'Heeere's Johnny!'
Nope. It's actually David and Rebecca Wilson.
The Wilsons have been living together at the Many Glacier Hotel in Montana since October and taking care of the property during its off-season.
Although they don't have a son named Danny, the Wilsons are aware some are comparing their situation to that of Jack and Wendy Torrance in Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.
Many Glacier, which is located on the eastern edge of Glacier National Park, welcomes hundreds of thousands of guests each summer before it closes down for the year in September.
Now the vacation hotspot has only two visitors: Rebecca and David.
An employee of the hotel since 2008, David does maintenance work on the 76-acre, 100-year-old property.
This is the first winter he or Rebecca have stayed at the hotel to watch over it until things thaw out in the spring.
They will be battling snow, rain, wind, and occasional four-legged houseguests until April.
The Wilsons have seen fewer than ten people during their stay at Many Glacier and so isolated the only emergency vehicle that would be able to reach them is a snowplow, Yahoo Travel reported.
In order to keep their friends, loved ones and past guests in the loop about what has been happening at the Swiss-alpine style hotel, David and Rebecca post updates on their A Winter At Many Glacier blog.
They use the blog to post pictures, weather updates and information about the 'day to day life of the caretaker at the very remote Many Glacier Hotel in Glacier National Park'.

Those who listen to the “John Batchelor Show” may be aware that his signoff medley “Midnight” is from that movie.
That look in Rebecca's eyes... Role reversal? I think David may want to sleep with one eye open this winter...

It's a little off the beaten path, on the east side of the park, with its own eponymous access road. Great hiking thereabouts - the Grinnell Glacier being one of the best. The grizzled b'ar will have bedded down by now but they'll see moose, elk, deer, and yes, wolves.
I'd love to do this myself some time, but I bet it's a lot of work. I'll be following their blog. Thanks for posting!
Oh, and there are relatively few axe murders there. Ten, twenty a season, tops. ;-)
Yep, if I were to assess the odds, she’s the one. I suspect there have been some ... interesting nights already.
Just saying.

We went to Glacier in early summer, and it was still buried under many feet of snow!
They had photos of the buildings completely buried just a few weeks past!
Not at the Lodge, up on the highway.
And, in between, didn't it stop at Vancouver?
