Great lodging right on the river.

The cabin is nicely furnished with comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen. We liked that it was isolated from traffic and situated right on the river. Overall, it was a great place to stay.

Beautiful Riverfront Views!!

We had the most incredible stay!! The views were outstanding! The inside was so comfy and the amazing host host had a sweet greeting board wiht our names and some sweet treats! The bed was comfy, house was spotless! We enjoyed the outdoor chairs, swing and hammock. My husband fished the river, and I went for a swim! We can’t wait to come back!

This cozy cabin right on the river was everything we wanted in our summer trip to Glacier National Park. The views were amazing and the location is so peaceful. Tom and Carol were fantastic hosts and the cabin was equipped with everything we needed! Our boys had the best time floating in the river, we fished and had a campfire and morning coffee in the screened in porch. It is so close to the west entrance of the park it is very convenient. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Glacier getaway

Can’t say enough about this home. My family of 5 spent 5 days and had a wonderful time. Best stocked rental I’ve ever stayed in and the owners were great and very communicative. Would definitely stay again.

This cabin is AMAZING!. It has everything, especially the views. When you stay here, don't overbook and spend some time at the cabin. It is peaceful, restful and just beautiful. The cabin is extremely comfortable and has more than everything that you need...comfy bed, well appointed kitchen, roomy bathroom, cozy den with big tv (if you even sit in there!). Our favorite area was outside...slider chairs, adirondack chairs by the fire pit (with more wood than you will ever need!), dining table on the deck and a very roomy hammock. We never heard the neighbors and really only saw them from afar. It is conveniently located and easy to get to the West entrance, Whitefish, Columbia Falls and Kalispell. We met Tom and Carol who are extremely kind. We never needed anything while we were there, but I am confident they would have handled anything we needed. Book it! You will love it. Highly recommend.

We had a fabulous stay at Tom and a Carol’s place! The property is so peaceful and beautiful. We saw bald eagles, deer, and golden eagles. We slept great, had every amenity we could need, and Tom and Carol left a kind treat for us too :-). We highly recommend this property and owners!

Great spot on the flathead

Cozy and well appointed. Photos accurately depict stunning views and proximity to the river which is only a few short steps away. The property is in a completely quiet and rural setting while maintaining convenient access to Columbia Falls unlike most other options on the Flathead as you continue going north. The hosts graciously accommodated some last minute special requests that they could have justifiably charged us for but elected not to.

Cabin on the River

We just returned from a wonderful week long vacation at this private riverside cabin surrounded by trees. The owners were most accommodating and helpful. The cabin has all the modern amenities and was spotless. We loved the huge picture windows that make one feel like they are outside. The large deck is perfect for looking at the Flathead River and seeing deer, bear, Golden Eagles, Bald Eagles and many other water fowl. We were lucky enough to see all of these in the week we were there, while sitting on the deck with our German Shepherd. We look forward to be able to return again to this relaxing place.

Perfect Serenity!

Everything about this cabin & stay was absolute perfection. The location, the cabin, the hosts, the view…..I could go on & on! The cabin was one of the most well stocked homes I’ve stayed in. I’ve been renting VRBO homes for approx. 12 years now and I’m not sure I’ve ever stayed in one so well stocked with everything you possibly need; from cooking essentials, spices, binoculars, lotion, shampoo, grocery staples, you name it-seemed it was all there. The hosts are easy, friendly, & attentive. The cabin was clean & so peaceful & relaxing. And the view….nothing short of amazing. Close to everything you need. It was nothing short of perfect!!

Serene cabin near Glacier

Tom and Carol made the whole process easy to rent. They answered all my questions quickly. The pictures don't do this cabin justice. The kitchen is well stocked and with newer appliances making meals was very enjoyable. The comfortable living room furniture and beds was perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring the area. It's a great place to stay away from all the crowds at Glacier yet close enough to enjoy everything in the park. The rippling rapids outside the cabin was soothing to ones soul. The views at the cabin are absolutely beautiful! We were able to fulfill a bucket list adventure of fishing the Flathead River. The cabin is a 5 minute drive to one of the top ranked areas to trout fish. Thank you for sharing your cabin. Hope to return again.

Don't think twice....just do it!

From the minute we pulled into the driveway, we knew it was going to be a perfect place for us. We made Reservations for 4 days, with the intentions of going to Glacier National Park for 3 of the days. We went the first day. It was beautiful, but we decided that this place was so wonderful and beautiful in its own right, that we didn't need to make the trek back to the park! Seriously, just the most wonderful place to unwind and enjoy life for as long as you are able to do so. Carol and Tom have furnished the home with everything you will need for a comfortable stay. Beds, pillows, blankets, were all so comfy! And the views! OMG, we couldn't ask for more. Communication was perfect, as was check in and check out. We will definitely stay here again if we are lucky enough to get back this way!

Fantastic secluded Home

What a great stay. I’m hesitant to write such a positive review, because I know it will make this place harder to get next year. I booked relatively last minute, and few properties were available. This was, but had no reviews. Clearly I was skeptical, but decide to roll the dice. This place was clean, well stocked, secluded, close to the park, easy to use. WiFi was perfect, though I tried to have my kids use that as little as possible. My dog loved it, and loved to go down walks on the road. Fires at night, next to the flathead river. New appliances, first aid kit, anything you could want. I made hamburgers on a cast iron skillet on the grill. Everything worked great. But my favorite part was the screened in porch. Cool breeze, sound of the river and rain while reading. Don’t hesitate. Get this place. If you don’t like it, blame me.

Right off the deck, a perfect place to enjoy the North Fork of the Flathead River, fly fishing, floating…nature at its finest, views of two elk, two bears, two wolves across the bank. Starry nites, meteor showers. Cabin had everything necessary for a comfortable stay, even A/C (one day in the 90s), W/D, and a large gas grill! A definite 10 out of 10

Within the last 2 wks we have had 2 separate bookings for out of state family members. They are still raving about the cabin, its location and the wildlife along the North Fork. It was a perfect vacation for each couple and the cabin was well appointed, comfortable and very close to Glacier Park. A perfect 10 score!! Thank you to the vrbo hosts

Beautiful!

Such a relaxing home! Honestly the photos don’t do even it justice. We stayed a few nights in glacier National park at a hotel, and then moved here for two nights at the end of our trip. It’s in a great location, remote and by the river, but still only about 5-10 minutes from Columbia falls and 20-30 minutes from the whitefish area. LOVED our stay and loved the area. We’ll be back for sure!

Outstanding Cabin

This cabin was wonderful inside and outside. The river right outside the backyard was so peaceful. There are multiple seating areas from which to enjoy it. The cabin had everything we needed during our stay. The host provided welcome gifts and sign. The bed is very large and comfortable. Communication with the host was also great. I hope we can come back sometime.

5-Star Ritz Carlton Experience - Montana Cabin Near West Entrance

I have traveled and lived all over the world, and have been the guest of many people. Carol and her husband are the consummate hosts. Warren Buffett said, “when you buy a product, in 50 years, you will not remember how good the product was, but rather you will never forget (good or bad), the experience you had buying it.” Carol provided us with everything we needed and requested (which was within reason). She is, professional, warm in her communication, and helpful. The cabin is quintessential Montana. Everything is new, clean, and functional. She is detail oriented, down to the automatic opening kitchen garbage pail lid. We had a “Ruth’s Chris” type of dinner on their grill, camp fires, and relaxing afternoons on their luxury hammock overlooking a cut-throat salmon filled river. It’s close enough to town to get what you need in 15 mins and far enough away to feel absolutely secluded. It’s conveniently located near the West Entrance of Glacier National Park. 5-Stars.

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Carol Ladenburg

Host profile image
Our names are Tom and Carol Ladenburg. We are both native to the Flathead Valley, raised in Columbia Falls. We have four children and four grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

To us, this is a very special place. We've spent many days either fishing, swimming or floating the river. Many family gatherings have taken place here, sitting out on the deck enjoying the views, waving to passing floaters and fishermen, and seeing wildlife.

What makes this property unique

You never know what wildlife you may see. Mornings and evenings are best. We've watched wolves chase elk into the river on more than one occasion. It is a peaceful and serene place.
