Glacier visit
Chug a lug springs was an absolutely perfect place for us to stay while visiting Glacier. The apartment is everything we anticipated and more. A newly built property, nicely equipped, great location, clean, quiet and cozy. We would definitely stay here again. Robert and Jennifer are amazing hostsand the huckleberry jam is scrumptious.
The location was outstanding for all of the local attractions. It was extremely comfortable and tastefully decorated. If I could give 10 stars I would. We would never hesitate to stay here again or to recommend it to others. It is perfect!
