A wonderful location near the National Park and a very convenient small town. The house had everything we needed available. The back yard was a great spot to hang out after a day at the park and it was clean and well maintained. The neighborhood was quite and clean. I wouldn’t hesitate in staying there again some day.

Property was perfect for our needs; short 20-30 minute drive to GNP, plenty of room, and all the amenities we needed and then some. Brandon was easy to contact whenever we had a question. Would stay here again in a heartbeat when we come back to GNP.

This house was better than their listing. Very clean and the extra care really shows. The back yard is amazing. I’ve stayed at homes for twice the price that were nowhere near the fabulousness of this home.

Awesome Stay!

Best rental stay we have had by far. Great neighborhood with plenty of deer, perfectly clean and comfortable. Cute town. As my dad said “very thoughtful place”. You’ll find everything you need here with lots of extras stocked throughout the house - snacks, extra towels, etc. Awesome visit. Can’t wait to come back!

Great location and home

Brandon and his property were a great landing place for myself and my family. The home had many personal touches, including snacks and toiletries. The shaded backyard was a beautiful oasis that our dogs and kiddo enjoyed playing in. When we ran into an issue with one of the bathrooms Brandon was quick to respond and help us out. Thank you for a lovely stay!

The house was in a great neighborhood on the edge of Columbia Falls, and it was an easy drive to Glacier National Park. This was our first time at a VRBO and we weren't sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. The house was very well equipped with kitchen utensils, games, and they even had bear spray for us to carry on the trails (fortunately, we didn't have to use it). It was great having coffee on the patio in the morning, and returning in the evening from the Park and relaxing together watching a movie. I was even able to park my car in the garage at night. If we are back in the area, I would definitely stay here again, and strongly recommend it if you're going to Glacier, Whitefish, or the surrounding area.

Clean, clean, clean and great location!

We loved this clean and well stocked property. The sign with our names by the door, bowl of snacks and fresh fruit were fantastic. Staying here made us close to the airport and national park. I would happily stay here again.

Great place to stay!

This was a lovely house to stay at. It had a shaded and fairly large yard for our dog and was in a nice neighborhood. We all really enjoyed the little extra touches included in the house I.e. little snacks, waters, extra toothpaste, shampoos, paper plates! All the stuff you might need and didn’t realize you did.

About the host

Hosted by Girl Friday Personal Assistant Services

We started Girl Friday in 2010 for a way for Laura to showcase her passion for decorating and party coordinating. We decided to move from Glacier Gate way closer to our day jobs but kept the house as a branch of service offered by the business. The success of the house has been exciting. At the end of each rental season, we look back at the written comments in the diary that guest love to share their experience and gratitude for all the extra attention Laura puts into their stay. It has been very rewarding, and we do not expect to slow down. If you are in search of an experience that will make unforgettable memories, get ahold of us to customize your experience. She will make it evident that she loves to make your stay special.

What makes this property unique

This property offers a quite family setting with the luxury of being minutes away from town and adventure. It is an area of town that is very proudly taken care of by all the homeowners who enjoy the clean and quite atmosphere.
