About This Home
As of July 2025Charming Essex Log Cabin Retreat near Glacier Park, on 2.24 Acres – First Time on the Market!
Nestled in the heart of Montana’s outdoor paradise and offered for the first time, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom log cabin is a rare gem located on 2.24 level, beautifully treed just minutes from hundreds of trails throughout Forest Service Land and Glacier National Park’s East & West entrances.
Built in 1995, the 1,338 sq ft main cabin features a warm, open-concept design with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, two cozy living rooms, a spacious loft, & laminate flooring. The kitchen offers laminate countertops, a pantry, & easy access to the new Trex decks at both the front and back of the home. Fresh interior paint & new carpeting make this mountain retreat move-in ready. The rear porch is wired for a hot tub, while the covered front porch showcases beautiful woodwork & makes for a perfect place to relax after a day of adventure.
A charming 288 sq ft bunkhouse (“dry cabin”) with a loft and covered porch offers bonus space for guests or rental potential.
The impressive 24x40 drive-through garage features two 8.5' x 9.5' doors (one automatic), red gravel flooring, power, an air compressor, and built-in shelving and cupboards—ideal for storing all your recreational toys & gear.
Located near hundreds of miles of Forest Service and State Land (Zips Cabin entrance just down the road), and with direct access to over 80 miles of groomed trails for side-by-sides, four-wheelers, and snowmobiles, this property offers endless recreation year-round. Whether you're looking for a vacation retreat, full-time residence, or investment opportunity, this cabin has it all—peace, privacy, and pristine mountain views.
Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Montana wilderness!
