About Ellen
We are old cattle and dude ranchers. We built the Sunrise Home after we sold the ranch. The home was built to capture the full length of the Columbia Mountain range east of Kalispell. It sits above the Fabulous Flathead valley. Each hour of the day brings new sights with the glow of sunrise early, the green pastures below with horses grazing, and the twinkle of lights as night settles over the valley.
Why Ellen chose Glacier Country
We built this house to look onto a quiet beautful world that is known as the Flathead Valley. There are deer near and birds in the sky out front. Guests find all the comforts of home when coming back from an exciting day of learning, seeing and enjoying. This area has attracted tourists since the railroad companies first built the rails and hotels to allow people to visit.
What makes this house unique
It's quiet, yet not to far to go into town to hear the live music at the park or visit with friends. There's always another flower that needs to be planted to see if the deer that come each day will leave this new one alone. We never tire of watching the light on the mountain range across the flathead valley. There's plenty hiking right up the hill behind us if we want to stretch a leg before dinner.The home is available for a one party long term lease over the winter months.
It's is rented at a reasonable rate on a six month lease to the appropriate party who appreciate what the home and location offers. And there is always a glorious sunrise.

Best Vacation Ever!
My husband and I spent the week of Oct. 8-15, 2016 in this beautiful home. Montana's weather put on a show for us, and we were able to experience fall color and winter snow both during that time. The proximity of Sunrise House to Glacier National Park, Flathead Lake, Whitefish, and other great spots allowed us to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. This home is warm and inviting, and the views are drop-dead gorgeous. But who would have thought that the highlight of our trip would be having dinner with the owner, Ellen? If you're lucky, you might get to spend a little time with her, too. We highly recommend Sunrise House. You will not be disappointed!
Serenity, Mountain Vistas, and Much, Much, More!
The recipe for a dream vacation rental has a number of key ingredients my husband and I can't do without. They include comfort, cleanliness, and convenience. Sunrise House pulls all of these elements together in the most wonderful of ways. Throw in the magnificent views of the Rockies and you have a winning combination for sure. We're happy that we had the opportunity to spend more than a week in this lovely setting.
Sunrise House was homey. It was relaxing. It was quiet! That last quality is super important to us and so we were triply, triply thrilled with this rental. The presence of wildlife -- especially the adorable young deer and their mother that we frequently saw feeding -- reinforced that we were far from the suburbs of Chicago that we left behind.
Sunrise House delivers a wonderful sense of being remote, up a long drive on the top of a hill, while also offering convenient access to town and to Glacier National Park, which we visited several times. Of course, a review of this rental cannot end without commenting how wonderful Ellen was to work with: lovely, gracious, and overflowing with hospitality. We were grateful that she shared her beautiful home with us. Ellen: you rock!
Outstanding Home
Sunrise is absolutely wonderful. The home is beautiful, comfortable, and has everything you could ask for and more. The views will knock your socks off. And you will be treated to daily visits from deer. Consider them your welcoming treat. And Ellen is a treasure. You will learn a lot about her and her husband's interesting life. Thank you so much for helping us to have one of the best vacations ever.
I'd give it six stars if I could, better than the pictures!
One of the best places My wife and I have stayed in 30+ years of October trips to the mountains. Immaculate, well appointed, great kitchen, very comfortable beds, wraparound porch and big sky views from every window.The deck is a perfect place to chill with a glass of wine after a day of adventure.
Convenient to Kalispell and Rosauers Grocery, a great place to get your food and wine.
We took day trips to the north to Glacier and Whitefish and a day trip to the South around Flathead Lake to the bison range. Incredible views everywhere.
Finally, Ellen was wonderful. She was super helpful, interesting and fun! You have to read some of the newspaper articles in the house about the Hargrave cattle ranch and guest ranch that Ellen and Leo Hargrave owned. Definitely adds a Western charm to the trip.
Thank you Ellen for a wonderful time.
Beautiful house!
This house is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed our morning coffee (in the very cool mountain air) from the wrap-around deck. Thank you, Ellen, for a wonderful vacation rental. I wish we could have stayed longer!
Great stay!
Wife and I along with our best friends stayed at The Sunrise House 8/20-24/2014. It is a great house. Even better than the pictures. Very clean and well kept. Owner very helpful. Wish we could have met her.
Would recommend family and friends to stay here for sure. Maybe we can come back!

The Jewel Basin hiking complex is within 15 miles. There are many fly fishing outfitters in the area with shore wade and float options.
