Steps away from the beautiful Kootenai River; Timber River Guest House.

Timber River Guest House offers gorgeous views of the Kootenai River and the surrounding mountains, plus all the amenities of an upscale hotel, but with more flexibility. Our family friendly accommodations offer three deluxe bedrooms and two bathrooms, which easily sleeps six. For an additional fee, we also offer an additional queen Murphy bed for a maximum occupancy of 8 persons. So whether you are looking for a romantic get-a-way for two, a friends trip or a family vacation, we have something to fit your needs.

This property is not a shared space, although there is a shared main entrance to the owner's second home. If the owner is to be on-site for maintenance purposes during your stay it will be disclosed in advance.

Guest accommodations include a fully stocked kitchen, laundry facilities, and a game room with a 65" TV (Dish Network), pool table, and a large variety of cards and board games. Additionally, guest have access to a riverside gas grill and fire pit.

Located just 7 miles from Libby, Timber River Guest House is centrally located so you can easily enjoy tours and activities at the Libby Dam, disc golf, fly fishing, floating the river, hiking and biking, plus all the amenities and restaurants that Libby has to offer. Floating or kayaking from Timber River to town takes about 2 hours and is a guest favorite, as is eagle watching from our patio.

We invite you to put your cell phones away and enjoy this amazing Montana riverside getaway.

Montana Visit to the Timber River Guest House

W had never been to Montana. We had planned this trip to visit our son, who recently relocated to Libby. This property, its location on the Kootenai River, and the host’s responsiveness all exceeded our expectations. The host has thought of every little detail and convenience to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. We will stay here next time we visit (hope it is available)!

Nicest VRBO we’ve ever stayed in!!!

This property was absolutely gorgeous. The space was well laid out with basically two masters on opposite sides of the home. The furniture, bedding, fixtures, and extras were all top quality and the pool table was a bonus. The whole property was spotless and clean. We LOVED the our door fire table and enjoyed watching the bald eagles across the river. Woods highly recommend this property!!

Beautiful riverfront stay!

We loved staying here for our recent trip to Libby to visit friends and family. The Kootenai river never disappoints in its beauty! This property was perfect for enjoying morning coffee and evening wine on the patio and watching the bald eagles flying and nesting along the river bank. Everyone enjoyed our stay. Thanks so much!

Best Vacation Ever

What can I say about this home and the managers that haven't already been said. They set the high mark and are absolutely the best of the best when it comes to communication and hospitality. The house is spectacular and the location, amazing. We could have used a few more days and definitely plan to make several more visits. Honestly I wish all VRBO homes were like this. Perfection at it's very best.

A Piece of Paradise!

What an excellent retreat to “re-charge” and relax at. Plenty of attractions to do in the area. Be sure to take in all the recommendations offered by the hosts to see in the area! Peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle that could be at Whitefish or Glacier. But the beautiful scenery and abundance of animals is certainly matched! Loved sitting out on the deck watching the eagles, animals, and river go by! Just perfect, and perfectly comfortable. First class, first rate!

Family wedding

I absolutely loved our stay at this riverfront property. The location was perfect for my sons who enjoyed fishing every chance they got. Linda, the host, was incredibly thoughtful, providing snacks and water upon our arrival. The layout of the house was ideal for our family, with bunk beds for the boys and separate quarters for my parents, ensuring everyone had their own space. Linda and her husband were delightful and always available to offer recommendations or assistance. My son even received some valuable fishing tips from Linda's husband. The cleanliness and comfort of the property exceeded our expectations, especially knowing that all bedding and blankets were washed between guests. We would definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

The Family Trip

We had a wonderful time! I highly recommend staying here! We had everything we needed. The owners were very responsive. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much for letting us purchase/rent the second part of the house. I thought it was all included, my mistake but we were able to get the other room and bathroom for a minimal fee. We saw so many animals from our porch area, Elk, deer, eagles, turkeys up the street. Everyone was so friendly. I didn't want to leave. I am hoping to come back to Montana every year!

River Front House

This was an amazing get away. The property had everything that we needed, to include entertainment for the kids and family in the rec room. The house was very clean, everything was functional, an plenty of space for three adults and two kids. Taking full advantage of the patio is a must during breakfast, lunch and dinner. It offers beautiful views of the wildlife, mountains and the river. Libby is only a 10 min drive away if you need groceries, gas or a restaurant. The only recommendation I have is to plus up the number of plates and cups. If I recall it correctly the place can sleep 8, but there are only four plates and cups.
