Babb Cabin | Beautifully Restored Historic Guest Cabin of the Park Saddle Horse Company

2 Bedroom Cabin in Babb

This idyllic cabin, known locally as "The Gingerbread House" for its quaint appearance, was originally built as a lodge for guests of the Park Saddle Horse Company on the -X6 Ranch during the heyday of travel by horseback. Newspapers stuffed into the cracks around the original windows put the date of construction at around 1938, which would make it the newest building on the ranch! The Park Saddle Horse Company was the sole concessionaire for travel in the park before widespread use of the automobile, and the -X6 was renowned as the largest horse ranch in the world with over 2,000 head and 20,000 acres.
Situated just west of the west shore of Duck Lake, the cabin (named by the original Noffsinger ranch owners for its magnificent views of Chief Mountain) is located just 5 miles from Babb (heading towards the entrance to Many Glacier) and 12 miles from St. Mary (the main entrance to Glacier National Park on the Going-to-the-Sun Road). Duck Lake is just a stone's throw away and no slouch in the scenic or fishing departments, either!
Lovingly restored by the owners in 2017, the cabin's interior maintains the exterior's rustic charm with all the modern amenities of home. Brand new insulated windows are trimmed with tongue and groove boards removed from the walls when exposing the original chimney. Hardwood floors cover all the rooms and hallways with the exception of new tile in the bathroom. All brand new fixtures in the bathroom and kitchen replace some of the more chic renovations of the 1970s!
The cabin's living area features a brand new energy efficient propane stove that will keep the whole place toasty, while each bedroom and the bathroom have individual thermostats and heat sources for the comfort of our guests. An attic fan keeps the space below nice and cool on the hottest summer days. The kitchen features an oak table and chairs, refrigerator, microwave, brand-new downdrafting jenn-aire range and large, easy-to-use sink. The living room has two of the comfiest rocking recliners you've ever enjoyed.
The bedrooms feature brand new beds and mattresses- the master has a platform queen bed and the bunk room features a pair of twins. Each room has USB outlets built into the electrical sockets for easy phone charging. Every room has windows facing out to Glacier National Park and the Rocky Mountain Front. The living room features a wall of windows facing out towards the unmistakable form of Chief Mountain rising above the ranch's old tack barn.
If you're looking for privacy, fabulous views, and all the comforts of home then this historic cabin overlooking the Backbone of the World will surely satisfy your needs!
(There is NO WIFI at the cabin, although a jetpack/mifi device on the Verizon network could work for you if you bring one, but we can't guarantee 4G speeds all the time.)

Summary: Very comfortable historic cabin in a quiet neighborhood with views of Glacier National Park. Peaceful and safe away from the fray and traffic and a quick drive to St Mary’s entrance; it is a great jump off point. Our host was wonderful and the one time we reached out for some direction he responded immediately. We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend the cabin. Thank you for a great place to stay. We will stay with you again! Linda and Eric

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at this property a few weeks ago. It was perfect for my wife and I and our two adult children. The cabin is bigger than it appears on the photographs. Beautifully restored with nice understated modern comfort. The bedrooms are ample size with room for suitcases and moving around. The bathroom was well appointed and has everything you might need. The living room type area is two really nice comfortable recliners. If you wanted to gather together, there is a nice sized kitchen table easily suitable for four. Kitchen has what you need to cook cook up some basics. we had great weather so we spent most early evenings outside in the chairs and hammock. It’s on a gravel country road and you can hear cattle or horses nearby. Sunsets over the mountain range were wonderful. It overlooks a barn in some fields and there’s a small amount of property to stroll around on. We had pretty good stargazing although the moon was pretty bright. You might have some challenges finding the house if you arrive in the dark since there aren’t street lights and cell service is pretty spotty. We were happy to unplug so it wasn’t a bother at all. There were a few restaurants nearby and St. Mary’s was a short drive down the road as well as the park entrance. The hosts were great. It was the first stop on our weeklong hiking adventure at glacier. Perfect place to decompress from daily work life and service homebase for our hiking. If we didn’t live in Ohio we would be happy to visit regularly. Great stay!

Summary: We are two couples 50 and stayed for 5 days at the cabin. We did not have a lot of choices of accommodations on the East side of Glacier National Park and to be honest we were wondering if a cabin would be comfortable enough given our age. Also the period we stayed there happens to be a very hot one in August and we knew there was no AC at the cabin. We were pleasantly surprised how the placement of the windows and of the trees around the house keep a very comfortable temperature in the house during the day and at night; without the noise and the draft of an AC unit; we may add. Although useful many times, none of us are big fans of AC. In our opinion, no AC unit should not be a reason not to book this place. We are highly recommend the cabin; the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The proximity to The Many Glacier area of the national park is a bonus. A tip for future gusts is to try the brisket at the Montana’s Duck Lake Lodge, which is about 5 min drive from the cabin on the way to the Park. For us it was the best we ever had and the food felt like homemade. The host was very prompt helpful and accommodating and contributed to our very pleasant stay at the cabin.

Summary: Chief Mountain House was our base while exploring Glacier National Park. Location was convenient for all our activities, including a day trip up to Waterton in Alberta. The cabin itself had comfortable beds, hot showers, and kitchen/bath necessities. It was clean and blissfully quiet. We were impressed with the updates that were done while preserving the rustic charm of the historic building. Although we were mostly “unplugged,” their new Wi-Fi and Verizon cell booster came in handy for checking on reservations or tickets, and sending pictures to family back home.

Summary: About as close to the Many Glacier entrance as one can get. Only 12 or so miles from St Marys entrance, which are two of the best hiker parks. BAlthough the house was small, it was very comfortable for my wife and I. The internet worked great. Other than no washer and dryer, this house had everything we needed for our 7 night stay. KOA before St Marys entrance was convenient to wash clothes. 2 sisters restaurant, cattle baron (steaks and seafood) and pizza restaurant connected all had great food.

Summary: I wasn’t sure about the location of this property for our Glacier NP vacation but ended up loving it. It’s 15 minutes from St. Mary’s (Going to the Sun Rd entrance) and maybe 30 minutes to Many Glacier. It was nice to have a quiet, secluded place to stay because Many Glacier was very crowded. Has a a great mountain view and lots of birds which we love. We saw three Great Horned Owls on the way out to the main road as well as Gilde Flickers from the cabin window. Nearby Duck Lake had loons so we heard them calling daily. Cabin is beautiful and comfortable. Highly recommend this property.
