About this property

Welcome to The Ponderosa!

The Ponderosa (VRBO #3351557) is a property we bought a few years ago and renovated. It is on 9 private acres. And has a HUGE Ponderosa tree on the property. Which is Montana's state tree. It's a house in the treetops with beautiful views of all that Montana offers. Every amenity is here for your memorable stay, such as a large gas/charcoal grill, outdoor firepit, and a cozy deck to enjoy meals throughout your stay, We are only 3 miles outside of Columbia Falls and 5 miles from Whitefish. The back road between the two towns is where the house is situated, which makes this location very desirable. Meadow Lake golf course is a mile away. Which features a very popular golf course as well as a nice restaurant and bar that has a happy hour every day! There is also rodeos down the road every Thursday and occasional Saturday during the summer. And a nice walking trail down the road along the creek that takes 5 minutes or less to drive to you. Glacier Park is 25 mins away, Big Sky waterslides are 10 mins, and Whitefish Mountain Resort is also 20 minutes This property can sleep up to 6 guests comfortably. We do accept well-behaved pets (no more than 2 please) but ask that you keep them off our furniture. There is plenty of room for dog beds on the front porch or in the house. There is quite a bit of wildlife that roams through our property such as deer, fox, coyotes, and bear. Which they call this forest their home. We have lovely neighbors and want to keep it that way. The surrounding neighbors have children, horses, guinea hens, chickens, cats, and their own dogs. Which means your pet must be under control or leashed at all times. Now that the major rules are out of the way we hope this will be a good fit for you, your friends, & pets! I'm happy to answer any questions you may have we appreciate you considering to stay at The Ponderosa!!

Out in the Woods
The property was as stated. We enjoyed looking out at forest. We stayed when it was very hot outside but house stayed comfortable. We are bit older so our only comment would be that the stares to the unit at altitude were a little hard on us. Our stay was beautiful

Perfect for us .
From airport at midnight, came by 24 hr grocery and to property with no problem. Secluded and beautiful views from upper deck with hummingbirds, grilling and family time. Granddaughter on her phone was able to get vehicle passes every day. Close to Glacier. The rooms upstairs were cooler and downstairs warmer which was perfect for our group. Owner easy to reach, communicate with and very helpful. One bathroom worked out mostly fine. Great time, clean and very comfortable. Thanks!

Near West Glacier
Stayed here with family. There were 7 of us total. Sat out by the fire one night. House was clean. Owner stayed in touch and answered questions quick. Nice house for vacation or just to get away. We loved being in the woods.
