About The Owner

My husband and I were married right here in Columbia Falls 35+ years ago and have enjoyed living in the Flathead Valley ever since. We have helped build ourselves four different homes throughout our life together and have raised a family of four. We are now enjoying some quieter time...just the two of us. We are both entrepreneurs so we thought we would try another new adventure! We traveled to another state recently and enjoyed staying at a private vacation rental home with some of our grown children and grandchildren. We really enjoyed it and thought it certainly would be nice to offer the same services to someone visiting our area. It really made a big difference for us instead of us all staying in separate motel rooms.

The Owner purchased this house in 2002

Skiing in Whitefish-Staying in Columbia Falls

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jan 4, 2013
  • Stayed: Dec 2012
This property that we rented was exactly what the pictures and the description made it out to be. The quality of the furniture, bedding, appliances and overall functionality was more than ideal. Our party consisted of 8 people in their late 20's and early 30's and all of us were really pleased with the rental property. If I really had to come up with a complaint about the property it would have to be that it is about 25 miniutes to the ski hill, but to my party and I it was not an issue at all and if it had a hot tub the property would be 10 stars!! We went to a function in White Fish for New Years and we worried about transportation to and from White Fish as we did not want to drive, we rented a cab that was able to take us to White Fish and which ended up costing 5 dollars a person!! I would definitely recommend the rental to anyone who wants to explore in and around glacier national park, skiing or a nice getaway! The owners were more than accomdating and were very responsive in all questions and concerns. I did not have to wait very long for the damage deposit, this was my first experience with VBRO and I hope they are all this great!

Absolutely Fantastic

We stayed here while on a ski holiday over Christmas. What a great place! There were 8 adults, young and old and this place fit us all very comfortably. For those who are looking for clean, this is your place! It is immaculate and very nicely decorated! It has everything you need, and then some; even sandwich bags! The beds are very comfortable too. For those concerned with the location to Whitefish, don't let this be a problem. It is a 10 minute easy drive. We would highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again!

12 Thumbs Up!

Review #5609087 "12 Thumbs Up!"

We were three couples from Southern Indiana looking for a cool escape from the summer heat and we found it in Columbia Falls, Montana. It has been our practice to rent homes when we travel and we chose Riverside Retreat after viewing it on the internet. We could not have picked a better place to celebrate the 4th of July. Riverside Retreat is by far the best appointed VRBO we have encountered. Normally, VRBOs are stocked with starter supplies and, as you run out, you purchase more. Not so with Riverside. This beautiful and comfortable home had everything (except food, of course) we were going to need for our entire stay, right down to the fabric softener! We even had use of the computer. Randy and Dixie were just an e-mail away and always quick to respond to any of our questions. But Riverside Retreat wasn't our only surprise. There was Glacier. Glacier National Park is breathtakingly beautiful with waterfalls everywhere. We saw soaring eagles, bear cubs playing on a hillside, goats sunning themselves along the rocky slopes and a moose loping down the middle of a park road with a parade of cars behind her. We traveled the Going-to-the-Sun Road and walked in the snow. Lake McDonald Lodge provided us with a crackling fireplace to warm ourselves by on one unusually cool afternoon. We had brunch at Loula's in Whitefish and gourmet sandwiches and pizzas at Jammer Joe's. Our only disappointment (oops, forgot about our regretable dinner at the The Nite Owl) was when we had to board that plane to start our journey home. When we return to Glacier we hope to have a repeat our wonderful experiences, beginning with another stay at Riverside Retreat.

Owner's Response: Thank you, Laura, for all your hard work on this FANTASTIC review. I absolutely love the "12 Thumbs Up"! It makes my husband and I feel so good to see how our guests love their time here. We do all the cleaning, stocking, etc., ourselves and are very, very meticulous about everything. We endeavor to make Riverside Retreat as perfect as possible for our guests. We will be looking forward to your return visit!

Glacier Vacation

  • Submitted: Sep 25, 2012
  • Stayed: Aug 2012
My wife and I just completed our stay at this wonderful home in Columbia Falls. The Riverside Retreat was a fantastic place call home for the week we were in Montana. The home is beautifuly decorated and furnished with much more than you will need to make your stay complete. Kathy even commented while there it felt like she was staying in a home just like her mother mother's, decorated to the hilt, even the kitchen had absolutly every thing you will need to eat every meal at home. Just shop for groceries and all the spices, pots, pans, and utinsels are at your finger tips. We rent homes quite often and this one was the best of the best, every accomidation you think you might ever need is there. When we were leaving we were asking ourselves why we ever subject ourselves to the hotels with their noise filled halls and the maids banging on the doors first thing in the morning. If you elect to stay at the Riverside Retreat you find the accomodations excellent for for a couple or a large family. We give it 5 stars and will stay with them again on our next visit to Montana.

Fantastic Property!!

My husband and I are avid VRBO and Home Away vactioners. Every trip we have taken from Hawaii to St. Croix to Cape San Blas, etc. we always rent via one of these sights. This is by far the nicest, most well maintained, stocked and equipped home we have ever rented. It is in the perfect location for everything in the area. We spent several days exploring Glacier and rode horses at Many Glacier. We took a day trip to the National Bison Refuge and a side trip to Kerr Dam. Both of those places were really neat. We went to Markel Pottery Studio and met Robert Markel. He enjoyed sharing his art with us and I brought home a beautiful pitcher. One day we floated the Swan River and I experienced fly fishing for the first time. This area is so beautiful that words cannot describe all there is to do and see. Any direction you travel will lead to something beautiful. I strongly recommend a trip to this area and a stay in this lovely home.
