Delightful cabin in the best possible location. We loved the eBikes. The hosts provided an online guest guide plus a whole notebook of helpful info and tips about the area and activities. The cabin is comfortable and inviting. The hosts have thought of every detail for a perfect stay.

Don is an incredible host and so responsive. Stand up paddle boards provided for the lake were a special highlight for us and our teenage sons. Lots of fun!
This is a wonderful place to stay when visiting Glacier. The cabin was very clean when we arrived and provided all of the amenities we needed for our stay. The location in Apgar Village is perfect. The best thing about the cabin is that it is a two minute walk to the coffee shop and one of the best views in the park, Lake McDonald! It's also on the west side so not far from Columbia Falls, Whitefish and Kalispell.Don also provides an app you can download to your phone with all the information about the cabin and plenty of information about the area and a guide for visiting the park. Highly recommend staying here on a visit to Glacier!

Tons of cool stuff for hiking biking. Cute cabin in the heart the apgar area. Loved it!
We loved this cabin! It had everything that we needed. Fully stocked from laundry room to hiking geer to the kitchen. We loved the location! We used the ebikes, kayaks and fire pit! So many fun memories were made!
Wow! We had a fabulous time in the park and took advantage of all the amenities at cabin. It couldn’t be better situated to enjoy all Wst Glacier has to offer. The Road to the Sun should not be missed. The cabin s perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring.
Glacier National Park is a must see. And to choose your home base, look no further. Easy access to all of the beautiful scenery on the west side of the park and conveniently located close to going to the sun road to connect you to the east side of the park. And Lake McDonald is right out your door! Puls you get all the fun shops and restaurants of Apgar when you aren’t exploring. Cabin is nicely appointed and has everything you need. Don’t pass it up!
If you are thinking about visiting Glacier National Park this is the place to stay, don’t delay in booking. The kayaks, standup paddle boards and the e-bikes oh what fun. It was also the little things backpacks, hiking poles, bearspray, bug spray, and sunscreen. We traveled from the East Coast and did not have to think about any of those things. What a treat to come back from a long day of hiking to all the comforts of home, the kitchen was stocked with everything you’ll need and the cabin is so clean and comfortable. All of Dons suggestions about the area and things to do was a bonus. He was an amazing host and communication was top-notch. It’s a great location and we will be back.
This was my first experience using VRBO and I was so impressed. Bear Tree Glacier had everything I could possibly need. It was beautifully decorated, so comfortable, relaxing and convenient. Just walk out the door and in 100 feet you're right there in Apgar village and about a minute from the shore of beautiful Lake McDonald. After one day I didn't want to leave and after ten days I really had a hard time packing up to leave. I spoke to the owners and they were really nice. They wanted to make sure that everything I needed I had. What a great gift not to have to deal with the long lines to enter the park. An awesome vacation!
The cabin was in great condition. Everything worked just fine. Location was perfect. Finding the cabin took a little time. Turn into the parking lot at Eddie’s Cafe, head down just a bit — cabin on right side.
Cabin was well stocked with hiking gear, but we preferred to use our own gear. Did use their bear spray though. Only saw black bears, no grizzlies
The bed was very comfortable. The cabin was very peaceful.
Don was extremely helpful, and organized in preparing our trip. We would love to stay here again.
Did a lot of driving - Going to the sun road, Logan’s Pass, St Mary, Many Glacier, Two Medicine, North Fork - Polebridge/Bowman Lake. Need to wake up early to secure parking spaces at the trailheads. example, arrived at Logan’s Pass at 6am.
Glacier National Park is incredible - did so many great hikes & spied so many wildlife.

Wonderful cabin with loads of amenities
This cabin is perfect inside. Wonderfully decorated and very clean. The screened in porch is lovely to enjoy the outdoors bug-free. It is in very central location. Close to everything, and loaded with amenities. We enjoyed the kayaks, only a few mins walk to the lake. The bikes were great too as the bike path is right out front the cabin. We loved the animal information session put on by park service right across the street at the nature center. So much to do in this location. There is a gift shop, restaurant and ice cream shop only 2 doors down. The only down side, is the location is very busy because of all there is to do there. During our stay the restaurant was building a 2 story addition and construction noises were heard from 630am to 530pm, which was challenging for us to relax. If you're looking for a place to be very busy and have everything at your fingertips, this is an ideal place. If you're looking for a secluded place for peace and quiet, it may not be a great fit.
Great cabin. Being inside the park definitely has benefits. Within walking distance to beautiful Lake McDonald and a short drive the several phenomenal hikes. Highly recommend.

Great cabin with ability to use house ebikes and canoes. Central location in Apgar but quiet. Great place to rest in between hikes, activities and exploring the area.

Spectacular cabin! Better than we expected. Very well stocked, the kitchen was full of everything you could need! We loved sitting on the screened porch, making s’mores around the fire pit after a steak dinner on the grill. The distance to Lake McDonals was beyond convenient. Communication couldn’t have been better and the cabin was so clean! If you want to be in the park this is where you want to be!

Perfect location - thoughtful amenities
We stayed with our two grown kids for a week and this was a perfect home base to hike throughout the park. Crossed the road to walk along the McDonald Creek to the lake every day before heading out to trailhead - easy to access all trails because we were already in the park. Crystal and Chuck provided everything we needed for hiking - backpacks, walking sticks, bear spray, first aid kits .... and a well-stocked kitchen to cook up dinner when we returned hungry and tired at the end of the day. We would definitely recommend Bear Tree and would certainly choose to stay here again.
Sisters from west, south, and east met for a week in Glacier and found this wonderful cottage owned by Crystal and Chuck. It was feet from Lake McDonald and we made sure to put the SUPs and kayaks to good use daily. The cottage was very well stocked with spices and condiments and paper goods. We just brought real food. We ate breakfast there daily, made sandwiches for a lunch hiking stop, and always had dinner from the propane grill. The firepit was lit and surrounded by the 6 of us every night. The hosts could not have been more hospitalable and we could not have had a better time together.

Wonderful stay!
Multigenerational family of 5 had a great vacation to GNP! Crystal was super responsive and Bear Glacier had everything we needed. She even bought a pack n play for my son to have a safe sleeping space. We were centrally located to everything in West Glacier and within steps of Lake McDonald. Definitely recommend!
This rental lived up to all the hype, it is in a simply perfect location and this cabin had everything you could need and more to enjoy the Lake and the western side of the park. The ability to use bikes, paddleboards and kayaks as well as all the hiking gear was a huge plus. We had a great stay for 3 nights exploring the great hikes of the Western half of Going to the Sun Road from here. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful GNP experience!
This rustic home is nestled in Apgar Village within Glacier National Park! The Bear Tree cabin was comfortable, clean, and quiet. We were within walking distance of the gift shops and restaurant. The bed was comfortable, in which I slept all night! There were three of us staying here and we had no problem with hot water. The bathroom was equipped with shampoo and conditioner. There is also a washer and dryer with laundry soap and dryer sheets. The kitchen was well equipped with EVERYTHING; coffee, spices, cooking oil, just to name a few. The wifi worked wonderfully. I was able to text the owner and she answered any questions very quickly, she even sent me pictures of what I should be looking for. There are kayaks, paddleboards, fishing poles, a fire pit, and backpacks equipped with bear spray, this goes above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Lake McDonald was within walking distance. The drive on Going-to-the-Sun road was beautiful and exhilarating, have your cameras ready!
