What a great place! We enjoyed our stay so much, and Marni was the BEST! The setting was beautiful, the place was very clean and spacious, and it was close to GNP. Marni went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Her hospitality and our stay was top-notched! We’re ready to go back!

Great stay in the Glacier National Park/Columbia Falls area

We had a terrific stay at Marni and Bill's place. It was within about 20 minutes of the park and a perfect place to relax after long days of hiking. Everything was new and very clean. We even got to visit with the adorable goats! Beds were super comfortable! We would stay here again if we are in the area!
