Great location for glacier

Great location with a shirt drive to glacier and great close food options. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The bikes and the garage were great! Only downside was no AC which not an issue in late September.

Great Location

This home has a great location in Columbia Falls. It is in a nice quiet location off the main street and walking distance to restaurants. We were here to visit and hike Glacier National Park and bear spray was available in the home which was a very nice plus. The home was perfect for our needs.

Wonderful Stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Station. The accommodations were wonderful and reasonably priced for the area for two people, and the location in Columbia Falls was perfect. So much to do right near the Station, and a short drive to Whitefish, our favorite area besides the park! The house had a washer and dryer, and even bear spray, hand warmers, dryer sheets, a dishwasher, a coffee maker AND local coffee, and spices. Plenty of towels! We would return to this lovely home. The hosts did a wonderful job!

Just what we needed!

We had an amazing stay at the station. We visited GNP as well as a music festival in Whitefish. Great location. The house was incredibly well stocked and clean. My only suggestion would be to make a fan or 2 available for the hot summer days. Thank you for sharing your house!

Fabulous place in the heart of the city

We had a great stay at The Station. The house was cute, clean, and comfortable - even better than described in the listing. We loved the National Park memorabilia throughout the house. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom has large shower with great water pressure and a heated floor(!!). We found everything we needed in the kitchen (dishes, cooking utensils, pans, toaster, coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher) and a washer and dryer in the house. The house has Wi-Fi service throughout the house. The kids decided to sleep separately, one slept on the comfortable pull-out couch in the living room and the other enjoyed the full-size bed in the second bedroom. The house is located on a quiet block a short block from the main street (Nucleus) where we found great restaurants (the Gunsight where we had a wonderful time at Trivia Tuesday), coffee shops, a grocery store, and several cute gift shops. There are plenty of things to do in the winter. We brought snowshoes and trekked through the Glacier National Park (not to be missed, truly awesome - only 12 miles away). We also discovered Rivers Edge park only a few blocks away -- good for a walk or snowshoe adventure to soak up the splendor of the nearby river & Teakettle and Columbia mountains. We enjoyed restaurants and shops in Kalispell and Whitefish and captured spectacular views and pictures from Flathead Lake. The Station was a great "base station" for our family. An easy stay with no stress. We will be back!
