2 Bedroom Cottage in Columbia Falls

Glacier Vista River Cottage is a beautiful, serene cottage that was completely remodeled and updated in 2008 yet retains a sensible country charm and privacy. GVRC is situated on 5 acres bordering the Flathead River, and the property allows access to an island accessed only through a bridge shared with one neighbor. Abundant wildlife frequents the property, which boasts 250 feet of river frontage and views into Glacier National Park. There is easy access for fishing, canoeing, or rafting while a 12x24 gazebo provides a perfect setting for picnics, sight-seeing, fishing, and much more. You can easily lose yourself on the island and it's rarely frequented game trails. Here you get a chance to experience some of Montana's land and beauty as its best.
The cottage is conveniently located in the Flathead Valley just minutes from shopping, great dining, and outdoor recreation. It is 3 minutes drive to the charming town of Columbia Falls, 10 minutes from Whitefish/Big Mountain ski resort or the city of Kalispell, 15 minutes from Glacier National Park, and 30 minutes from Bigfork/Flathead Lake. The cottage has easy and quick access to the Glacier International Airport.
The fully furnished cottage has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, front and side porches and all the necessities for a comfortable stay. A wood stove keeps the cottage warm and cozy in even the coldest winter nights, but during the summer the riverside and creekside firepits might be a better place to warm your bones!
Amenities: Master Bedroom: Queen memory foam Log Bed, walk-in closet, and direct backyard and river access.
- Second Bedroom: Queen pillow top bed and mirrored closet.
There are two beds as well as an air mattress or two with built in air pumps, and a comfortable couch. On top of that, the couch is super comfortable...it's hard not to fall asleep there! It's comfortable for 4, but a few more people can squeeze in.
Other features include:
- Wood Stove, electric heat
- 42 inch TV & extensive movie collection, stereo.
- High speed wireless Internet
- Washer, Dryer
- Barbeque/BBQ Grill, Wood Burning Grill over Bonfire pit.
- Full kitchen.
- Paved road to the house.
- Private bridge and trails on property.
- split firewood, coffee/tea, condiments, dish & clothes soap.
Please note that we are in a rural area and there is a lot of wildlife around. We have deer, rabbits, wild turkey, eagles, and even the occasional bear that can frequent the yard. A few insects may occasionally enter the home, as may be expected in any verdant environment. Keeping the doors and windows closed helps to limit this, but you can't beat fresh air. So if you are squeamish city folk, a hotel might be a better option...
I have set this cabin up as a calm and peaceful vacation retreat, with all the comforts to ensure a happy and comfortable escape from the hustle of normal life. But since my family and I can't be there all the time, I am pleased to share it with you. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I do!
GVRC is a dog friendly home. While we make every effort to minimize any impact of pets on the home, please be aware of this if allergies are a concern for you or your family. For those guests wanting to bring pets, we charge an extra cleaning fee of $75 for the first pet and $25 for each subsequent pet. It should be noted that the property is not fenced, and that dogs are not allowed on the trails in Glacier National Park.
We do have some exterior security cameras at the doors, which are only monitored when the cabin is vacant, or if there is some type of issue.
Important note for guests checking in with pets:
Please note that if you have pets the extra cleaning fee is payable prior to checking in. Pets are not allowed in the home until we receive the extra fee. Please be reminded that pets are not allowed on the trails at Glacier National Park due to the risk of bears or disturbing wildlife. Finally, remember that the property is not fenced. Please do not allow your pets in the yard unsupervised!
