Off-Grid Treehouse

Off Grid Stays sits on ten private acres of larch forest outside Columbia Falls, Montana, about 30 minutes from the west entrance of Glacier National Park. Four treehouses stand on steel stilts above the forest floor, each oriented differently across the property for privacy and its own view of the surrounding mountains.

The Tree House sits low in the canopy with floor-to-ceiling windows. The Cliff House rises two stories on a hillside with two balconies, two fire pits, and a dedicated workspace. The Box House also spans two stories with windows on every wall for wide views of the forest and peaks. Peak of the Pines is a single-story unit set at the far edge of the property, giving the most buffer from noise.

Staying here means going off-grid while keeping wifi, useful for remote work between hikes. There's no hot tub and pets aren't permitted. Fire pits, stargazing, and secluded outdoor space come standard, along with regular sightings of deer, elk, and black bears moving through the clearings. The property is roughly 40 minutes from Whitefish, Flathead Lake, and Glacier Park Airport.

Booking runs through the Off Grid Stays website or verified listings on Airbnb and VRBO. Seasonal notes matter here: winter access requires 4WD or AWD with winter tires, since the plowed road can get steep, and summer is peak season for both the park and the property, so early booking is advised.
