We stayed 3 nights for a girls trip to Glacier. Newly renovated cabin with full kitchen was perfect for us. Eric and Susan gave us a welcome gift bag & locally made soap. It was very thoughtful. They provide goodies for us before our half marathon and freshly baked cookies and sparkling water. Cottages are in town and there are a couple places to walk to get food and drinks. It's a great location to get to tons of hiking on the east side of the park. I'd highly recommend staying here for a few nights!

Came here with family and we had a really lovely time. The hosts are extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding areas for hiking, biking, or running as well as places to eat. Would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a place in East Glacier. Cabins are very clean and modern and property is beautiful.

My sister & I planned a visit to the East side of Glacier National Park in mid-August and stayed at Jacobson's Cottages, which exceeded our expectations and were absolutely perfect in every way (we stayed in a "Small 2 Room Cottage"). The owners are the kindest, friendliest and most wonderful couple. They've remodeled the cottages (which really sets them apart from other older accommodation options near GNP), and the cottages are truly amazing, have everything you need, and are eco-friendly. The cottages have the highest quality beds & linens, are incredibly clean & comfortable, and have so many lovely touches (like fresh coffee grounds and instructions for making the perfect cup!). Parking spots are right next to each cottage, making it easy to unload & load your car. The grounds are beautifully maintained by the owners, with plenty of places to gather & sit outside.

Sally and I stayed at Jacobson’s Cottages in mid-September 2024 for 4 nights. Our cottage was a double queen with lots of space to make ourselves “at home”. Owners Erik and Susan are wonderfully attentive to their property as is clear from how well kept our cottage was and how clean, neat and attractive the property looked. Erik gave me some hiking ideas that I would not have considered but for his knowledge of the area. We loved our stay at their quiet location after very full days of hiking and all. We will stay here again when we return to East Glacier.

We loved the hospitality of the owner Erik who provided a wealth of information about the area. The cottages were newly renovated inside, clean, and very comfortable. The king size bed was great! We enjoyed the local coffee and tea provided, and sat outside the cottage listening to the birds. We did a lot of hiking and kayaked at Two Medicine Lake. This is a great place to stay while exploring Glacier National Park’s east side.

Clean rooms, very comfortable bed and loved the drip coffee. The place was very peaceful and easy to rest before waking up early for activities or resting after a long day. The owners were accommodating and thoughtful. Enjoyed the post Glacier half race snacks and beverages. Would definitely stay again.

I loved this newly renovated lodging option for my friend and I on our trip to East Glacier. We felt a warm welcome from the owners when we arrived and they were very knowledgeable about the new rules and tips for Glacier National Park and local dining options. I particularly loved that the cottages were on the quiet outskirts of the town (even though it is a very small town, to begin with). I was pleasantly surprised at the dishware provided and thought the local coffee and tea options in the room were a nice touch. The details really showed in making it a comfortable, safe, and welcoming place to stay. I will definitely recommend Jacobson's Cottages to friends and family!
