Great House for Families with Kids!

It only took about 5 minutes after walking in the front door to already decide we were going to leave a 5 star review. The house is 10 minutes from the airport & 15-20 minutes from park entrance, a definite plus. House is stocked with lots of things you might have forgotten or not thought to bring. We did lots of hiking, so we appreciated the ice packs in the freezers. Pack n' play with sheets was awesome to have. Take a look at the guest book for trail suggestions from previous guests. If we ever make it back to Glacier National Park, this is where we will stay without question!

Great location for Glacier!

This is a very nice house in a peaceful neighborhood. It was very clean and stocked with everything you need. The owners even have a few extra little things in the house that make the stay even better. They really think of the little things!

The host did an amazing job making it feel like home. The snacks, bear spray, laundry detergent, etc… were all there so we didn’t have to run straight to store. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!

Great place to stay!

This was a lovely house to stay at. It had a shaded and fairly large yard for our dog and was in a nice neighborhood. We all really enjoyed the little extra touches included in the house I.e. little snacks, waters, extra toothpaste, shampoos, paper plates! All the stuff you might need and didn’t realize you did.

We loved this clean and well stocked property. The sign with our names by the door, bowl of snacks and fresh fruit were fantastic. Staying here made us close to the airport and national park. I would happily stay here again.

Excellent stay

We chose the property due to the close location to Glacier. It is absolutely lovely and clean! We had originally planned on having our 3 kids and son-in-law with us. Our daughter and her husband couldn’t make it, so the teenagers had their own rooms which was great to afford everyone a little alone time. We enjoyed coffee and book reading on the back patio. We grilled out one night. It was great to have a dishwasher and laundry. The soaker tub was amazing after long hikes! Safe neighborhood. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking.

Great Stay in Columbia Falls

We really enjoyed our stay in Columbia Falls. The American Flag and welcome sign on the front porch set the stage for a very clean comfortable home. The location in town was close to our activities yet away from the busy part of town. Our hosts were great to work with. We hope to stay here again.

Glacier vacation spot

This home worked great for our family of 5 on a Glacier National Park vacation. Communication was great when we needed to add a day and the VRBO system was down. It was very clean, nice linens, kitchen well supplied, extra toiletries and snacks provided that were not expected but very convenient. Very well-kept home.

Best find in Columbia Falls!

We are so happy we chose this VRBO home! It was so comfortable. From the furnishings to the yard, wll equipped kitchen, bathrooms, and all the extra little touches! Bath salts for the soaking tub, extra toothbrushes, snacks in the kitchen and more and more. Our first glance was a personalized sign on the porch welcoming our family! Such a sweet part of the memory of our trip to Glacier. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood but real close to all our adventures! A wonderful resting place after a day of discovery and beauty! I would definitely recommend this place!

From the minute we drove up and saw the personalized welcome sign, we knew this place was something special. The hosts include so many nice and thoughtful details. The home is comfortable and beautifully decorated. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant. This is on a cul-de-sac so no through traffic. A wonderful sweet home!!! I would highly recommend it!

It is a gem

This place met and exceeded all our expectations. I’m so grateful I found this please and we were thrilled to find all the extras that hosts put for us in the bathroom and in the kitchen. The Internet speed was really excellent, also the mattress in the master bedroom was out of this world. Attention to details they say is the key to a success, so the hosts really pulled it off. This is a real gem to find for people who are aiming to explore the Glacier National Park. Very nice! Thank you.

Glacier 2022

This property was perfect for our trip! We arrived early and the property manager let us put our luggage in the garage. This is a great location for a Glacier Park trip. It is about 20 minutes from the west entrance. There are great places to eat close by in Columbia Falls and Whitefish. There were lots of little extra amenities left for us in the bathrooms and coffee and spices in the kitchen which were much appreciated. Clean and comfortable and a great place to relax in the evenings!! We walked down the street to the river one evening. Despite my fall and broken wrist this was a perfect trip and we got in 41 miles of hiking. Had great medical care in Whitefish too!!

Best rental home!

We have stayed a handful of rental homes and this one is hands down the best! The owners have seriously thought of everything! When we arrived, there was a welcome sign with our name on it by the front door. If that doesn’t make you feel welcome, right?! If there’s something you forgot, chances are they have it there for you, even down to your morning coffee. They left a basket of snacks for us, and it even had a couple of doggy biscuits in it (even though we didn’t bring our pups, we thought about it and it was such a nice gesture). There was a basket of bath stuff so we could enjoy the giant bathtub. We have stayed in rentals that had nothing, one roll of toilet paper and you had to buy the rest. This place provides everything, and even go above and beyond with the little touches that make the stay extra special. The fenced in backyard is absolutely beautiful and perfect for kids and dogs. The house is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. It’s close to the west Glacier entrance and everything we wanted to do for our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Wonderful and inviting home close to Glacier National Park

This home is located in a very quiet cup du sac. I was worried reading about some reviews talking about the smell of smoke. I NEVER smelled that anywhere in the house or garage. The house was extremely clean. The home had a welcome sign with our name on it and lots of snacks upon our arrival. All amenities you may need were provided including many extras such as a toiletries basket for each bathroom. There is a large soaking tub that I used daily as the house had Epsom salts in the bathroom to utilize. This helped my sore muscles as we hiked daily. Everything was wonderful and I was so happy we booked this stay for our trip. I would book it again in a heartbeat!!

About the host

Hosted by Girl Friday Personal Assistant Services

Host profile image
We started Girl Friday in 2010 for a way for Laura to showcase her passion for decorating and party coordinating. We decided to move from Glacier Gate way closer to our day jobs but kept the house as a branch of service offered by the business. The success of the house has been exciting. At the end of each rental season, we look back at the written comments in the diary that guest love to share their experience and gratitude for all the extra attention Laura puts into their stay. It has been very rewarding, and we do not expect to slow down. If you are in search of an experience that will make unforgettable memories, get ahold of us to customize your experience. She will make it evident that she loves to make your stay special.
