All around peaceful and pleasant stay
We truly enjoyed our stay in the Ponderosa cabin. Jenna was there to greet us when we arrived. She was so helpful to us for our entire stay. We loved the "camping with comfort" feel. A full kitchen is located in the same building as the bathrooms, where we were able to wash our dishes. There are many items in the shared kitchen for guests to use. I missed this detail in the description, so I wanted to emphasize this positive feature. Also, the washer and dryer are located in that same building and are very nice...well worth the fee it costs to use them.
My adult children played with their 12 year old sister as if they were all the same age in the ponds and on the property. They had a ball! We loved making new memories together! We hope to visit again sometime in the future!

Gorgeous Views and Convenient
We are a family of four that traveled to Glacier for the first time. The cabin was the perfect place to relax after time on the road. All beds were comfortable and the cabin itself was clean. The trail that leads to the bathrooms was lit and easy at night. We loved the location with easy and quick access to the park and nearby town.

Just Not Our Thing
This property advertised accurately. It was clean. We know we would need to use a community bathroom but didn't realize how problematic that would be for us. It's just not our thing. Also, it was weird that they had dishes but no sink to wash them in. So you had to carry a bucket full of dirty dishes over to the community room kitchen to wash your dishes. We did appreciate the bottled water for drinking and the availability for our pup to be with us and to run free on the beautiful property. Lesson learned. No more cabins without bathrooms fus.

Great place to stay
This was an excellent stay. A lot of activities on the property that are free and easily accessible to guest (cornhole, badminton, volleyball, fishing, fire pit, paddleboarding, and nice grill). Hosts were great. Very responsive and super friendly. Stay was in a beautiful location about 30 minutes from the west side of glacier national park.

Fun
The people who were there seemed to really enjoy it but it probably isn’t for everyone. Think more hotel room with no bathroom. I can’t imagine telling children that have to make a nature call at night to walk the 25-50 yards. Cooking is kind of strange also if a bunch of people want to eat at the same time. That said, I liked it and the owner was really nice.

Beautiful land with charming cabins, nice bathhouse and laundry. Small lake/pond with kayak and SUP. Beautiful sunset with mountains behind, bonfire in the evening. Highly recommend! We did not get a welcome email we were supposed to get, but once we got there the hosts were available and accomodating.

Wonderful Accomodation! Will Stay Here Again!
Well priced, clean, quaint, quiet property that is convenient to Glacier National Park, Kalispell, Whitefish, and Flathead Lake. Columbia Falls offers everything you might need for your trip. Restaurants, gas, groceries. Excellent property if you are bringing a dog. Friendly helpful family owners. You can do some cooking with the electric fry pan, toaster, microwave and outdoor grill. calming to sit on the porch drinking your morning coffee! So glad we picked this place to stay!
