2 Miles to Going-to-the-Sun Road - Glacier NP – 8 Private Wooded Acres – Hot Tub | House in West Glacier
3 Bedroom House in West Glacier
Welcome to Three Bear Basecamp
Thank you for considering our home for your Glacier National Park vacation.
Finding a home this close to Glacier National Park's West Entrance—with the privacy of eight wooded acres, room for families and larger groups, and the comforts of home—is surprisingly rare. We've always tried to create a place where families can spend less time driving and more time experiencing Glacier together.
We've always believed Glacier National Park is one of those rare places that stays with you long after you've returned home. The mountains, lakes, and rivers are spectacular, of course, but it's often the quieter moments that families remember most—a child spotting wildlife for the first time, everyone laughing around the fire after dinner, coffee on the deck before the rest of the house wakes up, birdsong, a gentle breeze through the trees, aspen leaves dancing overhead, or simply slowing down for a while.
That's the kind of experience we've tried to create at Three Bear Basecamp.
Our home sits on eight private wooded acres approximately two miles from Glacier National Park's West Entrance. It's close enough that heading into the park for sunrise, coming home for lunch, or making one more evening drive along Going-to-the-Sun Road is easy. At the same time, it's tucked back among the trees in a quiet wooded neighborhood where the pace of life naturally slows.
Many guests tell us that pulling into the driveway feels like taking a deep breath after a full day of exploring. Several have even shared that they spent more time inside Glacier simply because coming and going was so easy.
Many of our guests are visiting Glacier for the very first time. Others are returning because they fell in love with the park decades ago. We truly enjoy welcoming both and sharing this special corner of Montana with them.
One of the things people appreciate most about staying here is simply having more time. Less time driving. Less time sitting in traffic. More time hiking, watching wildlife, sharing meals, or simply being together. It's a small difference on the map, but it often becomes one of the biggest advantages of the week.
Three Bear Basecamp was thoughtfully designed with families and friends in mind. The home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, always in real beds—never sofa sleepers or futons. There are inviting places to gather, along with quiet corners to read, soak in the hot tub, enjoy the forest views, or simply listen to the sounds of the seasons.
The kitchen is truly the heart of the home. We enjoy cooking, so we've equipped it the way we'd want our own family kitchen to be equipped. Whether you're packing lunches before an early hike or preparing dinner after a day in Glacier, you'll find the tools you need. Guests often tell us it's one of the best-stocked kitchens they've experienced in any vacation home.
Meals here tend to be relaxed and wonderfully informal. Six gather around the kitchen island while others enjoy the elevated deck table overlooking the forest or one of several outdoor dining areas. During Montana summers, families naturally drift between the decks, the yard, and the fire pit, keeping conversations going long after dinner is over.
One of our favorite parts of every Glacier day is coming home.
Someone starts the grill. Someone else gets the fire going. Kids disappear to play while the adults catch up on the day's adventures. Before long, everyone finds their way back together.
The lower-level bunkhouse has become a favorite with many families. Kids especially love the loft spaces, and parents appreciate having flexible sleeping arrangements that give everyone a little room of their own while still feeling connected.
The seasons each bring something a little different. Wild strawberries, hummingbirds often appear in May, Robins nest are built and beargrass blooms in June, huckleberries and thimbleberries ripen later in July, and August brings colorful wildflowers around the property. Spring and fall often bring elk quietly moving through the woods. Throughout the summer, mornings begin with birdsong, and for many years mother deer have chosen these woods to give birth and raise their fawns. Guests often share stories of spotting deer, foxes—including the occasional cross fox—pine martens, owls, and other wildlife during their stay. Wildlife is never guaranteed, which makes every sighting feel that much more special.
One thing we've learned is that no two Glacier vacations are ever exactly alike.
Glacier changes from season to season. Road access, wildlife closures, weather, construction projects, and park operations can all influence your plans.
One of our favorite parts of hosting is helping families make the most of whatever Glacier brings during their stay. Whether you're traveling with young children, grandparents, experienced hikers, or first-time visitors, we're happy to share ideas based on your family's interests and what's happening in the park that week. We don't believe there's one perfect Glacier itinerary. Every family is different, and we think every Glacier vacation should be too.
Guests often mention many of the same things in their reviews: how close the home is to Glacier National Park, how peaceful it feels after a busy day in the park, how well-equipped the kitchen is, spotting wildlife around the property, and how much they appreciated our local recommendations and having someone available to answer questions before and during their stay.
Those comments probably mean more to us than anything else.
We've never wanted Three Bear Basecamp to feel like just another vacation rental. We simply hope it's a place where families reconnect, make wonderful memories together, and leave with an even deeper appreciation for Glacier National Park and this beautiful corner of Montana.
If that sounds like the kind of Glacier vacation you're hoping for, we'd be honored to welcome you.
Bringing the Whole Family?
One of the advantages of having 8 private wooded acres is the flexibility it provides.
For select multigenerational gatherings, we may be able to accommodate one self-contained RV on the property by prior arrangement (additional fee and subject to all applicable Flathead County Short-Term Rental regulations).
This option has been especially helpful for families who appreciate having grandparents, adult cousins or another family unit nearby while still enjoying a little extra privacy. The RV accommodation is available only in conjunction with a Three Bear Basecamp reservation, requires advance approval, and is thoughtfully positioned so it does not impact the home's guest amenities or large outdoor gathering spaces.
If this might be a good fit for your family, we'd be happy to discuss the details before you book.
