We've stayed before at this property and enjoy it each time. It is close to Glacier, shopping, and restaurants. Additionally, the kitchen, grill, and firepit make it easy to stay and enjoy some downtime.We'd definitely stay again!
Home was clean bright and well stocked with the basics. Very comfortable furnishings and beds. Great layout, including deck and fire pit with plenty of seating. Beautiful serene setting on the Flathead River
Perfect location for enjoying Glacier, Whitefish, Flathead and everything in betweenLarge house equipped for a family of 8 and beautiful outdoor property
The house had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed using the firepit near the river. Great location for Glacier Park as well as the Flathead Valley.
Beautiful location along the River, the home was warm, welcoming, well furnished and the kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable allowing a great night’s sleep after good, long days in the Park, which was only a few minutes away. We had a wonderful stay, thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!
Great place. Close to GNP west entrance (about 15 min) and an easy drive to many other locations. Hosts were very responsive to questions we had. The location on the river was wonderful and we were able to take advantage of the fire pit. Only negative was some road noise. We would stay there again.
We had a wonderful stay. The home was spotless, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable. The views from the property were absolutely beautiful and made every morning feel special. The location was ideal for exploring Glacier. The hosts were responsive and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.
My family stayed here to visit Glacier National Park. It was close to the West Entrance. Everything in the house was labeled and clean. We enjoyed watching the river flow out back and had some deer in the yard.
Beautiful home. Super clean, well stocked with kitchen items, immediate response to any questions we had, easy check in, roomy. Perfect for our family. We loved it. If we are able to come back to this area, we would try to get this place again. Highly recommend. All that and setting on the banks of the Flathead River. It was perfect.
This is a great property with beautiful river views. Great location near Glacier NP and close to restaurants and grocery. We especially enjoyed relaxing by the fire after a long day of hiking.
We had a great day at this property and it was everything that was advertised to be. The house is very nice, well start for activities, inconvenient to other things in the town.
We enjoyed our stay very much! The house was just as described, clean, convenient and nice. Kelly was quick to respond to the few questions we had. Would definitely stay here again!
Could not have been a more perfect house in a more perfect location. Super easy access to West Glacier! The six of us had plenty of room and the house is well appointed!
Perfect low key spot for two families to explore into Glacier and down to Flathead lake area. House was in solid shape, had everything we needed to prep food and have fun.
We had wonderful time exploring not only Glacier it the surrounding area. The house was perfectly located on the river, we had a campfire each evening after a long day. We had 6 in our party 3 adults and 3 teens, very comfortable. The owner was very prompt when the grill tank was emptied they brought us one the next day. A few must dos that are close…Cowgirl Coffee and Glacier distilling. Thursday night Brash Rodeo right in Columbia Falls. We hope to come back again and would stay here.

About the host
Hosted by Jeff and Kelly Fear
My family has been blessed to live in Columbia Falls, Montana since 2008. It has been an amazing place to raise a family of five. We cannot think of a better place enjoy the outdoors. If we are not rafting the rivers and paddle boarding the lakes you will find us whipping up some special cuisine in our kitchen.
Why they chose this property
Location, Location, Location! We wanted to provide guest with another location option that was more central in the Flathead Valley. We were pleased to find this four bedroom four bathroom spacious home conveniently located on Flathead River across from the Teakettle River boat access. The central location allows guest to take advantage of all there is to offer in the Flathead Valley and Glacier National Park. This freshly painted, newly furnished home has many amenities to make a vacation stay relaxing.
What makes this property unique
Spectacular views of the Flathead River can be seen from the deck that stretches across the back of the house or from the vaulted ceiling picture windows. For river and fishing enthusiasts this river is just steps from your back door.
