The layout of the house consists of a main, open-plan, upper level featuring living, dining, fully equipped kitchen, and convenient half bath, with entries onto the large furnished deck. The main bedroom suite features French doors to the deck, walk-through closet, private bathroom with double vanity, soaking tub, and spacious walk-in shower. The lower level provides two comfortable bedrooms, full bathroom with tub/shower, dedicated laundry room, and an entry that leads to the lower yard. Wifi works great for streaming on the large TV or for remote work, and the additional large table between the common area is perfect for puzzles, games, extra meal seating, or spreading out that trail map. Amenities at the property include croquet set, air conditioning/heating, premium linens, and outdoor dog washing area. There is also a 5-mode child feeding booster seat available that is suitable for ages 6 months - 4 years. In addition the home offers a play yard, children’s eating plates and utensils!
Sip your morning coffee or smoothie from the deck with views of the neighboring pine trees and Mission Range, grill your favorites on the bbq, and enjoy the outdoors with dining and lounging options. Create memories or s’mores with year-round wood burning fire pit, just like the campgrounds offer with cowboy cook-up grate. Summer months provide shade and beauty with the yard's plum, cherry and apple trees. The property is partially fenced between neighboring homes, with enclosed dog kennel in shady part of lower yard, the deck has gated entry at both ends.
WHAT’S NEARBY Woods Bay offers several eating and pub options either within walking distance or a very short drive.

perfect homebase for the flathead valley
we stayed here for a work trip up in bigfork, kalispell, and whitefish in september 2023 and the house was better than we ever could’ve imagined! the house was impeccably clean and well stocked so we felt right at home. the soaking tub was an absolute highlight and really helped to relax after a long day of work. the wrap around patio was a perfect place for our morning coffee! the only two pieces of feedback for improvement that i have are that the knives were dull and that it would be nice to have a dog bed for furry friends since the furniture is so nice we didn’t want to let ours up. we would absolutely stay here again the next time we come to the area!
Beautiful and roomy home with large yard and deck minutes from lake and village of Bigfork
Our family of three adults and two dogs stayed for a month during final phase of our whole house remodel nearby. We felt very much at home - interior of home is nicely appointed to accommodate a small group comfortably - large dining table and another nearby for dining or use as a desk (I set up my desktop computer there for our stay), kitchen tableware and cookware well-stocked, washer/dryer that were clean and operated well, bedrooms and baths nicely decorated and comfortable - like a home away from home. WiFi access worked well so I was able to conduct all internet business, including zoom meetings without issue throughout the stay. After I'd stayed the first week alone with my dogs, we did have a windstorm that knocked power out overnight on the day the rest of my family was arriving - the owner had thoughtfully provided small lanterns that saw us through that adventure and power was restored during the night as we slept. We were very grateful for that as I had only brought along a small flashlight. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to others as a very nice alternative to staying in a hotel for a trip to the Flathead Valley.

This place was beautiful and convenient for our 4th of July holiday week.

Family gathering
We loved the clean and spacious feeling, the close proximity to special places. We loved the handy gadgets as well as the ease of coming and going. We felt safe, secure and well cared for. Grateful to have stayed there with the family and furbabies! Thank you so much!
Great location and property. Kids enjoyed playing in the yard. Missed having a fire pit for s’mores!
Would recommend letting future guests know about septic system and lack of fire pit.

Lovely home
While not situated on the water, this is a well-appointed home and made for easy local exploration. Vacasa(the property managers) were fairly responsive although everyone should make a note not to have a smoke detector in a locked room, because when they start chirping…..
Nice place in Woods Bay, deer in yard, no AC even tho vacasa said there was.
This is a super cute house, nicely done, great kitchen and master bedroom and bath. Very much enjoyed watching deer family of two fawns, doe and dad come to yard every evening to visit the Apple tree. There is alot to do within walking distance: lunch, drinks or dinner at the Saddlehorn, acasual open air lunch, drinks and dinner place overlooking Woods Bay, and also the fishing access on Flathead lake at the end of the same road. Also Mountain Lodge with two restaurants, and the funky gas stationn store next to it is worth a visit. All a 5-15 minute walk from house. Watched a magnificent storm the last night we were there, lost power for the rest of our stay, made it an adventure! Only feedback I would give owners is that Vacasa mgmt does not know your place, told me it had air when it did not. Was a very hot week, and we made it work by opening window and doors at night to let in cooler air, and closed up tight in am, as to keep out 95 degree heat. Suggest that screen doors be put on on 3 main floor doors and on kitchen window too, would have made fir a nicer stay, as would have room darkening window shades. Sorry we couldnt start laundry, there was no power when we left. Thanks for hosting us! Nice place, would stay here again, and hope you dont mind the feedback for possible improvements.
Very nice home and roomy. Kitchen had tons of cookware and utensils, very well stocked.
Never been to this area a
So it was all very beautiful. Cute town, we did a lot of driving as we went to Glacier everyday.

Nice house
This was a very nice and comfortable house for our family of 6. Thank you!
What a great place! It's conveniently located to parks, trails, and good places to eat and shop. We walked from our front door to Flathead Lake every morning and walked there in the evening to watch the sunset. It was very quiet area, and the house had everything we could possible need or want. Can't wait to go back.
This house was great for a family of 4. It was well appointed and clean. The beds are comfortable and we love the Woods Bay location. It’s close to Papa’s market for wine beer and beverages. It’s close to Burgertown which is fantastic and Kim the owner is so gracious. Rosa’s pizza is close too and the grocery is just a couple more minutes up the road. The property owner and the manager were lovely and we had a great stay. We just bought a house in Bigfork but otherwise would definitely stay here again! Thank you for hosting us.

Bigfork Getaway review
Loved all the little thoughtful notes, directions and provisions made so we could bring our little dog. We had absolutely no needs that were not provided for. I would not rent in August though due to no air conditioning. Thanks for the lovely location!

Exactly as photo shows
Really very nice home with a great location. Please note there is no a/c and it happened to be a very hot week. All else is great.
The renting of the property was easy had I been familiar with Vacasa I would of gone through them and saved on the VRBO fee’s.
The property itself was very nice, Master on the main floor was amazing. Master bedroom was quite large and the en suite bathroom was large and had everything you would want. Only suggestion would be to consider a King bed in that room.
The kitchen was very nice, only issue we had was no decent sized frying pans and we had thought there was a BBQ on-site which would have been nice.
Only other suggestion would be to have a dust pan in the cleaning closet, would of made sweeping the wood floor a lot easier.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay with family and the home served our needs. The home was located close to Flathead Lake State Park, and within an hour or so of Whitefish. Had we not been dealing with the poor air quality and smoke from. Canadian and PNW fires we would have ventured to Glacier National Park. Would definitely consider again on our next venture to Western Montana.
