This place was the perfect spot for our Going to the Sun Road trip. We had a beautiful view of the wildlife right in the backyard. The owners very obviously put a lot of thought into making sure our accommodations were top notch! They even reached out to check in and responded to questions immediately. We would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for an amazing stat with a “Montana” vibe!

Our family enjoyed our stay and saw deer in the backyard almost every day of our stay. The hosts were very responsive to one issue we had and worked to make it right quickly. The house was a great landing spot for our trips to Glacier National Park. We were there during a heat wave but the fans and a few AC units in the bedroom and kitchen helped keep it comfortable in the evenings.

A wonderful home base for a weekend 70th birthday celebration. This house is a wonderland for kiddos - toys and equipment galore! It is so nice to not have to fly with a pack n play, booster seat, etc. for our almost one year old. And the train set and the outside house were particular hits with our two-year-old guest. The adults appreciated having lots of seating, a well appointed kitchen, a sweet fire pit, and comfy beds. Easy access to hiking, restaurants, etc. Thanks for hosting us!

Charming place to stay

Enjoyed our stay. It was a very charming place to stay. Loved the backyard, hot tub and seeing a deer or two in the early morning. Well stocked kitchen. We grilled steak outside one night.

Wonderful Stay!

We loved our stay at Andy & Erin’s house in Columbia Falls. The house had everything we needed and more! The location was perfect - quiet neighborhood, close to town, easy access to Glacier and Whitefish. Beds were comfy, house was clean, backyard was beautiful and serene. And a bonus - our kids loved all the fun toys :)

Great jumping off place for Glacier Park

Huge backyard and lots of bedrooms. Great family spot. Just enough outside of town that you feel like you are in the mountains. Yet close enough to stores and restaurants to be convenient. A family of deer with two little babies came to visit every morning and evening. A beautiful, peaceful location. 25 minute drive to Glacier. Beautiful, peacefulspot..

We had a GREAT time! Loved the hot tub! Kitchen was well stocked. 2 thoughts. The coffee pot drips REALLY slow - not sure if it needs to be cleaned or replaced. It would also be nice to have steps to get in the hot tub. We had a FABULOUS TIME!

We were traveling with a party of 6 to visit Glacier. This property is very convenient to the west entrance (about 25 minutes).The accommodations were perfect. The beds are very comfortable. The bunk beds are full size so there was plenty of room for the 3 young adults on the trip with us.The outdoor space was a big draw for us in selecting the property and it was exceptional. While we did not have a chance to use it, there is a hot tub. The fire pit area provided a perfect space for unwinding after a long day at the park. The back yard has plenty of room for fun outdoor activities. We had deer including fawns and a mama turkey with her babies making daily visits to the back yard. Finally, the hosts were very helpful both at check in and check out. They also reached out during our stay to ensure all was well. I highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Andy & Erin

Host profile image
We are a first responder couple that loves to travel! We wanted to create a space the felt like home where you could create those memories you always dreamed of.

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood is settled among the forest near downtown Columbia Falls. Conveniently located in the middle of it all. 15 min from Whitefish, 25 min from Glacier National Park, 10 min from Glacier International Airport, and 5 min from downtown Columbia Falls.

Our house is at the end of a quite cul de sac on a 1 acre property with a vacant 5 acre forested property to the rear. The yard frequents local wildlife including deer and wild turkeys. Within 5 minutes you can be fishing the Flathead River, hiking local trails, or shopping Nucleus Ave in downtown C Falls.

Our kids love playing in the landscaped backyard and riding bikes in the cul de sac. We enjoy taking walks through the neighborhood in the mornings and at dusk, often times we see deer and turkeys!

This location offers so many opportunities to make your Montana adventure whatever you imagined it to be!

What makes this property unique

We set our property up to feel like home. We love spending time with family and friends and this place has everything you need for a big group. Our lot is super secluded and private, it really feels like your own forest in the backyard. If you want to turn up the trip everything is located just a short drive away. We even have a large SUV available to rent. All you have to do is get here!
