Great Rental

July 2025 decent proximity to West Glacier entrance (about 20 minutes), and about 5 to restaurants and shopping in Columbia Falls. Host was attentive and addressed our needs. The highway noise is tolerable, but if you’re a light sleeper and like windows opens, choose the back bedroom. Saw deer on sight and definitely felt safe.

Great Location

This house was clean and perfect for our needs. It was a quick 15 min drive to Glacier National Park and plenty of stores and restaurants close by. Everything we needed was already at the house. A short drive to White Fish, which was nice. I also liked the gate to the driveway so random people didn’t pull in. Made me feel safer! The beds were also really comfortable!

Everything about the property is very good to excellent, except the highway noise. Property is located on a busy highway and the traffic noise in the front bedroom is an issue to a lite sleeper.

GNP trip

The house was super cute and clean, with everything as described. Jo was very nice and easy to communicate with. It was great to have the washer/dryer to do laundry, and the location close to the West entrance to the park was perfect. Having some fresh raspberries to pick outside was an unexpected bonus!

Nice place close to glacier and whitefish for hiking. We didn’t realize it was right off the main highway but really it was fine and not too noisy. Clean and lots of supplies were appreciated.

Amazing Location for Glacier and Whitefish Adventures

My son and I stayed at this super-conveniently located house for four nights. The house and property are as-described. The living space is actually larger than it appears in the photos - - tons of room to spread out and organize gear in the living room. Tons of light through large windows. We saw numerous deer playing in the backyard in the mornings and evenings. Just minutes from Glacier's West entrance and only a few minutes from Columbia Falls (or a little further to Whitefish) - so tons to do without any long car rides. Check-in was a breeze and great communication with host. Loved our trip! Thank you!!

Thumbs up for house and hosts

House was clean, neat, bright and comfortable. My plans had to change a bit last minute to avoid more challenging hikes due to a minor injury. Our host, Jo, responded to my request with some additional ideas for us. Great info and very helpful. We had a great time! Highly recommend this stay.

Girl's Hiking Trip

We had a great time here! My only negative was that google maps hsd s hard timr finding it but the directions provided by the host are perfect. I was a bit concerned at first because the property is close to a busy road but the fence and security gate eased all of my worries. Once you are inside, you cant even hear any road noise. The property was clean and comfortable! We had everything we needed - clear instructions, extra linens, comfy beds, clean water, wifi. Would definitely recommend this as a perfect location for those wanting to check out Glacier National Park because you are close enough to both the West entrance and kalispell/whitefish.
