Stay near Glacier

We were very happy with our stay. The property is in a good location- close to the airport, close to restaurants and a short drive to Glacier National Park. The property was clean and lacked for nothing- making our stay easier and more comfortable. We would gladly stay here again in the future.

Glacier National Park trip

The property was amazing!!!! They thought of everything. Unfortunately, we rented bear spray and an ice chest from the car rental place. We could have saved money because the property owners had the supplies needed. The owners had everything needed for my grandchildren from a highchair, bibs, toys & books, playpen and plates and sippy cups. Loved the accommodations. Highly recommend staying at Sarah and Ryan's house.

My adult children and partners stayed with us at this home. What a wonderful home to come back to after a full day of hiking at Glacier. The home was spacious enough to have plenty of shared space but also accommodate our privacy. Home was well stocked to enable us to make three dinners at home including grilling as well as make our to go lunches for the hikes. Worked out perfectly. Thank you for sharing your home!

Beautiful, Clean, Well-Stocked Home

We loved our stay at this beautiful home. It was very clean, well stocked, and close to Glacier National park. We had everything we needed for the entire week that we were there. The owners have created a wonderful informational booklet with activities, restaurants, etc. that made it easy for us to plan things to do on days we weren't in the park. There were also books including "Best Easy Day Hikes", that came in handy. I highly recommend this home and would be happy to stay here again.

Bright, beautiful and so inviting. Everything was completely as presented in the offering. We enjoyed the bedrooms and the baths that accompanied them. The kitchen was great for preparing meals and the amenities that where there also helped us plan what else we had to purchase. The living space had seating for all and my husband enjoyed the lazyboy style chairs. We certainly took advantage of the outdoor space in the back as it fit all of us perfectly. Overall, we had a marvelous time and would suggest this very lovely home to anyone wanting to spend some quiet and peaceful time while relaxing after sightseeing for a day! Thanks for having us.

We stayed on the tail end of our week long trip to GNP and the house is clean, comfortable and in a great spot. Comfortable beds and plenty of space for a group of four. Really appreciated the coffee and creamer! We used their recommendations and spent our last day exploring Big Fork and driving around the lake. Their breakfast spot was amazing, went both mornings. And we also explored Whitefish and it’s lake.

Trip of a Lifetime

Trip of a lifetime! Bucket list- GNP, Highline Trail - and Siyeh Pass was the most awesome and momentous hike- 5 grizzlies and an angel named Kyle to lead us out of harms way when they were all blocking the path. First the huge mom and 2 babies, then two more montrous griz's crossing the path up to their cave 30 minutes later! What a day to remember! Highline opened up day before we left! 4 moose seen in St Marys plus a cinnamon black bear amd her cub and a blonde Grizzly in the tall grass below the treeline. More mountain goats and rams than i could count! 2 snakes too- yuk! Coming back after long hikes, long days in the Park to Glacier Countryside Escape was a true haven of restorage. Perfect house, gracious host and hostess! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah

Host profile image
Hello! We are Ryan and Sarah O'Rourke - owners of GLACIER COUNTRYSIDE ESCAPE and GLACIER COUNTRYSIDE RETREAT.
Ryan and I were born and raised right here in the Flathead Valley. We have been married for 22 years. After going away for college, we decided this is the best place to call home. We love all that there is to do here in the Flathead. We regularly bike, hike, camp, boat, fish and just take in the views.
Ryan is a high school history teacher and Varsity soccer coach at Stillwater Christian School in Kalispell. Sarah is a high school science teacher and former basketball coach at the same school. We have one daughter Adeline who is 6.
Shortly after purchasing this property in 2009, we decided it would make a great summer vacation home for travelers. As teachers, we were rarely home in the summer - but instead were out enjoying Montana. We began renting it the first summer we owned it and loved the experience of hosting out of town guests. We stay in a camper at Ryan's parents' home during the summer (when we weren't camping out in the beautiful Montana wilderness!)
With the help of family, we also built a small apartment in a barn that sits on the edge of the property. In the summer of 2020, we also began sharing that space with guests as Glacier Countryside Retreat (a separate listing.) Both spaces are private and separate from one another.
We would like to offer to you our wonderful home for your visit to the Glacier area. We hope you enjoy vacationing in Montana as much as we enjoy living here!

Why they chose this property

We spent several years looking for the perfect home for us. This home is located in the central valley, coveted by locals for its convenience to the 3 major towns in the valley – Kalispell, Columbia Falls, and Whitefish. The great room in this home is perfect for entertaining large groups which we love to do. The setting is peaceful with beautiful views. We hope you love our home as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Because this has been our home during the school year you will find all of the amenities you would expect in the home. From gadgets in the kitchen to board games in the closet, you will find all you would expect to find in a house. We pride ourselves on offering an exceptionally clean home with comfortable beds and everything you need to make it a great launching point for your Montana vacation.
