Our log cabin is conveniently located near Coram Montana on a well maintained county road just 8 miles from West Glacier, the west entrance to Glacier National Park.
We have enjoyed many hours restoring this 1970's structure and now hope you will enjoy our resulting efforts. It offers a peaceful setting, teeming with wildlife, located near many wondrous and fun attractions. Please enjoy our website. Don't hesitate to send us comments and suggestions.

Spring, summer or fall, our favorite spot for reading or dining is the porch. With patience and quiet the deer or elk they may come to visit; they are always around but are shy.
Many hours during the summer
of 2007 were spent on the restoration of the cabin exterior. This photo
was taken before the work began.
Winters are wonderful and the road is plowed to the cabin.We often cross country ski around the pond or in the forest nearby. The road in Glacier Park is plowed to Lake McDonald Lodge and you can ski or snowshoe from there up the road past the Dancing Cascades. There are also private groomed trails near West Glacier. Downhill enthusiasts make the 30 minute drive to Whitefish Resort (formerly Big Mountain), a nationally known destination ski area. This photo was taken after log restoration.
This photo was taken in the fall as you approach the cabin from the paved road near Coram Montana.

| The cabin sits on 10 park-like acres overlooking a 29 acre pond/wetland that is home to many birds and animals who live here all year or stop while migrating through Montana.
Spring begins with the emergence of the painted turtles who have been hibernating in the pond. They sun themselves on the floating logs. In late spring, they climb the banks and lay their eggs.
Many birds visit and live the pond. The most prevalent are the grebes who build floating nests to hatch and raise their young. Ducks and Canada Geese are also residents.
Loons and blue herons are frequent summer visitors. Our last visitors this fall before freeze-up were a family of 6 white swans.
