This Montana Airbnb Is Like Stepping Onto the Set of a Western Movie

A good Western movie is filled with intrigue, adventure, memorable characters, and so much more. It can give you a peek into a unique time in American history, a time when life was filled with struggle, romance, and thrills. And while you can get a glimpse of this historic period by sitting back and watching your television screen, there’s nothing quite like experiencing it yourself.

A Western Movie Set Come to Life

At Fort Williamson, just a short drive from Glacier National Park, you will feel like you’ve stepped onto the set of a Western film.

Fort Williamson is a unique base camp for Glacier National Park. This destination is approximately 15 minutes from this Montana national park entrance, and it’s perfect for a couple’s getaway or even a large family vacation. Here, there are five unique and separate vacation rentals that create a single Old West-style town. Book a stay in a single cabin or rent the entire town for your family; either way, you’ll have a themed getaway that will take you back in time. Each rental is located in one of the town's buildings. You can stay in a sheriff's jail, Joe’s Saloon, Madam Woman’s Inn, Kim’s Trading Post, or Rose’s Place.

Inside This Western 'Set' of Airbnbs

Each building varies in its size and amenities. For example, Rose’s Place is perfect for a romantic getaway near Glacier National Park. This unique Airbnb in Columbia Falls, Montana, features a studio layout with one bed and one bathroom. There is a full kitchen (although there is no oven), a small seating area, and décor on the wall that gives this modern vacation rental Western flair. One highlight of Rose’s Place Airbnb is the indoor, heart-shaped hot tub where you can soak away your worries and let your body recover after a day of adventure.

Not Your Typical Western

From high-end amenities to a heart-shaped hot tub, these rentals are anything but ordinary.

Airbnbs also feature front porched where you can sit outdoors, breathe fresh air, and maybe even spot the wildlife that wanders by. Keep in mind that while each cabin is private, you will share the outdoor amenities with other guests.

The Perfect Basecamp for Glacier National Park

If you wish to stay in this Wild West town, you’ll want to book early as cabins do fill up quickly during the summer months. I also recommend that you stay for a few days and spend some time in Glacier National Park. Hike, take a scenic drive, spend the day at a lake — the activities and opportunities are endless at this breathtaking Montana park.

You can be the main character in your own Western film when you book a stay at Fort Williamson, home to themed Airbnbs near Glacier National Park.
