Great place. Close to GNP west entrance (about 15 min) and an easy drive to many other locations. Hosts were very responsive to questions we had. The location on the river was wonderful and we were able to take advantage of the fire pit. Only negative was some road noise. We would stay there again.

Beautiful location along the River, the home was warm, welcoming, well furnished and the kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable allowing a great night’s sleep after good, long days in the Park, which was only a few minutes away. We had a wonderful stay, thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Glacier National Park acation

We had wonderful time exploring not only Glacier it the surrounding area. The house was perfectly located on the river, we had a campfire each evening after a long day. We had 6 in our party 3 adults and 3 teens, very comfortable. The owner was very prompt when the grill tank was emptied they brought us one the next day. A few must dos that are close…Cowgirl Coffee and Glacier distilling. Thursday night Brash Rodeo right in Columbia Falls. We hope to come back again and would stay here.

Amazing house on the Flathead River

This is probably the best VRBO we have ever stayed in and we stay in a lot! Everyone loved the location, the views, the stocked kitchen, and the proximity to grocery and restaurants. Our group loves to cook and found everything we needed. our house were extremely responsive and the information book and labeling around the house Extremely helpful. The beds were super comfortable and the master tub big enough to soak in! We absolutely loved our time there.

What a wonderful house!! We were a family of 7 and one baby. First time to Glacier and Jeff and Kelly’s place was perfect. The location worked out well for going to the park, town and Flat Head Lake. The home kitchen was well equipped, comfy beds and the fire pit near the river made for a perfect evening at the end of the day. Highly recommend!!
