The location was perfect for a visit to Glacier National Park, since it was only a few minutes away. It was really nice to sit on the porch and listen to the waterfall in the nearby stream. The beds were also quite comfortable. We had everything we needed so it was a great visit!

Thank you, Lanelle, for your review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Jaybird’s! Please come see us again.
Photos can't fully show how wonderful this place is. Clean, carefully maintained and family-friendly. Relaxing atmosphere with a great blend of modern convenience and old-time Montana feel. Quiet, comfortable, and close to so much. Nicely appointed kitchen, we lacked for nothing. We will definitely be back!

Thank you so much! We appreciate your feedback and hope you will visit us again!
We booked this home for 4 of us for 3 nights while visiting Glacier NP and wish we could stay longer to enjoy the place and its tranquility. Its location is beautiful and had almost everything we needed. This charming house feels very cozy and surrounded with trees, beautiful flowers pots, outdoor swings, etc. We didn't have a chance to use the outdoor amenities much but wish we had time for.

Beautiful house in the middle of the woods. Equiped with everything what a group of treveling people needs. Clean and cosy. We loved preparing our suppers on the outside grill. Highly recomending for groups up to 8 people.

About the host
Hosted by Rosemary Mattick
Abbott Valley was gifted to us by our parents about 25 years ago. We grew up here riding horses, fishing and swimming, hiking in the mountains, building forts, and riding tractors and haying and raising cattle. We went away to school, had careers, came back and now our third generation of family is enjoying 'the ranch'. The Foley Family
Why they chose this property
Abbott Valley is a 270 acre homestead minutes from the West Entrance to Glacier National Park. Nestled near Desert Mountain, and surrounded by Flathead National Forest, this is one of the larger tracts of land, still intact, which was originally homesteaded in 1910 shortly before the establishment of Glacier National Park (1911) and the founding of the National Park Service (1916). Abbott Valley is comprised of meadows, forests, beaver ponds and criss-crossed by two creeks, North and South Abbott. Two of our rentals - Mickey's and Baptiste - are the original homestead cabins dating back 100 years and though they have been remodeled they retain their original authentic log structures. They are a delight to stay in and it is fun to marvel that right here the Indians pitched tee-pees on the property and traded with the early settlers.
Abbott Valley is family owned and operated. We live here and are available to answer questions to help make your vacation a memorable experience. We have been welcoming guests for 25 years. Many return year after year, having 'chosen' one cabin or another as theirs, putting their roots down, if only for a week or two, so they can enjoy time with each other in a beautiful, serene setting.
What makes this property unique
Our location is an ideal base for exploring Glacier National Park, the Hungry Horse Reservoir, Whitefish, Kalispell, Bigfork and all that the Flathead has to offer.
