About this property

Relaxing River Retreat 15 Miles from West Glacier Gate

This 2015 Vacation Retreat is nestled in the Columbia Falls area centered perfectly for exploring the Flathead Valley. This home away from home has views of the Flathead River and the gorgeous Swan Mountain Range from the front deck! The Cedar Pointe Community is the new pinnacle of living in the Glacier Gateway area, with beautiful on-site nature trails that lead straight to the river. There is room for corn hole game in front side yard and a public boat launch only 10 minutes down the road. The home places the explorer within short distance of countless opportunities for adventure and new memories. The townhouse is walking distance to the city pool, numerous restaurants and just five minutes from the nearest grocery store. The host provides bear spray, bug spray, a cooler, beach towels, and sunscreen for guests. An added benefit is that the bedrooms are air-conditioned, and each offers a very comfortable bed. The upper deck off of the master bedroom offers a peaceful sitting area for 6.

Glacier family trip

Great property for a group in a gray location for your visit to Gkacier. Amenities provided really make the stay so much easier. You get to pack lighter for sure! It truly is a home away from home. If ever given the opportunity to return to glacier would definitely stay here again.

Our two senior couples from Utah agreed this was one of the best vacation rentals we have ever enjoyed! The home was immaculate, well stocked, and in a perfect central, quiet location as we launched out each day to explore Glacier National Park and the surrounding areas. Charlotte and Pete were very cheerful and helpful at every step along the way. Their suggestions for locations to visit and places to eat were spot on and we were never disappointed! We will be recommending their home to our family and friends and hope to return soon!

Absolutely Perfect Stay - Highly Recommend!

We had an incredible experience at this property! The hosts were exceptionally welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel at home, offering fantastic local recommendations that truly enhanced our trip. The location is ideal, close to everything you need yet peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed a morning cup of coffee out on the terrace. The house itself was spotless and beautifully maintained. Communication with the host was seamless and prompt, making everything from check in to check out a breeze. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, plus thoughtful extras! Every detail was carefully considered and it showed. We felt completely comfortable and cared for throughout our stay. We will absolutely be staying here again.

We had a wonderful time during our 2nd trip to Glacier National Park! This townhouse was perfect for our family of 5, with enough beds for everyone. Charlotte and Peter welcomed us upon arrival and gave us a tour, instructions, and tourist guides, if we wanted them. The whole house was fully stocked with plenty in the kitchen to make meals and have pantry essentials to use. The extra large washer and dryer were a big plus in getting laundry done before leaving for home. The location was very close to Highway 2 to get to the park main entrance and very close to a shopping area with restaurants and groceries in Columbia Falls. There wasn't anything that I didn't bring that I needed to go to the store and get, it was well stocked! Thank you again and we will surely stay here again if we come back!

Charlotte and Peter’s home is one of the best vacation homes we have rented. We spent a week in Columbia Falls as our home base for exploring Glacier National Park and it was perfect. The house was clean, comfortable, and extremely well stocked. The checkin process was easy, and Charlotte, Peter, and their niece, Jacqueline, were very helpful. We will definitely be back!
