Quiet Oasis

We traveled from South Carolina to stay here and it was everything we could have hoped for! It's the perfect place to stay with your spouse. It's very well equipped with pots/pans, etc. Loved that they provided bear spray, bug spray and sunscreen for us and were readily available when we needed to contact them. Would definitely stay here again!

The location was perfect for hoping in and out of the park. It was quiet and just out of town so no crowds of people to deal with. Perfect. They thought of everything.

Loved our stay

Our stay here exceeded our expectations. The space itself is really nicely updated and is the perfect size for two people. The hosts provided almost everything you’d need during your stay, including coolers, bear spray, bug spray, and sunscreen. The bed is amazingly comfortable and perfect after a long day of hiking. The location is close to the west entrance of Glacier and Whitefish, and is really close to tons of restaurants and coffee spots. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect getaway!

We stayed here 3 nights while visiting Glacier National Park. The cabin was clean and spacious (for 2 people). Little extras like the bear claw tub and cooler were icing on the cake. We even saw a buck and doe in the yard. Highly recommend.

Cozy stay near West Glacier

Cozy studio in a good location. The place was clean and had a kitchen with major appliances. Additional amenities such as bear sprays, insulated lunch bags, keurig coffemaker, netflix/ hulu channels and picinc chairs made it a pleasant experience. The bed was super comfy. One negative is the sliding door to the bathroom that is on a septic system. Make sure to keep the bathroom window open to avoid smells. The wifi router also seemed to be disconnected, but the area has good cell phone reception.

Best Little Nest

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay! The kitchen had everything we needed so we didn’t have to purchase extras like aluminum foil, coffee, or salt and pepper. (Just to name a few) Everything was clean and very nice. If I had to choose one minor thing to nit pick, it would be for nicer toilet paper but seriously…it was fine! It is important to prepare for the fact that there is no washer/dryer in the unit so you will need to plan to use the one of the local laundromats or hand wash and hang. Again, not a big deal but be sure you understand that prior to booking. If we are ever back in the area, just the two of us, we would definitely stay here again!!

Short drive to Glacier

The property sites in the backyard of another property, on top of a garage. Its features are nice and overall feel is nice as well but felt like we were "over promised and under delivered" on the location, type of property and views. It was a bit of a shock when we pulled up to see where it was and location to other people. We didn't see anyone but did hear some traffic from the people behind and from the house in front. The apartment is on the smaller side, probably about 250ish square feet of living space. Not bad, but if you have more than 2 people it may start to feel cramped. The bed and sheets were comfy and clean, and the bathroom was well stocked with linen. The kitchen even had bear spray, and the owners provided coolers The drive to Glacier is a great little 20 minutes and location to downtown Columbia Falls, Whitefish and Kalispell means you have plenty of options for food. Overall, wasn't bad and provided a place to relax but being that this was for our honeymoon, we feel a bit let down as the expectations of what we saw and what we got wasnt met.

Not super impressed

This was a clean and cute place but very impracticable. No cooking spray. Tv volume didn't work. No active tv. Couch is super uncomfortable. I'm 5' 6" and my husband is even taller and the back of the couch didn't even come up to the shoulders so no support. The a/c didn't keep the place cool. It took hrs for the temperature to drop in there. The table/bar area has no room for your legs. So if your tall this is not the place to rent. The shower was too small for my husband. Two shower heads were great however, with the low ceiling was not a good thing. Location was fine for us. We heard a train some mornings but not a big deal. Nice owners. Super friendly. There's a book from previous renters and the same issues as I'm placing here. Might want to change a few things and I just wish people were more honest I probably wouldn't have rented this place. Sorry!
