Great place to stay with large groups. Lots of room and large common areas. It is well supplied with aĺl the basic needs for your stay. We enjoyed time with family having meals together, relaxing on the porch, and playing games in the large family room. Whitefish is a great town for shopping and dining, it is also an easy drive to other areas of interest. We spent time hiking, biking, swimming, going to Flathead Lake and Glacier National Park.
Cabin was beautiful! Bedrooms all good sized for 5 adults. The kitchen is completely stocked with great cookware, variety of spices, coffee, filters, lots of extras. Ryan the caretaker was very nice and super friendly. His little dog “ Bea” is very friendly too. It was a wonderful vacation!
Wonderful large lodge home with plenty of room for our group of 7. We loved the open great room with cozy fireplace. The kitchen offered plenty of room and was fully equipped. The outdoor decks offered a quiet place to relax amongst the trees. All of the bedrooms were comfotable and large. We enjoyed the clubhouse with pool and fantastic outdoor hot tub and patio. You couldn't ask for better accommodations. I have been traveling to Whitefish and Glacier NP for years for the natural beauty of the mountains and numerous hiking trails. Such a great location with a short drive into town and 30 minutes from West Glacier.

Winter Wonderland Vacation!
The home itself was ideal, and it definitely felt like we were in a winter wonderland cabin with great amenities. That said, there was some initial trouble getting into the house with the touchpad keyless entry and being unable to reach anyone about it for quite some time. However, the property management folks were very apologetic and compensated us for the inconvenience. Our only other complaint was some sort of bug infestation in the master bedroom. It was sprayed, although that did not immediately resolve the issue, which was very unfortunate.
The house was great for our 2 families. The adults slept upstairs and the 4 teenagers downstairs. It was very roomy and the kitchen was fully stocked. The ski resort is only 7 minutes away and downtown whitefish is really wonderful with lots of shops and restaurants. They even cleaned the walkway for us when it snowed!
This property has ample room for many. Wood burning fireplace and pellet stove made warm and cozy after a long ski day. I would stay here again in a heart beat.
Beautiful cabin with amazing views. Close to hill but not ski-in or ski-out. Was perfect for our 2 families, everyone was comfortable & large dining table was perfect for everyone to eat at & play cards after dinner. Enjoyed our stay. Note that driveway is extremely steep, narrow & can be icy.
Great home for our large party of 10! Our only issue was that the house didn't have air conditioning and we happened to be there when temps were in the 90s. I realize that's probably not normal but just an FYI if you are there in the summer. I'm also not blaming the owner - it's our fault for not realizing that to be the case. Otherwise it was great for us; the amenities are great and the resort being so close was awesome as well. Even in the summer, it was a great place to visit and soclose for us to visit Glacier. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful property.
This house was amazing! We had 2 families stay in the home for a ski vacation. We particularly loved that the bedrooms were on different floors than the main gathering areas (living area and kitchen). Everything was updated and immaculate. Bonus, the house was decorated for Christmas! We have never rented during the holidays when the house had a decorated Christmas tree! A very nice touch to an already cozy home. Highly recommend this rental. The drive to the mountain was approximately 10 minutes.

Misleading listing
The listing implied that it could sleep 12 people. I guess that was true, but I incorrectly assumed it also meant the 10 of us staying would be able to take hot showers. Unfortunately, the hot water would only support about two to three showers a day. I notified the management company and they said a technician would be sent out but I never heard from or saw anyone in the 8 days we stayed.
We enjoyed our stay in Ptarmigan village. The house itself was gorgeous. The location is great - close to both Whitefish and Big Mountain. We used the Villages’ pool and hot tub daily, and appreciated the private beach access on Whitefish Lake. The only downside was loud dogs barking early in the morning next door. Overall would highly recommend this property!
Beautiful home in Ptarmigan Village. Kids enjoyed the pool, playground. Caretaker was helpful and friendly. Property managers responded on a timely basis.
We travel every year and have never stayed at a home with such a complete kitchen. Didn't even need to bring our slow cooker. The rooms are furnished exactly as pictured and very clean. With 4 families totaling 11 people, there was room for all of us to eat at the large table. Yet with many rooms and balconies, we could spread out comfortably. Thank you for opening your home to us. Nobody was ready to leave at the end of our 5 days.
We absolutely loved the house and our overall experience. My wife and I invited our family to the Whitefish area to help celebrate our 25th Anniversary. I can’t express how enjoyable our experience was. The house more than exceeded our expectations. We would do it all over again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Montana and the house was perfect for our needs. We especially loved the long kitchen table so we were all able to sit together. We would definitely rent this house again and the communication and customer service was remarkable.
Great location on the Hill, so close to the ski resort and easily accessible to town. We were a group of old friends looking to get together for the first time since the pandemic started and this was the perfect place. Large enough to spread out but intimate and perfect for spending time together. Would love to come again!
We stayed with 3 couples, all college friends from 40+ yrs. ago. Six other college friends stayed in nearby condos, and this house became our gathering place for dinner and socializing in the evenings. It was perfect for that, with lots of space and a large kitchen, and especially with a dining table which could accomodate all 12 of us. Even without air conditioning during a very hot summer, we had a wonderful stay.
