About this property

Welcome to The Ponderosa!

  • The Ponderosa (VRBO #3351557) is a property we bought a few years ago and renovated. It is on 9 private acres. And has a HUGE Ponderosa tree on the property. Which is Montana's state tree. It's a house in the treetops with beautiful views of all that Montana offers. Every amenity is here for your memorable stay, such as a large gas/charcoal grill, outdoor firepit, and a cozy deck to enjoy meals throughout your stay, We are only 3 miles outside of Columbia Falls and 5 miles from Whitefish. The back road between the two towns is where the house is situated, which makes this location very desirable. Meadow Lake golf course is a mile away. Which features a very popular golf course as well as a nice restaurant and bar that has a happy hour every day! There is also rodeos down the road every Thursday and occasional Saturday during the summer. And a nice walking trail down the road along the creek that takes 5 minutes or less to drive to you. Glacier Park is 25 mins away, Big Sky waterslides are 10 mins, and Whitefish Mountain Resort is also 20 minutes This property can sleep up to 6 guests comfortably. We do accept well-behaved pets (no more than 2 please) but ask that you keep them off our furniture. There is plenty of room for dog beds on the front porch or in the house. There is quite a bit of wildlife that roams through our property such as deer, fox, coyotes, and bear. Which they call this forest their home. We have lovely neighbors and want to keep it that way. The surrounding neighbors have children, horses, guinea hens, chickens, cats, and their own dogs. Which means your pet must be under control or leashed at all times. Now that the major rules are out of the way we hope this will be a good fit for you, your friends, & pets! I'm happy to answer any questions you may have we appreciate you considering to stay at The Ponderosa!!
