Montana’s Historic Izaak Walton Inn on Glacier National Park’s Southern Border Listed for Sale
March 22, 2022 /
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.
