—THE SPACE—
Perched above the Middle Fork and just steps to Glacier National Park, you’ll see why the founding family of West Glacier chose this location to build their dream home. Built in 1951 with an attention-to-detail and traditional American craftsmanship — the historic River Haus is brimming with charm.
The cherry-red front door welcomes you into a relaxing, sunlight-bathed space that evokes the nostalgic feeling of a happy childhood memory. In fact, years ago the neighborhood kids were often found playing in the backyard as Mrs. Thompson gardened or baked her famous lemon poppyseed cake. The mercantile across the street bustled with locals, hikers and guides while seasonal park employees rode cruiser bikes past River Haus to the Old Belton Bridge to swim.
Things are a little bit different today, but thankfully much is still the same.
We’ve updated and outfitted River Haus with modern amenities that ensure a comfortable stay while also preserving the authenticity and charm that truly makes River Haus special. You’ll enjoy new premium furnishings, large comfortable beds topped with new mattresses and crisp new sheets, plus all the other amenities you'd expect.
Come and experience Glacier National Park in an authentic, intimate and exclusive way. Join us this summer and fall of 2023 - the memories are worth it!

Summary: Absolutely amazing house. So close to everything around Glacier NP. The owners have thought of everything you will need. We forgot a few things and they had already anticipated things we might need. I will definitely come back.

Summary: We loved our stay at the River Haus. The house is open and bright with lots of sparkling clean windows with river views and natural light. The layout and size are perfect for groups. The house was equipped with everything we needed and much more: comfortable linens and bed, well equipped kitchen, gas powered pot bellied style stove with blower fan, and bikes, fire pit, and deck! The location is so close to the entrance to Glacier National Park and the eateries and amenities of West Glacier. The host was responsive and helpful, providing tips and recommendations for favorite hikes and restaurants. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This house is truly a gem!
