Best Mountain Views: Polebridge Cabin (Cover Photo)

Polebridge is a remote, seasonal town in the northwest corner of Glacier National Park. This area of the park is one of the lesser visited parts so you’ll enjoy majestic mountains and scenic vistas without the crowds you would normally experience in the rest of the park.

This cabin is the perfect wilderness getaway and it boasts the best mountain views of all the vacation rentals on this list. The 2-bed 1-bath cabin has everything you could need for an adventurous getaway in the mountains, all in one of the most beautiful places in the country.

Best Lake Access for Couples – Bitterroot Lake Carriage House

This 1 bedroom Carriage House gives you access to 150 feet of shoreline on Bitterroot Lake. The water is so crystal clear that you can count the fish and rocks below the floating dock (which is also a perfect spot for jumping into the water!)

The owner also provides a floating swim dock, canoe, sit-on-top kayak, pedal boat, life vests, and a fire pit. There’s no shortage of fun lake activities, plus you’re within day trip distance from Kalispell, Whitefish, and Glacier National Park.

Best Luxury Lake Front Stay – Flathead Lake

This vacation rental is easily the most luxurious on this list. Not only is the view incredible but the house is amazing as well.

The lake out the front windows is Flathead Lake, which is one of the most beautiful lakes in the country. The water is cold and clear, making it perfect for water activities.

Access the water from the private pebble beach and paddle on the water to three different restaurants within the town.

Best Winter Vacation Rental – Ski In/Ski Out in Big Sky

Big Sky is one of our favorite places to go snowboarding  – it’s STUNNING!

With this vacation rental, you can access all of Big Sky’s terrain via the Iron Horse and Pony Express Lifts, then ski back home from a great day on the slopes.

The view is one of the best you can get in Montana and the hot tub is just what the doctor ordered after a long fun day outside.

Best for West Glacier National Park – On the Shores of Lake McDonald

There is no better place to stay when visiting the west side of Glacier National Park than INSIDE the park boundary. You are literally steps away from the famous Lake McDonald and have a private rock beach.

This is a great home base for exploring the western side of Glacier National Park. Both Apgar Lookout and Avalanche Lake are INCREDIBLE nearby hikes.

Most Unique Montana Vacation Rental – Floating House on Flathead Lake

Flathead Lake is a beautiful summer destination, and what better way to experience it than staying directly on the water?

Plus, it’s perfect for large groups because it can sleep up to 12 people!

Best For East Glacier National Park Access

Even though West Glacier is a much more popular part of the park, East Glacier is home to some of the greatest adventures in the western United States.

This beautiful property sits on a ridge with stunning panoramic views of the park’s east side – it’s hard to beat!

For the Fly Fisherman (or Woman) – Ranch Guest House on the East Gallatin

This beautiful ranch guest house is only steps from the East Gallatin River.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more memorable and authentic cabin experience.
