Worth the stay!!

Our stay at this property was nothing short of perfect. The location is close to downtown Columbia Falls and a short 20-minute drive to West Glacier entrance. The property is SPOTLESS, and that includes the outdoor area. It is on a quiet farm and we even saw deer many times while looking out onto the green farmland. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies and we used it many evenings and mornings between our park visits. The bed was perfect. I cannot overstate how comfortable our stay was. Book now, you won't be sorry!!

Can’t say enough GOOD things!

What an amazing space, in an incredible setting! Do not let the simplicity of this space fool you — this listing has a lot to offer! You will fall in love as soon as you pull into the driveway due to the unobstructed mountain views. Upon entering intro the space, you’ll feel right at home with the very calming aesthetics and the spacious living area. High valued ceilings, all the amenities, and the most amazing sheets and comfortable beds made us already looking forward to coming back. Thanks Sarah and Clay for creating a thoughtful and relaxing space for our family to stay when we’re in the Flathead Valley!

Best Vrbo EVER!

Everything about this place was perfect! It is decently priced for the quality of the accommodations and location. The view is stunning and the house itself is beautiful but still cozy. The host is sweet and helpful beyond what she has to be and gave us some great recommendations for places to eat. She even searched for a beanie that my son lost after we left. I was born and raised in Columbia Falls but it had been 30 years since I had been back home. This was my husband and children's first time to the area. We couldn't have chosen a more special place! There was no detail missed when the owners designed and furnished this place!

Dreamy and serene with a view of the mountains

Sarah and Clay's place is just perfect! It was spotlessly clean and very roomy and comfortable. Has everything you would need to cook or prep food for a day at the park. We were about 20 mins from the entrance of GNP, and about 15 mins from Whitefish. Loved the location because we got to experience both places and then had a quiet and beautiful place to relax at the end of the day. The views at this home are amazing and it was really peaceful. We are already hoping to return and bring our kids next time!

Big Black Barn, Outstanding Property!

This property is super clean, well- built and the owners are very responsive. It is very nice to be out in the country, but very close to Whitefish, Glacier Park and many other attractions. The decor is so nice, and it feels like a brand new custom home. Importantly, anything you need is provided, laundry, kitchen supplies and even a snack basket. I highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah

My husband and I grew up in the Flathead Valley and feel very fortunate that we have been able to call such a beautiful place home! We are a “husband & wife” team and have been designing and building custom homes for 25 years! It has been a dream of ours to build a huge barndominium surrounded by farmland and mountains! We have put our hearts into every detail of the Big Black Barn and are so excited to share this dream with others!

We also enjoy kayaking, rafting, and paddle boarding on beautiful lakes that surround the valley! We love cooking together and gardening!

We look forward to hosting you!

- Sarah & Clay

Why they chose this property

We love the huge mountains that surround us and the beautiful farmland, wildflowers, sunsets, the heard of elk that loves to roam here, deer, and birds! Blue skies and the quiet countryside.

What makes this property unique

The Big Black Barn is just so cool! I’m a designer and decorator and my husband is an amazing builder! Together we have created a wonderful place for guests to relax and enjoy! We pay attention to every detail and this home is beautiful and immaculate! This place and the scenery is very special.
