Jaybird’s

This location was perfect for a trip to GNPark since it is only a few minutes away. It was really nice to sit on the porch and listen to the nearby stream. The beds were quite comfortable. We had everything we needed making this a great stay.

We booked Jaybird's for 4 of us for a 3 night visit while visiting Glacier Park and wish we could stay longer to enjoy the house and tranquility. Its location is beautiful and had everything we needed. This charming house feels very cozy and is surrounded with trees, beautiful flowers, outdoor swings, etc. Wish we had more time to stay.

Everything was great. Thank you very much!

This was a perfect property for our family of 5. I wouldn’t change a thing. I would definitely attempt to book this location again. The distance from GNP is ideal. We enjoyed the grill and firepit every night. The kitchen was stocked with supplies and the appliances appeared new. The home was well cared for and clean. It had a cozy cabin feel with modern conveniences. The property itself is beautiful and spacious. We loved the privacy of the Homestead. We were concerned about no AC since it was going to be a hot week but the temperature inside was perfect. Doyle was a great host! Thanks for a memorable vacation.

This is a wonderful place. Easy to find within 15 minutes of Glacier Park. The home has comfortable beds and baths are great! Kitchen, dining, living space were all excellent. We were able to sit out in the evenings on the patio and by the fire pit. Definitely a favorite.

Photos can't fully show how wonderful this place is. Clean, carefully maintained and family friendly. Relaxing atmosphere with a great blend of modern convenience and old-time Montana feel. Quiet, comfortable, and close to so much. Nicely appointed kitchen, we lacked for nothing. We will definitely be back!

Exactly as described, quiet mountain retreat with easy access to Glacier National Park. Super easy check in and great communication. House had everything we needed for our stay.

Jaybird's is a lovely property in a quiet setting within easy distance of Glacier Park. It was really a peaceful country retreat.

Jaybird's is a wonderful place to stay. It was very quiet. I would highly recommend staying here when visiting Glacier Park.

Everything about this property is wonderful. Jaybird's is the perfect place for a family gathering.

Beautiful house in the middle of the woods. Equipped with everything that a group of traveling people need. Clean and cozy. We loved preparing our suppers on the outside grill. Highly recommending for groups of up to 8 people.

We wish we could have stayed longer! The pictures don't do the house or property justice. It is such a beautiful place to stay and the location was perfect for visiting Glacier National Park.

Peaceful setting. Cleanest rental I've ever seen. Beds were comfortable and showers had great pressure. Highly recommend Jaybird's.

This is private and peaceful property! We loved the ease of check-in -- proximity to the park and town. Jaybird's was spacious and comfortable. Property is quiet and peaceful.

The perfect location and property for our annual spring trip to ride GTTS road in Glacier Park. A picturesque, quiet setting with everything we need. Our host was wonderful. We will be back!

Enjoyed our stay very much. Bonfires were spectacular with big sky at night.

Jaybird's is conveniently located next to GNP. It is also a short drive to Whitefish for shopping and dining. We stayed during the shoulder season which was beautiful.

Jaybird's is cute, cozy and clean set among the trees. We had such an enjoyable stay that my sister declared that she would like to stay for a month. I would definitely recommend!

Jaybird's is close to the West Entrance of GNP. The kitchen was very well-stocked (spices, ziploc bags, crock pot, etc.). Doyle was very responsive to our needs.

Seven days of fun in nature. Highly recommend!

The house worked well for our group of four people. The kitchen was stocked very well for meal prep with plenty of pots, pans, dishes...for us. The property was about a10 minute drive to the main Apgar entrance to GNP. Great property and location.

Jaybird's is a quiet, peaceful home perfect for day trips to Glacier Park.

We enjoyed this quiet location!

We loved everything about our stay here. We will ABSOLUTELY be back! None of us, including our teens, wanted to leave. Thank you, Doyle, for making our Glacier trip a memorable one!

Jaybird's is surrounded by trees and nature. There are other houses around but it still feels as though you are secluded. The house was perfect for our family of four and the kids enjoyed the swings and rope outside. Glacier National Park is not far at all from and is easy to get to. Doyle was an amazing host. We would absolutely stay again!

It's a lovely place with all amenities. Definitely recommend especially if you want to stay close to the Park.

Very nicely updated property in the woods. Lovely flowers. Well equipped kitchen. Fire pit and gas BBQ. Great lighting inside. Easy access to Glacier National Park (it was crowded there) 4 yo grandson loved the swing!

Slept better than I have in months! So peaceful, so clean, so convenient to Glacier. Highly recommend!

Jaybird's was very comfortable and it's a great location for Glacier Park. I would definitely stay again.

Jaybird's was a great place for our family - it was close to Glacier and other sights. The house had everything we needed and then some. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook. There were extra towels, blankets and pillows and much more! We enjoyed exploring the property - the kids loved playing in the creek and staying in rural Montana. We highly recommend Jaybird's!

The stay here was fantastic! We had a great time and enjoyed taking walks around the property and swinging on the swings in the yard. The proximity to Glacier NP was great and we truly enjoyed our time there. The host, Doyle, was great and extremely helpful. Thank-you for making this our trip of a lifetime complete!!

This is a great home... the location is great, close to Glacier National Park and town.... nestled in the woods. It's very quiet and peaceful... nice room to roam... The first thing we noticed in the home was how clean it was... we rent several times a year from VRBO and this home was super clean!. Great bedding and towels... the kitchen is stocked nicely with everything you need ... if your heading to this area, i would highly recommend this home as a place for base camp !

Everything was fantastic and our stay was beautiful!

The property is in a beautiful location, and centrally located to Glacier National Park and shopping only a few miles away. Charming, peaceful and quite.

The location of Jaybirds is great. It’s in a quiet neighborhood about 15 minutes or less from The west entrance of Glacier, and it’s easy to get to towns like Whitefish from here. There are 7 homes on the property that are fairly close to each other, but it was still very quiet and peaceful. Doyle was super easy to work with, and the check in and check out process truly couldn’t be any simpler.

Couldn't be more happy: super-clean property, nothing broken, thoughtfully furnished with everything we could ever think we'd need. Close to the Park entrance, and QUIET. We can't wait to come back.

Good communication/ beautiful property!! Clean, quiet, cozy ..we loved it

Clean, spacious, close enough to west glacier park entrance. Overall a nice place to stay. Hot water showers were nice. One of the bed comforters smelled a damp but otherwise a great place to stay. I recommend

We loved staying here. Doyle is very prompt and helpful with responses. Place is exactly as described and in photos. Clean and had everything you need, including bear spray! 10 minutes from west glacier entrance.

We loved our stay and didn’t want to leave. The property is clean, well maintained & has a neat history. It is fully stocked and the owners are very accommodating and quick to respond. The location to Glacier National Park is perfect!! 10-15 minutes during peak season. We would 100% love to return and definitely recommend this property!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

We enjoyed our stay and the area was peaceful. Quick drive to the park and towns! We would love to stay here again.

We spent two days at Glacier Park. About 15 minutes to the park. We loved coming back to the house and relaxing. We visited the creek and cooked all our meals. The house was spacious and the patio was beautiful. We grilled every night.

We loved our week at Jaybirds! It was clean, plenty big for a family of 4, had everything we needed, and was the perfect location for exploring Glacier Natl Park. Communication with the owners was the best we’ve experienced with VRBO. The key things to keep in mind: - no TV. Bring books and board games and spend time in the great outdoors! - strong and consistent WiFi - no A/C. We visited during a heat wave with temps at 100, and we live in Oklahoma where the A/C runs 8 months a year. We were afraid we’d be miserable, but it was truly very comfortable. There’s no humidity and the towering pines keep the house shaded. If we ever have the luxury of visiting this area again we’d love another stay at Jaybirds! It felt like “home!”

This was a perfect property for our family of 5. I wouldn’t change a thing. I would definitely attempt to book this location again. The distance from GNP is ideal. We enjoyed the grill and firepit every night. The kitchen was stocked with supplies and the appliances appeared new. The home was well cared for and clean.

Great location off the beaten path just far enough :). It was great to sit out by the fire pit and cook sausages and s’mores. We easily were able to go to Glacier National Park all 3 days. We would definitely recommend this cozy cottage in the woods. A far cry from the concrete jungle of So Cal.

Clean, well maintained and close to Glacier

Kids loved the creek and wooden bridge. Kids loved swing set and rope climb. Washer/dryer great! Maybe could have used some AC.

This was a perfect house close to Glacier. Very quiet and peaceful!! Plenty of space to spread out inside and outside. Cooked a couple nights and the kitchen had everything we needed. The grill worked great. The beds were comfortable after long days in Glacier. Overall great place to stay and hoping we can come back again!!

Our family of five stayed in this lovely property in order to enjoy Glacier National Park and the surrounding area. The location was ideal, as it is very close to the park and nearby lakes for recreation. The house great and served our needs perfectly. Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Jaybird. It was perfect for our family, kids loved playing on the swing set and hanging out down by the creek.

This is a wonderful property in a perfect location for visiting Glacier National Park. It has a rustic charm that we all loved! Doyle was readily available to answer questions and overall we had an awesome visit!

Perfect location for visiting Glacier. Incredible close to the park whole still being very remote and secluded. Our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed the large kitchen and cooking amenities allowed us to make our own meals every night.

Fun place to stay. Newly remodeled and perfect for a group. Loved the outdoor setting, especially the fire pit and the creek. Nice!

Great location, 10 minutes from the West Glacier visitors center.

Very nice, clean, private home. We enjoyed our stay.

I wanted to thank you for making our vacation one to remember. For our family this was a 10/10, you have nailed it.

Our 4 day stay at Jaybirds was a delight. We could not have wished for a more home away from home. It was very clean, well equipped & comfortable and in a beautiful setting.
Doyle was very responsive to our questions prior to arrival and it was a pleasure to meet him in person. If you are visiting the area, please consider Abbott Valley Homestead for your stay..... you won't be disappointed'
Thanks again for everything,

Darryl and family.

We enjoyed our stay at Jaybirds. While we only stayed one night, we
loved the setting of the homestead. It was clean and quiet. We
thought it would be ideal for a longer stay.

Thank you for the facility. Don and Family

Great experience! Beautiful setting and privacy was exceptional. Plenty of wood for a great campfire!

We will be back ! Loved the experience and privacy of your family homestead.

We found your home to be exceptionally warm and comfortable in a very rustic setting. It displayed a lot of love and care in the cleanliness and maintenance all through the property. The layout and location was very exceptional for our visit to Glacier National Park and the surrounding area. It was very accommodating to my wheelchair while not distracting from the historical homestead features of the house. The informative history of the property and surrounding area that you provided in the house was very enjoyable to read. We especially appreciate the effort that you put forward in making our stay comfortable. We certainly intend on returning when we visit the area again.

This is a wonderful property, It is very convenient to Glacier National Park. The property itself is beautiful and relaxing. The manager is on site and very easy to contact. We enjoyed the flowers, nearby creek, and hummingbird feeders which were kept full. Highly recommend.

Loved our stay although way too short. Your homes are really perfect for a group of folks to stay several days so that one can get a real feel for the area on multiple levels. I am trying to figure out how to get a group of loved ones together for at least 4 days.
Home,comfortable and comprehensive describe your abodes.

We had a WONDERFUL time staying at Jaybird's. It was quiet and peaceful; the bird and creek sounds were especially soothing. This house is clearly well loved and has so many thoughtful touches, making it comfortable and very accommodating of a family! The evenings were lovely, and after a day's worth of adventure in Glacier National Park, we relaxed on the front porch and sometimes strolled around the area to say hello to various dogs and horses. It was hard to leave! Thank you again. We'd love to come back! Best,

A very nice, unique home. Very log cabin style inside. It sits in a beautiful location in the country with many trees, a stream and hummingbirds. The house is very well equipped with essentials for the bath and kitchen. The beds were comfy as well. We would stay here again.

We truly enjoyed our visit to Abbott Valley Homestead. The children enjoyed having a yard to play in, and being able to have a fire every night. The cabin was awesome. We would sure visit again if the opportunity should arise.

I just finished making reservations again at Abbott Valley. We love the quiet beauty of this place with the nearby creek, surrounded by trees and meadows. Jaybird's is a lovely clean and well-maintained home. Thank you for the memories.

Our stay at Jaybird’s in Abbott Valley Homestead was very enjoyable and it was a great base for our vacation. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, tucked into the woods besides a stream and across a gravel drive from a horse pasture. We saw deer and turkeys wandering around the property during our five days there in June. Although we arrived later in the evening than we expected, the owner, Doyle, came over with extra sheets and started a fire for us in the woodburning stove. Jaybird’s accommodations are rustic, but attractive, and the beds, including the pullout sofa in the den, were all very comfortable. There is a nice dining table to gather around, and the galley kitchen was tidy and functional.

Although Abbott Valley Homestead is on a country road a mile or so outside of the slightly ramshackle town of Martin City, the drive back out to Highway 2 is easy, and the location is very convenient. Turn right and West Glacier is about a 10-minute drive away and turn left and you are headed to Columbia Falls and then onward to Whitefish less than 40 minutes away. Glacier NP was the big draw for us, but there are many other things to do in the area, and Doyle had several suggestions for us while we were there. The next time we have a chance to visit we will certainly try to stay at Abbott Valley Homestead again.

Great place in a private setting. Clean and cozy. Perfect spot for couples or families.

The cabin was comfortably furnished with everything needed for base camp. As promised the cabin was very close to Glacier and many national forests. We would definitely return!

This house is very comfortable and retains the feel of a one-time family home, right down to the height chart for the kids who grew up here, carved into some doorposts. It is in a peaceful location and well equipped. It was surprisingly cool even on hot days. The hosts are friendly and helpful. One wrote an informative and entertaining history of this property and the area, which is kept in an album in the house.

This was a great meeting place for us. We had 4 adults and 2 children and still had plenty of space. The house was extremely clean, had all of the necessities, and the views were beautiful. We used the patio, fire pit, grill, kitchen, and took some lovely walks. We will definitely try to come back to the Jay-Bird again!

our family of two adults and two teen aged grand children loved staying at this home. the house consists of a master bedroom and two other bedrooms. the two bathrooms are down the hall from the bedrooms. we loved the outside of the house!!!!! a wonderful patio, a bar-b-que and a fire pit. all three of these features were used and enjoyed every night. there is even a swing that the kids loved. we enjoyed our stay....thank you.

We had plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed the back patio and grill and the kids had a ball looking for rocks in the stream and exploring the trails. We had a great time and would highly recommend.

We had the wonderful pleasure of staying at your Resort between July 29 and Aug 2nd..
My daughter Sheri and I rented JayBird..
I just wanted to let you know how much we loved the time spent there.I could not think of a more perfect place..
Everyone of my family members that were there also can’t wait for a return vacation with you..
Everyone of the Cabins were {as the kids would say} were awesome..
I hope everyone left their Cabins in decent shape..I know we tried..Pretty sure we over did on the fire wood though..The whole group
seemed to stay at our fire pit each night{which was great},but I know we went through a lot of wood...sorry about that..
When and IF we can get together to do this again,will you accept us??? The next time we might need all of the Cabins,would that be ok with you?
There was so much to do and so little time.My first time Horseback riding and I am 78..I got the Mule{Dixie who loved eating Ferns}..That was a blast..
Next time I would do the hiking also..Needless to say,this is all we can talk about...Thank You so very much again for everything..
Hoping to see you again...

Our family group of 7 rented the Jaybird cabin for a week. It was just perfect for us and the whole experience was wonderful. The folks at Abbott Valley were so helpful in answering all of my questions before we even booked. When I explained that we'd be arriving after midnight, Doyle even offered to buy coffee and other breakfast supplies for our first morning. The cabin is clean and charming. The beds were comfortable and many basics are provided, like hand soap, toilet paper and paper towels, salt and pepper, fully appointed kitchen, etc. We especially enjoyed having a washer/dryer and even detergent provided. The best part of the AVH is the location. Although there were other cabins nearby, we never heard a peep out of other people in our week's stay. Doyle stopped in to check on us the morning after we arrived and before we left which was a very nice touch. We were surrounded by beautiful trees, flowers, meadows, and a small creek. We were visited by a doe and her fawn two mornings. Thank you Doyle and AVH for a perfect week!

I cannot tell you how much we DO NOT want to leave! We have so enjoyed 'allowing' our kids to run free in the pasture and sleeping with the doors unlocked -- a luxury we do not have in the city. We want to come back on a yearly basis. Thanks for your gracious hospitality.

We had our daughter's wedding ceremony in Glacier and our rather large family (including a contingent from Europe) came up early to enjoy this beautiful part of Montana. We were delighted with our time at Abbott Valley. Jaybird's and all the cabins are well-maintained and have nice touches that only come from places that real people made their homes for many years. Each cabin and its setting is completely different from the others so it was fun to move the party to a different place each evening. Another great amenity is the "Pavilion" next to the Millhouse. I think the Foley's just took the sides off a small barn to create it, but the result is a great place to BBQ and entertain no matter the weather. We had 50 some people there one evening and it worked perfectly. Finally the cost is very reasonable, especially if you compare it to the exorbitant lodges in Glacier Park (whose cabins aren't anywhere near as nice!)
