After 2 weeks roughing it, Lindsey’s place was a welcome break! Very comfortable with beautiful scenery and conveniently located close to Apgar shuttle it was perfect.

We loved our stay in West Glacier! The house is very conveniently located outside of the National Park. Lindsey was very communicative and provided great local recommendations and instructions before arrival. Overall, an excellent option for staying outside of Glacier!

Lindsey’s house was perfect for our family vacation to Glacier! It is about 5 minutes from the Apgar/West Glacier entrance but still conveniently located close to the town of Columbia Falls. We enjoyed the outdoor space and beautiful views and everyone slept very well in the comfy beds. Appreciated the easy check in/out, straightforward location, and Lindsey was very responsive for any questions. Would definitely stay here again and thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous home, Lindsey!

Can’t beat the views and close proximity to Glacier National Park. Kitchen was very well equipped too. We were not sure about the small apartment above the garage, but it was not an issue at all. Its entrance and porch was on the opposite side of the main house entrance and outdoor area. Don’t let it concern you.

Beautiful place and area. A little dated, but well taken care of for the most part. Carpets are a bit dingy and dirty feeling under foot. Cleanliness I would give an 8/10. One of the rooms sheets appeared to be dirty so after Lindsey said there is another set in the closet, I did attempt to grab them down to change them, but the wrinkled appearance made me question the cleanliness of them as well. There also was a sock that came down with them, so opted to throw them back up in the closet. Wasn’t super happy about that, but know things happen with laundry.
My only true complaint is the amount of fragrance in the place. From the second you open the door it hits you. Towels, sheets and all. It’s TERRIBLE to the point my pj’s wreaked of it the next night elsewhere. So if you’re sensitive to scents, this is not the place for you.
