Serene location to explore Glacier

We loved staying here. The property was well kept and provided a much-welcomed rest from daily hiking and fishing. We enjoyed out time here.

Amazing!

This cabin on the river was just what we needed. It had amazing views (we saw moose across the river), and a daily turkey that came and sat on the patio. Would definitely recommend for your next stay!

This is a spectacular home in a great location.

Really enjoyed the views of the mountains and the river. The patios were our favorite places...lots of birds to complement the great views. Hoping to travel back to this house in 2018. Owner was very responsive to questions and the house is extremely well maintained.

Lovely cabin

My husband and two children stayed here this past June and it was as lovely. The home was well-represented by the pictures and the homeowner took great care to make sure we had everything we needed, including updated weather/road conditions. Very cozy.

Great Cabin on Flathead River

Hidden down a gravel road is a great place to relax and enjoy a true Montana experience. Great cabin right on the river, enjoyed fly fishing 50’ from the deck. Guide boats pass by all day so you know there’s fish. View off deck straight into Glaicier National Park range. Inside was roomie, comfortable space. We grilled out on the deck, great amenities. 15 min to park entrance. Will be back for a longer stay.

Great cabin and location! This was a great place to stay. Clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated and equipped. We really enjoyed the location right on the Flathead River. It was easy to get to and from Glacier from the north entrance and a beautiful drive. We could sit on the deck in October and saw elk crossing the river in the mornings. The owner is great to work with.

Luxury Cabin in Glorious Setting

Even better than we expected! The peaceful riverside locale was perfect to sit and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the area. The home was beautiful, comfortable, and well equipped with all vacation home needs. We hardly wanted to leave each day, but it was also an easy drive to multiple entrances on the west side of Glacier National Park, or for outings to Whitefish or Kalispell. This would be my first pick to stay again for future vacations in this region of Montana.

Our favorite house rental ever

My husband and I stayed at the Glacier Chalet with our 17 & 19 year old daughters and it was absolute perfection!! We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the rafters float by and just enjoyed the peaceful sound of solitude. The furniture is so comfortable, you sink right into the leather couches and all the beds were super comfy. Top quality towels and sheets were appropriated as was the shampoos and soaps left for visitors. The location is perfect for access to GNP and all the local activities. We booked a fly fishing lesson and trip with Glacier Raft Co. and a scenic river float perfect for those who want to try something but in a safe easy way! This was by far our best trip ever!

great location for accessing Glacier Park; nice log home on a beautiful river

Steve the owner was easy to work with. The home is clean and functional with plenty of space to lounge and dine. We especially enjoyed the deck overlooking the river. It was also very nice that the kids could watch a Disney movie (they have quite a selection!) in the evening in the separate, comfy, loft living room upstairs while we enjoyed the living room downstairs! Thanks to Steve and his family for sharing this lovely spot.

Great log home on river!

Our family of 6 stayed there 4 nights. Was extremely roomy and comfortable. Beautiful log home. Location was close to Columbia Falls and Whitefish for restaurants and coffee but also remote on river. Big factor for us choosing it was river access 50 feet from back door for fly fishing. Caught several trout right behind home and also quarter mile up river where it narrowed. Great covered wrap around back porch on river side for sitting and eating. Steve the owner was extremely responsive and replaced the can of propane the next morning after it got low. I can’t think of a box it didn’t check for us. Great trip!
