Rest and Celebration

We had a wonderful time at the Candy Kitchen. The host is the most engaged host I have ever had with a VRBO, and gave us a thorough tour of the property when we got there. Great time and a great location for golf and East Glacier Park.

Beautiful home and country.

Candy kitchen is everything and more than our expectations. We had 9 adults and our 10 month old grandson. The living and sleeping arrangements are great. The setting and history of this home are outstanding. There is a very nice grocery store and excellent coffee shop and Mexican restaurant one mile away. Beautiful river and Mountain View’s top it all off!

Beautiful, warm and clean

The location is perfect as we were there with family and friends to hike East Glacier and Many Glacier. The home was so cozy having everything you would need and plenty of room for both families. Kitchen was nice, beds were cozy, views were spectacular. I would recommend this place to anyone who is wanting to hike East Glacier or just looking for a peaceful getaway. Lastly, Colleen was a great host. Close by and available, but not nosey or stopping by unannounced. She has been with this property for almost 30 years and clearly has a love for it! We would stay here again next time back to northern MT. Thanks for a great stay!

Excellent Place to Explore Glacier

The Candy Kitchen is an excellent home base to explore Glacier National Park. The East Side of Glacier is the best side with Two Medicine Lake, St Mary Lake and Many Glacier. We spent 5 days here hiking, exploring and boating. Can't rave enough. We timed it on the early side to avoid crowds and lucky with the Going to the Sun Road opening during our visit. The Candy Kitchen is one of the very best places to stay on the East side of Glacier unless you are going to stay in the Historic Lodges. But then you do not all get to be together in one place. Colleen the host is the best. She lives right next door and quickly responds to your every need. We didn't have very many needs because the house is well decked out and the kitchen has everything you will need plus the washer and dryer. Can't recommend the Candy Kitchen enough.

Excellent Base Camp for Glacier NP

Great location for day trips to Many Glacier, Saint Mary’s and Two Medicine entrances. Also made our way to West Glacier for rafting excursion. Everything very convenient by Montana standards. Recommend grocery shopping in Kalispel or Helena if driving in from Bozeman as we did, local grocer stores have limited selection. Home was very comfortable and well equipped and Colleen was welcoming and hospitable. Layout was great for our group of 8. Bedrooms are split 2 on one side of house, two on the other. The large 2 Queen bedroom and large bathroom is upstairs adjacent to another queen bedroom with nearby half bath. Opposite side of house are two queen bedrooms that share a full bath with shower. Extra refrigerator in garage was useful. Nice Weber gas grill. Everything very well maintained. Strongly recommend this property.

Candy Kitchen a "Treat"

We had a fantastic MT vacation and coming home at the end of each day to Candy Kitchen helped make it so. The house is literally stocked like your own home, completely comfortable and not a utensil, bedding or bath item missed. Very clean. The home is very close to the Two Medicine park entrance, but a good 1 hour ride (with construction) to the popular Going to the Sun Road entrance. That did not deter us from driving there 3 times, though it was that worth it. In fact, we felt better about it when we saw the back-log of cars entering the park from the West, versus the ease we had from the East. That is the only reason I put a 4 star for location. Thank you Colleen, it was a pleasure to meet you, hope to visit again someday.

Amazing week at the sweet Candy Kitchen

6 of us stayed at the. Andy Kitchen as a base for exploring the wonders of the area and Glacier National Park. It was so comfortable and accommodating for our group. We had enough privacy and great space for together time. The home is very well equipped and maintained. All the beds were comfy and the view from the back porch is spectacular. Our host, Colleen had excellent communication and was the best. We hiked, kayaked, golfed, went fly fishing and took in everything we could in a week. What a gem.

Perfect!

Perfect base for our family of two parents and three teenagers to stay while we explored Glacier National Park. The house has everything we would have needed in our own home, which made this vacation so easy. For example, I wanted to pack sandwiches for the park. I was happy to find aluminum foil to wrap them in - I didn't need to buy that. I also appreciated that there were boxes of Kleenex in the bedrooms because I usually have to buy that when we stay at other VRBO properties. Our host Colleen provided a binder full of answers to any questions that might arise. It was so lovely to meet her and know she was available for any additional help if needed. Overall, if you want the comfort, ease, and space of staying in a home on your vacation, the Candy Kitchen was PERFECT! Helpful hint: the local market had some basics but there are two large grocery stores just a short drive to the town of Browning.

Great place to get away to Glacier

This is a fantastic place to get away from daily life and launch into the mountains of Glacier. It is near the Two Medicine area and a very reasonable distance from Many Glacier and the Going to the Sun Road (distances are further in MT). After a day of hiking in the most spectacular scenery in North America, you can go back and completely relax in this lovely clean, comfortable, and well-appointed house. Our entire family of 9 (adults and adult children) enjoyed cooking together every night. What a pleasure!

About the host

Hosted by Colleen Erickson

This historic log home has been in the FORD family since the 80's. It was completely remodeled in 2011 & 2012.

Why they chose this property

This property offers a corner lot that has no neighbors to the south or east except the golfers and the bears. Smile. There is a wonderful view out each window and easy walking distance to everything you would need...restaurants, art galleries, store. Cook in the gourmet kitchen or BBQ on the lovely covered porch after a day of enjoying what Glacier has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. We have blended the old with the new in a cozy 'feel-right-at-home' environment.
