About this property

The Red Barn-Perfect GNP Base Camp. 5 Star Luxury on the farm. Clean & Comfy.

Enjoy a retreat to nature in our privately owned and managed 2-Bedroom Barn. Plan a romantic getaway or honeymoon, a couples’ adventure with friends, or family trip to Glacier National Park.
Our 2nd story loft features exceptionally high standards for convenience including luxurious Egyptian cotton sheeting, spa robes, a new oversized walk-in shower, and memory-foam, pillowtop mattresses. Furnishings are stylish yet comfortable. Hardwood floors, white marble tile, butcher block countertops and exposed beams create a warm ambiance while the space retains a light and airy atmosphere with plenty of natural light flooding in through large windows.
The open floor plan allows for sweeping views of breathtaking mountains, the surrounding farm land, and a nearby water preserve. The two acre- property is nestled on the corner next to an 800 acre, fourth-generation family farm. The Red Barn is adjacent to our home and is located off a quiet country road. From the large private deck you can enjoy excellent wildlife and bird viewing including large herds of whitetail and mule deer grazing, wild turkeys, geese, and songbirds. Swans and bald eagles frequent the area as well. The farm is also home to an occasional moose, elk, bear, fox, coyote, and mountain lion. The deck is also the best view of the beautiful mountain waterfall in addition to views of the entire Swan Mountain Range and the Badrock Canyon leading to Glacier National Park.
While tucked away next to the farm at the base of the mountain, our location has convenient, easy access to everything the Flathead Valley has to offer. Driving times to local hot spots make this the perfect lodging option:

• 15 minutes to Glacier National Park
• 20 minutes to the resort town of Whitefish
• 20 minutes to Bigfork and Flathead Lake, largest freshwater lake West of the Mississippi
• 20 minutes to the shopping and dining of Kalispell
•10 minutes to Columbia Falls, gateway to Glacier National Park
• 35 minutes to the top of Whitefish Mountain Resort
• 20 minutes to the airport

The Barn sleeps 4 in two bedrooms (1 king bed, 1 queen bed) and is prepared with everything you need including a fully-equipped kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. After a day of hiking and adventure clean up with a full-sized washer and dryer, plush linens, and an over-sized rain shower head. Settle in with a HD flat-screen TV or stream a movie while sitting next to the cozy fireplace. BBQ on the deck or just sit back with a glass of wine and soak in the alpine glow.

Key amenities include:
Large HDTV, DVD player
High-Speed wireless internet throughout home
Fully-equipped kitchen
Large kitchen island with 2-seat breakfast bar
Stainless appliances: refrigerator with filtered water and ice, 4 burner smooth top range and oven, dishwasher
Butcher block countertops and hardwood floors
Vaulted ceiling with beams
Unmatched Mountain views
Open floor plan
Dining table
Electric fireplace
Bath includes washer and dryer available for your use
Stylish décor

Wonderful stay on a beautiful farm!

We had a terrific stay at Alyson's place in Columbia Falls - it was our first visit to Montana, and we fell in love! The location is great for exploring the west side of Glacier - we spent every day in the park, and it was super easy to get to (even early in the morning). Alyson and her family were gracious hosts, and the place was perfectly appointed. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The red barn loft was an amazing place to stay while exploring Glacier National Park.

This was the best VRBO unit that we have ever stayed in and by far had the most beautiful views. We will definitely choose to stay here again if we are able to come back.

Wow, what a great place to stay!

Perfect GNP base camp

We stayed at the Red Barn for 4 days while visiting Glacier National Park. We could not have picked a better place to stay! The accommodations were very comfortable and clean and the expansive deck was perfect for watching the deer in the evenings and stargazing at night. It was an easy drive over to Glacier and the perfect place to unwind after a long day of hiking.

Beautiful mountain view

Everything about this property is outstanding. The owners provided everything you could possibly need plus fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. We enjoyed sitting on the deck every evening watching deer and turkey in the field. The last evening there were over 40 deer! It’s a perfect location to tour Glacier National Park….we highly recommend!!

Loved The Red Barn

My family and I had an amazing stay at The Red Barn. The home was located at the bottom of the mountains with a beautiful view from the back deck. Property is located in between Kalispell, Whitefish and Columbia Falls with easy access to all including Glacier National Park. The home was so well thought out down to the relaxing pillow spray next to the bed! We ordered fresh sausage, eggs and honey for breakfast and felt right at home. So glad we stayed there and would highly recommend. Just perfect!

Amazing stay in Columbia Falls!

My husband and I stayed at The Red Barn toward the end of May while visiting Glacier National Park. And to our pleasant surprise, the barn is just as it appears in the pictures on this site!! It's clean and fully stocked with everything you could want or need for your stay. The property is gorgeous as well, and the owners are really nice people. We hope that we can return soon! You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay at The Red Barn.

Fantastic Property

Absolutely spot on accurate listing for this property. It was so wonderful being in farm country, watching the deer and fawns out in the wheat fields. The nightly birds flying to a large tree next-door and the stars. The deck is perfect for an evening meal and great to sit in the morning with coffee and just take in all of God’s work. The grounds are gorgeous and the hosts very gracious. Perfect spot to visit Glacier and nearby towns.

About the host

Hosted by Alyson Dorr

Host profile image
Casey and I were both born and raised in Northwest Montana. In fact, I was raised right on the adjacent family farm. After going to college and living in Oregon, we moved home to raise our children in this idyllic setting. After 14 years as a high school English teacher I now manage the property, work as stylist and shop keeper (visit my shop Red Barn Design at Station 8 Antiques in town), and most of all-I enjoy being mom. Casey works for a technology company . We love to ski, snowshoe, kayak, bike, hike, camp, swim, boat, fish, and of course, take in the views- particularly from our back yard. Our girls are delightful and the best adventure yet. They are definitely farm girls. Next door you'll see a couple of "retired" horses the girls like to ride too. According to the reviews, our dog, Cedar, was a favorite with our guest, but sadly at almost 15-years-old, she passed away. We haven't found a new pup to replace her quite yet. We also raise chickens and a huge garden. Our daughters keep pigs on the farm too but you won't smell them!

Why they chose this property

We think the Flathead is the ideal place to live and work, and while we have both traveled extensively across the globe, no wanderlust makes us question calling this our home. As we travel, we look for unique places to stay - we believe the places and people we've met on our adventures are as important as the places we've seen. We've work hard to put that thought into the details of the Red Barn - so that your stay with us will be a part of your visit to Montana, not just a place you've slept.
We would love to invite you to be our guest. We offer to you our wonderful retreat and the inside scoop on what to do and where to go in the Flathead. We look forward to hearing from you.

What makes this property unique

Having been raised on the family farm, we built the Red Barn to incorporate all the things we love about rural Montana farm life while also maintaining luxury standards we expect when we travel. Beyond the amenities of our property, what really makes the Red Barn a unique stay is the connection to nature you will feel while you are here. In the spring and early summer you can literally hear the water plummeting from the mountain. As a frequent visitor to Glacier Park, I have continue to see more wildlife off the back deck, than on the trails in the Park. At the same time, the property has all the modern conveniences, is impeccably clean and is perfectly situated as a base camp for year-round adventures in the Flathead Valley.
