We were looking for a base to go hiking in Yellowstone. We found the ideal location in Gardiner. The apartment was perfect for our needs . The host, Marie, was extremely helpful and accommodating. There was absolutely nothing we didn’t like . Pretty sure we’ll try to book there again if we come this way in the future .

The home is lovely, with everything you need to make your stay comfortable from tolietries, fresh linens, extra towels, information about how to use everything in the home and local recommendations for activities and restaurants. It is also close to the national park and restaurants, grocery store and gas stations. We had the pleasure of meeting the hosts Gary and Christina, they are very kind and welcoming. The farm fresh eggs from their chickens they provided us were delicious! When we come back to Glacier National Park we will definitely stay here again and we highly recommend it to others visiting the area!!

Great location. Easy travel to surrounding attractions, but just off the heavily traveled routes enough to avoid a lot of traffic. Great views and very peaceful location. We will be booking again for future visits to the Glacier/Whitefish area.

The property works well as a base for access to the west side of Glacier National park. Our hosts were courteous and considerate.This included an earlier check in time. There was also a lot of basics in the pantry for guests. A nice quiet place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Gary and Christina Watne

Host profile image
My husband and myself would like to be known as friendly and welcoming hosts. We love Montana, her mountains and lakes and we spend a lot of time outdoors, boating, canoeing, fishing or hiking.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property because it was a stand alone property that had a breath taking view of the Columbia mountains with views of both Sunrise and sunset. We also are in the windy corridor and love hearing the wind swoosh by.

What makes this property unique

Very close to the Airport, Columbia falls town, with the Columbia mountains upfront. The flathead river is a mile away, a water park almost next door. The Glacier National park is a bare 15 mins drive away.
