Perfect Basecamp for GNP Adventure
My family and I were attracted to this property due to its close proximity to the West Glacier park entrance and the overall size, number of bedrooms and baths for the price, which we found to be very reasonable for the area. This was our first visit to Glacier National Park. Our host, James, gave us useful tips prior to our arrival, maintained good communications throughout, and met us at the house upon our arrival to check us in and make sure we had everything we needed, including bear spray. The house exceeded our expectations. Cleanliness was immaculate and everything was well-maintained. The kitchen, living room, downstairs entertainment room, and four bedrooms gave our party of six adults ample space to spread out and relax. Its central location in Columbia Falls was convenient to the airport, grocery stores, restaurants, and entertainment while being only about 19 minutes to West Glacier. It was a great base for launching our adventures into the park and surrounding area. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks, James.

Family Vacation
My husband, myself and our adult children and spouses vacationed at Glacier National Park. We enjoyed coming back to a wonderful home that had plenty of room for all of us. The hosts were super nice, even greeted us with a bottle of wine for our anniversary which we celebrated on vacation. The house was conveniently located. A short drive to the park. A walk to nearby coffee shops, ice cream and restaurants. If we have a chance to come back we will definitely look into renting this property again!

Girls hiking trip
The house was perfect for our girls week long hiking trip to Glacier. It was a great house to come home to after a long day of hiking. All the rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable and the kitchen was big! Loved the rain shower in the downstairs bathroom. Both bathrooms were big. The location was perfect with just a short drive to the park entrance. There was nothing in this house we didn't like! Communication with the host was easy and they were very polite and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay in this home. It had everything thing we needed for our first time in Montana to visit GNP. It was very spacious for 6 adult and 2 kids. James was very welcoming and helpful answering any questions we may have had. The house is centrally located between the west entrance of the park and Whitefish. There are some great places to eat around the house as well. Overall we had an amazing time and highly recommend this home.

Awesome for a Glacier trip
Awesome residence. The owner met us personally after we arrived. Residence was just as we expected from the pictures. We stayed as a family. All bedrooms were suitable for use by adult couples. Air hockey machine was a fun retro throwback. Nicely located for access to Glacier, Whitefish, the airport, as well as Columbia Falls, itself! We would definitely select this unit again.

Our family of 10 stayed to explore GNP for a few days. Sry clean home with space for us all. Great communication from owner James. Only suggestion would be a few more items stocked in kitchen such as large bowls and cooking spray. Nice quiet neighborhood, short distance from West Glacier entrance but East glacier is a further hike! Thanks for the Montana hospitality!!

Glacier NP Stay
We had people coming in from Massachusetts and Colorado to stay at this property. A total of 8 were in our party. The hosts met us at the property to help us check in and get familiar with the area. This helped us acclimate tremendously. The house had a great backyard where we could all sit and relax after a long days hike in the park. Everything we needed to prepare meals was in the kitchen. Use of the garage was a plus. We are already talking about re-visiting Glacier and would certainly stay at this property if it is available.

We had a fun and relaxing stay in this beautiful and comfortable home. James was a very gracious and helpful host. He offered bear spray and suggestions for local events and eateries. This spacious house had everything we needed for our entire stay! We enjoyed the air hockey and cherry tree! Most of all we loved the comfortable beds which are not common in rental homes! We all slept well every night of our stay. We highly recommend this wonderful home to anyone who wants to visit Glacier. We had 7 people total and originally booked for 9. There was plenty of room for all of us!We are eve grateful to James for the privilege of staying in this home! Thanks for helping us to have a memorable and restful vacation in a beautiful area!

Excellent stay for Glacier National Park
We loved staying on this property! In a nice quiet neighborhood, but still close to stores/gas stations/restaurants and about 20 min from the entrance to the park. The house itself is very well taken care of and clean. It was particularly nice to have a well-stocked kitchen and laundry room. Our host was great at communication and we felt we had everything we needed and were happy with our stay. Would definitely recommend!

If you like doing laundry and smelling pet odors, this is the place!
We were greeted by the strong stench of pet urine and feces, and it went downhill from there. Instructions presented only upon our arrival required us to launder sheets and towels for five people even for a one night stay. Do the math. If you want to spend half of your vacation doing laundry and other unconventional late requirements from the property owner then this place is for you!! (We experienced unethical effort to unfairly work us for fees that have also left a bad taste in our mouths.).

This location was perfect to allow us to explore the area. It was close to Glacier National Park which allowed us to go into the park when there were less visitors. It also allowed us to visit other local areas. Close to the city pool and playground which was great for the kids. James and family met us at check-in to answer any questions we had. Our family had a great time and made many memories.

James and his family were absolutely awesome! They were more than accommodating and extremely responsive to all of our inquiries. The house was perfect also. Plenty of space for our group (4 adults, 4 kids), the house was extremely clean and well stocked. Columbia Falls is the perfect place to explore Glacier but also to explore Whitefish and Kalispell. We went to the park every day and explored the local breweries in the evening. I would highly recommend this house for all of your Glacier Park adventures.
