Nestled in the woods and on a quiet lake, our large home on 8 acres is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of town. Enjoy the privacy and beauty of Montana while still being 10 minutes from downtown Whitefish. Located inside a gated community, you will find peace and quiet here and have time to explore the lake on paddle boards, hike on private walking trails and relax. Our home has 6 bedrooms, 4 of which have king beds. The main level of the home has an open floor plan with 4 bedrooms, and the daylight basement has the remaining two bedrooms along with an open floor plan with a bar, mini fridge, coffee maker, microwave, tv, darts, card table and fusball table. The large kitchen upstairs on the main level is an entertainer’s dream, stocked with everything you will need to make a memorable vacation. Crock pots, standing mixer, coffee maker, cheese fondu set, baking pans, microwave, spices etc. A bonus room above the garage has exercise equipment including a treadmill, stair machine, a stationary bike and a spin bike. This space is a great space for kids to play with games and toys and also has a tv for movie nights. Down at the lake there is a dock and swim ladder and our lake is much warmer than the surrounding deeper lakes. Paddle boards and fishing rods (great fishing right off our dock) and a fire pit for s’mores.

This was the most amazing property I have ever visited. We enjoyed water sports on the lake, fishing from the dock, and fires at night. The house was perfect for our family with kids spaces and places for adults to relax. We were close to town. We golfed, whitewater rafted, and hiked in Glacier National Park. We didn't want to leave.
The house was absolutely wonderful. Everyone had a room with a very comfortable bed in it. The scenery from the back porch was so peaceful and relaxing. The wildlife that walked the property every day were magnificent. This house is a family friendly property, whose pictures do not do it justice. We loved staying there a reconnecting with family. The owners were easy to reach and super helpful. We would love to go back and spend another week or two.
My extended family of all ages had a great time at the house. The location is great, the house lovely and very family and kid friendly! We had a great time on the lake and around Whitefish and Glacier. This is great place for large families !
This is the perfect vacation rental! The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed and more. The setting is spectacular, especially the lake. We caught (and released) a lot of fish and truly enjoyed the quietude as we paddle boarded. There is a serene tranquility that surrounds this home, and we were even fortunate to see a few deer roaming freely on our early morning walks.
The house was equipped with everything we could possibly need during our stay. The spacious and well-appointed bedrooms provided ample comfort and privacy for our large group; and the living areas were comfortable and inviting. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary appliances and utensils, allowing us to prepare delicious meals together.
The home is also very close to town and Glacier National Park, so we were able to explore the charming local shops and restaurants in both Whitefish and Kalispell, as well as spend a day exploring the park.
I must also mention that the host of this rental is very communicative and accommodating. They were prompt in their responses and provided us with all the necessary information to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay. Their hospitality and attentiveness truly added an extra layer of comfort to our experience, and we are grateful for the exceptional service.
This rental exceeded our expectations! I highly recommend it and hope to return for another truly memorable and rejuvenating experience.
