Delightful and sweet cabin, wonderful view, easy bike ride for kids to Pole Bridge, and rides into the park. Cabin has nice supply of cooking “gear”.

Great location on the river and within easy walking distance to Polebridge for pastries at the Merc and live music and food at the Northern Lights saloon. Furniture has been updated since photos were taken and was in good condition, though a picnic table outside would be appreciated. The cabin is fairly dark on the interior and really holds in heat so summer guests might want to bring lanterns and spare batteries instead of relying on the propane lights. Bug spray is also a wise investment. We brought mouse traps in case of visitors previous guests had mentioned, but saw no sign of them until the last morning when we found a few packages of crackers had been nibbled on. We appreciated how clean the previous guests left the place for us, and had a fantastic time. We'd definitely like to return!

Nice location. Previous renters left it nice and clean. Beware indoor mice. Beware creepy trespassers on the property who ignore signs - we had to park our car across the driveway to block them.

Ben Rover Cabin is located 35 miles north of Columbia Falls, on North Fork Road (County Road 486). From Columbia Falls, travel north on Nucleus Avenue. Turn east at the stop sign, on Railroad Street. The road becomes the North Fork Road as it travels over the railroad overpass. At mile 35 on the North Fork Road, turn east one mile following signs to the town of Polebridge. Turn left (north) to Ben Rover Cabin which is a half-mile from Polebridge on the right. If you cross into Glacier National Park, you have gone too far. The majority of the road from Columbia Falls to Ben Rover Cabin is gravel, so be prepared for dust during your drive and at the cabin.
North Fork Road is gravel, intermittently plowed during the winter. A four-wheel-drive vehicle with chains is recommended in winter.
Elevation: 1076 feet
