Quick Stay Headed to Glacier

This is a great place to stay for a large group. We were there for less than 24 hours as we flew into Kalispell to begin our time in Glacier National Park. We wanted a place close to the West entrance, and this was perfect. The bedrooms are great, the outdoor area is cute and you are close to restaurants and other amenities.

Yes this house had everything we needed and more - extremely comfortable beds, all the spices we needed, clean towels, excellent laundry facilities. But what puts this place above others is the home's owner, Jen - her communication and support are second to none!

1st Time in Montana!

The house was very comfortable and had plenty of room for all of us to spread out. We were gone most days for 10 or 12 hours, and it was great to come back to a place that felt like home, where we could make supper and gather around the table or the fire pit, to visit about the days events. Jennelle was a very pleasant host and gave us some good advice on things to do while we were in town. We absolutely loved our first visit to Montana and spent most of our time at glacier National Park. We went to the local rodeo on the last night we were there and had a fantastic time!! Thank you Montana & Jennelle!!

Relaxing family getaway

Exactly what we wanted for our family getaway. House is so relaxing, the decor is welcoming, loved the 4 level layout of house - our kids enjoyed the lower half, had there own area to themselves. Only hinder was the heat, couldn't read #'s on individual thermostat. Of course house was little cold because it's winter but didn't want to trip them by going over the recommended degree setting. Highly recommend for families wanting to stay all in one house, to have a little separation and to be somewhat away from hustle & bustle of others.

West Glacier home away from home!

We loved staying here! It was the perfect location for our Glacier National Park vacation! It was only 1/2 hour from the west entrance and close to everything we needed...groceries, gas, coffee, and the liquor store. The house was decorated adorably and was stocked with everything we needed. Plus there were movies and an Apple TV for Netflix and Hulu. There was plenty of room for everyone. Every morning we saw deer in the yard when we were drinking coffee and every night we had a bonfire. Janelle was so friendly and available for everything we needed. Just an email away. Can't wait to go back and stay here!

Sweet home in Columbia Falls

This very cozy home had a very nice setup for our family. The kids loved the bonus room with their own couches, TV, chalk boards, and loft beds! While in a neighborhood, the house was set back in trees and very private. The host was very pleasant to deal with. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook large meals. Overall, a nice home.

A work in progress

It appeared when the property was purchased it was in need of a great deal of updating and improvements. I would estimate only about 45 to 50% of necessary improvements and updates have been completed. The house and surrounding outer property are very tired and in need of additional work. Functional but in need of work.
