Summary: Spending a week in mid-October at the 3 Bear Basecamp blew our expectations out of the water. The slower pace of the park in the fall, and the fact that 3BB is just minutes from the west entrance, allowed us to maximize our time in Glacier while still having adequate time to wind down in the evenings and enjoy all the amenities of 3BB. The beautiful cozy living room, fully equipped kitchen, hot tub, and upper deck fire pit were some of our favorites. Watching the sunrise in the morning and full moon by night from the upper deck were moments that we will always treasure. Patty was an incredible hostess, providing hike recommendations and personalized tips that allowed us to get the most out of our Glacier experience. Cool temperatures, golden aspen and cottonwoods, and the peaceful stillness of snowcapped mountains (with mountain goats!) completely captured our hearts. We can’t wait to come back!!

Summary: We wish we had discovered 3BB earlier! We've been to GNP several times and this stay took our family vacation together to the next level. Being SO close to the park allowed us to pop in for a sunrise, sunsets and even the Northern Lights! We first spotted the Aurora Borealis dancing from the 3BB northern deck! With two decks, hammocks, summer kitchen, fantastic top-tier hot tub, porch swings....there were so many comfy places inside and out for our family to relax and converse. Btw, the super-fast wi-fi was even available around the huge outdoor wood-burning fire pit. The bunkhouse luxury glamping vibe was also a huge hit! Hanging out, playing games & star-gazing around the front deck fire pit was our favorite post-hike activity. Speaking of hikes, the host was like having our own personal travel consultant. They were quick to answer any and all questions & provided amazing tips and suggestions based on our travel goals. They introduced us to a few new tricks / places even though we have visited Glacier before. They even provide a phone consultation with us when we asked if that was possible. Just - WOW! Since discovering Three Bear Basecamp, the basic accommodations most often found this close to Glacier just won't do. This place feels like home and has everything and beyond for a quiet, enjoyable, comfortable stay and quick access into Glacier or into the valley for other activities. The kids did not want to leave. We could not recommend 3BB more.

Summary: I highly recommend Three Bear Basecamp! The location is ideal, just a few minutes from the entrance to Glacier National Park, and short drive to Kalispell and Whitefish. Yet you feel secluded in a quiet rural neighborhood, surrounded by woods, wildlife and scenic mountains in the distance! There is so much to explore in this area, yet you will find it hard to leave such comfortable lodging. It will exceed your expectations for a luxury northwest Montana cabin! It is tastefully decorated and fully stocked with every amenity you could possibly need. We enjoyed drinking our coffee on the deck in the morning and coming back after a full day of hiking to soak in the hot tub! The hosts truly went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. We brought a couple friends and our one-year-old with us. They provided basic baby things like a safety gate for the stairs, a highchair and children's books/toys. This is a location that the whole family will enjoy! Three Bear Basecamp gets 5-stars from us! Reach out to Patty if you need any recommendations or tips for hiking and exploring the Park. She knows every trail by name! My friends were able to drive over to Lake McDonald one night (just a few minutes away!) and catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. 3B Basecamp is your ticket to enjoy the wild majesty of West Glacier with all the comforts of home!

Summary: We recently had the pleasure of staying at Three Bear Basecamp and it was absolutely perfect! The property’s location, just outside the West Entrance, is ideal for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Glacier and it possesses the tranquility of a much more secluded spot. The cabin itself was immaculate, blending rustic charm with modern amenities. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need, making it easy to prepare meals, and the cozy living room with its large windows was the perfect spot to relax after a long day on a trail or in the kayak. The outdoor space was just as incredible. There was a fire pit where we gathered in the evenings to roast smores and enjoy the stars, and the deck was a great place to sip our morning coffee while listening to the sounds of nature. The location was close enough to Glacier that we could easily spend the day hiking and exploring, but far enough away from the crowds that we felt like we had our own private retreat. Our hosts were extremely thoughtful and responsive, providing detailed recommendations for local activities and ensuring our stay was nothing short of fantastic. They even left some thoughtful touches like a welcome basket with local goodies, which made us feel right at home. If you're looking for a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty, this is the place to stay. We can’t wait to return!

Summary: Beautiful, comfortable, and very well equipped house just outside Glacier Park. Most of the accommodations near Glacier are pretty basic, so this is a special find if you are looking for something with all the comforts of home. The location is greatβ€”just a few miles from the park entranceβ€”but feels very secluded and private. The house is one of the most well equipped I’ve ever stayed at: everything you need for cooking, food storage, extra bedding, towels, blankets, games, bug and bear spray, and baby essentials (great for us as we were traveling with a 10 month old). Patty sent lots of helpful information and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We loved enjoying the cool weather in the mornings and evenings on the patio and in the hammocks. Highly recommend!
victor m. Aug 10, 2024 10:20:37 PM
Summary: The house was perfect! It is incredibly close to the west entrance of GNP making it incredibly easy to visit the park. The house is equipped with everything you need to have a perfect vacation. The owners were so gracious and provided us with any information we needed. They even helped us out when we couldn’t get GTTS passes! I would highly recommend to everyone and We hope to get back there soon!

Summary: You simply can’t go wrong staying here. There are so many things to love about staying at Three Bear Basecamp. The home is amazingly clean, new and beautifully appointed with countless custom touches that provide comfort, convenience and luxury. The owners have literally thought of everything and incorporated it into this home. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook – both inside and outside. It even had large hot/cold thermoses for our use to take coffee and hot cocoa into the park in early mornings and late evenings. Both decks are amazing for seeing the stars or just relaxing, and the main deck is gigantic, extending the living space and making the home seem even larger than it is. Having strong and consistent internet was great for when I needed to get work done while in Montana, and the WIFI coverage both inside and inside the home was perfect. The home couldn’t be closer to the park, but on a small road of homes, all of which are on very large pieces of land, which makes the property amazingly quiet, peaceful and private. But the best thing about staying at Three Bear was the trip-planning help provided by the hosts/owners. Their knowledge of Glacier and the surrounding area, what to do, what trails to hike and lots of tips that helped us make the most of our limited time the Glacier area. You can tell they love this place and enjoy hosting and helping their guests enjoy what is truly one of the most amazing places on earth.

Summary: The best way to do Glacier National Park! The house was perfect for our family vacation with 3 families,11 people. The location, just outside of the park, was perfect for a pop-in or a full day of adventure! The hosts have thought of absolutely everything, from cooking gear, to outdoor kids games, to the perfect place to relax, to even including beach towels with bags for wet gear after a float down the river! The front porch was great for gathering, the fire pit perfect for smores, there was plenty of space to hang out together or to separate if a little quiet time was needed. In addition to the amazing house, the host also provided so many helpful tips and info about how to do Glacier! It was definitely a family vacation to remember!!!
Susan V. Jul 21, 2024 11:32:13 AM
Summary: Beautiful home and property that exceeds the online description . So many thoughtful touches & amenities. Patty was so helpful in helping us with park passes & suggesting activities.
Paul R. Jul 14, 2024 08:50:43 AM
Summary: Place was great. Location and amenities were exceptional. We would use it again for sure! The owners staying on the property in their RV should have be disclosed up front but was not an inconvenience to us.
