What our guests say

Real Stays. Real Reviews.

The location was great, at night we could star gaze as well from the windows. House was full of amenities for both adults and kids. Very comfortable and cozy. Highly recommend!

Sarvesh, Airbnb

This was a lovely townhome. Very spacious and had everything you need. The fireplace really puts out heat and warms the whole room. Very clean and   it was great to have the jacuzzi. Beautiful golf course and deer everyday.

Sandy, Airbnb

This stay was incredible! The home with all of the exotic heads and large logs made it just spectacular!! We loved spending time in the water and the paddle board and kayaks they provided were great. Such a special get away on a gorgeous lake!

Frequently asked questions

What happens before I arrive?

After you book, you will get two links. One is a quick pre-arrival form with guest names and a photo ID. The other is the rental agreement. Your check-in instructions are sent once both are done, so knock them out early.

How far are your homes from Glacier National Park?

It depends on the home. Some are a short drive from the west entrance and others put you right in downtown Kalispell or Whitefish. Every home page lists its drive times.

Do you allow pets?

Some of our homes are pet friendly and some are not. Before you book, check the home's page to see if it welcomes pets. Not sure which home is the best fit for your four-legged travel buddy? Give us a call and we will help you find one.

What comes with the home?

Every home is a little different, but most come stocked with family games, cards, kids books, basic cooking supplies, fire starters, play pens, and plenty more. Each home page lists its amenities. Need something specific for your stay? Just ask! We are happy to help within reason.

What is your cancellation policy?

It depends on how you booked. Reservations made directly with us and reservations made through online travel agencies (OTAs) like Airbnb and VRBO can follow different cancellation policies, and those policies can even differ from one OTA to the next. Give us a call at 406-890-0502 and we will walk you through exactly how it works for your stay.

Can I check in early or check out late?

Sometimes. Ask us when you book and we will check what the home's schedule allows.

Do you offer discounts for longer stays?

Yes! Stay 7 nights or more and a long-stay discount is applied automatically. No code needed. A longer stay means more time to explore the park, the lakes, and the small towns without rushing, and it is a great fit for remote work or a slow family visit. Planning a month or more? Give us a call and we can help you find the right home.

What if something goes wrong during my stay?

Call or text our local team at 406-890-0502. We live here, and we will work to fix it fast.
