We loved this cabin - beautiful setting in the woods and just secluded enough to feel very private! We spent lots of time in the backyard with pond, hot tub, and covered dining area. Very clean, responsive owner, close to the park - would definitely rent again!

Staying at this magical place was the adventure of a lifetime for our family. The property is beautifully maintained and the hosts are wonderful. My grandsons declared our three days there to be the best days of their lives. The house and waterfront are peacefully secluded and our stay exceeded our expectations in every way.

This cabin was comfy and perfect for us. Nothing hoity-toity about it…just simple living.Kids loved the pond (and dad too), along with the hot tub, and being tucked in the meadow was super quiet and secluded. The distance to Kalispell and Whitefish makes it easy to go to either, and GNP too!

The house was spectacular. Exactly what we needed after a day of hiking in glacier. The house had everything you could think of; it was well thought out and decorated. The kids absolutely loved swimming and paddling the pond when we got home and the adults enjoyed the hot tub under the stars. Carl was an excellent host and answered messages promptly. We can’t wait to come back!

Our stay at Carl and Joy’s cabin was incredible! We have 4 young boys and the pond was a trip highlight. The setting was perfect, easy access to all the surrounding areas, but was still a secluded setting. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The hot tub was really nice to have in the evenings when it was a little chilly. 10 out of 10!
