Grinnell Glacier and its lakes seen from the overlook trail in Glacier National Park, Montana

Montana

Glacier out the window, the ski hill up the road, and rivers everywhere.

Montana

Our Montana homes are spread across the Flathead Valley: three in and around Whitefish, one in Columbia Falls, the closest town to Glacier's west side, and a cabin on the Stillwater River in Olney.

Glacier National Park covers more than a million acres. Whitefish Mountain Resort sits above town, and Chasing Powder and Winter Lane are on the mountain itself.

Three towns at the edge of Glacier.

The homes in Montana.

Every one is stocked before you arrive and looked after by people who know it. Book direct on each home's page.

What to do while you're here.

A few of the things we send guests to first. Ask us for the rest when you book.

Going-to-the-Sun Road

Glacier's famous drive over Logan Pass and the Continental Divide. Check the park's reservation rules before a summer visit.

Avalanche Lake

A moderate 4.5-mile round trip through cedar forest to a turquoise lake below the peaks.

Trail of the Cedars

A flat, accessible boardwalk loop through old cedar forest, with a footbridge over Avalanche Gorge.

Whitefish Mountain Resort

Skiing in winter; zip lines, alpine slides and a climbing tower in summer. Lunch at the Summit House looks toward Glacier.

Downtown Whitefish

Breakfast at the Buffalo Café, family-owned since 1979, coffee from Montana Coffee Traders, and dinner at Tupelo Grille.

The North Fork to Polebridge

A quieter, partly gravel road along Glacier's western edge to the Polebridge Mercantile.

Huckleberries

The Huckleberry Patch in Hungry Horse, a historic huckleberry cannery with ice cream, taffy and pie.

Flathead Lake

An easy drive down the west shore on the Flathead Lake Scenic Byway.

Do we need a reservation for Going-to-the-Sun Road?

Can we bring our dog?

Glacier Getaway welcomes one dog. Our other Montana homes don't take pets.
