Our fam of 3 loved staying in the cottage - especially the ease of getting to Glacier NP. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, and very much appreciated the washer dryer. Would stay again!
Great place. Clean, comfortable, welcoming. Close to Glacier but also close to Columbia Falls (good for food & supplies).Wish we could have stayed longer.
The location was perfect & the cabin was fit our needs exactly. It was spotless, clear instructions were left & the beds were super comfy. Would definitely stay here again.

Thanks so much, and also thanks for leaving the cottage so nice when you left! By the looks of your notes in the guestbook, you guys did a pretty good job of getting into the high alpine, and the rivers. (Mt Brown!?👍). And glad you made it to Jewel Basin and got to meet the goats on Mt Aneas. - Say high to the dolphins off Marco Island for me (what a beautiful place; I actually lived on a boat in Crayton Cove right next to the Dock Restaurant for a small time in between college and law school. I miss the snook fishing). Safe travels! Come back soon.
Would recommend staying in this adorable house! Well stocked from body wash to laundry detergent! Nice deck for eating meals. Hosts were amazing to work with!
Our stay was great! The house was very clean and was supplied with everything we needed. The location was tucked away with trees surrounding the property and close enough to town and west glacier National park entrance. This was our first time in Montana and we absolutely love it here! Can’t wait for our next trip back.
House was nicely laid out but could tell it was lived in. The homeowner checked in with us several times to make sure everything was going well. Wish we were able to have an outdoor fire but understood the reason why we couldn't and we were good with it because staring at the stars at night were just as good.
Excellent stay in every aspect. The location was beautiful, the cottage was wonderful, clean, well-kept and exactly as advertised. The owners have great attention to detail and truly care for this property. Hoping to stay here again in the future.
We absolutely loved the cottage. Andy (the host) stayed in constant contact and went out of his way to ensure everything was perfect! We've been on the road traveling all week and the cottage was a very relaxing and comfortable place to relax especially after a full day of hiking in the National Park. Absolutely loved it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was extremely clean and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable.
The location was conveniently located between Glacier National Park entrance and Whitefish. It was near the highway, but just far enough off the road to have privacy.
We wish we could have stayed longer, but really enjoyed the time we were there.

Thanks! We hope you can come again; We just recently added a new window in the bathroom and a gas fireplace in the main room.
We loved everything about this cabin! It's close to the west entrance of Glacier National Park and the nearby towns of Columbia Falls and Whitefish but it feels very secluded. the cabin is bright, spacious and was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to make all of our meals and the patio was the perfect spot to relax in the afternoon after a long day of hiking. We can't wait to stay here again in the future!

Thanks so much!! And please do come back some time!
We stayed in several different spots while visiting GNP. This house was by far the cleanest and best place we stayed. The host communicated well and had it clean and ready upon arrival. The beds were comfortable and every item needed was provided. We'll definitely consider staying here when returning to visit again. Hummingbirds here are the added bonus!

Thanks so much! We hope you do come back to stay with us again…the hummingbirds will be waiting!
My husband and I wanted a house for our trip to Montana—somewhere we could come back to after a long visit in Glacier, and we couldn’t have asked for a better house to book! It had everything you’d need to be comfortable. This is in a perfect location for the area! You’re basically really close to the park, really close to Columbia Falls, and really close to Whitefish! If you’re coming to Glacier, book this house!!!!!!

Thanks Lauren! We appreciate the kind words, and are so happy you enjoyed our little cottage.
It was very clean, comfortable and we felt right at home! So close to the Apgar (West) entrance of Glacier NP! Many helpful hints provided in house notebook. Andy was a pleasure to work with-very responsive and accommodating, We highly recommend Andy's cottage and would definitely stay here again!

Great place. Conveniently located close to the National park and Columbia Falls. Private and we felt right at home. Bed was very comfortable and cottage had a great layout for a couple seeking a romantic getaway (like we were) or a family seeking to explore the area together. Well-stocked kitchen and we cooked often. The hosts were extremely helpful with recommendations of hikes, restaurants, etc. Only thing we can think of to improve it is a better Chef’s knife.

Thanks Andrea! And good idea about the chef’s knife (I was thinking the same thing last time we stayed there and I was making fajitas). It will be on my list for my trip to Costco today!
Myself, my husband and two kids ages 11 & 6 stayed a couple nights at the cottage while visiting Glacier. Andy was very helpful with our Glacier visit planning. My kids were in love with the cottage they had the loft to themselves and we had the comfy master bedroom to ourselves. It was super easy to find and close to Columbia Falls. We went to town to get groceries and also to eat one night. Will definitely stay again!

The hosts thought of everything to make this VRBO our temporary home when visiting Glacier National Park. Plenty of staples in the kitchen to beach towels for our use if needed. Helpful binder of information that we referenced. And clean throughout the house!

Thanks Bradley! ...and we're glad the "local info" binder was a help.
Andy and Wendy’s cottage is a great place to be convenient to Glacier but secluded at the same time. It’s close to the Apgar and Camas entrances, and Columbia Falls for shopping or dining.
They have everything you would need during your stay, and it’s all easy to find and all instructions are clear. The “welcome package” is super thoughtful as well. If we’re ever back to the area, this will be our first choice!
Adorable cabin. About 5 minutes from Columbia falls and 15 minutes from west glacier entrance. Columbia has done great coffee shops and restaurants for diner.it’s really perfectly located for a vacation to get away from it all. Cabin is clean, thoughtful amenities, and pup friendly. Great deck to enjoy after a long day of hiking. It seems secluded but is close to it all. Hosts are fantastic. This is a great choice.
The property was very well maintained and was perfect for our family vacation with our two adult children. It gave us separate sleeping rooms, kitchen, laundry and nice living room with opportunity to take in a family movie after a busy day in Glacier. Thanks so much for sharing your cottage with us and all the wonderful emails and suggestions prior to our check in. The location is great for a day at Bowman Lake and Polebridge, a drive on the Going to Sun Road, evenings around Lake McDonald and plenty of hiking opportuniites.

Thanks so much for the kind words! It truly is great to hear that you enjoyed the cottage and had a good time.
We absolutely loved our stay here. It was the perfect home away from home! It was only 15 minutes to town and 30 to Whitefish which is great shopping! We always appreciate staying a bit out of town where it’s quieter. It’s 20 minutes to the West entrance of Glacier. The house was perfectly clean and stocked with everything necessity you would need. Our kids loved having their own space in the loft and our little dog loved watching the prairie dogs! We can’t wait to visit again! 10/10 from us!

Thanks guys! I’m glad you caught some good weather. The hummingbirds were sad to see you go.
Andy and Wendy thought of every comfort to make our stay amazing whether the weather was nice or as on our last day, windy with torrential rain. From instructions on how to operate the individual thermostats in each room to ideas on what we might enjoy visiting, Andy and Wendy made their home a welcome and pet friendly place to stay. We would definitely book this tastefully decorated and ideally located cabin again if we come back to Glacier. We had a question and Andy responded to our message within an hour. We have run our own vacation rental and can truly say, this is a wonderful place to stay!

Thanks so much for the kind words Christina! It really makes us happy to know folks enjoy our little place as much as we do. Come back soon!
Very lovely house. Just longer drive to get to the park entrance than described.
Very clean. Nice layout. Just had issues with the fire alarm going off twice during the night. Couldn't find any issues. Maybe needs a new battery? Great house.

Thats weird..sorry about that. Can you tell us which smoke detector is was? It may need to be replaced.
Thanks, Andy
This was the perfect sized cabin for us and within perfect distance from west glacier, the main town of Columbia falls and whitefish. The fireplace was the perfect touch for the cold fall mornings. We took advantage of the local hikes that are close to the cabin. Checkin and checkout was very easy and the cabin was well equipped with everything we needed and very clean! I will say I loved the darkening curtains in the bedroom so I could sleep in. WiFi worked well too and was a great addition as neither of us had cell service at the cabin. Would definitely stay here again, thank you for sharing your little gem with us !

Thanks for the kind words Rachel! We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Come back soon!
This property was something else. Unique, comfortable, well-appointed inside. The outside deck was fantastic and the special species of hummingbirds entertaining us was the cherry on top, with some regular visits by deer and prairie dogs. Location is perfect as it is close enough to everything (town with restaurants/supplies, GNP) but also secluded enough to feel like you are not close to town. Love, loved it. We hiked all of our four days there and, while we were sad at the end of every hike, we had the cottage to look forward to. Just beautiful. A slice of heaven.
