Enjoy ice skating, snowmobiling, and downhill skiing in nearby Whitefish in the winter. In the summer months, Flathead County is your playground! Hike up trails that lead to waterfalls, ride ziplines, go paintballing, horseback riding, or white water rafting. Don't forget to pick delicious huckleberries while you're here!
Upon entry, you'll be met with a bright interior and a warm feeling of welcome throughout the place. Keep warm with a rustic-looking gas stove in the living area, carry on great conversations with loved ones, and stream movie marathons on the large TV. Create culinary charms in the full kitchen, equipped with a quaint dining table and all the cupboard room you'll ever need. With four beds, there's more than enough room for everyone to get a comfortable night's rest from the day's activities. Witness spectacular sunsets while roasting marshmallows at the firepit while the stars come out to dot the sky.

Very good

I was a little concerned at first because there were not very many reviews but we were pleasantly surprised! Great location for visiting Glacier-approximately 15 minute drive to west gate. The accommodations were cozy & comfortable. Our husbands loved the outdoor space by the river. We would definitely stay again & highly recommend!

Better than good
Very clean and comfortable. The covered patio and the fire pit overlooking the river were the highlight.

The location is great, as was the outside (porch, yard, river access)
Really enjoyed the stay with a family of two kids and included were grandparents. It was very easy access to the national park which we spent 5 days at. Right along the river is very nice in the morning and evening. Only comment is the lighting was not working in certain areas of the home and it was dark inside.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
It was a nice cozy older home, a little musty but not too bad, as far as the home goes it was quiet, cozy and comfortable, I can’t say that I have slept better anywhere else, nice little backyard with lawn and river access. We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely return again if the opportunity presents itself

Very comfortable accommodations
Very comfortable accommodations. Did not like the keyless lock system - a little too complicated for locking and unlocking. Would have been nice to have instructions prior to arrival or upon arrival.

Okay, not a riverfront property
Don’t let the pics fool you. The river access is blocked by neck deep brush.

The house is in a great location, and the property was nice being close to the river. The furnishings inside were clean, but pretty old. Overall it was fine for our stay. It was nice to have 2 bathrooms since there were 2 couples staying there. I would have loved more hooks in the bathrooms to hang the towels. And the water pressure was not good. It took forever to get the soap out of my hair when taking a shower.

Do not waste your money here. Older property. Had safety issues, and Vacassa was unresponsive and slow to respond. Managers did not follow up.

This house was listed as 2 bathrooms and bedrooms having queen beds. Not so. One bedroom only had a full size bed and with over 6 ft tall people, this would have been a deal breaker if the listing had been accurate. But instead we had to deal with it. Not a great nights sleep. The bathroom located for this bedroom was absolutely filthy and disgusting. The shower curtains were stained and dirty and the stall so small there was no way to keep them from sticking to you. The house smelled bad, like a musty old house. The windows were so dirty you couldnt see out of them and some had broken seals so they were fogged over. The house had been added onto so many times there were multiple risers in the floor, surprised nobody did a face plant. We couldnt use the outdoor grill as it was full of grease and looked like it had never been cleaned. Multiple calls to the property manager were never properly addressed, actually we're still waiting for resolution. Bottom line- find somewhere else, run away from this one unless the aforementioned issues dont bother you. Pros though- the outside area had a great space, location was good.
