From the welcome basket waiting for you, to the fully stocked bar and rec room, we want you to feel like you are on vacation. From bathroom amenities like soap, shampoo and bubble bath, to the warm, cozy down comforters, we want you to feel like you are at home. With three bedrooms and a bunk room, Glacier Bear Retreat can easily accommodate 9 people. You will have special rooms for gathering together and cozy nooks for private time, in the perfect combination of indoor and outdoor living. In the more than 1,000,000 acres that comprise Glacier National Park, there are only 124 private landowners, and combined, these parcels equal less than 300 acres. Owning a home inside Glacier is rare and staying in one as a guest is even more so. The main floor contains the Great Room, the Dining Room, the Chefs Kitchen, the Lazy Bear Master Suite with private bath, a powder room, and a hallway with reading nook and library shelves. Most of these books came from the original Grist home and date back as far as the early 1800s. You are welcome to enjoy them with care while you are here. From the main level you can also easily access the screened porch for outdoor grilling, dining or simply relaxing. The upper level contains the Grist Room queen bedroom, the Bunk Room, a shared bathroom, and a small desk on the mezzanine above the Great Room. You will also find our complete collection of the classic Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series, as well as more recent novels, in the mezzanine bookshelf. The lower level Rec and Media Rooms are your recreation destination with a large flatscreen television, an Olhausen pool table and our beautiful custom built bar, showcasing local Montana spirits and beers as well as fine wines from California, Oregon and Washington. The Garden Room queen bedroom and a separate bathroom finish off the level. You can also experience Glaciers beauty just by walking outside from the main level. With a brand new hot tub, hammocks, a large fire pit, and even your own private island, outdoor living at Glacier Bear Retreat is as good as it gets. Upstairs or downstairs, indoors or out, you can be as connected as you want to be, whether that is not at all or in touch with family, friends, or others using our fast wifi network, our landline with unlimited US long-distance calls, or your ATT or Verizon mobile phone. Wintertime in Glacier is simply spectacular. From January 1st-March 15th when Grist Road is closed, take the 1/4 mile walk down the snowy lane to reach Glacier Bear Retreat and enjoy the solitude and beauty of this easily accessible, yet extremely private and secluded home. Most days you will have the park to yourself. Your private vista, watching the falling snow while sitting in front of a roaring fire, is simply incomparable. Read less
