"The property was great, it was clean and the views were beautiful. I wish there was a stand alone fan or something to pull the cool air in the evening into the house, because being on the second floor, after a hot summer day, the house is so warm. Opening the windows helped, but the lack of adequate airflow to help push the hot air out and bring the cold air in from outside was a little frustrating. Besides that, the house was lovely! "

"This location is a perfect place for base camp to the offerings Montana has to offer. You are close to the West entrance of Glacier National Park. The drive to east glacier is beautiful, and Canada and the Waterton part of Glacier is also an easy drive. The proximity to grocery stores is great, and Whitefish and the other nearby communities have everything you could want; from pastries to farmers markets. Would definitely recommend this VRBO site. The hosts are wonderful, and have lots of great recommendations as to how to best enjoy GNP."
