Description
Glacier Contained is a one-of-a-kind short-term rental investment unlike anything else in Northwest Montana. Four meticulously converted shipping container cabins — The Glacier, The Wildlife, The Cowboy, and The Angler — sit on a 5-acre parcel just 20 minutes from the west entrance to Glacier National Park. Built in 2023, the property is effectively new construction. Each cabin features a private hot tub, covered patio, kitchenette, and high-end finishes designed to deliver a premium guest experience. An additional 20-ft shipping container serves as a shared laundry facility, well house, and storage space. The property achieved an 82% annual occupancy rate in 2025 and has generated more than 800 reviews averaging 4.97 stars across multiple booking platforms since opening in 2023. Glacier Contained currently operates at an 8.1% cap rate and benefits from strong year-round tourism demand in the rapidly growing Flathead Valley market. Beyond its already impressive performance, Glacier Contained offers meaningful untapped upside potential for a future owner. Comparable experiential hospitality properties across the country have built substantial social media followings that drive premium nightly rates and increased direct bookings. The property's unique branding, highly photogenic design, and guest experience position it exceptionally well for similar growth. The site layout also allows for future amenity enhancements, including the potential addition of privacy fencing between cabins, a pickleball court, and an additional container conversion that could serve as a fitness or wellness facility — all of which could further elevate the guest experience and support continued revenue growth. Columbia Falls continues to see strong tourism and real estate growth as a primary gateway community to Glacier National Park. One of the sellers is a Licensed REALTOR® in Montana.
