Lovely riverside cottage

This is a decent sized property with lots of locally themed decorations. The house is spacious, clean, and everything feels welcoming. The location is great, but may be diffcult to get to initially. The river is right by the house, and fun to walk into in the shallow parts.

Amazing!

This cabin on the river was just what we needed. It had amazing views (we saw moose across the river), and a daily turkey that came and sat on the patio. Would definitely recommend for your next stay!

Great log home on river!

Our family of 6 stayed there 4 nights. Was extremely roomy and comfortable. Beautiful log home. Location was close to Columbia Falls and Whitefish for restaurants and coffee but also remote on river. Big factor for us choosing it was river access 50 feet from back door for fly fishing. Caught several trout right behind home and also quarter mile up river where it narrowed. Great covered wrap around back porch on river side for sitting and eating. Steve the owner was extremely responsive and replaced the can of propane the next morning after it got low. I can’t think of a box it didn’t check for us. Great trip!

Our favorite house rental ever

My husband and I stayed at the Glacier Chalet with our 17 & 19 year old daughters and it was absolute perfection!! We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the rafters float by and just enjoyed the peaceful sound of solitude. The furniture is so comfortable, you sink right into the leather couches and all the beds were super comfy. Top quality towels and sheets were appropriated as was the shampoos and soaps left for visitors. The location is perfect for access to GNP and all the local activities. We booked a fly fishing lesson and trip with Glacier Raft Co. and a scenic river float perfect for those who want to try something but in a safe easy way! This was by far our best trip ever!

Great Cabin on Flathead River

Hidden down a gravel road is a great place to relax and enjoy a true Montana experience. Great cabin right on the river, enjoyed fly fishing 50’ from the deck. Guide boats pass by all day so you know there’s fish. View off deck straight into Glaicier National Park range. Inside was roomie, comfortable space. We grilled out on the deck, great amenities. 15 min to park entrance. Will be back for a longer stay.

Relax by the river - while staring at the snow capped mountains !

The communication was excellent, the Chalet was large, clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. The large covered porch, however, is the highlight of the experience with the Flathead River steps away and the view of Glacier National Park mountains in the distance. We had a wonderful stay. We left an important item when checking out in a rush - the owner personally retrieved the item and drove to town and shipped it safely to us . True gold star service and empathy for our situation. We travel and rent frequently through VRBO so I rely heavily on reviews and I’m telling you you cannot go wrong with the Glacier Chalet. My only traveler comments would be be prepared for the somewhat remote location - and the yard is actually elevated a bit above the river , with rocks to step down on to get to the waters edge. The river was very high in late June - we fished from the bank a bit easily.

We loved staying here. The property was well kept and provided a much-welcomed rest from daily hiking and fishing. We enjoyed out time here.

Book it! You won’t regret it!

Our family of 5 stayed for 3 nights at this beautiful home. The accommodations were perfect. The beds were very comfortable and there was even a pack n play for our grand baby. The guys tried their hand at fly fishing. The view from the porch is incredible! It was about a 30 minute drive to Glacier National Park, but we did have to deal with the road construction on the west side of the park which made it slower to get to our destinations inside the park. We got groceries from the market in Columbia Falls. The home is stocked with everything you need to cook meals there. Whitefish is also a 30 minute drive and worth visiting if you like to shop. Thanks to our host, Steve, for a wonderful stay,

Luxury Cabin in Glorious Setting

Even better than we expected! The peaceful riverside locale was perfect to sit and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the area. The home was beautiful, comfortable, and well equipped with all vacation home needs. We hardly wanted to leave each day, but it was also an easy drive to multiple entrances on the west side of Glacier National Park, or for outings to Whitefish or Kalispell. This would be my first pick to stay again for future vacations in this region of Montana.

Montana vacation

The Glacier Chalet was amazing. It was so clean and nice and had everything we needed and more. The best part was the location ,though !!! It was sitting right on the most beautiful river with the mountains as a backdrop . We loved sitting on the spacious porch each morning drinking coffee and watching the ducks swim by with the squirrels and chipmunks playing nearby . We would definitely stay here again !

Exceeded ALL expectations

I don't even know where to start, the view and setting is absolutely amazing. We spent every morning of our 5 day visit on the deck just enjoying the beauty of the scenery and the river. This was our first experience in Montana and glacier national park and this property did not disappoint. The house is just stunning. The place is so well stocked with everything you could think of for dishes, pots and pans etc.... we used the grill most every night. This house itself is so comfortable and roomy. The upstairs bed was comfy. The walk in shower and soaker tub were a nice surprise. The kitchen has been upgraded just wonderfully. Tv's are all smart tvs which was a huge plus with the high speed internet. If your visiting glacier national park the location couldn't be better. I just can't think of one negative about the place, if your considering it, trust me you will not be disappointed.

Great cabin for family GNP vacation

This was our first trip to Glacier National Park and this cabin was perfect for a family of five. Great location to get into the park. Quiet and beautiful with the river in the backyard. We ate several meals on the back deck. Cabin was very clean and well stocked. Plenty of blankets and towels. Owner provided good details and instructions prior to arrival. Would definitely return and recommend to family and friends!
