This house was perfect! It was clean, cozy, fully stocked and walking distance to downtown whitefish which was so nice. We had no issues during our 8 day stay. The host, Wendy, always responded right away to any questions we had and provided us with helpful information about whitefish and the surrounding areas. I definitely recommend this house!
