Come enjoy our fun little house on the Flathead River, 20 minutes from Glacier!

Adorable little 1 bedroom house in a phenomenal location! River’s Edge Cottage is located only a 20 minute drive from Glacier National Park and 10 minutes from Whitefish! Located directly across the street from River’s Edge Park on the Flathead River. This park holds 30+ acres of open space, walking trails, river access and a fishing pond stocked with Montana Brook trout (Montana fishing license required)! A short walk up the hill brings guests to Columbia Falls’ wonderful downtown shops, bakeries and restaurants, groceries, pickleball, you name it! We love this little old house and have put a lot of care and effort in making it a nice home away from home. We are so excited to share our little gem of a house with you and all it has to offer!

Prime Location

Really loved the location. Across the street from a lovely park with trail to river edge. Well groomed. Appears very safe & cleanThe house is older & has had updates but the original character is evident. Honestly we did not cook there, use the tv, or the ac. There is a nice historic street with coffee, grocery and other shops nearby. Communication with owners was prompt and clear.

Great Stay in Columbia Falls

The house is perfectly sized for two people and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We used it as a base for Glacier NP, an easy 20-minute drive away. Columbia Falls has great restaurants and shops, and Whitefish is a short drive away for additional options. The city park right across the street is very impressive for such a small town. The hosts were great, we would definitely stay again.

Great little house

The house is cute and small and clean. Location is literally a 15 second walk from the big riverside park so that was a bonus. Had everything we needed and the stay was stress free and great. Just a 15 minute drive or so to the glacier entrance.

Cozy cabin, Perfect location: peaceful and convenient!

Beautiful property, perfect size for our small family to stay! Convenient and peaceful location tucked away in Columbia Falls. So many local restaurants, stores, and parks to walk or bike to…only about 20 minutes drive to Glacier Park or Kalispell. So much to do! Our hosts were very kind and responsive to any questions or concerns, and it was helpful to have some guidance from local residents.

We loved the house! It was perfect for my spouse and I and our two dogs. Everything was very clean and the the city park across the street had some great walking trails! Restaurants and a store are within walking distance. Glacier National Park is about 20 minutes away.

Great location for Glacier

We stayed five nights while touring Glacier National Park in the daytime. 20 minutes from the west park entrance. Few highlights: fast wi-fi (key to procuring Glacier entrance passes!!), friendly and knowledgeable hosts, laundry onsite, beautiful open space park across the road on the Flathead River.

Babymoon to Glacier NP

The place was just what we were looking for during our Babymoon to Glacier NP. We loved being right down the road from Flathead River. We were only about 25 minutes away from the West Entrance to Glacier National Park, 10 minutes to downtown Whitefish and walking distance to Columbia Falls restaurants and stores. The bed and pillows were super comfortable and the shower pressure was great, just what we needed to come back to after a day of hiking the park. It was so nice to have the ability to make our own coffee, breakfast and lunches to pack with us for the day. The neighbors were quite. I would recommend staying here if you're looking to explore Glacier National Park or any of the surrounding areas.

Perfect place to stay when visiting Glacier National Park

What a great location when visiting Glacier National Park. The host was very responsive to our messages and fixing an issue that came up during our stay. We ate out twice at restaurants near the house, and they were both delicious. My other favorite part of the house is that it was right next to a big gorgeous park where you can go walk, fish at a pond if you’d like, and hang out right next to a river!

"Home-Away-From-Home"

GREAT LOCATION - The town of Columbia Falls is not bougie …and that appeals to me. There are several close-by restaurants, pubs and grills to chose from. Located close to trail heads in Glacier Park and in National Forests (without being marooned in the boondocks) …the “cottage” is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. - Three grocery stores were in the vicinity. - The kitchen was sufficiently appointed. - Bed was comfortable. - Bathroom did what bathrooms are supposed to do. - The hosts were very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
