Great cabin style lodge

Our family loved this place. It's nestled back in a wooded area and has a log cabin feel. Really nice fire pit area and the host had everything all set up for us.

Everything I want in a Cabin

This cabin was everything I want in a cabin - isolated, the necessities, comfortable, and clean! My husband and I have already decided we'd likely rent again on a return trip to MT!

Great apartment with cabin feel

We stayed here three nights and loved it! Not too bad of a drive to Glacier National Park. The apartment had all we needed with great amenities: kitchen, bedrooms (extra air mattress to use), bathroom, and laundry. We enjoyed the fire pit and the s’mores supplies. Definitely a great place to stay while exploring the area, would recommend in a second!

Hospitality at its Finest

We could not be more pleased with our stay! Ben and his wife were the most gracious hosts we've ever experienced in all our years with vrbo. They literally did everything over and above, such a wonderful property. We loved the location, so convenient to Glacier! Great night's sleep in quiet surroundings. Everything was perfect. Our son had lots of fun exploring the nearby woods and creek area as well.

Beautiful cabin like loft!!

The property was exactly as described. Although it is attached to property owners, we still felt nice and secluded in our little private area, never even seeing anyone else. The inside was beautiful, the beds very comfortable. The outside is peaceful and quiet. The owners were so thoughtful providing everything to make s’mores, and getting the fire pit all prepared while we were out so it was easy to start! And super helpful when we had to change our dates after booking, they made it easy. We would absolutely stay here again!

J&C (9/3-9/8/23)

Very charming, comfortable, cozy and inviting. Very nice homey touches throughout the property. It was a great place to retreat to after long days of hiking in GNP. We didn't have time to enjoy the fire pit but it sure looked nice. We enjoyed seeing/watching the family of deer in the yard. We did set off the smoke detector (twice) while toasting bagels in the morning. We should have moved the toaster to the other side of the counter so it wasn't directly underneath the smoke detector. Hope we didn't disturb the host family. Highly recommend this very nice property for staying near Columbia Falls.

A wonderful place to call home for a week

We booked this rental as our home base while we explored Glacier National Park and the Whitefish area and were extremely happy with our choice! The host was friendly and quickly responsive to any questions we had. The property was very clean,comfortable, and so pleasantly decorated. It felt isolated with a great view of the woods and was very quiet, even though it was attached to another property. Be prepared to drive a bit on a bumpy dirt road to get to there. We had what we needed to prepare meals and enjoy our morning coffee (Keurig). We greatly appreciated the washer and dryer after our dirty hikes. The king bed was very comfortable. They had unexpected items like bear spray (used ours), bug spray, cooler, hiking poles,ROKU. The drive from to Two Medicine NP entrance was about 1 hr 40 min, to Apgar Visitor Center 35-40 min, and to Many Glacier entrance through Browning about 3 hours. The drives were scenic so we didnt mind all of the driving to get to our planned hikes. We definitely recommend going to Many Glacier to do the Grinnell Glacier trail hike but all of the others we did were great as well. Check out Backslope Brewery in Columbia Falls for some excellent beer brewed onsite and great food! We dont usually eat much fried food but their pickle brined chicken sandwich and Bistro burger were so good that we went there twice for the same meal. Overall, the property was just what we were looking for as a home base and we would return for sure if we travel to the area.

Above and Beyond!

What an incredible experience! The hosts did absolutely everything they could to make this experience top-notch and they succeeded. From the perfect setup around the fire pit to the pristine condition of the property, everything was wonderful. I loved the setting in the woods - feeling away from “civilization” while still having nearby access to grocery, restaurants, etc. The cabin’s decor was lovely and the amenities were fabulous. Our hosts were accessible for anything we needed but gave us a complete privacy during the stay. It rained our first day so the chairs and cut wood around the fire pit got wet. When we returned from our hike, we were delighted to find a note telling us we had dry chairs and fresh kindling/wood. We were able to end our day around a beautiful campfire looking at the stars. Who could ask for more? I will be back without question!

Enjoyed Modern Loft Cabin

We loved the loft cabin which appeared brand new with modern amenities and furnishings. It was very roomy for two (could easily accommodate 2 couples or family of 4 or 5) and very comfortable. The cabin was very well but simply equipped with everything we needed. We continually commented on how well everything was built and furnished. It provided a great base for our exploration of Glacier National Park, Whitefish and The Bison Range. The outdoor fire pit area was very inviting surrounded by towering evergreens, flagstone paved, excellent fire pit and camp chairs provided. We enjoyed the provided wood and s’mores supplies. The owners who also live on the property reset the fire every day! Although we never saw them they were very responsive and provided a couple of space heaters when we were concerned about chilly mornings ( there are other heating systems for winter). We would definitely recommend this property just be aware that the last couple miles approaching the cabin are gravel.

New gorgeous private lofted log cabin near Glacier

We absolutely loved this property. Yes it's built on top of the owners house but they did an excellent job making it a private entrance and we never could even tell they were there. We were looking for a secluded cabin in the woods (and not in a parking lot surrounded by other cabins and people.) This was perfect! Very secluded in the woods and such beautiful surroundings. I would love to stay here over and over if we lived closer. It was extremely clean inside and felt brand new. The owners even had a fire ring, wood, and benches and supplies to roast s'mores over a ccampfire. Which was very relaxing and a lovely treat after returning from a long day in Glacier National park. Inside was also spacious enough all 5 of us had room to lounge and relax. It felt like being in a big treehouse, although once inside it felt like a sturdy spacious cabin. Highly recommend! I'd love for this to be my own vacation getaway and come frequently!
