Montana’s Historic Izaak Walton Inn on Glacier National Park’s Southern Border Listed for Sale

Izaak Walton Inn

Longtime owner Brian Kelly says it’s ‘business as usual’ as the Essex hotel and hospitality venue prepares for a busy summer and accepts reservations through 2023

As the final flag-stop station for Amtrak’s Empire Builder passenger train, situated along the remote southern border of Glacier National Park, the historic Izaak Walton Inn at Essex is a magical destination that droves of visitors (who handily outnumber the unincorporated community’s year-round population of 50) have described as “priceless.” And while the 100-acre property was listed for sale last month with an asking price of $17.95 million, the Inn’s proprietor says the true value of the wilderness outpost lies in its historic charm.
