Wonderful cabin to spend a few nights. Great hosts The property is absolutely lovely and exactly what you picture when you think of staying in a cabin on a lake in the Rockies. It’s cozy with thoughtful details. The wind was wicked the first night/day but enjoying coffee in the hot tub the second morning was delightful. The surrounding towns are wonderful and we enjoyed grabbing lunch there. There are so many nearby hikes in addition to the glacier and we did several which resulted in some incredible pictures. We are already organizing another trip to come back and cannot wait to stay here again! Bendix
