"Very very hospitable staff. I needed ear phones and one of their best staff CloudU gave me his personal ones. 100% recommend this hotel for stay."

Vibrant family run 2-bedroom condo in Columbia Falls

10/10 Excellent

"This is such a cute little condo and a perfect place to rest and regroup for the next day in glacier national Park. It is extremely clean and seems to be almost brand new. Living room has a very comfortable pullout couch and is actually a very comfortable place to sleep! Great home base for our adventures in Glacier National Park and we would happily stay here again next time we come! Our host went above and beyond to help us with some of our needs. And as one other reviewer mentions, they have bear spray for you to use, which is so helpful since bear spray is required in the park. (And runs 50 per can of spray!) Thank you for letting us stay at your place!"

Cozy cabin on the wild & scenic North Fork of Flathead River near Glacier Park

10/10 Excellent

"The Cozy Cabin By the River was truly a piece of heaven!!! This was more than a cabin--actually a 2-bedroom house that was fully furnished and on a beautiful riverside location with Glacier National Park on the other side of the Flathead river. The view was fantastic and the peaceful setting was so relaxing--the only sounds we could hear were the babbling river running over the rocks. We enjoy a daily fly-by with young eagles, and we did see some wildlife--a young elk and several whitetail does and bucks. The cabin is conveniently located just 8 miles outside of Columbia Falls and only 7 miles away from the west entrance to Glacier National Park. Tom and Carol are outstanding hosts--we hope to visit their cabin again in the future! We highly recommend anyone to stay at the Cozy Cabin By the River!"
