Magical stay near Glacier

Holly was amazing and gave great instructions as well as fantastic ideas for things to do and places to visit including dining and fun for the family. We were greeted morning and evening by horses just over the fence and the sunrises and sunsets were stunning. We loved the big windows where we could watch whitetail deer and fauns eating the grass. Would absolutely stay again if we get time chance to return.

Great stay at Holly’s!

Holly is a great host! Everything is as pictured - the house is very comfortable and has all the amenities that make for an easy stay. She left a note with recommendations for restaurants and convenient shops and left delicious local treats to enjoy. She accommodated our request for a pack n play and was very responsive to all questions. Columbia Falls is a convenient spot to enjoy GNP and the Flathead Valley area. We had a great stay and would be happy to return if we’re in the area!

Great home for the week

Everything was excellent: the check-in/checkout, views, beds, and ability to cook and wash clothes. Holly even stocked some puzzles and games for family time! My five year old wanted to stay forever and be friends with the horses. Location was also close to so many different activities and the National Park. Couldn't be happier with our stay!!

Great week in the home of the best hostess ever. We have never been pampered by an owner as much as were by Holly. We liked her so much we asked to meet her. If you’re going to Glaciar National rent from her. The house is in Columbia Falls. Central to everything.You’ll be glad you did!

We loved getting to know Holly through her pictures and texts messages. She left us a little check-in treat which were quite yummy and gone before we left the next day! Home was very charming and comfortable for our weary bones after spending every day at GNP! The town is also quite charming. Would definitely book again!

Prefect welcome. We felt so wanted the min we open the door. It just got better from there.

This area is beautiful! The house is in a prefect setting and not far from the park. Holly had seen to providing everything we could need. We had a small mishap and she took care of us thru it. If we come this way again we will stay with her.

Glacier getaway

Holly was so easy to work with (even with an area power outage). The jam and pastries were a hit with all of us. The house was very clean and kitchen had many extras for our use. The deer and turkeys were fun to watch. Would recommend this to everyone.

Great location and lovely home

Located 20 miles from Glacier National park and 10 minutes from Columbia Falls. The home is as perfect as the pictures. We had horses in the field behind the house. Everyday a family of deer would hang out in the yard. Would definitely stay there again. The host, Holly, is awesome.

Great place near West Glacier

This place is a gem. The house is well appointed, clean and comfortable. My kids loved going to visit the horses at the fence line everyday. The deck is nice to chill out on in the evenings. Only a ten minute drive to Columbia Falls or 15-20 to Kalispell. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great place to stay and explore Glacier

We made this house our home base as we explored Glacier. It worked out great. Short drive to the West entrance. The house was well stocked and even had some extra items such as a cooler and bear spray that was so helpful as we explored the park. It was a beautiful place to come home to after a busy day. Very peaceful and quiet. We had 6 adults, and it was very comfortable and a well-stocked house. Would definitely stay there again.

Perfection!

Everything about this home was perfect. All you need is your suitcase & a few groceries & you’re all set for a great stay. Attention to detail goes a long way and Holly provides above & beyond. So much so that we didn’t have to contact her for a single need. Beautiful home, beautiful scenery, and convenient to all the towns & attractions. Will definitely book again next year!

Perfect location, comfortable and fully appointed family home

Holly's house was just right for our extended family stay while we explored Glacier. We used the fire pit every evening, grilled steaks from "Perfect Cut" butcher (thanks for the recommendation, Holly!), and enjoyed dinners on the deck. It's so nice to stay in a house that actually has spices in the kitchen cabinet! Beds were all comfortable, lots of good towels, washer and dryer and laundry detergent, a good selection of maps of the park and area, and a jar of homemade huckleberry preserves - everything we needed for a terrific stay - thank you, Holly!

Beautifully furnished home in idyllic setting

This home is beautiful! The bedrooms are spacious, the furnishings are beautiful, and the home is clean and well stocked. Communications with host was superb. The host left us huckleberry jam to enjoy, which we did! The back deck overlooks a horse pasture with mountains in the back, facing the sunset! This is a very private and quiet setting. We saw deer and wild turkey, as well as horses. I highly recommend this lodging.

GNP Getaway

Our first visit to Glacier was perfect, in part due to our home. We had plenty of room to spread out after a long day of driving and hiking. The back deck was so peaceful; we hung out in the morning for breakfast and in the evening for cocktails and dinner. The horses in the pasture were friendly, as were the deer and cats near the property. Holly, the homeowner, left baked goods, coffee, recommendations, and bear spray! What we forgot, she provided. Such a thoughtful host from start to finish!

Spectacular Stay in Northern Montana!

I have been using VRBO for over 12 years now and have stayed at multiple homes. This home, by far, was one of my favorites! Only tied in the running for another home I stayed at in Southern Montana. Montana is just so beautiful! ☺️❤️ Holly was an AMAZING hostess. We had fresh flowers, fresh local coffee and pastries, and fresh homemade huckleberry jam waiting for us upon our arrival. Those little touches go a long way and were so appreciated! The house was a five out of five in every way! We especially enjoyed seeing the horses every morning and afternoon! It became a highlight of our trip. The location was perfect and was very easy to get to Glacier National as well as other fun areas such as Whitefish and Bigfork. I cannot recommend this house enough! Thank you, Holly, for an exceptional stay!

A piece of Montana Heaven

This home was perfect for our Glacier NP vacation. It’s location was easy to get to and being out away from town was perfect! The yard was beautiful. We truly enjoyed watching Holly’s horse in the field behind us. The neighbors had animals as well, but you never heard them. It was very quiet here. We enjoyed watching the sunset off of the back deck. Holly left us the name of a local butcher. Using the gas grill we were able to have an amazing dinner each night! The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Holly was a delight. She was very easy to reach and very nice. She even left us bear spray to take on our hikes. Along with amazing breakfast rolls and a sample of huckleberry jam. We also used a lunch bag type cooler that Holly had there. It really came in handy for our picnic lunches in the park. We were about 25-30 minutes from the west entrance. 5 minutes from downtown Columbia Falls. Such a great location!! We can’t wait to go back to Glacier and hope to stay here again!

family trip to Glacier National.

This darling 3 bedroom home was perfect for our family trip to Glacier NP. It’s only 25 minutes to park entrance. A short drive to grocery stores and restaurants. Love that ‘country’ feel as this property has horses, and deer in the backyard! It is equipped with ALL the amenities you could think of, Bbq, fire pit, fully stocked kitchen, bear spray, comfortable beds, beautiful decorations, and one of the most friendliest hosts I’ve ever dealt with. Holly was so helpful and gracious. She had fresh cut flowers throughout the house, and when we arrived she had a gift for us. Wow! Over the top! I would most definitely stay here again.

Fantastic GNP vacation

Loved this home and the amazingly comfortable beds. Holly is a fantastic hostess, making sure we had everything we need and more. The setting is so peaceful and beautiful. We were treated with visits 2 does and their fawns each morning in addition to the horses. It was perfect for our daily trips into Glacier National Park and into town for groceries and eateries. If we get the opportunity to return, we will definitely choose Holly’s home again.
