We loved it! It is secluded and very homey. Worked perfectly for our family. Would definitely stay there again and the owner was very responsive and great to work with.
Very hospitable, had all the dishes and coffee and firewood we would need including condiments as well which helped a ton during our stay. Beautiful property, secluded, trails you can walk. Would 100% stay here again.
Highly recommended if you’re visiting Glacier, this property would be just 15min away to the West Entrance.And our host Kate is the lovely host, she made the check-in process really easy and the house is so clean and comfortable.
Great location to Glacier West Entrance. House was very clean and comfortable. Kate was a great hostess! One of the best VRBO’s we have stayed in! Also saw wildlife right by the house(turkey, deer and elk). Highly recommend
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!).
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!
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.
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!
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.
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
House was immaculate, owner was extremely generous and a great communicator. The location was perfect to get between Kalispell and the Park. For the value, you can’t beat this house!
The location of the house was great while we were visiting Glacier National Park. The house had everything we needed and was extremely clean. Kate was very responsive in her communication. We would definitely stay here again.
This is a very nice home just a short drive to the park. Kate is very responsive and available for any questions you might have. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of soaps, detergents, towels. We even saw a herd of elk nearby! We definitely recommend this place! Thanks Kate!
Kate’s place was perfect for our family vacation of 5 adults. It was a quick drive to Glacier National Park and to many restaurants and shops. Place was clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend!
