Secluded, Serene, Spectacular
Those three words really describe this beautiful "cabin in the woods". This was the first time that we had been to this part of Montana and this was the perfect place to stay for lots of reasons. It is not far from Glacier National Park, and it is very close to the town of Whitefish, which we found charming with lots of good places to eat. Mikki was a wonderful communicator from the start and she was ALWAYS available to answer questions and make good suggestions on things to do and places to eat. And it is the best equipped VRBO home that we have rented. Mikki has thought of everything! If you are looking at this property, rent it! You won't be disappointed. And when you are there, be sure to read the story in the magazine on the coffee table about what made Mikki and Bill want to retire in this area, and all of the planning that went into making this such an extraordinary cabin. It was obviously a real labor of love, and it is a true work of art! This is not just a property, it is a home, and that's exactly how it feels from the time you walk in the door!

Mountain Paradise
Mikki & Bills cabin is absolutely perfect!! What a fabulous weekend for our anniversary getaway. The scenery is unbelievable & so secluded yet a short drive to town. Dog sledding close by & ordering door dash is perfect because you’ll never want to leave the cabin! Everything you could ever need. We can’t wait to return for a 3rd trip

About the host

Hosted by Mikki Lukens

Host profile image
My husband and I are originally from Ohio. We have always enjoyed the great outdoors! We enjoy hosting and meeting our guests from all over the country and the world and sharing with them our little piece of paradise!

Why they chose this property

My husband and I chose to retire in Whitefish Montana because we love the area and love being active outdoors. We built the cabin in 2007 out of reclaimed wood acquired from 170 year old Ohio bank barns. The cabin is surrounded by Flathead National Forest which gives you the feeling of being alone with nature, yet it is only a short drive from the cabin to downtown Whitefish, Whitefish Mountain Ski Resort and Glacier National Park!

What makes this property unique

Waking up each morning with mountain views and wildlife walking on the property is something you never get tired of!
