Beautiful spotless cozy home in a great location. Great communication with the hosts. My family loved our stay there. Enjoyed the fire pit. Cooking in the kitchen was great! All around great place to stay.
We had a fantastic stay at the Big Black Barn! The unit was well kept and clean. The property itself was gorgeous with beautiful views of the mountains. 10/10 would stay again and recommend to others.
Had a wonderful stay! The property was amazing inside and out. Was one of the nicest VRBO’s we have had the pleasure of enjoying. Thanks Clay and Sarah!
Beautiful place with great views of the mountains in the background, very clean and modern. The “barn” was recommended to us by a family member. We will definitely be back.
Amazing modern place. Exactly as listed. We had an amazing time at glacier and knew we had a comfortable relaxing place to come back to. 30 minutes to the park and everything you could need.
The property was very clean and organized with everything we needed. Plenty of space for our family of 4. Owners were close by and responded quickly whenever we needed anything. Location is great, far enough away from traffic that easily driving distance for food and reaching West Glacier.
Property was wonderful, very nice & well decorated. When we needed something, owner was there within ten minutes. So helpful and overall such an amazing experience. Not only the owners and place but the views, fire pit, amenities and distance from glacier were all 10/10 ! A must stay (:
This property was beautiful. It was in the perfect location to get to Glacier, Whitefish, and Kalispell. Sarah and Clay were great hosts and communication was easy, especially preparing for our trip. The house was very clean, sheets and bedding were so comfy, and they even had extra essentials if you forgot yours. We loved this place so much. It had amazing views and was the perfect place to relax and enjoy our wedding and honeymoon. If we were to ever return to Glacier we would absolutely stay here again!
This is the BEST rental property we have ever stayed at. The location is so convenient for adventures at Glacier National Park, with many restaurants and grocery stores only a short distance away. The property and home are gorgeous - such attention to detail, impeccable interior decorating, and beautiful outdoor landscape. The hosts (Sarah & Clay) are so welcoming, and really make their guests feel safe and “at home”. Of special note - the beds are super comfortable, the layout is open & airy, washer & dryer are awesome, and the dimmer switches throughout make for lovely ambiance. We are so glad we found this hidden gem in Montana. We hope to stay again at the Big Black Barn!!
5 star rental! Beautiful, comfortable, with fantastic amenities. This well-built new structure is hosted by a wonderful husband and wife team. Grounds and surroundings are amazing. The nicest short term rental we've ever visited. Perfect for daytrips to Glacier, Whitefish and Flathead Lake. Can't recommend this place enough!
The Black Barn was absolutely fabulous! Everything was so new and clean and spacious. The beds and pillows were amazing, plus the host had everything we needed and they thought of everything. Great location for us, as we went to Glacier National Park each day. Plus close to restaurants and stores, but away enough to feel secluded. HIGHLY recommend this property and we plan to come back again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the "Big Black Barn". The location was perfect for exploring West Glacier N.P. and we had convenient access to Columbia Falls for shopping and restaurants.
The Browns have created a very comfortable home-away-from-home with this property - very clean & well-maintained with modern appointments and comfortable beds. We can truthfully say that this was one of the best equipped properties we have rented - from kitchen supplies to a well stocked first-aid closet (including bear spray to use while exploring the park). There is even a private, wood burning fire pit area complete with all the fixin's for s'mores! We would definitely stay here again!
