A love of nature is ingrained in every born-and-raised Montanan. And to most of us, camping means finding a secluded area and pitching a tent or parking an RV. However, certain occasions in life call for a more elevated experience.

The Bar W Guest Ranch is located on the outskirts of Whitefish near Glacier National Park.

…but if you’re up for an adventure, book a stay in a glamping tent.
Management / TripAdvisor Glamping allows the best of both worlds: a comfortable stay and stunning natural surroundings.
Each luxury canvas tent has a queen-sized bed, a handcrafted log futon, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker.

The glamping tents also have a private porch, which is perfect for enjoying both morning coffee and an evening nightcap.
