Awesome house, great location

Stayed at this property for a trip with 12 people and it was perfect. Spacious enough to fit all 12 people comfortably with amenities for everyone to enjoy. Location is also very close to everything including Glacier National Park, Whitefish Lake, and not too far from the airport.

Summer Vacay

Very nice, well maintained mountain home as described in the listing details. Hits: enough space for our group of 13, huckleberry bushes in the yard, hot tub, a/c units in the main floor living room and both upstairs bedrooms, easy check-in and checkout. Misses: upstairs bedrooms need more window coverings. There is less than 7hrs of full darkness in peak summer. Downstairs sliding door needs new blinds.

Awesome House, Great Location

We rented this house (and 1 other from this company) for our elopement. We had around 30 people, all from out of state, and these two houses together were great for our group. Plenty of space to hang out, have meals together, cook, get ready for the wedding, take some neat pictures, and still have some space to share. Between table games, a hot tub, and small appliances, the house had everything we needed! The location is one of the best parts. It's on the mountain a little ways out of town to provide privacy and the feeling of being in Montana, but not too far outside of Whitefish either.

A beautiful place to spend family time together!!!

Brown Bear Stay

What a great place to enjoy Montana. Very comfortable and close to all of our day trips. The staff was extremely responsive...had weather related issue and they came right out in a matter of minutes! Quiet area with wildlife every morning just outside the back deck. Loved the park and Pole Bridge area. Will book again if in the area....

Spacious for large family

We had a large family group travel to MT together. This house was located near the ski resort. It was plenty large for our 4 families and the kids loved the hot tub, game room and activities nearby. They had plenty of cooking utensils that made it easy to cook in the house and avoid spending lots of money eating out.

Perfect place for our perfect wedding trip

We came here for our wedding and I have to say this home was absolutely beautiful! The view was even better! We got to see deer out on the patio and enjoy our coffee with views and perfect weather. The master bedroom was perfect for getting ready for my wedding day and the photos came out stunning! The only complaint I received from everyone was how hot it was even with the AC units going, so we opened the windows. Thankfully the weather was amazing so it kept the rooms cool. I would still recommend this place especially for a wedding party because of the layout. We also enjoyed the hot tub and everything was clean! 10/10 recommend. :)

A great family retreat

3 families came together for a weekend together! We cooked, we relaxed and we explored the area. The house layout and size was perfect for our needs and located appropriately to spend time at the mountain and in town. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and hot tub was warm. We couldn't ask for much more.
