Welcome to beautiful Flathead Valley, Big Mountain, and Glacier Park! We know you will have a wonderful experience and create lasting memories when you visit this lovely cabin located on the Flathead River where you can watch the deer, eagles, bears, coyotes….. and maybe the wolf or elk along the River! We’re a short drive to Glacier National Park, Whitefish, Columbia Falls, and downtown Kalispell. Rainbow’s End Vacation Cabin is the ideal location for a restful retreat or home base for adventures and exploring. You are welcome to fish from the shores of the river in front of the cabin and explore the 20 acres on which it is built!

Bring nothing but your clothes and choice of foods to eat, as everything else if provided! Rainbow’s End is designed for a family up to six, with one king bed in the master loft, and on the main floor, a queen in one bedroom, and a full with trundle in the other. Though only 8 miles from the very heart of Kalispell, this cabin feels like you are near the wilderness with ‘end of the road’ privacy.

The Cabin: The views from the cabin are simply stunning; guests love the sight of serene Flathead River, the majestic Swan Mountain Range, and the ever present wildlife. You are guaranteed to see deer, eagles, turkeys, and the occasional bear. The entire east side of the cabin is windows - a sliding glass door leads to a beautiful deck for hosting outdoor dinners in the summer and year-round stargazing . An open kitchen, dining and living area is perfect for entertaining and gatherings with loved ones. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will need to craft the perfect meal – cookware, small appliances, plating for 8, and much more. The comfortable living area is the ideal for getting cozy with a book, playing board games, or merely soaking in the view. A large master bedroom encompasses the loft with a king bed, a sitting area nook, and water closet. Two cozy bedrooms located on the main floor provide a queen bed, and full captain's bed with trundle. The main bathroom contains a walk-in shower and is stocked with plush towels and a hair dryer. A utility room, also on the main floor, contains a washer, dryer, ironing board, and iron. This lovely cabin was constructed in early 2014 therefore the amenities are fresh, new, and ready for you to use.

The Property: A one mile drive on a gravel road through the country will lead you to the cabin. The river boarders the east of the property, and we’ve kept the river side of our property open with a few tall trees for shade. Our property is kept natural and is not overly manicured – we love our connection with nature! The remainder of the property has a couple outbuildings for storage, and is covered with tall spruce and cottonwood trees. Guests are welcome to fish along certain sections of the riverbank or use property as a put-in or take out location for river float and fishing trips. Our location is an unspoiled place to retreat and relax to after a fun day of exploring all the region has to offer.

Recreation: Nearby recreational opportunities are endless! Guests have close and easy access to hiking, skiing (all forms), fly fishing, sport fishing, mountain biking, cycling, rock climbing, sight-seeing, bird watching, boating, whitewater rafting, and the list goes on and on. The cabin is fully stocked with games, movies, and books. A fire pit for story-telling, marshmallow roasting and stargazing is available nearly year round. The river is wild, cold, and unpredictable therefore swimming is never encouraged or recommended.

    This was truly a home away from home. The cabin was so comfortable and the scenery so breathtaking that we could have just stayed there our entire trip. Glenda was so sweet and we really had everything we needed (coffee, etc). Check in was a breeze and WiFi worked great! Already looking forward to next visit!!

    Glenda is a lovely host. The cabin has everything you need in a kitchen. The property is right on the Flathead River as described and we enjoyed our camp fire the first evening very much. The cabin is homey and comfortable. The only disappointment we had was the time of year for our visit and the daily temperatures causing the snow in the mountains to melt quickly bringing the river height up considerably during our stay and speeding up the flow of the river so we were not able to fish as we had hoped. Overall we enjoyed our stay. This location is very close to some great eateries and shopping. Thank you Glenda!

    Upon arrival you instantly feel how loved this cabin is. Easy to find and nestled into a fragrant forest of pines and deciduous trees the crystal clear Flathead river takes your breath away. Let the soft breezes and dappled sunlight lift your spirits as any worries or stress fade away. Fully stocked, very comfortable beds, linens, and generous shower, every effort has been made to welcome you. We saw bald eagles grabbing a snack on the shoreline, deer crossing the fast-moving water, ducks, robins building nest and bickering over territoryOne afternoon a rainstorm blew in and blessed us with a full rainbow shimmering against the bluish gray mountain backdropAt night the air was perfumed with dazzling stars above. A perfect and comfortable home away from home to set out on day trips to Glacier park, Whitefish, Hungry Horse and surrounding areas. The host is as charming as this beautiful gem and we will cherish our memories forever

    It's a struggle to leave the front deck or stop looking out the windows! We watched turkeys, ducks, geese, watched the deer cross the river everyday and listened the coyotes call in the night. My husband enjoyed fishing right out the front door also. This is the cleanest VRBO we've ever stayed in, fully stocked with EVERYTHING you need. The owner lives next door but don't let that scare away. They are fabulous and make you not want to leave! Have a conversation with them. You won't regret it😊 if you like the outdoors and enjoy wildlife, this is the place for you. I hope to make it back one day.

    My family of 4 spent the end of August in this cozy cabin by the river. We've been vacationing out west for years and this by far was the nicest place we've stayed. It was incredibly clean and well stocked. The drinking water was pristine. Location wise it was a great base camp for us to explore Glacier and Montana. The cabin itself is a great retreat. The river and wildlife are amazing. Loved drinking morning coffee on the beautiful deck. My sons used their kayaks and tried some fishing. Host Glenda is amazing and so knowledgeable about the area. Hoping to be back some time soon.

    If you need a quiet place to recharge your family battery, look no further than here. Tucked away on a magnificent piece of property right on the river will have you recharged and ready to face the day. This perfect cabin and the host made us feel at home and like family. 10/10 would recommend. We are already planning our next trip back.

    The cabin itself is beautifully constructed, with a view of the bend in the river that was glorious. My husband fished at the bend, and I enjoyed the ever-changing, clear, dancing water. The bed and furniture were comfortable, kitchen well-equipped, and best of all--delicious tap water--a true rarity these days. Thanks to Glenda for sharing this property!

    Whatever description given doesn’t do this property justice. Stunning views, peaceful location and a very well kept and stocked cabin. The loft bedroom with king bed has great morning light breaking through. We had excellent wi-fi coverage the entirety of our visit so if that’s a worry before booking, take heed that we had no hiccups. The only problem was I didn’t book a long enough visit and Glenda did try and work with us to see if we could stay an extra couple days but it wasn’t in the cards this time. True gem.
