Private Forest Basecamp Near Glacier/Hot Tub, Firepits, Huge Decks/Sleeps 12 | House in West Glacier
3 Bedroom House in West Glacier
Welcome to Three Bear Basecamp—a private forest retreat just 2 miles from the West Entrance of Glacier National Park. Thoughtfully designed for families and groups who value space, comfort, and quiet, 3BB offers the rare combination of peaceful seclusion with easy access to one of America’s most spectacular parks.
Set on 8 serene, wooded acres, this home is intentionally positioned away from traffic, congestion, and park noise—so you can truly unwind after your Glacier adventures. Whether you’re gathering for a multigenerational family trip, a reunion, or a meaningful celebration, Three Bear Basecamp is a place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy Montana at your own pace.
Many guests describe the moment they arrive as a deep exhale—pulling off the highway, winding through the trees, and realizing just how quiet it is. Mornings often begin with coffee on the deck as sunlight filters through the pines, while evenings end around the firepit or in the hot tub, sharing stories after a full day in Glacier.
Why Guests Love Three Bear Basecamp
• Unbeatable Location: Quiet, private setting just 2 miles from Going-to-the-Sun Road
• Designed for Groups: Comfortably sleeps 12 with real beds only—no futons or sofa sleepers
• Exceptional Outdoor Living: A 600 sq ft deck for dining and stargazing, multiple firepits, hammocks, a swing set, and a top-tier 6-person hot tub
• Room to Spread Out: Main home level plus a fully equipped bottom-level bunkhouse with its own entrance and summer kitchen
A Home Built for Gathering
Inside, you’ll find a chef’s kitchen with a gas range, double ovens, and granite countertops—often the heart of the home, where meals stretch into long conversations and plans for the next day take shape. Cozy living spaces, Smart TVs, board games, and thoughtful layouts make it easy to spend time together while still enjoying privacy.
The separate bottom-level bunkhouse is a guest favorite, offering flexible sleeping arrangements, lofted spaces, and plenty of room for kids, cousins, or friends to have their own retreat—without sacrificing comfort.
Comfort, Reliability & Peace of Mind
• Central air conditioning & high-speed Wi-Fi
• Full-house backup generator and reverse-osmosis water system
• EV charger available (additional fee)
• Private bedrooms and baths, including a primary suite with its own deck
Nature, Dark Skies & Simple Joys
In season, enjoy picking huckleberries and wild strawberries right on the property. Evenings are best spent around the fire, soaking in the hot tub, or watching the stars—or even the aurora borealis—emerge in the dark Montana sky, just minutes from rivers, trails, and local favorites.
Three Bear Basecamp is not a party house. It’s a thoughtfully curated home for guests who value quality time, nature, and comfort—close to Glacier, yet blissfully removed from the crowds.
The Bottom Line
Three Bear Basecamp offers something rare: the peace and privacy of a true forest retreat paired with quick access to Glacier National Park. Guests love returning from full park days to quiet evenings, dark skies, and space to reconnect—without traffic, crowds, or noise.
Is Three Bear Basecamp the Right Fit?
This home is ideal for families, multigenerational groups, and friends traveling together who appreciate a peaceful setting near Glacier. It may not be the best fit for those seeking nightlife, walkable town amenities, or a party-style atmosphere.
Property & Safety Notes
For transparency, outdoor security cameras and motion-activated lighting are installed in driveway and exterior ingress/egress areas only. There are no cameras inside the home or in private outdoor guest spaces.
A recreational vehicle (RV) is always stored on the property behind jack-leg fencing on the far side of the 8 wooded acres. During the summer, it may be occupied occasionally by the owners or a caretaker; one of the owners is a volunteer firefighter. This area is fully separate from guest spaces, with no shared outdoor living areas. You may see them briefly along the shared driveway as they access a separate road. Guest privacy is very important to us, and the home and outdoor amenities are entirely for guest use.
