This house is…so interesting. The living space is great and open. Some things to note (especially if you’re traveling with children/toddlers like we were: 1. Every bedroom has a skylight that you cannot cover so bed time and wake up time are very reliant on the sun. 2. There are several sets of stairs (2-3) around the first floor living space so we had to be constantly cautious of that for the toddlers 3. The temperature control was tricky 4. The beds are on the smaller side 5. The layout of the house is pretty wonky with two separate wings of rooms. 6. I would argue there aren’t enough bathrooms for the number of people but we made it work7. The bathtub in the shared bathroom was not at all accessible for anyone with mobility issues or small children 8. The location is on a busy road, about 45 minutes from the West entrance for Glacier National Park 9. Great location for Whitefish which was a fun town to explore

Spacious Rental near Whitefish

Big house with plenty of space to spread out. Quick responses if we had any questions. Outdoor space could really use some more attention given the cost of the property rental. Hot tub was new and clean, definitely enjoyable. Very close to Whitefish and an easy drive to Glacier. Thanks for a good stay!

Heavenly Home

The home was very spacious, so very clean, bedroom very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked The grounds were above beautiful Although it rained heavy all three days we were there. Mother Nature was not kind. I was there with my two adult children and their spouses and all my adult grandchildren.Who truly enjoyed our time together. We would love to come back again one day. Thank you for helping make our get- together filled with happy memories.

A difficult property to describe

A very difficult property to describe. Large and spacious but in a very sprawling manner. A hodgepodge of rooms. The kitchen was large and easy for 3 or more people to function in, but the cabinets were dated and cumbersome to use. Again, plenty of space and storage capacity but dated and without a disposal. The dining room was huge and the downstairs living rooms could accommodate many guests. The downstairs bathroom was quite plain with a lower end door - adequate but and in need of updating. The upstair suites were poorly designed. The master suite had touches of style/charm, but the bathroom area was very narrow and without a privacy door between the master bedroom and the connecting bedroom in the suite. The master bedroom in other upstairs suite was open visa via a veranda to the lower living room which seemed quite unnecessary and limited privacy. There was also no air conditioning in that room and it was uncomfortably warm. The two connecting bedrooms in that suite were decent and used window air conditioning. The bathroom was adequate, but there were small swinging doors for the toilet room, which seemed odd. The jacuzzi was good although all four of the head rests were missing which was disappointing. As to the outside grounds, some nice flowers were scattered about, but none of the many fountains were working. It was obvious there was much deferred maintenance - of note in that regard some of the many noxious weeds on the front side of the house were 5 feet tall. Parking was good as was the location.

What a great place to stay. This house is a lot bigger than it seems from the pictures and from first seeing it from the outside. Everyone had lots of room and the main living areas are perfect to keep everyone together. Would recommend anyone coming to whitefish to stay in this house.

Unique and Quirky Home

This is a fairly unique and interesting accommodation. It served our group fairly well, except for not being having as many beds as advertised. We were counting on a sleeper sofa, think that meant there would be a pull-out couch. However, we were unable to locate a sleeper sofa, so our last guest wound up sleeping on the couch. I was confused by the beds on this listing, and had to comb through the pictures to determine the actual bed and bedroom situation. The layout of the home is a bit odd, with confusing electrical switches everywhere and the queen bunk beds being located between the master suite bedroom and bathroom. There was plenty of room for our group of 11 to sleep and enjoy the home. The living space is beautiful, and provided ample space for both dining and lounging. The hosts were very quick to respond and find a solution when we were having issues with the hot tub. The sauna was wonderful, and again, being located between 3 bedrooms in one of the upper story wings is an odd placement. The steam shower in the master bath was not functioning during our stay, and we were only able to locate 2 quite small cutting boards in the kitchen for our use. Aside from these few minor issues and quirks of the home itself, the property and place were lovely and comfortable, and the proximity to Whitefish Mountain was ideal!

Incredible Vacation Spot!

Located perfectly between downtown whitefish and the mountain's base lodge, this house is perfectly placed to take full advantage of the town and outdoor activities. The house is clean, spacious, and has all the amenities to make it a destination in its own right. The hot tub, sauna, grill, large living and dining rooms, and plentiful sleeping spaces makes it a great area to host a group on a mountain vacation. I can't recommend the spot enough!

Lovely spot near the ski hill

Very fun and eclectic place to stay. Not super modern home- but that’s definitely part of the charm. There was plenty of room for our group of skiers and we made good use of the sauna and hottub. Super short drive to the hill and easy drive into downtown. Would recommend the host to find a better labelling system for the light switches, but that was barely even a minor inconvenience. Would stay again!

Rustic Charm

This is a very nice house at a reasonable price. Very clean, comfortable, and plenty of room. It has an interesting floor plan with two different upstairs. We also had a lot of deer and a fox come through yard, which was fun to see. Only a couple maintenance issues. The freezer didn’t freeze (our Hagen-Dazs was super soft serve), the lights above the vanity in the main floor bathroom didn’t work, and the hot tub was a bit grimy. Other than that, we loved the house.

Beautiful Home with Easy Access to All Whitefish Amenities

My friends and I absolutely loved this home as it had plenty of beds for 10+ adults to fit comfortably while also providing tons of common area space - including a massive dining room table for the whole group to eat at. The jacuzzi and outdoor firepit were also really awesome. Despite the house sitting on a large, quiet lot that made us feel completely secluded, it is conveniently located just 5 minutes from the lake and downtown, 10 minutes from the golf course, and 20 minutes from the ski resort. We would 100% stay here again!

Great stay for our multi-generational trip

Such a unique home, with some quirks! It comfortably hosted our group of 11, ages 2-70. Plenty of seating. Game room was great for teen kids. Hot tub was nice. Bedrooms were HOT, but we did visit during a heat wave. Landscaping could use some upkeep. Appliances are a little old. Great location for access Whitefish Mountain Resort and Glacier National Park. Easy drive into Whitefish.
