Girls Trip to Glacier

The house was perfect for our girls trip to Glacier. It was clean and well stocked with all that we would need to both enjoy staying at the house and exploring the area. Great location and easy to get to all the places we wanted to go. Thanks for a great experience.

We had a great stay! The location was ideal for our visit to Glacier National Park and Whitefish, and the house lives up to its stellar reviews. It’s clear that the owners have great attention to detail. The house had everything we needed plus some extras that showed their thoughtfulness (a starter stick of butter—so nice to have for a short stay!).

Gorgeous Stay in Glacier!

Everything about this house was perfect! The location made it easy to access GNP, get to the grocery store, and visit Columbia Falls and Whitefish. Kate, the host, was so thoughtful and accommodating. She gave us directions for the most scenic route to Glacier, and she's thought of everything you need/want for a stay at GNP. The property is gorgeous and so clean! Check in and check out instructions were clearly communicated and super-easy! We highly recommend staying at the Hillside House!

Wonderful stay

Kate was so helpful from checking in to checking out. She came out and left the lights on and the garage open to help us check in easier since we did not get in until late at night. She even offered a ride to the airport on the last day if we needed. We got to try some huckleberries she picked around the property.House was very clean and spacious and kitchen/laundry was well stocked. We were about 20 minutes from the west entrance of Glacier National Park and there were coffee/breakfast places on the way to the park. Would visit again!

Kate was the ultimate hostess and the house has a peaceful mountain charm. We were visited by wild turkeys and deer. The beds were so comfortable and the inside fireplace kept us all warm. We hiked the trail behind the house and made smores in the fire pit. The folks in the community are friendly and i could just go on and on about how amazing our stay was.

Family trip end of May

The Hillside House was our home away from home for 5 days, 4 nights at the end of May. It had everything we needed and was close to the parks. The seclusion was delightful. We are so thankful to fit our family of 5 with plenty of room for everyone. Our 3 kids are now adults and we enjoyed our time together. Kate was very friendly and accommodating. Excellent place to stay!

Access to Glacier Area

This is a great home located near the west side park entrance. Three bedrooms, three baths, and a garage for the car. This is a bear area and bear spray is provided for guests as well. The only issue we had at all was the bathroom for the two non-master bedrooms tended to clog easily (there are plungers available). Very convenient and great hosts.

Terrific

Great property. The only thing and why I rated the property advertisement down a bit is this property on the site is listed with only 1 and 1/2 baths when it has 2 and 1/2. Not clarifying this on site May hurt the bookings you get

Perfect spot for our group!

We stayed for Memorial Day 2024 with 6 adults and 1 infant. It was the perfect space for us to enjoy the weekend. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces were lovely and well kept. It was nice to be able to explore the property and watch hummingbirds. The proximity to the park was very convenient. Host was very communicative. We would definitely book this place for a small group again!
