A fire pit is perfect for relaxing and listening to the trees sway in the breeze and later for stargazing. There is a swing set and easy access to North Abbott Creek which is a paradise for nature lovers. Jaybird's was recently remodeled.

Convenient, comfortable, historic lodging

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jaybirds! The home was clean and comfortable with all the amenities one could hope for in a home away from home. Our 8lb Shih Tzu was welcome and enjoyed her stay as well. The card games provided were fun entertainment after a long day in nature. We look forward to coming back! Thank you for an excellent stay!!!

Quick trip to Glacier

We stayed for a couple of nights, in order to be close to the west entrance (it’s about 15 mins away). The house was great and is situated on a beautiful homestead that our toddler liked exploring. There’s a fire pit and outdoor seating, to enjoy those summer nights as well. We also found the beds super comfortable and would definitely stay here again when coming up with family!

Perfect for west glacier

This property suited our party of 6 perfectly. Close to West Glacier and also the town of Columbia Falls nearby for groceries and restaurants. The property was very clean and although we didn’t spend a ton of time there, when we did we really enjoyed the patio area. We could hear neighbors every now and then but never encountered anyone; property felt secluded.

Fantastic!!

This was a perfect property for our family of 5. I wouldn’t change a thing. I would definitely attempt to book this location again. The distance from GNP is ideal. We enjoyed the grill and firepit every night. The kitchen was stocked with supplies and the appliances appeared new. The home was well cared for and clean. It had a cozy cabin feel with modern conveniences. The property itself is beautiful and spacious. We loved the privacy of the Homestead. We were concerned about no AC since it was going to be a hot week but the temperature inside was perfect. Doyle was a great host! Thanks for a memorable vacation.

Cozy home, great location.

The location of Jaybirds is great. It’s in a quiet neighborhood about 15 minutes or less from The west entrance of Glacier, and it’s easy to get to towns like Whitefish from here. There are 7 homes on the property that are fairly close to each other, but it was still very quiet and peaceful. Doyle was super easy to work with, and the check in and check out process truly couldn’t be any simpler. There are a few things that could be improved to make your stay a little more relaxing, like replacing the dryer that took hours to dry towels, more towels and washcloths, and more silverware and plates (we bought some plastic and paper plates because there were only about 5 or 6 and we didn’t want to do dishes after every meal), but overall it actually worked out very well as a “command center” for exploring the park. We’ve stayed in a little bit nicer places with more frills (like a tv), but the location of Jaybirds was so good it saved us 40 minutes of drive time every day (20 minutes each way), which is huge when you consider how much time you spend in your car at Glacier. If you’re looking for a clean, simple place to rest and get cleaned up after a long day at the park you should definitely consider Jaybirds.

Late August at Jaybirds

We very much enjoyed our stay at Jaybird's. The location was perfect, rural and private with great outdoor spaces. The home was also close to Glacier, so that at the end of a long day, it did not take long to reach our accommodations. Inside, there was enough space to spread out, yet gather together when we ate. It was great to have 2 bathrooms and a large kitchen. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit. The grandkids liked the swing set and open space to through balls around. A few things that might make the stay even more perfect would-be air conditioning as we had really warm/humid conditions during our time in NW Montana. A few games/puzzles would have been utilized. Perhaps a screen to stream video to so multiple people could watch (in our case the track and field world championships) would be nice. And in the kitchen, more ice cube trays, an instant read thermometer and some covered microwave dishes. Thanks for being available to answer questions and provide a few items that were missing. We also appreciated that the home was clean and ready for our group.

Best Rental We Have Ever Experienced

Photos can't fully show how wonderful this place is. Clean, carefully maintained and family-friendly. Relaxing atmosphere with a great blend of modern convenience and old-time Montana feel. Quiet, comfortable, and close to so much. Nicely appointed kitchen, we lacked for nothing. We will definitely be back!
