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.
