Mountain View Studio Apartment, Close to GNP

Buyer BEWARE! We booked in April for a June trip to visit Glacier National Park and Flathead Lake. Unless you are staying at one of the lodges in the park you can’t get into the park. We bought a $35 parks pass and then we’re told to buy additional $2 “going to the sun road” pass. After repeated attempts to get the pass to no avail we drove to the park and spoke with park ranger. They said we’re really sorry but last year they were slammed with people trying to get into the park and had the highways clogged for miles so they had to do something to limit access. Our other plan was to rent a boat or do tour on flathead lake. All of those shut down as well. Even trying to get into restaurants was difficult. Had to leave 2 days early as there really is nothing else to do. When inquired with property manager was told sorry but they were not willing to refund the 2 days. Not their fault. I believe they have/had a responsibility to advise we wouldn’t be able to get into the park and lake activities were basically shut down. The properties shower is so tiny you had to turn off water to suds up. If a normal size shower is important this is NOT the place for you. Owners seemed to care only about getting their money and not about the guests experience. Please be advised I researched online before going and NO indication of limited access to park or lake.

This property was very clean and homey. Had all amenities to meet our needs, just wished the rain had held off so we could enjoy the beautiful outdoor spaces! Close to West Glacier entrance and lots of good places to eat nearby. Communication with property manager/owners was easy with fast responses.

Everything about this property was as advertised. We were 20 minutes from the west entrance to Glacier, so easy access. The place was well supplied with everything needed for a very comfortable stay, including thoughtful extras that were much appreciated! There were plenty of towels, soaps, paper towels, cleaning supplies, laundry supplies, basic cooking needs including a well-stocked spice cabinet - so you don't need to pick up those extra items. We highly recommend this cute studio apartment!

Pros: Good location, good size studio, nice fridge, stove and oven. Nice gas barbecue grill. Nice gas fire pit on the deck with chairs to enjoy the evenings. Cons: Air conditioner is very loud and not adequate for the unit. Toilet seat did not fit the bowl, was only attached on one side and kept moving when you are on the seat. Microwave is outdated and did not work properly. Washing machine locked when we used it. The owner sent somebody to open it, but it needs to be repaired. The shower stall is very small and uncomfortable. Overall, it is a nice place to stay, close enough to the park but also close to the town in case you want to go to a restaurant in Columbia Falls

This studio was perfect for our trip to Glacier National Park! It was close to the park and fully stocked with things you'd need for day trips to the park (bear spray, cooler, beach towels, etc.). We also enjoyed the town and the recommendations the host gave!

This apartment had everything to make our stay perfect…very well appointed, comfortable and CUTE!! It was the perfect base for our trip to GNP. Highly recommend!!!

Location was very centralized and it had everything we needed. Very clean. Would highly recommend!

We had a perfect stay here during our time visiting Glacier National Park. Check in was clear and easy and communication with the host and property manager was excellent. Quick drive to Glacier National Park which made this an awesome home base for us. The space is clean with EVERYTHING you could need! The check in book is so helpful with recommendations for food/things to do in the area. We were so sad to leave this place! Would recommend to anyone and will definitely stay here again if we’re ever back near Glacier!

This was absolutely the perfect spot for visiting the Glacier National Park/Whitefish area in beautiful Montana; its off the beaten path so it is very quiet and peaceful. Only downside, the shower stall is quite small. Otherwise, thank you Laurie for your wonderful hospitality and conversations and hope to see you soon!! Best wishes

We really enjoyed this property! The property manager has thought of everything. The welcome basket is a very nice touch! Also enjoyed being able to do our laundry to reduce the hassle when we return home. This was the perfect location for us to hike at Glacier and relax in the evenings. Thank you!

Our first trip to Glacier, and this apartment was perfect. Being we went during the 4th of July I had heard restaurants were crowded. Shoot we’re late bloomers so most we’re closed by the time we were ready for dinner. This place has a tiny kitchen and grill which was great for us. Very clean and bed was very comfortable. Tree the OM was very accomadating with answering questions. My favorite part was fireworks from the deck. The whole valley was lite up, thought I was going to get whiplash from turning my head everywhere to watch. Would definitely recommend this place, if we ever make it back as I didn’t get to see everything in glacier ( due to bear activity) we’ll definitely stay here:))
