There aren't many places where you feel you are in the mountains (great views from the deck) yet you can walk to town and are just a block from the Safeway. You really don't feel like you are in the city. Grandkids loved the tether ball, the yard, and access to the river where they tubed. We hiked in Glacier (half hour from the entrance), enjoyed the Tuesday Farmer's Market, the rodeo at the Blue Moon and Huckleberry Days just to name just a few of the activities in Whitefish and surrounding area. The location and amenities in the house couldn't have been better,. House is well stocked and we took advantage of the grill. This was our third summer in Whitefish and we would definitely stay here again.
