Beautiful Property

We had a wonderful stay at Vicki and Barry’s property. The description listed is accurate and property and its location are beautiful. The hosts are friendly and more than willing to share insights for dining and things to do in the area. We strongly recommend this property and hope to visit again in the future.

Cozy Guesthouse

Vicki and Barry are such a delight and so very accommodating! They gave many suggestions for things to do and places to go around the area. Vicki also baked the most amazing fudge bars and shared them with us. The river is absolutely gorgeous and Zoey is the sweetest thing, she deserves all of the pets ☺️

Hidden Gem

This property is a hidden gem tucked away in Bigfork. The location provides an excellent escape in the woods with the Swan river within a short walk including two chairs overlooking the river for a nice morning or evening view. The cottage is equipped with everything you need including fresh coffee, a comfortable living room to relax after a day on the lake and even a washer and dryer! The owners (Vicki and Barry) are close by to assist with recommendations for dinner and any help for things to do in this beautiful area. I can’t say enough on how welcoming they both are and made us feel immediately comfortable like visiting old friends. Of course we fell in love with the resident golden retriever-Zooey. Beautiful, friendly and always ready to have you throw something for her! We have stayed at many homes and this is exceptional with caring owners willing to share their special place!

Peaceful Setting by the River

Barry and Vicky are great hosts. The cabin has everything. Looks brand new! Great location into Big Fork. Peaceful setting. The grounds are immaculate. Cabin fully furnished. River is right behind the main house. Zoe, their dog, is a plus. Beautiful, friendly girl. Cannot say enough about the joys of staying here. A+ for everything

We had a fantastic stay at Vicki and Barry's guest house on Drifting Way! The property is amazing and our hosts were so welcoming. Everything was clean and comfy and there are a ton of things to do in the area. The morning pets with their pup Zoey were extra special too! We hope to be able to return someday! Thank you for wonderful experience :)

Swan River Cabin

First off Vicki and Barry are amazing, and they made our stay so much more enjoyable. They let us borrow fishing poles, offered to drive us up the road and drop us off to float the river using their equipment, and brought my wife handpicked wildflowers from their garden! On top of that they have the nicest/friendliest dog (Zo-Zo) who reminded us of our Golden back home. The cabin is exactly what you see in the photos, it’s the perfect size for a couple. No problems with the AC, hot water, or wifi. Cabin comes with a toaster oven, blender, coffee pot, washer/dryer, and everything else that you could ask for. Overall this place is great, and if we could we’d give it 10 stars!

Swan-tastic

We had a wonderful getaway on this Swan River property. The area was beautiful, hosts are very friendly, the guesthouse was clean and comfortable. We couldn’t find anything to complain about if we tried. (*Except that our week away went by way too fast.). Thank you, Barry and Vicki, for letting us stay on your little piece of heaven.

Perfect Week in Bigfork Montana

We loved this cabin and had a great first visit to Montana! Owners were so friendly and helpful with suggestions for fishing and restaurant ideas. We made 2 day trips to Glacier National Park and thoroughly enjoyed that. We also hiked Jewel Basin and fished several spots along the Swan River (which cabin is located on). Downtown Bigfork is not far away with several dining options and boutique shopping if that's your thing. We loved the location! So quiet and peaceful, yet close to so much. Kitchen was well appointed and we enjoyed cooking breakfast there every day before heading out for our adventures. Awesome selection of teas, and owners have provided several extras like coffee, tp, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, laundry detergent. Loved having a washer/dryer set up. We will definitely stay here again if we have the opportunity to return some day and cabin could easily accommodate a small family of 4 using the living room sofa bed.

Home away from home

My husband and I stayed at Barry and Vickys guest cabin for 3 nights for our honeymoon.The location was very beautiful, as we took several walks down by the river. The property was very well manicured with lots of flowers, of which I received a fresh bouquet on the table, and and also was lucky enough to be gifted fresh greens from Vickys garden. Surrounded by lakes and rivers there is no shortage of adventures, we decided to kayak swan river (which we were provided use of a kayak) and Barry also dropped us off and picked us up on the river! We absolutely loved our stay! great people and beautiful country. We recommend staying with Vicky and Barry if your looking for a mountain home away from home!

Beautiful Montana River Property

Vicki and Barry have really designed and built a perfect place in the woods to stay and relax. The home was perfect for our week long stay. We saw deer wander across the property almost every evening. We sat by the river and drank wine several evenings during our stay. I was fly fishing right off the back of the property. Vicki and Barry are such great hosts and if you are looking for a fantastic Montana get away don't miss out on staying here. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful guest home. So comfortable!

Best rental I've ever stayed in.

The property itself is fantastic. New construction, very clean and the kitchen is 100% equipped. Location is fantastic as its close to town but still feels secluded. Having a coffee by the river in the morning is a wonderfully relaxing experience. So is cracking the window so the rapids can lull you to sleep at night. Even better than the property are the hosts, Vicki and Barry. Very warm and friendly and make you feel at home. Deep knowledge of the area, from hiking trails to how to fish the numerous waterways in the area. And if you're lucky, Vicki will bake something fresh while you're there! I can't recommend this VRBO enough.
