My friend and I loved the convenience of proximity to Glacier National Park entrance. The home was comfortable, and really appreiciated the extra amenities provided (coffee and water). Loved the side deck and seeing a few deer everyday. Also appreciated that we could check in a little earlier than 4:00, since there were no guests staying the previous night of our arrival.

Great Rental

July 2025 decent proximity to West Glacier entrance (about 20 minutes), and about 5 to restaurants and shopping in Columbia Falls. Host was attentive and addressed our needs. The highway noise is tolerable, but if you’re a light sleeper and like windows opens, choose the back bedroom. Saw deer on sight and definitely felt safe.

Peaceful mountain property

I took my father to Montana as a retirement gift. This spot was perfect for us because it was close to GNP, Whitefish, and Kalispell. It was quiet, clean, and the beds were comfortable. After doing a lot of hiking it was nice to have a peaceful, clean place to come back to. We saw deer and a turkey in the backyard too!

Perfect place for family visiting GNP

This was a perfect house for our family of 4. Especially if you have an infant. We brought our own pack n play and the laundry room was a perfect extra room that gets dark and could go to sleep earlier than the rest of the family. Also great location close to the park and easy to come home to and cook a nice hot meal after exploring. Would highly recommend!

GNP trip

The house was super cute and clean, with everything as described. Jo was very nice and easy to communicate with. It was great to have the washer/dryer to do laundry, and the location close to the West entrance to the park was perfect. Having some fresh raspberries to pick outside was an unexpected bonus!

Perfect fit

This property was the perfect fit for two moms and their little ones to stay the night and explore GNP during the day. The living area was spacious, bedrooms clean and a good size to set up a pack n' play. Everything about the house was just nice and well done. The outside was great to play around in and the security fence around the entire property was a great safety feature. We'd definitely try to stay here again in the future.

Thumbs up for house and hosts

House was clean, neat, bright and comfortable. My plans had to change a bit last minute to avoid more challenging hikes due to a minor injury. Our host, Jo, responded to my request with some additional ideas for us. Great info and very helpful. We had a great time! Highly recommend this stay.

Amazing Location for Glacier and Whitefish Adventures

My son and I stayed at this super-conveniently located house for four nights. The house and property are as-described. The living space is actually larger than it appears in the photos - - tons of room to spread out and organize gear in the living room. Tons of light through large windows. We saw numerous deer playing in the backyard in the mornings and evenings. Just minutes from Glacier's West entrance and only a few minutes from Columbia Falls (or a little further to Whitefish) - so tons to do without any long car rides. Check-in was a breeze and great communication with host. Loved our trip! Thank you!!
