Polebridge Mercantile & Bakery
The Polebridge Mercantile is a rustic two story red outpost that serves as bakery, coffee shop, store and gathering place for locals and visitors. The interior looks much like it did in the early 1900's.
Originally established by William and Jessie Adair, we have been serving the North Fork community in remote Northwest Montana for over 100 years. Much as it has from the beginning, the “Merc” serves as a general store, bakery, base camp, and vacation getaway just a mile outside Glacier National Park. It is one of the anchors of the North Fork experience and an essential stop for anyone visiting the west side of Glacier National Park. Some even know it as “The North Fork’s Last Best Outpost”.
The Merc is your perfect, one-stop, supply and resupply shop for those adventuring through Polebridge and the remote northwest corner of Glacier National Park. The shelves of the Merc are stocked with practical wares like gauze and parachute cord, power steering fluid and Spam, making it a one-stop supply shop.
What you can find at the Merc:
- Gifts, Clothing & Souvenirs
- Gasoline & Automotive Supplies
- Ice & Ice Cream
- Full Deli with Meat & Cheese
- Groceries & Produce
- Stuffed Animals
- Coffee & Espresso
- New & Used Books
- Household & Cleaning Supplies
Cabins
The Polebridge Mercantile is excited to offers four rental cabins on historic Bakers’ Row. Each cabin offers a historic piece of Polebridge. Cabins are rustic, which means no running water inside but there is a full-service bathhouse with running water, flush toilets, showers, and baby changing stations. The bathhouse is walking distance from the cabins.
The Nightly rate includes a $10 dollar bakery voucher for breakfast. Each cabin has a private deck, picnic table, and fire pit. There is no additional guest charge for children. No dogs/pets are allowed in Polebridge Mercantile rental cabins.
