My friend and I loved the convenience of proximity to Glacier National Park entrance. The home was comfortable, and really appreiciated the extra amenities provided (coffee and water). Loved the side deck and seeing a few deer everyday. Also appreciated that we could check in a little earlier than 4:00, since there were no guests staying the previous night of our arrival.

Location is great! Beautiful property. A family of deer behind the home. Host communicated well and was responsive. The only thing that was challenging was poor cell service and slow WiFi. I had some work to do while I was there and it took 3x as long as it would have at home which was frustrating.

The location is close to Glacier National Park. The internet connection was unstable, but the host kindly called me before our trip to let us know a technician could come during our stay to fix the issue. Unfortunately, that would have required us to remain at the house during the visit, which wasn’t possible, so we had to manage with the unstable internet. The house is located directly on the highway, and traffic noise was noticeable when the highway was busy. On the positive side, the kitchen was very well equipped with cookware, dinnerware, and cleaning supplies. Overall, highly recommended.

This house is super cute! It had everything we needed. The location is convenient. The host was very nice. We stayed 4 nights and both beds were very comfortable. Next time we visit GNP, I will book this house again. It was close enough to Kalispell, Whitefish & west entrance of National Park. 5 Stars!!

Great Rental

July 2025 decent proximity to West Glacier entrance (about 20 minutes), and about 5 to restaurants and shopping in Columbia Falls. Host was attentive and addressed our needs. The highway noise is tolerable, but if you’re a light sleeper and like windows opens, choose the back bedroom. Saw deer on sight and definitely felt safe.

Great Location

This house was clean and perfect for our needs. It was a quick 15 min drive to Glacier National Park and plenty of stores and restaurants close by. Everything we needed was already at the house. A short drive to White Fish, which was nice. I also liked the gate to the driveway so random people didn’t pull in. Made me feel safer! The beds were also really comfortable!

Everything about the property is very good to excellent, except the highway noise. Property is located on a busy highway and the traffic noise in the front bedroom is an issue to a lite sleeper.

The house was super cute and clean, with everything as described. Jo was very nice and easy to communicate with. It was great to have the washer/dryer to do laundry, and the location close to the West entrance to the park was perfect. Having some fresh raspberries to pick outside was an unexpected bonus!
