About this property

The Red Barn-Perfect GNP Base Camp. 5 Star Luxury on the farm. Clean & Comfy.

Enjoy a retreat to nature in our privately owned and managed 2-Bedroom Barn. Plan a romantic getaway or honeymoon, a couples’ adventure with friends, or family trip to Glacier National Park.
Our 2nd story loft features exceptionally high standards for convenience including luxurious Egyptian cotton sheeting, spa robes, a new oversized walk-in shower, and memory-foam, pillowtop mattresses. Furnishings are stylish yet comfortable. Hardwood floors, white marble tile, butcher block countertops and exposed beams create a warm ambiance while the space retains a light and airy atmosphere with plenty of natural light flooding in through large windows.
The open floor plan allows for sweeping views of breathtaking mountains, the surrounding farm land, and a nearby water preserve. The two acre- property is nestled on the corner next to an 800 acre, fourth-generation family farm. The Red Barn is adjacent to our home and is located off a quiet country road. From the large private deck you can enjoy excellent wildlife and bird viewing including large herds of whitetail and mule deer grazing, wild turkeys, geese, and songbirds. Swans and bald eagles frequent the area as well. The farm is also home to an occasional moose, elk, bear, fox, coyote, and mountain lion. The deck is also the best view of the beautiful mountain waterfall in addition to views of the entire Swan Mountain Range and the Badrock Canyon leading to Glacier National Park.
While tucked away next to the farm at the base of the mountain, our location has convenient, easy access to everything the Flathead Valley has to offer. Driving times to local hot spots make this the perfect lodging option:

• 15 minutes to Glacier National Park
• 20 minutes to the resort town of Whitefish
• 20 minutes to Bigfork and Flathead Lake, largest freshwater lake West of the Mississippi
• 20 minutes to the shopping and dining of Kalispell
•10 minutes to Columbia Falls, gateway to Glacier National Park
• 35 minutes to the top of Whitefish Mountain Resort
• 20 minutes to the airport

The Barn sleeps 4 in two bedrooms (1 king bed, 1 queen bed) and is prepared with everything you need including a fully-equipped kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. After a day of hiking and adventure clean up with a full-sized washer and dryer, plush linens, and an over-sized rain shower head. Settle in with a HD flat-screen TV or stream a movie while sitting next to the cozy fireplace. BBQ on the deck or just sit back with a glass of wine and soak in the alpine glow.

Key amenities include:
Large HDTV, DVD player
High-Speed wireless internet throughout home
Fully-equipped kitchen
Large kitchen island with 2-seat breakfast bar
Stainless appliances: refrigerator with filtered water and ice, 4 burner smooth top range and oven, dishwasher
Butcher block countertops and hardwood floors
Vaulted ceiling with beams
Unmatched Mountain views
Open floor plan
Dining table
Electric fireplace
Bath includes washer and dryer available for your use

The red barn was absolutely gorgeous and the amenities were fantastic. They had the best stocked kitchen of any rental we have stayed in. The cleanliness was also top tier (WAY better than other rentals, even the baseboards didn’t have dust & no shower mold was present!). The location to Glacier was great but also the access to Columbia Falls & Kalispell was great. Grocery store was a few minutes away. Also tried the meat from their farm and we highly recommend! Thanks for a great stay!

Cozy Barn Stay

The space was incredibly welcoming with really great decorative touches. It was spotless clean and had all of the amentities needed. The views were awesome too. Super close to West Glacier park entrance and a short drive into town for food and groceries. Loved the guide to Glacier and local hikes, it really helped plan out our days!

This is a beautiful property that is a perfect distance from GNP. Even though it is next to the owner's property it still felt extremely private. Our 10 year old loved watching the deer from the deck. Everything you need is provided and the washer and dryer are ideal after a day of hiking. Alyson was easy to communicate with and sent all instructions in a timely fashion.

Wonderful stay on a beautiful farm!

We had a terrific stay at Alyson's place in Columbia Falls - it was our first visit to Montana, and we fell in love! The location is great for exploring the west side of Glacier - we spent every day in the park, and it was super easy to get to (even early in the morning). Alyson and her family were gracious hosts, and the place was perfectly appointed. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect GNP base camp

We stayed at the Red Barn for 4 days while visiting Glacier National Park. We could not have picked a better place to stay! The accommodations were very comfortable and clean and the expansive deck was perfect for watching the deer in the evenings and stargazing at night. It was an easy drive over to Glacier and the perfect place to unwind after a long day of hiking.

This was a great location to visit Glacier National Park and surroundings. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Owners were great. No A/C so was a bit warm until evening but sitting on the deck watching the deer in the field and the stars at night made up for it. Would highly recommend.

The red barn is beautifully appointed with all the comforts of home in an exquisite setting. It is close to Glacier Park and a quick drive to Columbus Falls for meals out. We loved hanging out on the deck for evening meals, and even for bird watching. We saw a prairie falcon and a northern harrier.

About the host

Hosted by Alyson Dorr

Host profile image
Casey and I were both born and raised in Northwest Montana. In fact, I was raised right on the adjacent family farm. After going to college and living in Oregon, we moved home to raise our children in this idyllic setting. After 14 years as a high school English teacher I now manage the property, work as stylist and shop keeper (visit my shop Red Barn Design at Station 8 Antiques in town), and most of all-I enjoy being mom. Casey works for a technology company . We love to ski, snowshoe, kayak, bike, hike, camp, swim, boat, fish, and of course, take in the views- particularly from our back yard. Our girls are delightful and the best adventure yet. They are definitely farm girls. Next door you'll see a couple of "retired" horses the girls like to ride too. According to the reviews, our dog, Cedar, was a favorite with our guest, but sadly at almost 15-years-old, she passed away. We haven't found a new pup to replace her quite yet. We also raise chickens and a huge garden. Our daughters keep pigs on the farm too but you won't smell them!

Why they chose this property

We think the Flathead is the ideal place to live and work, and while we have both traveled extensively across the globe, no wanderlust makes us question calling this our home. As we travel, we look for unique places to stay - we believe the places and people we've met on our adventures are as important as the places we've seen. We've work hard to put that thought into the details of the Red Barn - so that your stay with us will be a part of your visit to Montana, not just a place you've slept.
We would love to invite you to be our guest. We offer to you our wonderful retreat and the inside scoop on what to do and where to go in the Flathead. We look forward to hearing from you.

What makes this property unique

Having been raised on the family farm, we built the Red Barn to incorporate all the things we love about rural Montana farm life while also maintaining luxury standards we expect when we travel. Beyond the amenities of our property, what really makes the Red Barn a unique stay is the connection to nature you will feel while you are here. In the spring and early summer you can literally hear the water plummeting from the mountain. As a frequent visitor to Glacier Park, I have continue to see more wildlife off the back deck, than on the trails in the Park. At the same time, the property has all the modern conveniences, is impeccably clean and is perfectly situated as a base camp for year-round adventures in the Flathead Valley.
