We’re so happy you loved the location and found the condo beautiful and exceptionally well appointed. Hearing it called the “best appointed vacation rental ever” truly means so much to us.

We had a wonderful time and the house didn’t lack any amenities. The only issue we had was parking for one night which was due to a downtown event. We were thankful we got to enjoy this warm and cozy place.

Amazing stay!
We really enjoyed our stay! You can’t beat the location, you can walk to everything in downtown Whitefish. You’re only 30 minutes from West Glacier. We really enjoyed all the walking trails close by. The beds are so comfortable and the kids loved the bunk room! The hot tub is wonderful after a long day at Galcier. Would absolutely stay again!

Our family had a great stay at this property! Beautiful condo filled with amenities galore! Condo was very clean, beds were so comfortable after long days in the outdoors, and just a short walk to the many restaurants and shops of Whitefish. We appreciated the beach chairs and towels to use at Whitefish beach. We had a great vacation! We would definitely stay here again!!

Winter stay
This was a great in town option for a ski trip. The Accommodations were clean, well furnished, and within walking distance to most anything you needed in the downtown area. Great layout for two family trip because the bunk room came in very handy for four kids. The hot tub was ideal after a long day on the slopes and left nothing to be desired in terms of heat. The host was very communicative and any issues that arose were handled in a timely manner. We would most definitely stay here again.
