Overview

About This Property

It's a polished B&B in Whitefish with nine rooms and a woodsy-chic vibe. Free cookies, a hot tub, and ski storage set the mood for year-round Glacier access. The pricing flexes by season, but value is clear for a cozy, intimate stay. We take those.

Your Morning Game Plan

Hit the in-room coffee or in-house roasted coffee from the start—it's a pleasant perk. You're about 24 minutes from the Glacier West Entrance; plan to leave around 6:45 AM to beat the tour buses. For a smooth morning, enjoy breakfast and head out by 6:50 AM to maximize park time.
