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. ##### Chris K.

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. ##### Arnica S.

Aug 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Marguerite D. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra P.

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! ##### Saori N.

Oct 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### "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. ##### William M.
