Glacier Getaway

This property may be the best vrbo we've ever stayed at. It was super clean, super comfortable and super quiet. The hosts were very friendly and responded immediately to all of our questions. It was in a great location surrounded by farm animals. It was also very close to Glacier so we did day trips there to hike in different areas. It was a great relaxing vacation! We would highly recommend booking this vrbo to anyone considering visiting Glacier!!!

Marni is a great host with nice and friendly attitude. The unit looks fairly new and was in perfect conditions. Three roomy bedrooms upstairs, a nice kitchen and very clean bathrooms. Nice big green yard around and a wide area with dozens of chickens and a few lovely sheep’s. Highly recommended.

Loved our stay!

We were close to Glacier and everything we wanted to do. Loved having the goats to play with and the horse on other side of the house. Marni was really helpful with ideas for restaurants and shopping. The house was clean and we were greeted with fresh baked cookies and a bottle of wine. We cant wait to come back!

We loved our stay here!! Marni was wonderful and so friendly. Her chocolate chip cookies were delicious. So peaceful and beautiful on the farm and the accommodations were spotless. The highlight for our whole family was the baby goats! They were adorable and Marni came out and let us hold them. They were so friendly and cuddly! Definitely one of our most memorable and best stays!

Glacier - Just what we needed

After a week on the road staying in hotel rooms together, this house was just what we needed. My boys each got their own rooms and we had plenty of community space. Views of the mountains from the property were beautiful and the goats and chickens were fun. The location was away from crowds, but incredibly convenient to get to Whitefish, Kalispell, Big Fork, and Glacier National Park. We loved visiting all areas. The only downside that we found was that the wi-fi seemed spotty, but most of our time was spent out and about, so not a big deal.

Fabulous and fun

Marni was an amazing host. She was there at the drop of a hat to answer questions or provide anything we needed. When we arrived, there were homemade cookies a bottle of wine and bottled water waiting for us in the refrigerator… which she kindly restart for us for the second day:). The house was incredibly clean, and well stocked! The morning we left, she took us out to meet the new baby goats and baby chicks and let us hold them! An absolutely fabulous experience and lots of fun.

Great stay in the Glacier National Park/Columbia Falls area

We had a terrific stay at Marni and Bill's place. It was within about 20 minutes of the park and a perfect place to relax after long days of hiking. Everything was new and very clean. We even got to visit with the adorable goats! Beds were super comfortable! We would stay here again if we are in the area!
