love animals, you’ll be in heaven with the two property St. Bernards, Dixie and Diesel, and cat Harry (Hariett), who will belly up for pets. If you’re lucky enough (and if you want her to) she will curl up at the end of your bed for the night. We came from FL and would definitely be repeat customers!

The cabins were really cute and cozy. The hosts (Bill, Diana, Dusty, and Indy) were all so welcoming and helpful. We opted for the horseback ride on our last day and Bill, John and Dan were amazing! They made sure we were all safe and took frequent breaks ensuring safety for the horses as well. They served a delicious family style homemade breakfast each morning. They even had a binder in each cabin with lots of helpful info about the area and glacier national park. To top it all off, we got to love on their doggies, Dixie and Diesel, after breakfast each morning and while they were outside!

Loved my stay in the Lodgepole cabin! A perfect quiet spot to relax and reset. Simple furnishings, clean, cozy bed and a family style breakfast available in the main lodge every morning. Views were beautiful and getting to pet the horses on property was an amazing bonus! If you’re looking for a family owned place where they call you by name, this is it. I can’t wait to come again <3

Homemade breakfast each morning was delicious! Dusty and Indi were perfect hosts. They communicated everything we needed and were easy to get in touch with. We enjoyed horseback riding with John and the trail was beautiful. Loved our stay and would definitely go back again.
