Come enjoy our fun little house on the Flathead River, 20 minutes from Glacier!

Adorable little 1 bedroom house in a phenomenal location! River’s Edge Cottage is located only a 20 minute drive from Glacier National Park and 10 minutes from Whitefish! Located directly across the street from River’s Edge Park on the Flathead River. This park holds 30+ acres of open space, walking trails, river access and a fishing pond stocked with Montana Brook trout (Montana fishing license required)! A short walk up the hill brings guests to Columbia Falls’ wonderful downtown shops, bakeries and restaurants, groceries, pickleball, you name it! We love this little old house and have put a lot of care and effort in making it a nice home away from home. We are so excited to share our little gem of a house with you and all it has to offer!

Prime Location

Really loved the location. Across the street from a lovely park with trail to river edge. Well groomed. Appears very safe & cleanThe house is older & has had updates but the original character is evident. Honestly we did not cook there, use the tv, or the ac. There is a nice historic street with coffee, grocery and other shops nearby. Communication with owners was prompt and clear.

Great Place to Stay

We rented to attend the music festival in Whitefish and it had everything we needed. It's small, but plenty of room if you just need a place to spend the night. Great communication and accommodation from the host when we got to town a little earlier than expected!

Great Stay in Columbia Falls

The house is perfectly sized for two people and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We used it as a base for Glacier NP, an easy 20-minute drive away. Columbia Falls has great restaurants and shops, and Whitefish is a short drive away for additional options. The city park right across the street is very impressive for such a small town. The hosts were great, we would definitely stay again.

Great little house

The house is cute and small and clean. Location is literally a 15 second walk from the big riverside park so that was a bonus. Had everything we needed and the stay was stress free and great. Just a 15 minute drive or so to the glacier entrance.

Cozy cabin, Perfect location: peaceful and convenient!

Beautiful property, perfect size for our small family to stay! Convenient and peaceful location tucked away in Columbia Falls. So many local restaurants, stores, and parks to walk or bike to…only about 20 minutes drive to Glacier Park or Kalispell. So much to do! Our hosts were very kind and responsive to any questions or concerns, and it was helpful to have some guidance from local residents.

Perfect place to stay when visiting Glacier National Park

What a great location when visiting Glacier National Park. The host was very responsive to our messages and fixing an issue that came up during our stay. We ate out twice at restaurants near the house, and they were both delicious. My other favorite part of the house is that it was right next to a big gorgeous park where you can go walk, fish at a pond if you’d like, and hang out right next to a river!

We stayed five nights while touring Glacier National Park in the daytime. 20 minutes from the west park entrance. Few highlights: fast wi-fi (key to procuring Glacier entrance passes!!), friendly and knowledgeable hosts, laundry onsite, beautiful open space park across the road on the Flathead River.
