Columbia Falls, Montana
Our privately owned home is centrally located in the valley, providing a quiet, secluded environment off of a country road with comfortable ranch-style accommodations. Equipped with all the conveniences of home, enjoy wildlife, sunsets, and views from the covered front porch or large fenced back yard. We are close to the airport, (15 mins) Glacier National Park, (20 mins), Whitefish Mountain Resort (35 mins), Bigfork/Flathead Lake (25 mins).
We are located in Columbia Falls, known as the Gateway to Glacier. It is an easy drive to get to anywhere you want to go, and private enough you feel as though you are far away from it all! We lived in this house for several years, and my husband put a lot of work into it. I would say that it has a MT cozy feel to it.
The space itself is an open floor plan, with bedrooms on opposite sides of the house. The master bedroom (Tempur-Pedic queen bed) has a large walk-in closet and bathroom with a walk-in shower and jacuzzi bathtub. The second bathroom is close to the guest bedroom (queen bed), with a walk-in shower. The living area, dining area, and kitchen are open in the center of the house. The kitchen is stocked with pretty much everything you'll need (and if you don't find it there, let me know and I'll bring it over). There is another room in the back of the house with a futon, washer/dryer, kid toys and games (pack n play and blowup mattress).
The house sits on 1.25 acres, adjacent to 140 undeveloped acres (except one big house) to the back of it. The country road to get to our house is about 0.25 miles and flat. We have a large drive through driveway with plenty of room for extra cars or campers. We have a big back yard that is fenced for your furry friends where you'll find a fire pit, picnic table, and gas grill. The front covered porch is a great place to sit and take in the views of the Whitefish Range and Resort. We live close by on a few acres, that you can see from the house. We are an active family who takes advantage of everything Northwest Montana has to offer and are happy to share our knowledge, but also respect your privacy. If you'd like tips on things to do let me know, otherwise we will stay out of your way.
As far as distances/times to places of interest, it is about four miles to Columbia Falls downtown. You'll find great restaurants, a brewery, grocery stores, liquor store, post office, library, and some really cool coffee shops.
It is roughly twenty minutes to Glacier National Park, Whitefish, Kalispell, Bigfork, and the airport. Some other popular sights:

If you have a pet, they are welcome for $25 a night. Please make sure they are respectful of our furniture just like you would be. And please, pick up after them!
Relaxed, peaceful environment. Clean, comfortable, homey. Hosts thoughtful about appointing house, very responsive to questions. Works well as base to Glacier, but reasonably close to groceries, etc. Enjoyed watching turkey and deer browse near house. Would happily stay here again.
We loved our stay here. The house was immaculate and quiet in the country, but close enough to Columbia Falls, Kaispell and White Fish and Glacier National park. We saw turkey and deer outside our front door everyday and loved sitting outside enjoying the piece and quiet. We travel with our two pups, so it was beyond wonderful to have a big fenced in back yard for them to run around in. The house and location are even better than pictured and again it was squeaky clean. The beds we’re comfortable and even though we didn’t cook, the kitchen looked well stocked. Most houses in Montana and Wyoming don’t have air conditioning, which is not a big deal because it is usually cooler weather, however we had a hot streak while staying of 98F, but it was still not a big deal. The house is surrounded by shade trees and we raised our windows at night and slept comfortably with the fans provided. I highly recommend this cute vacation rental. Thanks Niki for a great time!
We enjoyed this secluded home outside GNP. It was very clean and exactly as listed on site. We loved seeing the many deer and turkeys roam the property in the mornings and evenings. The beds were very comfortable and we felt rested to continue exploring the park. We had a great first trip to GNP. Thanks for hosting us.
it was a nice clean house. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.
Our purpose of the trip was to visit Glacier National Park. This house was a twenty minute drive to the west entrance so perfect location for us. Columbia Falls had two grocery stores and other shops and restaurants that suited us well. Hostess made a great trip for us.
This house was exactly as listed. Well appointed with anything you might need - there was even a bag of ice in the freezer for us! Plenty of spices and basics. The house is private and the fenced backyard was great for our dogs (and some peace of mind when grilling at night!). The location is great for unwinding after a day of activities. The house has lots of nice little extras - laundry basket to use, nice selection of dishes and cookware, and comfortable furniture and bed. The host is very kind and responsive when I had a couple questions! Be aware the water tastes fine - but does smell of rust coming out of the tap.
Nice spacious layout, beautiful area, and really loved the large fenced yard for the dogs! Host was very accommodating and reachable for any questions. Wonderful experience!
We loved our stay here. Two large bedrooms on either side of the house, with VERY comfortable beds. The wood stove quickly heats up the house if needed. Kitchen is very well stocked and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. We loved just opening the back sliders to let the dog out in the large fenced yard. We contacted the on-site owner once for a shower curtain needing replacement, and she immediately responded with a new curtain. It's a bit of a drive to downtown Columbia Falls, but if you're looking for solitude, a GREAT place from which to get to Glacier National Park, and a very relaxing stay, this is it. We would absolutely stay again.
House and fenced backyard were great. Furniture comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with variety of pots/pans and utensils, etc. Glacier Park was beautiful with kayaking after drive up road to the sun. Would definitely rent again. Nikki was easily reachable when code to house did not come thru with message from her. Not sure what happened there? We all agreed it was a wonderful get together.
Easy
Great location, clean, has everything needed. And deer in yard every day. Highly recommend.
The cabin was very clean and was exactly like the photos. Niki was easy to contact and always a help when needed. The location was excellent and the kids loved seeing the deer walk through the yard each day. I can’t wait for my next visit!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the home. It was close enough to the park and other activities, but far enough away we didn't feel like we in a tourist area, which is what we wanted. :)
Nice comfortable cabin surrounded by the beauty of NW Montana. Close to Glazier National Park and all the recreational opportunities surrounding it. Our host Niki was very pleasant and a joy to work with.
This house is wonderful. Beautiful location with a huge fenced in yard - huge!!! The house is spacious, comfortable and well stocked. It’s close to Glacier, Whitefish and the vortex(?). Highly recommended!
Wonderful location & very well-maintained property. Quiet area & fenced in yard a huge plus. Owners were always available to answer any questions.
This place was perfect for our visit to Glacier with the family. Restful and away from everything in a peaceful setting.......but yet only 20 minutes or so away from everything you need to do at West GNP. Niki was very friendly and welcoming. Hope to stay here again.
This Vrbo location worked perfectly for my friends and I to enjoy a week in Montana. Reasonably priced and very close to everything in Glacier National Park and Flathead National Forest.
