About this property
Teakettle Kottage
Little house near the center of Columbia Falls. 16 miles from the west entrance of Glacier National Park and only 35 miles to Polebridge. YOU DO NOT NEED GLACIER PARK RESERVATIONS IF you enter the park before 6:00 am or if you visit the park after 5:30 pm. Fenced yard, pets are negotiable! Off street parking. Enjoy a fire at night and barbeque to your hearts content. This quaint little home will welcome you with open arms after an exhausting day of breathtaking sights that Glacier Park has to offer. Other sleeping arrangements are available upon request. The fruit trees will be abundant with fruit around August and we suggest picking as many plums as you desire. Walking distance to eateries and local pubs for those late evenings returning from the park. Columbia Falls is located fairly close to the train tracks so expect a train to be hitting its horn at all times of the day! Please let me know if you're bringing pets! A small refundable pet deposit of $125 is required. There could be other guests on the premisis at the same time so please be friendly!
The owner works for Glacier National Park in the St. Mary district of the park so feel free to ask any questions regarding road conditions and park information.

The Kottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic! We had our bicycles which made getting around town a breeze. I would recommend to anyone that want to be close to the park without the crowds of Whitefish.
The kottage was very clean and had everything we needed! Washer/dryer was a huge plus, as we only packed carry-ons for the week. Neighborhood had some good food options and we were pretty close to the park’s West entrance. There are railroad tracks nearby that trains frequently use, but the hosts provide a box fan and a sound machine that made it easy to sleep! Great stay!
A little afraid to write a review because if more people realize what a GEM this place is, I’m afraid it’ll be unavailable when we want to book it next time! :) This week was our second time here and it’s the only place we ever want to stay in Columbia Falls! Super cute, excellent location, clean, perfect for a couple and pups. We just checked out today and are already looking at dates for next year!
We loved this little home and everything thing about it. It was the perfect size for us and we enjoyed our stay here for four nights. We washe clothes and used the heat because we had cold nights because of the cold, wet weather. It was very cozy. Our dogs loved the back yard. We recommend this little cottage to anyone looking for a place to stay. It is close enough to Glacier Park to drive and and we enjoyed the restaurants in Columbia Falls.
In town for a bike race in Whitefish and exploring Glacier. This location was perfectly situated for accessing both locations and the perfect size for 1-2 adults. Kitchen space is a little tight but can make do. And of course there is the train but you get used to it. All in all a great stay and would come back.
Teakettle Kabin was great! Very comfortable, well-provisioned kitchen (including basics like oil and spices - no more bland meals at a rental!), nice outdoor space. Quiet neighborhood but less than 10-minute walk to a full supermarket, several great restaurants and bars. Really convenient location for exploring the west side of Glacier NP and other beautiful parks and towns in the area. Ignore comments about bugs (saw grand total of one spider in 9 days) and the train (much quieter than the dryer, which was not loud), it's not the Ritz but it's really a lovely place.

Location is good and close to town but is right by the train so as long as you are not in the cottage much it is fine. The property is ok but definitely small and with a few low cost little TLC items could improve the experience. We bought hangars so the next tenants will have some! . Feels like someone is living there with leftover items in fridge and chipped dishes ietc. No dining table to eat so you need to eat out on on the sofa. Nice washer and dryer. Good communication from owner.
We found Teakettle Cottage to be very cozy for the two of us and our pup. There is a good sized yard for our dog to wander around and is fenced. Yes, there is train noise. I wore earplugs so it didn’t bother me. Otherwise neighborhood very quiet. Driving distance to Glacier is only about 20 minutes = we left between 5-6AM so we could enjoy the park before the crowds. Watch out for deer on the road on the way! Multiple restaurants only a few blocks away. Bring your own shower supplies like shampoo/conditioner as not provided. Great to have a washer/dryer as we were covered with dust due to road work/rough gravel roads in park. Air conditioning was a treat after days close to 100 degrees. Internet worked great for streaming Netflix, etc. Host very responsive.
Not what we expected. It had bugs crawling around, not a well equipped kitchen. There was no table to eat on, horrible neighborhood and we did not feel safe. The train noise was horrible and there was no mention of trains before renting. The dishes were all chipped, only 2 drinking glasses to use. There were not any luggage racks for luggage.
Silverware was dirty therefore I had to re wash the pieces before using. Needs better window coverings and a bedroom door. The only positive thing was the bed was comfortable. We need a refund! This is the first time we have not been happy with one of your rentals. Was not described correctly. We were very disappointed with this property.
We liked this place.
It’s is well located. The old signs and memorabilia from the National Forest Service is cool.
It’s cabin-like. The light was very bright in the all rooms in the morning. (This was July.). We are late sleepers, so we just used some trash bags and a little duct tape on the windows.
It is near train tracks. That didn’t bother us as we wear ear plugs and use a white noise machine.
There is a nice little porch that is a wonderful place to sit. The yard is neat and tidy.
The TV is perfectly adequate. But there is no cable, and the internet is not quite robust enough to pull FUBO or Sling. You might just have to miss that next episode of The Bachelor.
The AC is solid and was more than up to the very hot days in July.
If you drive in on Second Avenue, be aware. Not all the intersections have stop signs!
The place is supplied with a coffee maker and coffee and filters. But if your prefer your coffee as a cup of cream and sugar, you will need to bring those yourself.
Really nice place.

Great place to stay. Only 20 minutes from Glacier. It was perfect for our trip
Perfect spot for my husband and I to explore Glacier and the surrounding area. I would stay here again. Don’t miss the cherry ice cream at Farm to Table which is within walking distance from the room. Gunsight Saloon is also very cool and within walking distance.
Small cozy but had everything needed. There were even a few impressive extras, like the noise machine by the bed. I thought that was a really nice touch!
The Kottage was a perfect place for us!! My best friend and I stayed for 3 nights and it had everything we needed. Super clean and tidy, great location, check in was super easy. Highly recommend!
We had a great stay here, and the host was very flexible and allowed us to extend our stay by a day. No bugs seen as some other reviews have mentioned, and there’s some train noise but nothing unmanageable. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Really loved staying there! Could have used a couple more towels and some small glasses/wine glasses in the kitchen. Didn't know we were sharing the backyard with another cabin but it didn't become an issue. Perfect location for doing things at glacier and loved the quiet town and how walkable the location was to groceries, saloon, and park. Would definitely go back

This is a cute little place. It’s very neat, tidy, and clean. As a solo traveler with a dog, it was so nice to have a fenced in yard for my dog to enjoy. Only 15 miles from GNP and 1.5 hours from Canadian border. I would definitely recommend staying here.
