    The location was outstanding for all of the local attractions. It was extremely comfortable and tastefully decorated. If I could give 10 stars I would. We would never hesitate to stay here again or to recommend it to others. It is perfect!

    This is one of the more comfortable rentals I’ve stayed in- the kitchen is well stocked with cookware and basic spices, there is easy to use climate control, you can borrow sunscreen, bug spray, or bear spray, and there is a kettle for the tea drinkers instead of a keurig. During my stay I saw deer and turkeys out front, which was nice. There are also a few tradeoffs you may want to consider: - You have shared walls with the hosts with quite a bit of noise bleed. I could hear meals, conversations, and some upset pups when they would leave the house. Closer quarters than I anticipated; this felt more like staying in someone’s house with them at home. - One night our shared smoke detectors went off due to an issue in the owner’s side of the house and a ladder had to be procured from offsite to fix the issue, creating a late night. Hopefully just a one-off issue. - The internet speed was too unreliable to FaceTime family, so keep this in mind if you’d like to use this as a remote work spot.

    It was one of the best properties my family and I have stayed in. It had everything that we needed and the location was very convenient for our trip. Most of all, Jennifer, the owner was great in responding to our needs and provided us with so much useful information. I would highly recommend staying here for anyone planning to visit Glacier National Park. Thank you for the pleasant experience!!!

    We can't say enough about our stay at Chug-A-Springs. It was an excellent location from all of the local hot spots but yet quiet and secluded. The place was tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable. Our host and hostess were very friendly and sent out several emails telling us about the area ahead of time which included places to visit and places to eat. They are both very knowledgable about the area and very willing to answer any questions. It was a delight to meet them both and to stay at such a nice home away from home. If we plan another vacation in the area no doubt this will be our forever place to stay.

    Robert and Jenny hit it out of the park again! From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. The serenity and solitude when you walk in- the conveniences and lay out worked just perfect. Opening the windows and smelling the fresh air, or launching off to see Glacier it’s the perfect location! Bed is super comfy, bathroom is perfect and reminiscent of those at The Fort. You pull right up and park right next to Chug A Lug- and you feel like you’re at your own home. The unit feels like something you’d own- nestled among a grove of mature pine trees and minutes from Glacier- in my opinion- the best rental closest to Glacier yet close to Columbia Falls- Whitefish and Kalispell. I already booked my next stay there. Couldn’t recommend this rental more! Thanks Jenny and Robert for all these great places to stay! Love them all!
