Facilities include seven bunks for men and six bunks for women, couples accommodations, washrooms with hot showers, a six-foot clawfoot bathtub, a large downstairs shared living room, a warm and pleasant, fully-equipped community kitchen and the spiffiest outhouses on the North Fork. (The interior art is interesting -- look for John's college diploma.)|Behind the hostel are small living units for family rental. (Some of them have interesting names like the "Goat Chalet.") These cabins are bedrooms with a double bed and either a set of bunk beds or a day-couch bed. Also, there are two log homes for rent up the road at the Square Peg Ranch.|Don't forget to bring linen or sleeping bags, flashlights and food. Clean sheets can be rented at the hostel.

directions to property:
The hostel is located on the western edge of Glacier National Park, 1/4 mile (1/2 kilometer) southeast of the Polebridge Mercantile at the end of Beaver Drive (follow the signs). Taking Camas Creek Road through Glacier Park (except when the park is snowed in during the winter) avoids a rough section of the North Fork Road. The North Fork Road north from Columbia Falls to Polebridge is route 486, a gravel road with sections of pavement. In winter when coming from West Glacier, use Blankenship Bridge Road. It is a good idea to have tire chains with you in winter. Try to arrive during daytime to appreciate the views.
