Tucked just seven miles from Glacier National Park, Glacier Under Canvas isn’t your average place to sleep — it’s a slice of wilderness wrapped in comfort, with a treehouse that feels plucked from a forest fairytale. You’re surrounded by pines, mountain air, and the sort of quiet that feels rare now. Honestly? It’s kind of magical.
The treehouse itself is something else. Built from natural materials — lots of wood, soft textures, nothing too polished — it somehow feels luxurious without trying too hard. There’s a King-sized bed at the center of it all, ridiculously comfy, and big windows that let in Montana’s ever-changing light. Bring your partner, bring your kids — it sleeps four — or just bring a book and make it your own solo escape.
And the deck? The deck’s a scene-stealer. You’ll want to sit out there with coffee in the morning and something stronger in the evening, watching the sky shift over the mountains like a live painting. Sometimes it’s all golden light and bird song, other times it’s brooding clouds and a breeze that smells like pine and river water.
But Glacier Under Canvas isn’t just about the treehouse. The property is scattered with custom safari tents that redefine glamping. Some have full bathrooms, lounge areas, even dining setups — and yes, there’s still real wilderness just outside your zipped-up walls. You’re not in a resort bubble. You’re in it. The wild, the quiet, the night sky full of stars you forgot you could see.
The Flathead River is less than a mile away — perfect for a lazy float or a quick photo op. You can rent bikes, go for hikes, or just wander off and let nature show you what it’s been up to while you were busy. Glacier National Park is basically next door, Hungry Horse Reservoir’s around the corner, and Flathead Lake is just far enough for a proper day trip.
Everything feels thoughtful here. There’s Wi-Fi, but you won’t miss it. There are picnic lunches you can take on your adventures, and they’re actually good (also, $12.50? Kind of a steal). Bringing friends or the whole family? Extra guests are just $25 a night. For what you’re getting — luxury, location, and that rare blend of peace and adventure — it’s more than fair.
Glacier Under Canvas doesn’t try too hard to impress you. It doesn’t need to. It’s quiet luxury. Real trees. Real stars. And a reminder that nature, when done right, doesn’t need filters. Just a cozy place to land at the end of the day — preferably one 10 feet up in the trees.
