About this property

GLACIER GLAMPING! STEPS FROM THE POLEBRIDGE MERCANTILE!

Cradled between the Continental Divide and the Whitefish Mountain Range just one mile from the northwest entrance to Glacier National Park is the electricity-free community of Polebridge. Made up of a handful of houses, cabins, a hostel and small ranches along the North Fork Road, the hub of this area is the historic Polebridge Mercantile and its neighboring Northern Lights Saloon—both powered by generators and solar panels (seasonal hours). "The Merc" is a one stop shop for locals and visitors alike and is famous throughout the state and region for its freshly baked goods, sandwiches and authentic personality. Just a stone's throw from the Wild & Scenic North Fork Flathead River you'll find our quaint "Cutthroat Cabin" is the ideal location for those looking to get away from it all or a launching point for your next Glacier National Park adventure. Here you'll find access to unlimited outdoor recreation from fly fishing to hiking to wildlife viewing and more, all the while enjoying the amazing views of the surrounding Northern and Canadian Rockies. The Cutthroat Cabin, named for NW Montana's native westslope cutthroat trout, is rustic, clean and comfortable with propane lights, oven and range, a hand-pump well in the kitchen and an antique wood burning stove. The bathroom is an outhouse. There is no electricity, the cabin is lit by propane wall sconces and portable propane and battery powered lanterns. There is no cell service or internet access. There is a public computer at the Mercantile and Wi-Fi available at nearby Home Ranch Bottoms. Quite possibly the cutest little outhouse in Polebridge too!

A fun, relaxing spot to unplug for a few days
We loved this off-grid spot in Polebridge. It was so quiet and my favorite part was sitting on the porch in the morning with coffee and treats from the Merc, watching birds and listening to the breeze blowing the aspen trees. We are campers and backpackers so pumping water, lack of electricity, and outhouse were not a problem for us at all! Super comfortable place to relax and unwind and explore the North Fork area. Thank you!

sponge bath time
We enjoyed the cabin, the first night when I said they would have to take a sponge bath, "What"! After educating them on how to do a sponge bath all went great for all other baths. Pumping water was new to them, and the 13- and 12-year-old just loved that we were close enough to the Mercantile that they could walk there each evening. I do need an address to return the stuffed bat to you, somehow it was in a suitcase when I started my 2 days of laundry. Thanks for the wonderful place to stay and learn from.
