We were looking for a base to go hiking in Yellowstone. We found the ideal location in Gardiner. The apartment was perfect for our needs . The host, Marie, was extremely helpful and accommodating. There was absolutely nothing we didn’t like . Pretty sure we’ll try to book there again if we come this way in the future .

We thorougly enjoyed our stay here!! The home is lovely, with everything you need to make your stay comfortable from tolietries, fresh linens, extra towels, information about how to use everything in the home and local recommendations for activities and restaurants. It is also close to the national park and restaurants, grocery store and gas stations. We had the pleasure of meeting the hosts Gary and Christina, they are very kind and welcoming. The farm fresh eggs from their chickens they provided us were delicious! When we come back to Glacier National Park we will definitely stay here again and we highly recommend it to others visiting the area!!

Great location. Easy travel to surrounding attractions, but just off the heavily traveled routes enough to avoid a lot of traffic. Great views and very peaceful location. We will be booking again for future visits to the Glacier/Whitefish area.

The refrigerator was stocked with milk, juice, bread and fresh eggs from their chickens which they replenished during our stay. They were so friendly and wanted to make sure our stay was great.

Columbia Falls -close to west glacier entrance

About 15-20 minutes to GNP west entrance. Hosts were very attentive. We had four adults. The house had everything we needed. The second bedroom is in the smaller side- our couple in that room had to keep their luggage in the living room. The master bedroom was plenty spacious. Christina made sure we had fresh eggs, orange juice, milk, bananas and bear spray (one canister) for hiking. The hosts live nearby and do come to the house (there is a detached garage and chicken coup) every day to water flowers and put the chickens in and out- this was not a problem for us- I vaguely recall a review that made this a negative-I’m not sure why. Christina replenished our egg supply- leaving us a fresh dozen and messaging to say she had left them at the front door. Gary gave us some information on local hikes. Getting in the house was easy- cleanup to check out was easy. The shower valves were a little tricky to get the temp correct. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this for a group of 2 couples or two adults with a couple of kids. The proximity to GNP was great for our visit. And Christina and Gary are very kind - it’s evident they want their guests to be comfortable and not need anything.

Clean house and good location for Glacier Park

Nice and clean home about 15 minutes from West Glacier entrance. Owners were very nice and accommodating. Not a very scenic location but perfect for a stay for Glacier Park. We would stay here again if we visit Glacier another time. No complaints for our stay. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Gary and Christina Watne

Host profile image
My husband and myself would like to be known as friendly and welcoming hosts. We love Montana, her mountains and lakes and we spend a lot of time outdoors, boating, canoeing, fishing or hiking.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property because it was a stand alone property that had a breath taking view of the Columbia mountains with views of both Sunrise and sunset. We also are in the windy corridor and love hearing the wind swoosh by.

What makes this property unique

Very close to the Airport, Columbia falls town, with the Columbia mountains upfront. The flathead river is a mile away, a water park almost next door. The Glacier National park is a bare 15 mins drive away.
