Jenny was a wonderful host and incredibly helpful with our booking. She stayed in contact leading up to our trip to help make sure it was a success. The home was wonderful, plenty of space for five of us to feel like we could hang out comfortably and enjoy each others company. The neighborhood is precious and we loved our morning walks to a nearby bakery. I’d absolutely recommend this booking and would stay again!

Beautiful and comfortable home in cozy neighborhood

We loved our stay at the historic Simpson house. The location and neighborhood were excellent- close proximity to GNP or any other day trips we wanted to take and lots of great amenities in downtown Kalispell. We were a group of 4 adults with a baby and the house was comfortable, well stocked, and clean. The pack n play, high chairs, and vintage toys were so thoughtful! We would definitely recommend this rental to other families.

This home was amazing! They have renovated but kept everything so historically appropriate. Such a warm and inviting home. We loved staying here. The only quirky thing is that the people staying in the extra bedrooms did have to come downstairs for their bathroom. But our guests didn’t seem to mind at all. We loved it here. Close to everything in Kalispell, beautiful porch, comfortable beds and furniture throughout. Fabulous!

Perfect place for a get-together

My siblings, from all over the country, came to visit my grandmother. It was a perfect spot for us (and just blocks from my grandmother's old house). Main Street was within walking distance and had lots of restaurant and craft brewery options. The house is BEAUTIFULLY renovated and had everything we needed for our stay. Jenny was quick with communication and attentive to whatever we needed. Will stay again when we come back.

Kalispell

The historic home is very nicely remodeled. We found the location to be excellent for all of our activities. The owners have put a lot of effort into making it a very comfortable place to stay. The home does not have central air conditioning but there is a ductless air conditioner upstairs and lots of fans. I would stay there again on our next visit to Kalispell.

Perfect Stay

Would 100% stay here again. We stayed with 8 of us (4 kids, 4 adults), visiting for a family memorial and then starting off a road trip back to California. The home is very clean, nicely decorated and well stocked with everything you need in both the kitchen and bath. I appreciated things being labeled so that we could easily communicate to the kids the rules of the house. Thank you!!!

About the host

Hosted by Jenn

Host profile image
Hi! I am Jenn! I am married to a really great guy named Josh and we have two amazing kids! As a family we LOVE to explore, travel, snowboard/ski -- Hike, Mountain Bike and camp! North Montana holds ALL of that! We love Kalispell and it's central location to everything that we enjoy in life. It has been a dream of ours for a really long time to host a VRBO of our own, and we are now doing that! We ADORE this home with all of our hearts, and we hope you see and feel the same love and charm of this historic 1901 treasure when you visit!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love at first sight. It was everything. The location of walking distance to the very inviting downtown historic main street of Kalispell. We fell in love with the Dutch colonial architecture of this 1901 home. We fell in love with the Simpson Family, Scottish immigrants that built this home, and began to imagine the stories that have lived in these walls. We love that this home is a Montana historic registered house and the plaque in the front of the house is just awesome - telling the story of the Simpson family. What a legacy of Montana history! We also love that this neighborhood is FULL of historical stories that live on today through plaques and remembrances of what was and is continuously being restored for today - for what is!

What makes this property unique

Staying in a historically registered home, is really in itself a unique opportunity. Let alone the central location of Kalispell, so close to it ALL! West Glacier entrance to Glacier National Park / Whitefish ski resort and the city of Whitefish / Black Tail Ski Resort / Flathead Lake / Bigfork - such a very cool town! A must see / Hungry Horse Dam oh and so much more!
