Spring Cleanup, Quarantines and Groceries

We all know 2020 has been a strange year, so far.  Why should the vacation season be any different?  Well, Montana and Glacier National Park are still here and as beautiful as ever.  Our cabins are being readied for guests from across the country.  Maybe a vacation rental at the entrance to GNP is just what the family needs!  (Did you know that over 90% of visitors to Glacier are “self-driving Americans?”)

Spring Cleanup

We spent the past couple of weekends doing our spring cleaning in West Glacier.  Winter brings down leaves, branches and an unfathomable number of pine needles – most of which land in our gutters!  We had a good fall cleanup, so this spring has not required as much work as some past springs, but there are many hours invested to keep our properties in great condition.  We rake, clean the gutters, put away the winter heating tape and even sweep the roof of the Big Cabin.

Quarantines?

I think our professional property management firm summed it up for us

We understand this is a strange time for all of our communities due to the impact of the Corona Virus. Thankfully, Montana is a wonderfully beautiful place with wide open spaces and great properties to stay at. 

However, as of May 16th, Governor Bolluck still requires a 14-day quarantine for people planning to vacation in Montana. We would be surprised if the travel restrictions were still in effect this summer. But if so, we can set up an initial grocery delivery for you and have everything at the property when you arrive.  

Cleanliness and safety in our homes are always our number one priority and we want to assure you that we have expanded our already strict cleaning protocols. While we always strive to maintain the highest standards when it comes to cleaning and maintaining our homes, we’re taking it even further by outsourcing the provision and processing of sheets and towels through a commercial linen service. This will ensure the highest levels of sanitation. 

Raking in the spring reveals a new flower.

We are convinced we made the right decision on property managers and professional cleaners.  At a time like this, we are very thankful for their hard work in making our guests as comfortable as possible, and keeping them safe. But, making initial grocery deliveries is going above and beyond!  Thank you!!!

With the efforts being made to prepare our properties, to provide safe, clean environments, and to assist with the logistics of these incredible times, we would like to invite you to load up the “Family Truckster” Vacation-style and head to Glacier National Park (“Getting there is half the fun!“).  We all deserve a vacation! (And did I mention the view?). We hope to see you this summer!
