Nest was the Best!!!
Please thank Mollie and Travis for us! They gave us some great recommendations near town. The place was an excellent location and place to rest for a nice vacation.
We traveled from South Carolina to stay here and it was everything we could have hoped for! It's the perfect place to stay with your spouse. It's very well equipped with pots/pans, etc. Loved that they provided bear spray, bug spray and sunscreen for us and were readily available when we needed to contact them. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for being our guests for your late summer trip to Columbia Falls! We're so happy that Glacier Nest was the perfect homebase for exploring the Park and town. We hope to see. you again sometime soon!
The location was perfect for hoping in and out of the park. It was quiet and just out of town so no crowds of people to deal with.
Perfect. They thought of everything.

We're so happy you found Glacier Nest to be the perfect stay for your trip to GNP! Thank you so much for the 5 star review!
Our stay here exceeded our expectations. The space itself is really nicely updated and is the perfect size for two people. The hosts provided almost everything you’d need during your stay, including coolers, bear spray, bug spray, and sunscreen. The bed is amazingly comfortable and perfect after a long day of hiking. The location is close to the west entrance of Glacier and Whitefish, and is really close to tons of restaurants and coffee spots. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here 3 nights while visiting Glacier National Park. The cabin was clean and spacious (for 2 people). Little extras like the bear claw tub and cooler were icing on the cake. We even saw a buck and doe in the yard. Highly recommend.

We appreciate the opportunity to host you and this 5 star review! We're glad to hear that you loved Glacier Nest and hope to see you again sometime soon!
Cozy studio in a good location. The place was clean and had a kitchen with major appliances. Additional amenities such as bear sprays, insulated lunch bags, keurig coffemaker, netflix/ hulu channels and picinc chairs made it a pleasant experience. The bed was super comfy.
One negative is the sliding door to the bathroom that is on a septic system. Make sure to keep the bathroom window open to avoid smells. The wifi router also seemed to be disconnected, but the area has good cell phone reception.

Thank you for this very helpful 5 star review! We are always interested in detailed feedback on how we can improve every guest experience. We hope you think of us any time you're in the area!
My husband and I absolutely loved our stay!
The kitchen had everything we needed so we didn’t have to purchase extras like aluminum foil, coffee, or salt and pepper. (Just to name a few)
Everything was clean and very nice. If I had to choose one minor thing to nit pick, it would be for nicer toilet paper but seriously…it was fine!
It is important to prepare for the fact that there is no washer/dryer in the unit so you will need to plan to use the one of the local laundromats or hand wash and hang. Again, not a big deal but be sure you understand that prior to booking.
If we are ever back in the area, just the two of us, we would definitely stay here again!!
