Summary: Perfect central location to get to all the Glacier entrances and be away from the crowds of West Glacier. The house is VERY well appointed and you can tell the hosts take pride in their home. The 2 large decks on the first floor are fantastic and the morning sun hits the 2nd floor deck in the morning, best spot for reading a book! We went a couple miles to Goat Lick most evening to see the goats dining. Our family of 5 was extremely happy with this house.

Summary: Glacier was the second half of our western US adventure. Ursa cabin checked all the boxes: great proximity to both east and west glacier, serenity, stunning views, a house with absolutely everything we could need for a comfortable stay with a well-appointed kitchen and lovely decor. On top of all this, our hosts were great communicators and provided a wealth of information at the touch of a screen (literally, as soon as we entered the door!). We felt welcome the minute we arrived. We were also pleasantly surprised just how reasonable the indoor temperatures remained during the ungodly heat in the upper 90s. We would rent this place again in a heartbeat!

Summary: This is our 2nd time staying at Will and Melissa’s place in Essex. It was even better this time around only because we knew how great it was and couldn’t wait to get there. The house is immaculate including the furnishings. It is stocked with everything one can need. The beds are very comfortable, better than home! The location was great for our plans. Essex has the Isaac Walton Inn with a train stop at it, including great history and just fun to explore. The house is in between the west and east entrances of Glacier National Park so easy to see both sides of the park. Thankful for the internet this time around since we had to get daily passes to enter the park for the Going to the Sun Road. This time however we spent a good portion of our trip up in the Many Glacier area of the park, which does not require a pass. Plan to drive about 2 hours and to arrive at that entrance around 7am during peak season. This area was not as crowded and had some of the best hikes, but be prepared to see some animals close and up front. We cooked breakfast and Dinner at the house and Put a lunch in the coolers/ backpacks. No need to eat out, but there are a few places to go to if you want. We will definitely be back as soon as our travels can take us there! Thanks Will and Melissa for a great stay. Trish & John, and the boys: Josh, PJ & Will

Summary: Ursa cabin was the best! It was so peaceful to relax in the house or sit outside and soak in the sight and sounds of nature. We saw a deer eating in the yard twice. Everything in the house was clearly quality and all details were thoroughly thought out. All the tiny touches made the cabin seem personal and welcoming. As for location, Ursa cabin is situated about 30 min from both west and east entrances of the park so we were able to explore both sides. Will and Melissa even provided an itinerary for each area of Glacier which made planning our outings much easier. It was such an amazing experience staying there.

Summary: This is our second time staying at this beautiful cabin. Ever since our last visit, we have wanted to come back again. The cabin is super cozy and peaceful. You’re surrounded by beautiful trees and wildflowers with a beautiful view of the mountains. The inside is very clean, organized, beautifully decorated and cozy. The owners make it easy to get a hold of them and have everything set up to help things go smoothly. The owners are very detail oriented which I love. The location is somewhat of a midpoint between entrance to both sides of Glacier National Park. It took us about 30 minutes to get to the Westside entrance and an hour and a half to get to the Eastside entrance from the cabin. We stopped at the grocery store on our way to the cabin from the airport so we could stock up our fridge as there’s no grocery stores nearby, which was recommended by the hosts. The hosts provide a cooler which was super helpful so you can take sandwich stuff etc. into the park. The large washer and dryer were very useful and modern while we visited and even had an option to keep things going if we were going to be out all day to keep the loads fresh. The owners have thought of everything for visitors to make our stay smooth, peaceful, and memorable! We will definitely be back!

Summary: We loved our time at Ursa Cabin 7/2/2022-7/8/2022. We originally planned to stay in a lodge within Glacier National Park but this cabin was a much better option for our family. We enjoyed visiting & eating at the historic lodges but this cabin had much more space, private porches, nicer beds, & room to spread out. It was very clean, had everything we needed, & the owners answered a question promptly during our stay. We loved cool mornings & evenings on the 3 porches. We especially enjoyed sunsets from the front porch. All the furniture & linens inside & outside the house were new. We were incorrect in assuming Going-to-the-Sun Road would be open. There was late snowfall this season so it wasn’t open. This made the cabin’s location at the south side of Glacier incredibly convenient. We were able to access activities (hiking, biking, boat rides, train rides, & red bus rides) from the West Glacier & East Glacier sides of Glacier easily. One evening my husband & sons rode the train from East Glacier to Essex for $8/each and walked back to the cabin. We enjoyed 2 meals at the Izaak Walton Lodge. It was nice to have a restaurant within walking distance while staying in a rural location. I appreciated the upstairs playroom with a door. My sons (13 & 15) could watch Netflix as my husband & I planned out the next day’s hikes with a glass of wine. We also enjoyed real photographs of Glacier artfully displayed throughout the house. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The washer/dryer are new. I’d stay here again when visiting Glacier and recommend to my family & friends. This is the most organized VRBO we’ve ever rented. Don’t hesitate to stay here.

Summary: We were given detailed directions on how to utilize the property and found that direction helpful in navigating our trip to Glacier National Park. Kitchen is WELL appointed. Our only criticism would be that it was a 30-45 min drive to either east or west Glacier Park. That made for a longer driving time than we had anticipated.

Summary: We were attending a family wedding in Essex and Ursa Cabin was a great jumping off place for our Montana adventure. We rafted, hiked and explored and enjoyed our down time at the cabin. Owners are very easy to work with and the cabin’s instructions are detailed and informative. Beautifully maintained, very clean and well organized. Porches and decks have great views - well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and great spaces to relax. Thank you for a great Montana retreat!

Summary: We LOVED this home. It is gorgeous, in a great location, views of the mountains and the most amenities I've ever experienced. My husband and I stayed there along with another couple and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Located between the East and West entrances to Glacier, it made our daily excursions into the park easy. Our hosts have a really helpful book full of tons of information about the area with recommendations. We used it a lot. They also have a lot of reference books and maps about the area that we used. The home is really spacious and pristine. The pictures didn't do it justice.
