We had a very pleasant stay here. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking staples. The furniture and beds were comfortable. There was a variety of literature about the area to help us plan our visit. It was close to the West Entrance to GNP so that was also a plus. The location was very peaceful and quiet, which we appreciated after a long day of travel. Rosemary was quick to respond to any questions that I had. I would recommend this vacation rental.

The location was perfect for a visit to Glacier National Park, since it was only a few minutes away. It was really nice to sit on the porch and listen to the waterfall in the nearby stream. The beds were also quite comfortable. We had everything we needed so it was a great visit!
Exactly as described, quiet mountain retreat with easy access to Glacier National Park. Super easy check in and great communication. House had everything we needed for our stay.

We wish we could have stayed longer! The pictures don’t do the house or property justice. Such a beautiful place to stay and the location was perfect for visiting Glacier National Park.

Thank you, Lanelle, for your review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Jaybird’s! Please come see us again.
Photos can't fully show how wonderful this place is. Clean, carefully maintained and family-friendly. Relaxing atmosphere with a great blend of modern convenience and old-time Montana feel. Quiet, comfortable, and close to so much. Nicely appointed kitchen, we lacked for nothing. We will definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Rosemary Mattick
Abbott Valley was gifted to us by our parents about 25 years ago. We grew up here riding horses, fishing and swimming, hiking in the mountains, building forts, and riding tractors and haying and raising cattle. We went away to school, had careers, came back and now our third generation of family is enjoying 'the ranch'. The Foley Family
Why they chose this property
Abbott Valley is a 270 acre homestead minutes from the West Entrance to Glacier National Park. Nestled near Desert Mountain, and surrounded by Flathead National Forest, this is one of the larger tracts of land, still intact, which was originally homesteaded in 1910 shortly before the establishment of Glacier National Park (1911) and the founding of the National Park Service (1916). Abbott Valley is comprised of meadows, forests, beaver ponds and criss-crossed by two creeks, North and South Abbott. Two of our rentals - Mickey's and Baptiste - are the original homestead cabins dating back 100 years and though they have been remodeled they retain their original authentic log structures. They are a delight to stay in and it is fun to marvel that right here the Indians pitched tee-pees on the property and traded with the early settlers.
Abbott Valley is family owned and operated. We live here and are available to answer questions to help make your vacation a memorable experience. We have been welcoming guests for 25 years. Many return year after year, having 'chosen' one cabin or another as theirs, putting their roots down, if only for a week or two, so they can enjoy time with each other in a beautiful, serene setting.
What makes this property unique
Our location is an ideal base for exploring Glacier National Park, the Hungry Horse Reservoir, Whitefish, Kalispell, Bigfork and all that the Flathead has to offer.
