Great week in the home of the best hostess ever. We have never been pampered by an owner as much as were by Holly. We liked her so much we asked to meet her. If you’re going to Glaciar National rent from her. The house is in Columbia Falls. Central to everything.You’ll be glad you did!

Great place to stay and explore Glacier

We made this house our home base as we explored Glacier. It worked out great. Short drive to the West entrance. The house was well stocked and even had some extra items such as a cooler and bear spray that was so helpful as we explored the park. It was a beautiful place to come home to after a busy day. Very peaceful and quiet. We had 6 adults, and it was very comfortable and a well-stocked house. Would definitely stay there again.

We loved getting to know Holly through her pictures and texts messages. She left us a little check-in treat which were quite yummy and gone before we left the next day! Home was very charming and comfortable for our weary bones after spending every day at GNP! The town is also quite charming. Would definitely book again!

GNP Getaway

Our first visit to Glacier was perfect, in part due to our home. We had plenty of room to spread out after a long day of driving and hiking. The back deck was so peaceful; we hung out in the morning for breakfast and in the evening for cocktails and dinner. The horses in the pasture were friendly, as were the deer and cats near the property. Holly, the homeowner, left baked goods, coffee, recommendations, and bear spray! What we forgot, she provided. Such a thoughtful host from start to finish!

Spectacular Stay in Northern Montana!

I have been using VRBO for over 12 years now and have stayed at multiple homes. This home, by far, was one of my favorites! Only tied in the running for another home I stayed at in Southern Montana. Montana is just so beautiful! ☺️❤️ Holly was an AMAZING hostess. We had fresh flowers, fresh local coffee and pastries, and fresh homemade huckleberry jam waiting for us upon our arrival. Those little touches go a long way and were so appreciated! The house was a five out of five in every way! We especially enjoyed seeing the horses every morning and afternoon! It became a highlight of our trip. The location was perfect and was very easy to get to Glacier National as well as other fun areas such as Whitefish and Bigfork. I cannot recommend this house enough! Thank you, Holly, for an exceptional stay!

Holly was so easy to work with (even with an area power outage). The jam and pastries were a hit with all of us. The house was very clean and kitchen had many extras for our use. The deer and turkeys were fun to watch. Would recommend this to everyone.

Great place near West Glacier

This place is a gem. The house is well appointed, clean and comfortable. My kids loved going to visit the horses at the fence line everyday. The deck is nice to chill out on in the evenings. Only a ten minute drive to Columbia Falls or 15-20 to Kalispell. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location and lovely home

Located 20 miles from Glacier National park and 10 minutes from Columbia Falls. The home is as perfect as the pictures. We had horses in the field behind the house. Everyday a family of deer would hang out in the yard. Would definitely stay there again. The host, Holly, is awesome.

Beautifully furnished home in idyllic setting

This home is beautiful! The bedrooms are spacious, the furnishings are beautiful, and the home is clean and well stocked. Communications with host was superb. The host left us huckleberry jam to enjoy, which we did! The back deck overlooks a horse pasture with mountains in the back, facing the sunset! This is a very private and quiet setting. We saw deer and wild turkey, as well as horses. I highly recommend this lodging.

A piece of Montana Heaven

This home was perfect for our Glacier NP vacation. It’s location was easy to get to and being out away from town was perfect! The yard was beautiful. We truly enjoyed watching Holly’s horse in the field behind us. The neighbors had animals as well, but you never heard them. It was very quiet here. We enjoyed watching the sunset off of the back deck. Holly left us the name of a local butcher. Using the gas grill we were able to have an amazing dinner each night! The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Holly was a delight. She was very easy to reach and very nice. She even left us bear spray to take on our hikes. Along with amazing breakfast rolls and a sample of huckleberry jam. We also used a lunch bag type cooler that Holly had there. It really came in handy for our picnic lunches in the park. We were about 25-30 minutes from the west entrance. 5 minutes from downtown Columbia Falls. Such a great location!! We can’t wait to go back to Glacier and hope to stay here again!

Perfect location, comfortable and fully appointed family home

Holly's house was just right for our extended family stay while we explored Glacier. We used the fire pit every evening, grilled steaks from "Perfect Cut" butcher (thanks for the recommendation, Holly!), and enjoyed dinners on the deck. It's so nice to stay in a house that actually has spices in the kitchen cabinet! Beds were all comfortable, lots of good towels, washer and dryer and laundry detergent, a good selection of maps of the park and area, and a jar of homemade huckleberry preserves - everything we needed for a terrific stay - thank you, Holly!

This darling 3 bedroom home was perfect for our family trip to Glacier NP. It’s only 25 minutes to park entrance. A short drive to grocery stores and restaurants. Love that ‘country’ feel as this property has horses, and deer in the backyard! It is equipped with ALL the amenities you could think of, Bbq, fire pit, fully stocked kitchen, bear spray, comfortable beds, beautiful decorations, and one of the most friendliest hosts I’ve ever dealt with. Holly was so helpful and gracious. She had fresh cut flowers throughout the house, and when we arrived she had a gift for us. Wow! Over the top! I would most definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous home near Glacier National Park

This is the best rental property that we've stayed in! The photos simply don't do it justice. The home is situated on a beautiful, quiet and private property, with gorgeous views of the mountains and overlooking a serene horse pasture. Its location is convenient to Kalispell, Columbia Falls and Whitefish, and about 25 minutes to the west entrance of Glacier National Park. Super easy to get everywhere we needed to go. The house has plenty of space for a group of six and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to cook great meals and a gas grill for those nights that we chose to grill. There were games for us to play and firepit to relax around. The owner, Holly, was extremely kind, thoughtful and easy to communicate with and quick to respond to our questions. She thought of EVERYTHING when she designed this home. I can't recommend it highly enough - you will be very happy if you choose to stay here! My family hopes to return to Glacier someday and we'll definitely rent this home again.
