About this property

Getaway to Whitefish this Summer! Beautiful Montana Log Cabin Home with Stunning Forested Views!

DETAILS: Nestled in the serene, forested neighborhood of Columbia Falls, Après Chalet is the quintessential Montana retreat with picturesque Meadow Lake Golf Course views and its private hot tub. This stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom log cabin comfortably accommodates up to 11 guests, making it an ideal getaway for modest gatherings. Located only 30 minutes from the exhilarating ski slopes with a convenient grocery store nearby, Après Chalet promises both adventure and ease.

Upon entering this traditional 2-story cabin, guests are immediately enveloped in a warm, welcoming embrace, with exposed wood beams and lodge-like finishing. The open living area, a testament to comfort and relaxation, features a crackling wood-burning fireplace and plush leather furnishings that invite guests to unwind in style. Adjacent to the cozy living area, a robust dining table seats 6, while the inviting kitchen features a welcoming breakfast bar with seating for 5 more. The kitchen's appeal is magnified by the striking contrast of pristine white cabinetry set against the cabin's natural wood; with its double sinks and high-end appliances, it's designed to transform meal preparation from a mundane task into an enjoyable experience. A short journey down the hallway reveals a quaint guest bedroom, where a queen bed awaits beneath the soft glow of a 50” TV. Situated at the hallway's end, the laundry room features a washer and dryer and offers backyard access, where a bench and hooks create an ideal area for shedding wet ski or fishing gear. From the living area, guests can venture into the backyard, which boasts a spacious deck adorned with patio furniture and string lights, complemented by a BBQ grill for outdoor entertainment.

An open loft area with a cozy twin daybed can be found upstairs, perfect for extra accommodations or a reading nook. A second living area beckons with its array of games and books centered around a 65” TV and access to the second-floor deck. The crown jewel of the upper level is the primary bedroom, also with private access to the deck, boasting a king bed, 70” TV, and a private bathroom with a soaking tub. A bunk room with a triple level queen bunk bed finishes this floor.

Après Chalet stands as a beacon of comfort and luxury nestled in the heart of Columbia Fall's natural splendor. With on-site parking, it’s easy to explore the surrounding area, including a quick 15-minute drive to downtown Whitefish and a scenic 30-minute drive to Glacier National Park.

Glacier Park International Airport is only about 15 minutes away so getting here is easy!

Amazingly Beautiful!!
What a gorgeous warm cozy home!! Loved coming back to “Apres” after a long days hike. The kids enjoyed the games and books. The beds were SO comfortable!! We loved all the tasteful furniture and cozy atmosphere. Everything you could possibly want or need was included and so close to everything. Would definitely recommend this Stunning home for guests arriving in this area.

Glacier Getaway
We had a wonderful stay! The Apres Chalet felt like we were staying at a friends’ home instead of a rental. The house provided us a great home away while we explored Glacier National Park.

Apres Chalet is remarkable!
Our stay at the Apres Chalet was one for the books. It was authentic, comfortable and extremely convenient to everything we did in Columbia Falls, Whitefish and Glacier National Park. We will most certainly be back and look forward to many more memories to be made in this priceless, hidden treasure.

Quintessential Montana Vacation Destination!!!
Simply amazing! The Aprés Chalet was absolutely perfect for our friends and family vacation to Glacier National Park and surrounding area. The house was a great location to the park and all activities....hiking, rafting, Whitefish, Kalispell, skiing...... and the rental is close to the Kalispell airport.......you couldn't ask for a better spot! The chalet is beautifully decorated, an authentic log cabin, styled in a comfortable western theme, perfect for getting you in the Montana state-of-mind. It is well-appointed with all the necessary comforts you will need for your stay. The kitchen is fully stocked, with every item necessary for preparing meals at home. They even have 3 types of coffeepots - regular drip, Keurig and Nespresso Vertuo!! The outdoor decks are lovely for relaxing, reading a book or enjoying a meal. Yard games are available for group fun - our family loved playing cross-net and corn hole. The fire pit is wonderful for evenings around a bonfire, and the night sky full of stars is breathtaking. The yard is a beautifully wooden spot, secluded for privacy and you will certainly enjoy a visit by a deer or two while you are there. We had excellent communication with the property manager. She was very responsive and was happy to give us recommendations and suggestions for our visit. The homeowner even offers the additional option of renting their SUV which is clean and safe. The Aprés Chalet is on the top of our VRBO rentals. Book this home now. You won't regret it.

Amazing property and area
Cabin was everything advertised and more. Close to GNP, airport and Whitefish. Easy to get around. Columbia Falls offers quaint places to eat and a great rodeo experience. GNP is a hiker’s paradise. Cabin was perfect for a family vacation. Could have fit more but we had only 5. Very clean and cozy. Deer were there almost daily. Owners have outfitted the cabin with care. Spacious kitchen and outside deck areas. We plan on going back!

Fabulous House near Glacier
We had a great stay at this home. It was really close to everything we wanted - Flathead Lake, Glacier, Kalispell. The house was fun, functional, and really comfortable. The deck is magical and we lived out there much of our stay. The manager was very responsive and easy to work with. We ended up needing to lengthen our stay and it couldn’t have been easier. The only complaint was that it was a surprisingly noisy neighborhood. The train tracks are a few miles away which is far enough so that the sound of its horn was a quaint touch during the day, but loud at night for light sleepers. And the road in front of the house is surprisingly loud. That said, I would definitely recommend this house and would stay here again. The comfort and cozy touches throughout and the convenient location more than make up for a bit of noise.

My first trip to Montana
I Love this cabin! The details are amazing. The house is so cozy and yet there is plenty of room to spread out. We had beautiful weather and we loved all the outdoor areas that let us appreciate it and sit back and relax (with a glass of wine or two;) RELAX! I can’t say it enough. We all slept like babies in the comfortable beds and enjoyed just hanging out at the house. It was easy to make meals in the well stocked kitchen and plenty of seating for our group. We felt like we were in the middle of nowhere yet we were close to everything… Glacier National Park, Kalispell airport, Whitefish (my favorite-cute shops and delicious restaurants) and Columbia Falls is just a 5 minute drive to great restaurants and antique shops. I can’t wait to go back and experience snow and skiing (which is just a few minutes away).

Perfect vacation
We cannot say enough about this place. Its a true log cabin with more charm than we could’ve imagined. A few things we didnt get from listing that were wonderful for us is the kitchen is huge (and two full sinks!), there are 2 living areas w lots of seating which was ideal for 2 families with kids/teens and the beds are super comfortable. The mattresses and bedding. The location couldnt have been more convenient. We skied, went to GNP, spent time in Whitefish and quaint Columbia Falls. We cant wait to come back and already have friends we referred that are coming! And Jennie was super from first email through checkout.

The best winter trip!
From the moment we pulled into the drive we were overwhelmed by the beauty and charm of this roomy yet so cozy house! The house is beautifully decorated and captures the charm and feel of a cozy cabin with all of the space and creature comforts we could ever need. The house was immaculately clean, and there was never a time when any of us felt like we were missing something we would have had at home. No detail has been missed. Nestled in a neighborhood and so close to everything, the way the house sits on the property makes you feel like you are secluded and offers a lot of privacy. We enjoyed the out door fire pit and made coffee over it and roasted smores. We can't wait to come back in the summer and enjoy the big decks and summer days. Our drives to Glacier National Park and Whitefish Mountain were quick and easy. The airport is 10 minutes away. It couldn't have been any easier or more beautiful. So glad we found the Apres Chalet! We can't recommend this home enough and can't wait to go back!
