Very nice
Nice house with good yard with many outside activities available like campfire, frisbee golf, etc. Saw deer in yard every day! Upstairs was renovated and really nice. Downstairs had older look but nice enough and functional. Downstairs did get a bit warm but upstairs where most of bedrooms are was plenty cool. Big enough our group of 12. Very convenient to grocery and restaurants.

Montana wonderland!
The Montana Homestead was perfect for our large 4 family 16 people annual trip. Plenty of space for all. In the country yet minutes away from the grocery store. Well stocked with all the essentials. Lots of outdoor games available. Kathryn was quick to respond to questions and very accommodating. The close proximity to the west entrance of GNP was a bonus. Loved the daily visits with the resident deer and their baby.

Montana Homestead is Amazing!
Montana Homestead is a beautiful property, centrally located and perfectly accommodated our group of 15. The home is warm and well kept - perfect place to come back to after long days outdoor. First level provided the ideal gathering place for all of us to hang out, play board games, cook, eat and the upstairs bedrooms/bathroom were comfortable. Kathryn is a great hostess who made us feel welcomed even before we arrived and she kept in touch with us throughout to make sure we had everything we needed. Amazing place for large groups! You won't be disappointed.

Great Homestead Vacation
We had a wonderful stay. We had eight adults that fit very comfortably and enjoyed the fact that two showers can be done at the same time without running out of hot water. We played the golf course across the street and that was beautiful. Columbia Falls allowed us to hit East and West Glacier because the going to the Sun was closed along with Whitefish, Big Fork and fishing on Flathead lake. We had plenty of room to play board games. One of the highlights were the hearing blankets that warmed the very comfortable beds...awesome feeling after a day of hiking. The showers were enormous and the house was stocked with everything! Great job Kathryn

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn Price

Host profile image
My parents, David and Carla Shaffer built the Montana Homestead in the spring of 1977. Providing a home for their eleven children, they had a large garden, raised cows, goats, pigs and even pastured horses for the neighbors. David was a local teacher of mathematics at the junior high, high school and community college. Carla was a stay at home mom and housewife, teaching her children the responsibilities of being hard workers, good work ethic and overall a good citizen in the community. David is now retired and Carla passed away April 2019.

To keep the Homestead is the family, David sold the house to his daughter, Kathryn Price, a life long resident of Columbia Falls. Together with her husband, Darin and their four children they are continuing the family tradition of bringing families together in a comfortable environment while enjoying the many activities that NW Montana has to offer. Renovations have begun to modernize the Homestead without losing its rustic appeal. A large barn is planned for the near future to also host events on site to include family reunions, scrapbook retreats and weddings.

Why they chose this property

This family-friendly property is larger than it seems in the pictures and provides plenty of room to roam through the pasture or wooded walking trails. We offer seasonal outdoor games for group activities and the cabin has lots of room to accommodate large groups. Close to town and amenities you'll be pleasantly surprised at all we have to offer. Plenty of room for everyone in a large group.

What makes this property unique

The Montana Homestead "the cabin" has a special spirit, that you will experience during your stay with us. The cabin is meant for re-grounding yourself, encourages putting down the electronics and spending time with the ones you love in a comfortable, fun environment for everyone.
