We very much enjoyed our time there. The small cabin was clean and worked well for 4 teenage boys up in the loft and 1 adult on the futon.

The owners were very friendly and helpful. The property was nice. It’s pretty secluded and you do go down quite a bit of gravel roads to get there. Over all it seemed a little pricey for what it was but it was our first b&b so really don’t know.

This was the best place we stayed on our trip out west! The owners were super knowledgeable about the area and Glacier National Park. They served amazing hot breakfast both mornings and even allowed us to walk and explore their property near the river.

This is a lovely family-run property, located in a quiet area about 10 miles from Columbia Falls. They provided us with maps and bear spray and all sorts of information about the area, and wonderful, home-cooked breakfasts each day. I would really describe this as a bit more of a 'bed and breakfast' than a hotel.

Nancy and Scott who run the place are very welcoming and so helpful with anything needed. A great resource. They provide a great breakfast each morning. It is located in the beautiful mountains about 15 minutes to the West Entrance. It was clean, and had an outdoorsy cabin feel.

Nancy and her husband were very hospitable and provided a delicious breakfast each morning! Every day we came home to a clean room, small chocolates in our room and they were there for anything we needed (advice, maps, bear spray, etc!). We would absolutely go back and we are thankful for their hospitality!
