The property was in the perfect location between whitefish and the west entrance to the park. The hosts’ were amazing and made our stay perfect! Highly recommend
Can’t say enough about this home. My family of 5 spent 5 days and had a wonderful time. Best stocked rental I’ve ever stayed in and the owners were great and very communicative. Would definitely stay again.
Awesome views, great Hosts, well accommodated, great location. We would definitely book again. Our family of four was comfortable and did not even turn on the TV. Great vacation hub.
Wonderful location and cabin on the flathead river
Amazing hosts and a very comfortable cabin in an incredible location. The cabin is lovely with great space in the kitchen and very comfortable beds. Easy and quick access to both entry points to GNP. Will definitely go back if in that area again. The river front location is unbelievably beautiful.
We loved this property for the whole family. We spent the vast majority of the day -- dawn to dusk -- in the park, but the cabin was a perfect place to retreat at night. The views of the river from the living room, balcony, hammock and bank were a family-favorite, even though we only saw a bald eagle and some elk crossing.
Well stocked and very comfortable. Loved the location right on the river. I would come back again just to sit in the chairs along the river in the early mornings and late evenings. My kids loved the hammock in the back yard. Thanks for sharing your place with us.
We really enjoyed our stay there. We were a short ride to the west gate and after a full day at the park, this is a perfect place to wind down with million dollar views.
I cant describe how awesome our 4 days were at Glaciers Edge cabin. The wildlife, proximity to the park, feel and scenery made the stay a once in a lifetime experience.
This place was amazing, it was a great get away for my family and I to reconnect and relax!!
This property is in a great location, on the banks of the Flathead River, not far from the beautiful Glacier National Park. The kitchen was fully stocked with all upgraded features, large windows to amazing views! We will definitely be back!
This place was even more beautiful in person than the photos showed(and the photos were beautiful)!!!! The gifts and board were a very sweet surprise❤️❤️❤️❤️everything was in perfect working order and was clean and welcoming! Thank you again for a very beautiful location to stay:)
We had a fabulous stay at Tom and a Carol’s place! The property is so peaceful and beautiful. We saw bald eagles, deer, and golden eagles. We slept great, had every amenity we could need, and Tom and Carol left a kind treat for us too :-).
We highly recommend this property and owners!
Finding this listing was like winning a lottery. Everything was perfect! The location is like living in a post card. It's beautiful beyond belief! The cabin is clean and perfectly appointed (the best well stocked and clearly thought out locations I've ever booked!)
Communications with the owners were timely and accurate. My whole family loved our stay here - it was a highlight of our whole vacation. I hope to return some day as it's a little piece of paradise.
We loved our stay here! We wish we could have stayed longer. Wonderful location. Close to town, restaurants, and glacier national Park but far enough away for privacy and quiet. It was so peaceful here. Personally I was more impressed with this place than I was glacier national Park. We could have hung out at the house all day. The large picture windows make you feel like you are outside by the river when its too cold to go outside. Everything you could possibly need at this rental. Obviously a lot of thought and care has gone into this place. Highly recommend!
We wanted a place near glacier park and this was a great location. We appreciated the cleanliness of the home. Carol had everything we needed to feel right at home. The best part was the beautiful scenery out the window. It was gorgeous! She had plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We loved using the fire pit at night. We would highly recommend and loved our stay there!
Love the very nice rustic location of cabin with a wonderful view of the mountains & river, well maintained, accompanied by modern amenities & well stocked pantry. The welcome sign & gifts were a nice personal touch & greatly appreciated. The owners were very accommodating & prompt with responses. I wish my family & I could have stayed longer to really soak in this place but glad to have experienced the wonders of the Glacier National Park.
Cozy and well appointed. Photos accurately depict stunning views and proximity to the river which is only a few short steps away. The property is in a completely quiet and rural setting while maintaining convenient access to Columbia Falls unlike most other options on the Flathead as you continue going north. The hosts graciously accommodated some last minute special requests that they could have justifiably charged us for but elected not to.
Tom and Carol made the whole process easy to rent. They answered all my questions quickly.
The pictures don't do this cabin justice. The kitchen is well stocked and with newer appliances making meals was very enjoyable. The comfortable living room furniture and beds was perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring the area. It's a great place to stay away from all the crowds at Glacier yet close enough to enjoy everything in the park.
The rippling rapids outside the cabin was soothing to ones soul. The views at the cabin are absolutely beautiful!
We were able to fulfill a bucket list adventure of fishing the Flathead River. The cabin is a 5 minute drive to one of the top ranked areas to trout fish.
Thank you for sharing your cabin. Hope to return again.
Everything about this cabin & stay was absolute perfection. The location, the cabin, the hosts, the view…..I could go on & on! The cabin was one of the most well stocked homes I’ve stayed in. I’ve been renting VRBO homes for approx. 12 years now and I’m not sure I’ve ever stayed in one so well stocked with everything you possibly need; from cooking essentials, spices, binoculars, lotion, shampoo, grocery staples, you name it-seemed it was all there. The hosts are easy, friendly, & attentive. The cabin was clean & so peaceful & relaxing. And the view….nothing short of amazing. Close to everything you need. It was nothing short of perfect!!
We arrived and everything was perfect. The view is spectacular and we spent a lot of time at the end of the day on the rocking benches at the property edge. Perfect home base for Glacier National Park. Carol and Tom were so responsive and attention to every detail was already taken care of! Updated everything- high quality kitchen utensils and pots and pans, washer dryer. And, importantly, the King bed is very comfortable.
We just returned from a wonderful week long vacation at this private riverside cabin surrounded by trees. The owners were most accommodating and helpful. The cabin has all the modern amenities and was spotless. We loved the huge picture windows that make one feel like they are outside. The large deck is perfect for looking at the Flathead River and seeing deer, bear, Golden Eagles, Bald Eagles and many other water fowl. We were lucky enough to see all of these in the week we were there, while sitting on the deck with our German Shepherd. We look forward to be able to return again to this relaxing place.

About the host
Hosted by Tom and Carol Ladenburg
Our names are Tom and Carol Ladenburg. We are both native to the Flathead Valley, raised in Columbia Falls. We have four children and four grandchildren.
Why they chose this property
To us, this is a very special place. We've spent many days either fishing, swimming or floating the river. Many family gatherings have taken place here, sitting out on the deck enjoying the views, waving to passing floaters and fishermen, and seeing wildlife.
What makes this property unique
You never know what wildlife you may see. Mornings and evenings are best. We've watched wolves chase elk into the river on more than one occasion. It is a peaceful and serene place.
