Common Questions about Vacation Rental Homes

How do I book a home?

You can either make a booking directly on this website by using the "check availability box" to the left. Or you can call our office at 406-407-1383 and a receptionist will be glad to help you.

 

Is booking online secure?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway providers database. It will only be accessible by those authorized with special rights to such systems. They are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.

 

Can I bring my pet with me? Is Glacier National Park a pet friendly park?

Our rentals are not pet friendly homes or cabins. Please consider leaving your four legged family member at home when traveling to Glacier National Park. Glacier National Park has many rules regarding pets in the park. Please note: pets are not allowed on the trails inside Glacier Natioanl Park. You can either look at our properties online by clicking on the "vacation rentals" tab above and see if the home you are looking at allows pets. Or you can call our office at 406-407-1383 and a receptionist would love to help find a home that is just right for you and your pet. We highly recommend Glacier Bark Kennels 406-314-8106 in Columbia Falls should you choice to bring your pet with you. Glacier National Park is NOT a pet friendly park. Pets are not allowed on trails inside the park.

 

What are the benefits of a vacation home rental?

Our vacation homes are stocked in such a way that you always feel like you are coming "home" to your "vacation home" rather than returning to a small hotel room. Our homes have full kitchens or kitchenettes, with some homes having game rooms, hot tubs and BBQ grills. You will be able to enjoy a full service home while you are on vacation rather than a small, cramped hotel room.
