About this property

Relaxing River Retreat 15 Miles from West Glacier Gate

This 2015 Vacation Retreat is nestled in the Columbia Falls area centered perfectly for exploring the Flathead Valley. This home away from home has views of the Flathead River and the gorgeous Swan Mountain Range from the front deck! The Cedar Pointe Community is the new pinnacle of living in the Glacier Gateway area, with beautiful on-site nature trails that lead straight to the river. There is room for corn hole game in front side yard and a public boat launch only 10 minutes down the road. The home places the explorer within short distance of countless opportunities for adventure and new memories. The townhouse is walking distance to the city pool, numerous restaurants and just five minutes from the nearest grocery store. The host provides bear spray, bug spray, a cooler, beach towels, and sunscreen for guests. An added benefit is that the bedrooms are air-conditioned, and each offers a very comfortable bed. The upper deck off of the master bedroom offers a peaceful sitting area for 6.

Absolutely Perfect Stay - Highly Recommend!

We had an incredible experience at this property! The hosts were exceptionally welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel at home, offering fantastic local recommendations that truly enhanced our trip. The location is ideal, close to everything you need yet peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed a morning cup of coffee out on the terrace. The house itself was spotless and beautifully maintained. Communication with the host was seamless and prompt, making everything from check in to check out a breeze. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, plus thoughtful extras! Every detail was carefully considered and it showed. We felt completely comfortable and cared for throughout our stay. We will absolutely be staying here again.

We had a wonderful time during our 2nd trip to Glacier National Park! This townhouse was perfect for our family of 5, with enough beds for everyone. Charlotte and Peter welcomed us upon arrival and gave us a tour, instructions, and tourist guides, if we wanted them. The whole house was fully stocked with plenty in the kitchen to make meals and have pantry essentials to use. The extra large washer and dryer were a big plus in getting laundry done before leaving for home. The location was very close to Highway 2 to get to the park main entrance and very close to a shopping area with restaurants and groceries in Columbia Falls. There wasn't anything that I didn't bring that I needed to go to the store and get, it was well stocked! Thank you again and we will surely stay here again if we come back!

Could not ask for better place and the hospitality that was shown to us by Charlotte and Pete. They had all information we needed for activities and local restaurants.

Great stay in Montana!

We had 4 adults and 1 teenager in our group so the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms were wonderful. The beds were very comfortable after long days of hiking. Very clean condo with lovely outdoors landscaping to enjoy as well at night. Charlotte and Pete are very helpful, responsive and friendly. We would definitely return here to stay. Great location being close to the Park, but also coffee shops, grocery stores, and a pharmacy we needed. Thank you Pete and Charlotte, it was a pleasure!

Awesome place!

What a wonderful property to stay in while visiting Glacier National Park! Lots of amenities and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need (even bear spray, insect repellant and sunscreen)! The owners have put a lot of effort into making sure it is a true 'home away from home'! The beds were comfortable and all linens were provided and very nice. The owners also placed brochures for local places to visit/eat/shop, etc. at your fingertips. We highly recommend staying while you explore the area!! Thank you again!!

Comfy, convenient and quiet.

In our group we had five adults and two children. From the beginning Pete and Charlotte were extremely friendly. We have been in contact since we booked our stay. They welcomed us upon our arrival and gave us plenty of kind suggestions on what to do and where to eat in the area. This house had plenty of space to accommodate all of us. The house was fully stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need! They also provided us with bear spray, umbrellas, walking sticks and even a cooler! This was extremely helpful as we flew and could not bring these things ourselves. They had Netflix, Hulu and Disney plus, which the kids really enjoyed, as well as their large game selection. The parking easily fit both of our cars. We were also 15ish minutes from the west entrance of Glacier National Park, which was the main reason for us being in Montana. I cannot recommend this place enough! The furniture and beds were comfy, which after a long day of hiking was great! We will definitely be back!

Our two senior couples from Utah agreed this was one of the best vacation rentals we have ever enjoyed! The home was immaculate, well stocked, and in a perfect central, quiet location as we launched out each day to explore Glacier National Park and the surrounding areas. Charlotte and Pete were very cheerful and helpful at every step along the way. Their suggestions for locations to visit and places to eat were spot on and we were never disappointed! We will be recommending their home to our family and friends and hope to return soon!

Great property for a group in a gray location for your visit to Gkacier. Amenities provided really make the stay so much easier. You get to pack lighter for sure! It truly is a home away from home. If ever given the opportunity to return to glacier would definitely stay here again.

Just perfect for Glacier National Park!

This house in Columbia Falls was just perfect for our family of five’s trip to Glacier National Park. It was spacious, meticulously clean and so well appointed for people coming from far away. It was easy to make the reservation, and Charlotte communicated details before and during our stay as needed. The house is located a quick 20 minute drive from the West Glacier entrance, where we went every day for great hiking. We really appreciated coming back to the house after a long day outside and being able to either cook for ourselves or go out to dinner in downtown Columbia Falls. Charlotte provided many more amenities and supplies, like bear spray and hiking sticks, use of a cooler and more. We thoroughly enjoyed the space and our trip, and we highly recommend!! P.S. if you have any energy left after spending time in Glacier, there is a nice walking path through the neighborhood.

Cozy/Relax House

Charlotte was an amazing host, going above and beyond to ensure our stay in Montana was perfect. She regularly checked in on us, making sure we had everything we needed, from helpful tips on local attractions to cozy amenities in our accommodations. Her warm hospitality made us feel truly welcome, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks to her attention to detail, we were able to fully enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the area without any worries! I would like to come back and book with Charlotte.

My family had a great time in Columbia Falls. The townhome we stayed at was beautiful. It had everything we needed and more to make our stay enjoyable. The hosts are so nice and helpful. A lot of thought has been put into what a family may need when staying at this townhome. Our daughter got married in Glacier National Park. Staying in Columbia Fall gave us easy access to a lot of fun activities. We spent our days in Big Fork, White Fish and Glacier National Park. Thank you for your hospitality !!!

This might be the best hosts on VRBO

Charlotte and Pete are simply put, the nicest people in Montana. Usually when checking in to a VRBO you're met with a cold lock box or a the mechanical wizzing of a smart lock. Not here, immediately our gracious host welcomed us with warm smiles and even hugs! When we entered the house, literature and pamphlets we spread across the dinning tables and Pete filled us in on all of the exciting things in the area including the best restaurants. Charlotte followed up with a quick tour of the house and assured us over and over again she was here to make us as comfortable as possible! They are both so sweet and want you to have the best experience possible. They even helped provide us with bear spray and a cooler for our adventures into GNP! When it was time to leave they even offered to store our bags in their garage until our next rental was available. The neighborhood is quiet and mostly new construction. The home inside is beautiful and modern but not lacking traditional charm. The beds and pillows are comfortable, they even provided us with streaming services during our stay so we could unwind at night. If given the opportunity we would not hesitate to stay again. If you are coming to GNP this is the first place you should consider.
