Amazing house on the Flathead River

This is probably the best VRBO we have ever stayed in and we stay in a lot! Everyone loved the location, the views, the stocked kitchen, and the proximity to grocery and restaurants. Our group loves to cook and found everything we needed. our house were extremely responsive and the information book and labeling around the house Extremely helpful. The beds were super comfortable and the master tub big enough to soak in! We absolutely loved our time there.

Miss it already!!

What a wonderful house!! We were a family of 7 and one baby. First time to Glacier and Jeff and Kelly’s place was perfect. The location worked out well for going to the park, town and Flat Head Lake. The home kitchen was well equipped, comfy beds and the fire pit near the river made for a perfect evening at the end of the day. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful property! The house was perfect for our family. Very comfortable and large with a deck on the back. The large backyard was adjacent to the Flathead River. We ate on the deck, played frisbee in the backyard and threw rocks in the river. Easy access to GNP. Centrally located!

Wonderful Stay at Riverview

This was only our 2nd stay at a rental property and the experience was excellent. The property was so clean and uncluttered and decorated so nicely. It was so conducive for relaxation after busy days hiking and exploring Glacier. The layout was perfect for our two families. The great room was wonderful for relaxing and recapping the day! Thank you!

Great place to stay

We had 2 families stay here (total of 7 people). The location worked out well for us to go to Glacier National Park during the day. Table was large enough for all of us to eat together. The owner had let us know ahead of time that we would need road reservations to get into the park, that information was very helpful since the reservations were all gone within the first half hour (maybe even first 10 minutes) after they opened up a few months ahead of the reservation time.

Family Trip from northern Illinois

First time any of us visited Glacier NP. Ages ranged from 6 to 75. We all had a great time hiking, boat rides, rafting, horseback riding, etc. The accommodations met all our needs, even coolers and ice blocks we could use. It was the best equipped rental any of us had every stayed at. We loved that we could park our two cars in the garage. We typically would head to the park before sunrise and this made loading up everything we needed for the day much easier.

Spacious, riverfront house

This was a great property; spacious house with a large backyard, and a firepit next to the river. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of bathrooms. About 20 minutes to the west entrance of Glacier National Park and close to gas, food, and everything we needed. We had a great time, and the host promptly texted back when I had questions. We hope to be back some day. Thank you!
