Located in the North Fork Valley just west of Glacier National Park, the North Fork Hostel offers guests a choice of accommodations in an old-fashioned, homey atmosphere. It's a place to get away, relax, meet new friends and enjoy the beauty of Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest.

Propane lights brighten your nights (there's no electricity in Polebridge). Although the area is off the power grid, the hostel has its own power supply to offer you a cordless phone, a fax machine and a computer. Camcorder and digital camera batteries may be recharged at the hostel. A laptop computer is available for email. A propane cooking range and refrigerators are available to make your food preparation easier after you have spent an exciting day exploring the area.

Visitors from all around the world enjoy our facilities. It is not uncommon to begin your day by having a fascinating conversation with travelers from other countries while enjoying your morning coffee. Some guest comments are: "Thank You for sharing your home and a bit of yourself with each of us," "Best hostel I've seen," and "Both Cecilia and myself were enamored by the charm, history, and overall serenity of the South Cabin and vicinity."

For outdoor enthusiasts, a variety of equipment may be rented. This includes, but is not limited to, items such as mountain bikes, canoes, and backpacking equipment. Cross-country skis, poles and boots as well as snowshoes are available for use in June at Logan Pass on the Continental Divide in Glacier National Park.

All guests may use the amenities of the hostel. These include the living room, shower, and kitchen and refrigerator facilities.

Your friendly hostelmeister is Oliver (click here for my hostel blog). He has traveled the world extensively and understands hosteller's needs. He is fluent in English, German and sometimes Italian and Spanish.

Note: Please make sure to call ahead, check for the road conditions and make reservations in the winter. Special arrangements can be made for the Charlie Wise Homestead Cabin in winter at Square Peg Ranch with adequate notice..
