This was everything we needed for our family of 15. Each couple had their own bathroom, the kids could run around outside and play. It’s close to the park for day trips. The huge fridge and the set up for pantry items was ideal. Fully equipped kitchen and we used it. The coffee maker was also great. The home is so well set up for a comfortable stay.

We are pleased you found the Montana Homestead accommodating for your large group of 15 with plenty of comfortable space for everyone. The best is having separate bathrooms for everyone. We stock the kitchen and pantry to be a home-away-from home and convenient for traveling guests. Our "Pay It Forward" program with the guests, contributing and using and sometimes replacing seems to be popular and we hope to continue it for years to come.

We are a group of 4 couples who have enjoyed many VRBO's in the US and abroad. This one was the most complete and comfortable yet. Everything we could need in the kitchen was provided. The dishes, the glasses, the cookware were wonderful. The grill was new and the tools abundant. They even had an instant read digital thermometer so I didn't burn the chicken.The house was spacious and the bathrooms were abundant. The yard was beautiful and we enjoyed the fire pit, The house came with wood and everything needed. Wide porches on 3 sides made for great siiting and watching the deer and wild turkeys.The location made for an easy drive to Glacier National Park and we had easy access to great places to dine.Kathryn, our host, did a great job communicating.I highly recommend this house.

We visited Montana, as my daughter was getting married in Glacier National Park. There were 12 of us traveling and this home was the perfect fit. There was plenty of room, where we all stayed comfortably. Kitchen had all the amenities that you need for cooking or grilling out. Plenty of bathrooms! The porch was one of my favorite spots, if you want to just relax. Rooms were very clean and beds were comfortable. Fire pit, for doing s'mores was a big hit with our crew, and playing corn hole. The home was the perfect location to other places we visited. Our hostess, Kathryn, was phenomenal. She was quick to respond to any questions I had and her Welcome Packet was top notch.

This property was an absolute dream vacation find. We had 11 members in the family, and everyone had their own room/ area which was a big deal. We loved watching the wildlife by the apple tree during the morning sunrise on the porch. They stocked the kitchen with all the appliances you may need and plenty of space to hold a family dinner. The space itself was gorgeous, loved the exterior cabin look and inside was so cozy. They have taken very good care of the lawn and the landscape. Truly a great find.

Beautiful Cabin

This property was beautiful, including the grill and outdoor area. Close to the airport and the National Park. The owner was very proactive in communication - she checked on us multiple times throughout our stay to make sure we had what we needed. Word to the wise - the bedroom downsrairs can hear all walking on the upper floor - not a deal-breaker for us as we were so worn out from hiking, we went right to sleep - but probably best to put heavier sleepers in this room. LOVED this property! We will definitely come back!

Thank you so much for staying with us last summer. We are excited to share we have renovated the cabin to include 6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths with central A/C to all the bedrooms. We hope you will consider us again in the future or refer us to friends. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn Price

Host profile image
My parents, David and Carla Shaffer built the Montana Homestead in the spring of 1977. Providing a home for their eleven children, they had a large garden, raised cows, goats, pigs and even pastured horses for the neighbors. David was a local teacher of mathematics at the junior high, high school and community college. Carla was a stay at home mom and housewife, teaching her children the responsibilities of being hard workers, good work ethic and overall a good citizen in the community. David is now retired and Carla passed away April 2019.

To keep the Homestead is the family, David sold the house to his daughter, Kathryn Price, a life long resident of Columbia Falls. Together with her husband, Darin and their four children they are continuing the family tradition of bringing families together in a comfortable environment while enjoying the many activities that NW Montana has to offer. Renovations have begun to modernize the Homestead without losing its rustic appeal. A large barn is planned for the near future to also host events on site to include family reunions, scrapbook retreats and weddings.

Why they chose this property

This family-friendly property is larger than it seems in the pictures and provides plenty of room to roam through the pasture or wooded walking trails. We offer seasonal outdoor games for group activities and the cabin has lots of room to accommodate large groups. Close to town and amenities you'll be pleasantly surprised at all we have to offer. Plenty of room for everyone in a large group.

What makes this property unique

The Montana Homestead "the cabin" has a special spirit, that you will experience during your stay with us. The cabin is meant for re-grounding yourself, encourages putting down the electronics and spending time with the ones you love in a comfortable, fun environment for everyone.
