Inside, you’ll find 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a sleeping loft, with rich wood finishes and a cozy woodstove that makes every season feel inviting. Mornings start with coffee by the water, and evenings end with the lake softly lapping at the shore and views of Chief Mountain, mighty and majestic. Additionally, this cabin is an active, successful Airbnb offering buyers a rare opportunity to enjoy a personal getaway while tapping into strong short-term rental demand in one of Montana’s most sought-after recreation corridors. Local Area Just on the edge of the world-renowned Glacier National Park, Babb, Montana is a small farming and ranching community in Glacier County. A recreational haven, many activities illuminate the wonder of the landscape and scenery here. The community accommodates those passing through to the park. Fishing, camping, and hiking are popular routines and easy ways to surround yourself with the beauty of nature. Saint Mary, Montana lies between Lower Saint Mary Lake and Upper Saint Mary Lake on the eastern border of Glacier National Park. The community is an ideal starting point for exploring the park or taking a scenic drive up to Many Glacier. There are legendary hiking trails along the park's eastern side and in Many Glacier. In the winter, Saint Mary provides a launching point for cross-country skiers. In the spring and summer months, witness a vibrant display of wildflowers including Indian paintbrush, blanket flowers, and lupine. Area Attractions Glacier National Park The coveted area nicknamed the “Crown of the Continent” for obvious reasons offers exclusive views and activities in the state of Montana. With over 700 miles of trails through pristine forests, alpine meadows sprinkled with bright lovely wildflowers, rugged and tenacious mountains, and spectacular sparkling lakes. Visit the historic chalets and lodges for a walk back in time or backpack, cycle, hike, or camp. While taking in the astounding sights of the glacier-carved peaks and valleys, set your binoculars on a diverse range of wildlife of bighorn sheep, mountain goats, deer, elk, ptarmigan, and both black and grizzly bears. This highway to heaven is a tough one to ever forget. Lake Sherburne Lake Sherburne is a manmade reservoir located just outside of the entrance at Many Glacier. The reservoir was created to help regulate the flows of the Swiftcurrent Creek with an earth-fill dam built in 1914 and 1921. The lake is situated in a scenic area with unparalleled views. It is six miles in length with lots of shorelines to bask in the sun or explore. Fish, boat, view wildlife, or hike. The water is calm and serene for fishing or kayaking. Expect to reel in Brook Trout or Northern Pike. Wildlife that can be seen here include moose, bears, bighorn sheep, and Trumpeter Swans. Duck Lake East of Babb, Duck Lake offers a fishing experience unlike any other. The lake is stocked and produces rainbow trout that average 8 pounds! The large fish raised in these waters attract anglers from all over the world. Duck Lake is 1,446 acres at an elevation of 5,015 feet. A reservation license and a Montana fishing license are all you need to start reeling in plump Rainbow and Brown Trout. Lower Saint Mary Lake At an elevation of 4,477 feet, this mountain lake holds Brook, Bull, Lake, Rainbow, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout along with Northern Pike and Lake Whitefish.
