Schnaus Cabin

Everything was great except the people before us didn't restock the woodpile or kindling supply. We love to move wood and to chop up the rounds and make kindling, so it wasn't a problem, just not very considerate.

Two things: the visquene on the one of the double beds downstairs is pretty ripped. Also, the Swiffer is completely out of fluid. When we discovered this, we didn't have the time to drive to the nearest creek and get enough water for mopping all the floors. We did the best we could with sweeping, and left the place clean.

I have stayed here before, the cabin is well kept. However, this time, due to weather I was unable to make it there, so those 2 days are a contribution to the cabin. The weather came in quick and living in Montana, there are things you have to do to take care of your own place before going on a vacation. lol would not live anywhere else

What an awesome cabin! We loved it other than the gas leak in the big bedroom. The FS was notified and hopefully they get it fixed asap. We will defiantly be going back.

The only reason I am knocking this down to three stars is because for whatever reason, there were like two dozen flies inside the house. At first it was two, and then I had to keep killing them for a good portion of the night. I am not sure what happened before me, but it really ruined what could easily have been a wonderful cabin.

The views from the balcony are stunning. I ate dinner and breakfast out there, just soaking in all that beauty.

It is about an hour drive from the Glacier National Park West Glacier entrance. The road is under construction so it took a little longer. After you cross the river the road can get really dusty and slippery with the gravel.

8 friends+great food+lots of laughter+great weather+ building memories= a great weekend

Know that the road to the cabin is rough and dusty and takes quite some time to get there. No cell service or wash facilities

Such a beautiful spot. Great views of the mountains and when there is alpenglow.... WOW.

In wintertime, bring cross country skis, snowshoes, and "grippers" to attach to your boots so you won't slip on ice. You never know what the ice and snow will be like. We used snowshoes and grippers, but it was way to icy and steep to use skis. You can easily walk from the cabin to the shore of the North Fork of the Flathead River in 30-40 minutes. Bring a pair of binoculars so if you have clear skies you can zoom in on the peaks of the continental divide. Bring a lot of water for drinking and for washing dishes and pans. We made some wonderful meals at the cabin. Expect to have a wonderful time.

Bring firewood for the outdoor firepit. Bring stadium style chairs for sitting on the metal grate benches around the fire. Reload the cabin's firewood from the shed, the combination is the same as the cabin (this info used to be in the instructions but the part that says it's actually in the shed wasn't on our instructions this year). Bolting the latch on the front door helped us keep the leak of cold air from entering. Bring a bright lamp for playing games in the dark, the propane mantel lanterns are not very bright. In the winter when you need to drain your dishwater into the vault toilet, it's handy to bring an empty 5 gallon bucket with a handle to make hauling easier. Bring old socks to put on the metal toilet seat... brrrr... at 10f. Enjoy the views!

Such a nice place to stay! Very peaceful, quiet and serene! The views of Glacier National Park are incredible. Will definitely be back!!
