Amazing week in Glacier
We stayed with Linda at her wonderful farm in Whitefish in August. We booked almost a year out - and had plenty of good communication back and forth. There were 6 adults and 1 child - and plenty of room for everyone. I've never stayed in such a well-equipped VRBO - from kitchenware to spices to bath products. Our granddaughter particularly loved the two Highland cows and the chickens and dog running around. And her husband graciously lit a fire for us for s'mores. Just about 10 minutes outside of Whitefish - this was an excellent family retreat. Linda lives right on the property in another home and pops over to check on everything regularly. Great choice when you're in Glacier.

Outstanding Montana Vacation!
We were beyond happy with our stay! Linda and Dave are the most gracious hosts. The property has everything you could need - a well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, plenty of towels and information about the area including Glacier NP. We felt like we were coming home every evening after spending the day in the park or hanging out at the beach by Whitefish Lake. The location is central to everything in the Flathead Valley. It is such an amazing, beautiful area. This is a complete 10 out of 10 property. Thank you so much for making our vacation a wonderful memory!

2nd time renter
This was our second time staying at the Bed N Bale. The location worked perfectly for our group of family and friends for a weekend in Whitefish and Glacier NP. The property was conveniently located..close enough to town for runs to the grocery store but far enough to feel quiet and secluded with access to trails right from the rental. Linda was always available and helpful if needed. Definitely recommended.

Fabulous Farmhouse
The farmhouse is beautiful and has everything you need to make your stay in Whitefish enjoyable. Linda is friendly and responsive, and offers excellent advice. She makes you feel at home! The property is gorgeous with excellent seating areas outside and lots of beautiful flowers. The cows and chickens are definitely a highlight. There is a lot of room inside - plenty of sleeping choices, a well stocked kitchen, and accommodating bathrooms. Everything is clean! Getting to the surrounding areas is easy. We definitely recommend staying here!

Wonderful home away from home!
This large home is a wonderful place for a vacation stay. It has plenty of space and all the things you need! Linda is very attentive to her guests needs and checked in frequently to be sure everything was going well. We especially loved the quiet, peaceful location and the opportunity to be a part of the farm - feeding the animals and collecting eggs:-). Thank you, Linda, for a sharing your little corner of heaven! the Austins and Muis

Glacier Home Base
This was the perfect property for our trip. Linda is the best host we have had in 7 years of VRBO-ing. Fresh eggs, the friendliest hairy highlander cow, wonderful beds and luxurious sheets, and homemade huckleberry jam made our home base experience over the top. 30 minutes from airport, 45 from park interest, 10 minutes from Whitefish restaurants., great location. We would book again.

Quiet living on the farm
Bailey's Bed & Bale is a secluded, quiet mountain and farm retreat. We enjoyed everything about our 4-day stay: the rustic log construction interior and its personalized lived-in character with everything you could possibly need. It felt like you were living in someone's house, not a rental property. We enjoyed roaming the grounds, feeding the cows, playing with the dog, watching the chickens strut around, and spotting an occasional deer in the yard. Linda was very accommodating and helpful with recommendations for places to eat or things to do. Prior to our visit she gave us notice about entry passes for Glacier National Park and getting a rental car reserved early because of the shortage. Her hospitality and friendliness made our visit feel like we were visiting family. Hopefully we will make a return visit to Whitefish and get to stay here again!

Whitefish gem
We had a wonderful stay at Bailey's BednBale. The house was comfortable and cabin-y, just what we were looking for for our Montana adventure. We enjoyed sitting at the large table outside and watching the chickens. The house is not too far from downtown Whitefish and relatively close to Glacier. Linda was so welcoming and added lots of special touches throughout the house. We would definitely stay again!

This is a beautiful house and a wonderful property. If you are looking for a cozy, secluded place to stay, this is your spot. The location is great. Less than 10 minutes to Whitefish and an easy 20-30 minute drive to Glacier. Linda is a gracious host and did everything she could to make sure we felt right and home. We will definitely stay here again!

Unique Montana Experience
We had the perfect getaway at the bednbale. It’s been my dad’s dream to go to Montana for forever and we could not have asked for a better experience. We enjoyed the bednbale so much that we found it hard to leave. Linda was an amazing host. She stocked our fridge with fresh chicken eggs, homemade huckleberry jam, and left us a gift basket. She also brought us over some homemade salsa. She asked us how we slept and really made sure we were all entertained. Honestly one of the best bnb experiences I’ve ever had. We also loved feeding their Scottish highland cows. Don’t even hesitate just book with bednbale. You won’t regret it. It took us about 40 min to get to the GNP west entrance and the drive is very pretty.

Enter as strangers leave as friends does not do Linda justice. She is now family! She literally made everything about our trip the best ever! We were staying there for our sons wedding and were asked at the last minute to handle food. Linda helped us with area suggestions that could help and so much more.

Wonderful family vacation in Whitefish
We loved our accommodations at Bailey's Bed & Vale...the house was warm and inviting, spacious with everything you could need, plus much more. Our hostess, Linda was incredibly gracious....we loved having farm fresh eggs and she thoughtfully provided us with homemade apple butter and vanilla pears as well as a welcome basket of "nibbles" which was much appreciated after our long trip. The property was also beautiful...like being in the middle of a lush clearing, surrounded by forest and yet we were very close to town and conveniently located close to Glacier National Park. I would highly recommend this home...can't wait to go back! Sabrina and Frank Hernandez

If you want to be treated like family, from the check in process to the surprises left to welcome you, this is the place. The cabin was outfitted better than home - everything you needed and more. The farm experience greatly added to our stay and we couldn't have been happier with the accommodations. Wish we could have stayed longer!
