Glacier Family Vacation

This location was perfect to allow us to explore the area. It was close to Glacier National Park which allowed us to go into the park when there were less visitors. It also allowed us to visit other local areas. Close to the city pool and playground which was great for the kids. James and family met us at check-in to answer any questions we had. Our family had a great time and made many memories.

Excellent stay for Glacier National Park

We loved staying on this property! In a nice quiet neighborhood, but still close to stores/gas stations/restaurants and about 20 min from the entrance to the park. The house itself is very well taken care of and clean. It was particularly nice to have a well-stocked kitchen and laundry room. Our host was great at communication and we felt we had everything we needed and were happy with our stay. Would definitely recommend!

This property was fantastic! Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Great outdoor space. Quiet neighborhood. Everything was as-listed. But the real treat is how close it is to everything you need. Within 15 minutes you can be in Kalispell or Whitefish. Within 30 minutes you can be at Glacier National Park West entrance. The hosts were above average on friendly and communicative! Offered lots of suggestions on places to visit with our kids’ ages in mind. Made sure we had everything we needed, including leaving us some bear spray before some hikes (which thankfully were not needed!). Absolutely would stay with these hosts again!

He was easy to communicate with and so helpful with recommendations. The house had plenty of room for us and we had fun playing air hockey. The location was convenient to Glacier.

We loved this home and area! There were 7 of us and we all had plenty of room. It had all of the essentials that we needed. The downstairs "fun" area was a huge hit with my family! The property was clean and well taken care of. The property manager was very friendly and easy to communicate with. He was very informative about local happenings and things to do. The area is beautiful with many places to go and see. We look forward to returning!

Great Experience

We had a wonderful stay in this home. It had everything thing we needed for our first time in Montana to visit GNP. It was very spacious for 6 adult and 2 kids. James was very welcoming and helpful answering any questions we may have had. The house is centrally located between the west entrance of the park and Whitefish. There are some great places to eat around the house as well. Overall we had an amazing time and highly recommend this home.

Family Vacation

My husband, myself and our adult children and spouses vacationed at Glacier National Park. We enjoyed coming back to a wonderful home that had plenty of room for all of us. The hosts were super nice, even greeted us with a bottle of wine for our anniversary which we celebrated on vacation. The house was conveniently located. A short drive to the park. A walk to nearby coffee shops, ice cream and restaurants. If we have a chance to come back we will definitely look into renting this property again!

Glacier family vacation

Our family of 10 stayed to explore GNP for a few days. Sry clean home with space for us all. Great communication from owner James. Only suggestion would be a few more items stocked in kitchen such as large bowls and cooking spray. Nice quiet neighborhood, short distance from West Glacier entrance but East glacier is a further hike! Thanks for the Montana hospitality!!

Awesome for a Glacier trip

Awesome residence. The owner met us personally after we arrived. Residence was just as we expected from the pictures. We stayed as a family. All bedrooms were suitable for use by adult couples. Air hockey machine was a fun retro throwback. Nicely located for access to Glacier, Whitefish, the airport, as well as Columbia Falls, itself! We would definitely select this unit again.

Girls hiking trip

The house was perfect for our girls week long hiking trip to Glacier. It was a great house to come home to after a long day of hiking. All the rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable and the kitchen was big! Loved the rain shower in the downstairs bathroom. Both bathrooms were big. The location was perfect with just a short drive to the park entrance. There was nothing in this house we didn't like! Communication with the host was easy and they were very polite and helpful.

Wonderful stay!

We had a great time in Montana and the house was wonderful! Our group of 7 was able to relax and enjoy the evenings at the house after exploring GNP during the day. We also went fishing nearby one day and my boys went to the aerial park as well, which they loved. The house was clean and spacious and we enjoyed making several meals during our stay. James and his wife were wonderful from beginning to end. Our boys loved playing the air hockey table too! We highly recommend this property and would gladly stay there again if we are in Montana in the future, which we hope to be, as it is amazing! Thank you so much for a terrific stay!

Great location, modern home with relaxing back yard

James’ home was perfect for our visit to Montana. It was clean, had a great location to Columbia Falls where we walked everywhere. The fenced in backyard was picture perfect with just the right amount of shade from a gorgeous tree in the afternoon to sit outside and just chill with friends. The fully equipped kitchen made our impromptu dinner of our daughter and friends easy to pull off and the grill outside was perfect for cooking our steaks. James went above and beyond in giving us recommendations for some activities we wanted to plan. I know we will be back and will hope to stay at this great home again.

Wonderful

Loved that the home was large enough to accommodate our two families for our family vacation/reunion while the up and downstairs living areas provided privacy for everyone. James was very friendly and very helpful in recommending many outdoor activities near Whitefish Mtn, Glacier National Park and Columbia Falls areas. The large, fenced yard provided a place for the children to burn off energy. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a place to stay while enjoying the beautiful Montana outdoors. The house was clean and adequately furnished. Hope to return later this year or next.

Glacier NP Stay

We had people coming in from Massachusetts and Colorado to stay at this property. A total of 8 were in our party. The hosts met us at the property to help us check in and get familiar with the area. This helped us acclimate tremendously. The house had a great backyard where we could all sit and relax after a long days hike in the park. Everything we needed to prepare meals was in the kitchen. Use of the garage was a plus. We are already talking about re-visiting Glacier and would certainly stay at this property if it is available.

Perfect for our family vacation to Glacier NP

This house was perfect for our family vacation to Glacier NP. We have 3 grown children and the house was great for us. On the main floor there is the kitchen, FR, 3 bedrooms & a bathroom. The master suite is in the beautifully finished basement, complete with laundry room, bathroom and additional family room. Columbia Falls is a cute small town we enjoyed exploring, about a 20minute drive to Glacier NP. James and his family where very accomidating, they met us at the house when we arrived. We didn't have any issues during our week long visit, a very nice place to stay in MT!

Perfect Basecamp for GNP Adventure

My family and I were attracted to this property due to its close proximity to the West Glacier park entrance and the overall size, number of bedrooms and baths for the price, which we found to be very reasonable for the area. This was our first visit to Glacier National Park. Our host, James, gave us useful tips prior to our arrival, maintained good communications throughout, and met us at the house upon our arrival to check us in and make sure we had everything we needed, including bear spray. The house exceeded our expectations. Cleanliness was immaculate and everything was well-maintained. The kitchen, living room, downstairs entertainment room, and four bedrooms gave our party of six adults ample space to spread out and relax. Its central location in Columbia Falls was convenient to the airport, grocery stores, restaurants, and entertainment while being only about 19 minutes to West Glacier. It was a great base for launching our adventures into the park and surrounding area. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks, James.
