Property Details

This rustically charming log cabin with one bedroom and a loft was built by homesteader, Mickey Wagner, for his trapping friend, a French-Canadian named Baptiste. This cozy cabin is surrounded by meadows with gorgeous views of Bad Rock Canyon.

Baptiste is located on the original homestead site, nestled among large cotton wood and birch, next to a meadow and in sight of beaver ponds. The main floor plan is open with kitchen, dining, and living room and a full bath. A bedroom with a queen bed and deck access is located on the main floor, which also includes a queen size sleeper sofa. The enclosed upper loft has a double futon and looks out over a large meadow and into the majestic canyon formed by towering Columbia and Teakettle mountains. The cabin interior, remodelled in 2018, has a fully equipped kitchen, linens, full laundry, BBQ, and front deck with picnic table and fire pit in a large, private yard. There is plenty of parking, great cell service and free WiFi.

Enjoy a great read about original homesteader, Mickey Wagner and his friend Baptiste, in John Fraley's 2018 book, "Rangers, Trappers, and Trailblazers, Early Adventures in Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness and Glacier National Park. The cabin, Baptiste, a guest house Mickey constructed, is named for Baptiste Joyal.  This enigmatic prospector and trapper may have been the first Euro-American in the South Fork.

"Great Place to Stay"

by Andy

05/23/2025

The Baptiste cabin is a great place to stay if you are visiting the area! Very clean, check-in was a snap, and communication was good.

"Great Base Camp"

by Clifton

09/14/2024

We had an awesome time at the Baptiste cabin. It was a great base camp to explore the west and south side of Glacier NP. It was only about 15 minutes from the West Glacier entrance and about 10 minutes to a restaurant or grocery store.

"Absolutely Stunning Views"

by Caleb

08/25/2024

Absolutely stunning view, we would wake up in the morning to have coffee and look at the beautiful horses. Not very far from the west entrance of Glacier. Little grocery store right up the road and a good place for a little family.

"You Can't Go Wrong"

by Pamala

08/21/2024

Hosts were very responsive when I wanted to add 3 days to my trip. They put us up in another adorable cabin, the Brownstone for a couple of nights and then switched us back to Baptiste. The ranch is centrally located so it's easy to see the Park and then get into Columbia Falls and Whitefish for other activities, but you still felt like you were off the grid in such a peaceful place. You can't go wrong staying at one of their properties!

"Rustic Cabin"

"One of our all-time Favorites"

by Mary

07/18/2024

We cannot say enough about the peaceful surroundings and the adorable cabin. I was travelling alone with my daughter and we felt so comfortable and safe, it was wonderful. The cabin itself is adorable, we loved every inch of it!! It is close to the Park and we were able to get to the Park ahead of the crowds every day and get parking at our desired trailheads. Rosemary was the best communicator! Loved it.

"So Peaceful and Quiet"

by Heather

"This Cabin is Amazing!"

by Samatha

06/26/2022

This cabin is amazing! We used our days to explore Glacier NP which was a quick 5-10 minute drive away. It was so nice to come back after a day of hiking and have s’mores by the fire pit. Overall, we had a great time and will recommend this cabin to anyone coming to Glacier.

"Wonderful Quiet Retreat"

by Jennifer

10/30/2020

Such a wonderful quiet retreat so close to Glacier yet away from the abundance of tourists. Delightfully spoiled with firewood and a full bird feeder with birds to greet me each morning! And it was so clean, just spotless!
Thank you.

"Quaint and Cozy"

by Athan

We really enjoyed our stay at Baptiste! It was the perfect combination of a rustic retreat and yet accessible and close to the park and other attractions. Loved the fire pit and wood provided! The place was clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook with. We had a peaceful stay and a great start to our Montana adventure! I would greatly recommend this place for anyone seeking a quiet warm cabin!

"Most Scenic Terrain Imaginable"

by Adam

10/01/2020

Baptiste was a superbly cozy cabin nestled in the most scenic terrain imaginable. Check-in was easy and straightforward, the local tips came in quite handy, and the kitchen came fully equipped. This is the perfect home base for any trip to Glacier National Park. I’d be so lucky to return to Baptiste again!

"Like a Dream"

by Caleb

09/26/2020

The Baptiste Trapper’s Cabin was like staying in a dream. It offered everything we needed. The cabin is conveniently located close to a grocery store and the west entrance of Glacier park. This is a perfect place for a secluded and peaceful getaway.

"Beautiful Setting"

by Ryan

09/02/2020

This is a historic cabin in a very beautiful setting, convenient to everything! Highly recommend.

"Great Cabin"

by Allen

08/29/2020

Great little cabin off the beaten path. Would recommend for anyone wanting to get away from the rest of town.

"Loved the loft and huge yard"

by Emily

10/23/2019

Great cabin! Our 4 year old daughter loved the loft, huge yard, horses, and fire pit! Great place to disconnect before heading back home. Really needed the washer and dryer. Thanks, E

"Wonderful Historic Cabin"

by John C

10/22/2019

A wonderful historic cabin in a scenic location. This was our second stay at Abbott Homestead, Baptiste was definitely our favorite! Description accurate and very clean.

"Cute cabin!"

Cute little cabin, perfect to get away

"Wonderful Hosts"

by Chris N

"Sunrise Over the Trees!"

by Maggie N

08/22/2019

We had an amazing stay!! We loved the cabin and the views were just so beautiful!! Doyle was so kind and we loved the 15 minute drive too Glacier!! Had to wake up early to see the sunrise over the trees from the front of the cabin!! they are spectacular!

"Location, location, location"

by Dennis M

08/14/2019

Location, location, location. What a place to stay. We stayed in the Baptiste cabin. It was amazing. My 2 boys loved the loft upstairs for sleeping. My wife and I loved the wide open spaces around the house. We looked out at the mountains at night and excitedly enjoyed them each morning over breakfast This house is very near to Glacier NP. Yet, it feels like you are an original homesteader. Way out in the middle of nowhere by yourself. But, grocery and gas within 10 min drive. If you are looking to get away to some solitude, or escape the crowd of Glacier, then this is the place

"Very nice and secluded"

by Sergey K

08/01/2019

Very nice quiet and secluded place. Quite close to the park. The cabin itself is spacious and outfitted with latest amenities. Highly recommended,

"Thanks for a Memorable Trip!"

by Liz M

07/19/2019

My family stopped in to stay at Baptiste on a 4,000 mile road trip of America’s best national parks. We loved the proximity of this place to Glacier and the privacy that it afforded our family of four (with two girls aged 8 and 11). They pretended the cabin was their secret hideout in the woods, and my husband and I liked sitting by the fire pit. We loved breakfast and dinner at the picnic table where we also played cards in the evening. Doyle was very responsive to our text messages and even popped in to collect trash daily. The kitchen has everything you need except coffee for the coffee maker so don’t forget it! Glacier is one of the most beautiful parks in the world so this cabin will place you right on the base of that experience. Thanks for making our trip so memorable

"Incredible Cabin"

by Melanie VB

07/12/2019

Incredible cabin in the middle of a land, where you can watch a the animal life all around! The cabin is practical with all the facilities we can expect. It is wet well located to visit Glacier.

"Beautiful, peaceful experience"

by Cameron J

05/08/2019

A beautiful and peaceful experience throughout. Precisely what you would want as a base camp for experiencing GNP. We had an incredible time.

"Exceptional Privacy"

by Chris

10/13/2018

Great experience! Beautiful setting and privacy was exceptional. Plenty of wood for a great campfire! We will be back.

"Beautiful Views"

by Tracey

10/09/2018

A relaxing, peaceful, beautiful cabin with beautiful views all around. Couldn’t recommend it more highly. We hope to come back some day!

"Great Cabin"

by Michele

08/29/2018

We loved this cabin. It is updated perfectly. Enjoyed the kitchen and grill/deck every night, star gazing. Beautiful area. Loved the remoteness, but not far to a great grocery store.

"Very Close to Glacier National Park"

by Vedika

08/24/2018

Excellent place, great location, very close to Glacier National Park. Huge property with cows and horses on campus. We had to check in in the middle of the night and Doyle was very supportive. He in fact left the lights on so that it would be easier for us to spot our stay. I would definitely recommend.

"Fell In Love"

by Eun

08/18/2018

We really enjoyed the stay and fell in love with Montana. Everything was perfect for us.

"We would definitely stay again!"

by Kim

08/11/2018

All the comforts of home in a serene country setting! We loved the cabin. We would definitely stay here again.

"Thoughtful Touches"

by Pete

08/08/2018

Beautiful place in beautiful location. Historic and rustic on the outside, but very nicely renovated and comfortable on the inside with lots of useful amenities (washer/dryer, grill) and thoughtful touches (spices, informative guest book). Good privacy and scenic surroundings, including the Homestead's resident horses and cows.

"Peaceful"

by Gage

08/06/2018

Beautiful and peaceful spot for a getaway.

"Best Stargazing Ever"

by Sarah

08/04/2018

Very clean! Your place had everything that we needed as we stayed here while exploring Glacier. We spent so much time outside using the fire pit and enjoying the best star gazing that we’ve ever seen! Thank you!

"Wonderful Retreat"

by Ashlyn

08/04/2018

This cabin was a wonderful retreat after a long days hike in glacier. It was absolutely stunning, sparkling clean, and had everything we possibly needed and more. We hope to go back we loved it so much!

"Montana at its Best"

by Dorothy

07/23/2018

Felt like we were in the middle of Montana at its best. Check in was easy. Doyle was great. We hope to be back.

"Adorable Cabin and Perfect Location"

by Katie

07/08/2018

This is an adorable little cabin in a perfect location to visit Glacier National Park. The hosts have thought of everything you might need, down to roasting sticks for the fire pit and refilling the hummingbird feeder (we saw so many kinds!). The location is super convenient. It's only a short drive to town for groceries or to Glacier National Park. It's secluded and private. Doyle was very helpful. We'll be back!

"A Special Place"

by Becky

06/27/2018

Fantastic cabin that was the perfect ending for a week long road trip in Montana. The location is perfect and the place is beautiful and it had everything we needed. Truly a special place and we would come back in a heartbeat.

"Great Location"

by Randy

06/20/2018

Baptiste is a great place to stay to get a first hand close and personal experience of the Montana country just outside Glacier. It is a great location: out in the country but only a few minutes away from Glacier and local stores.

"Away from the World!"

by Scott McN and Family

08/28/2017

Just wanted to say that we enjoyed our stay at Abbott Valley very much. The cabin was well outfitted, neat, clean and allowed us to get away from the world for a week. It was the perfect base to explore Glaicer and beyond.

If we ever make it back to Montana, our first choice would be to stay at Abbott Valley again.

Thanks so much.

"HIghly Recommend for Glacier Visit"

by Patricia

07/21/2017

The cabin is perfect for a short or extended stay around the Glacier National Park area. Although you feel secluded in nature, amenities are just a 10-20 minute drive away (grocery stores, restaurants, etc.). The cabin is cozy and well-equipped, but the yard is the best feature. Rosemary and Doyle have created a perfect setting for barbecuing and sitting around the campfire. We probably spent more time outside than in. I would recommend staying here for a visit to Glacier National Park.

"A Great Time"

by Karena

07/14/2017

We had a great time- very convenient to Glacier and Doyle was very helpful.

"Loved This Cabin"

by Floyd J

07/05/2017

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin. The hosts made it very easy to check in and left lots of materials for us to read about the area. I would definitely recommend this cabin! We hope to return again some day and stay here.

"Very Convenient to Glacier"

by Bill

06/15/2017

We enjoyed our stay here. An excellent location: generally quiet (except for the cows occasionally), great proximity to both Glacier National Park and Columbia Falls.

"Loving Baptiste"

by Debbie LeBlanc

09/17/2016

Doyle, we appreciate the time and effort you made so that we could stay at Baptiste. We are loving it....so cute and cozy. This is amazing country that you live in. Thanks again!

"Perfect Home Base"

by The Warbles

08/07/2015

We’ve decided that this is the perfect "home base" from which to explore this little corner of God’s country. The National Park is awesome, we’ve seen every species of wild animal except a Moose… A trip down to the National Bison Range was well worth it and we drove "home" through the lovely Swan Valley. It was great to arrive "home" each evening to be greeted by three friendly dogs, the horses and the cattle in the pasture. Brought back memories of my cousins farm in Minnesota. A thoroughly glorious, relaxing week. Thank you so much. ~ The Warbles.

"Magesty of Nature"

by P. Algers

07/15/2015

The majesty of nature is so readily evident here. Last night my son and I sat in the breakfast area without any lights on and watched the storm. We talked about how a storm makes us feel both awe and a little scared. Nature at work seems to demand a little healthy respect/fear. Baptiste provided us badly needed solitude and the Park is truly beyond words. ~ P. Algers
