Amazing Vacation!

This house is fabulous- just 20 ish minutes from the West Glacier entrance and the same to Kalispell airport. Everything here is luxurious - linens, beds, showers, towels, all of the little amenities for cooking and bathrooms were so helpful. Jennifer is quick to communicate and go above and beyond- even put away our instacart orders of groceries before we arrived. Issue with fridge and questions about hot tub, etc were quickly resolved. We were so pleased.

What a spectacular home. A perfect place for our family,

This home is immaculate. The attention to detail and the incredibly stocked kitchen were just two of the many features that made our family stay so wonderful. The owner was so attentive and helpful and was so responsive. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to return to this magical home!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Betts

Host profile image
After selling my highly successful Happy Trails Ski House Vacation Rental and purchasing a new home in Whitefish, I decided to offer my Historic Columbia Falls Ranch as a Summer Vacation Rental! The Lodge at Columbia Falls will not disappoint! As a Premier Partner with VRBO with my Ski House, I never had less than a Five Star Review!!! My family moved to the Flathead Valley in 1991, so I have been vacationing here for over 30 years. I decided to re-locate to Montana permanently in 2017 and have no regrets whatsoever! I feel like I will need three lifetimes to explore Glacier National Park alone! But, I will try! (And, yes, that picture is of a horse. Not me. But, he's MY horse. His name is Jack!)

Why they chose this property

Properties that can accommodate large groups are in short supply in Flathead County, Montana. Even then, most are booked solid throughout the summer over a year in advance. Not only is The Lodge at Columbia Falls able to accommodate 16 Guests, it will do so in absolute LUXURY. No Bunk Beds! No Dining Seating for 8 for a property that purportedly sleeps 24! Why would you want to eat in shifts? I wouldn't! Trust me. I've been studying my potential competition for over 4 years now, and there is absolutely NOTHING LIKE The Lodge at Columbia Falls!

What makes this property unique

Let's face it! Montana really does have Four Seasons! Summer temperatures can reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the Summer. Only a fraction of properties have Central Air Conditioning. That said, I believe there are fewer than 25 private swimming pools in our County of 100K plus residents. Built in 2022, The Lodge at Columbia Falls has an exquisite, Indoor Saltwater Swimming Pool, with sliding glass doors opening to the expansive outdoor deck, for indoor/outdoor swimming and sunbathing.
