The Resort & Setting

Glacier Wilderness Resort is an independent property made up of individual log cabins, each with satellite TV, WiFi and a private deck fitted with its own hot tub. There's also an indoor pool on-site for cooler days. It's a small, well-regarded resort — Google reviewers rate it 4.7 out of 5 from 66 reviews — and the cabin-style layout gives it a more private, self-contained feel than a typical hotel-block timeshare. The address, 13400 US-2, West Glacier, puts it right on the main highway corridor into the park, in Flathead County, Montana.

The Area & Things to Do

West Glacier is the western gateway to Glacier National Park, and the park entrance is only a few miles from the resort. From here it's a short drive to Lake McDonald, Montana's largest freshwater lake, good for boating, fishing and kayaking against a backdrop of peaks. Going-to-the-Sun Road, the park's famous 50-mile mountain route, is also within easy reach, though it only runs fully from early June to around October depending on snowfall. Flathead National Forest spreads out over two million acres nearby for backcountry hiking and camping, and Kalispell, about 20 miles away, is the nearest town of any size for shopping, dining and other services. Activity here shifts with the seasons — hiking and rafting in summer, wildlife-watching in autumn, snow sports in winter, and wildflowers in spring — so a week owned here can mean something quite different depending on when it falls.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Glacier Wilderness Resort is an independent resort, so resales here are handled by the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded exchange company. If you list your week with us, the process is straightforward: you set your own asking price, your listing goes live for a one-time listing fee, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform — we don't take a cut of the sale, as BidMyTimeshare runs on 0% commission.

Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these aren't published figures and vary by cabin and contract. It's also worth confirming in writing exactly what transfers with the week — the cabin/unit assignment, usage points or fixed dates, and any outstanding dues — and what doesn't, so there are no surprises on either side once the paperwork is signed.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically drawn to this resort for the privacy of a standalone cabin with its own hot tub, the indoor pool as a backup for bad weather, and the sheer convenience of being minutes from the park entrance rather than staying in Kalispell and driving in each day.

Practical Notes

Summer (June through September) is peak season, when Going-to-the-Sun Road is fully open and the park sees its heaviest visitor numbers — book or list well ahead if you're planning around these months. Weather here is changeable even in summer due to the elevation, so layered clothing is sensible whatever the season. Fuel and groceries are available locally in West Glacier, with a fuller range of services in Kalispell. Entry to Glacier National Park requires a park entrance fee, and anyone visiting repeatedly may find an annual pass worthwhile. Cell coverage can be patchy around the resort and on trails, so downloading offline maps before you arrive is a good habit.

Travel Tips

Visit between June and September for full access to Going-to-the-Sun Road and the widest range of park activities, but book well ahead as this is peak season. Pack layered clothing year-round, since the high elevation means weather can shift quickly regardless of the month. Download offline maps before setting out, as cell service is limited around West Glacier and on many park trails.
