About this property

True Ski In/Out | Steps to Chair 3 · Hot Tub · Treehouse Magic · PS5

Steps from Chair 3 at Whitefish Mountain Resort, Hope Slope Treehouse feels like the mountain house you would have dreamed up as a kid, except someone actually built it. Ski home in winter. Hike from the mountain in summer. Then come back to trees woven into the architecture, walls of windows, hand-painted murals, hidden spaces, a starry turret and a hot tub overlooking Hope Slope. Beautiful, playful and a little magical, this is the kind of place that becomes part of your Montana story.



💫 The Highlights



Some places are where you stay while you make memories; Hope Slope Treehouse has a way of becoming part of them.



1 enclosed King bedroom · open King + 3 sets of Twin XL bunks · 8 beds total · 4 full bathrooms · sleeps 10



✓ True ski-in / ski-out, steps from Chair 3

✓ Private hot tub overlooking Hope Slope

✓ One-of-a-kind treehouse architecture spanning 4 floors

✓ Fourth-story turret hideaway with twinkle lights + mountain views

✓ Built-in Twin XL bunks with privacy curtains

✓ Hand-painted Montana murals by a local Whitefish artist

✓ Fully stocked kitchen made for cooking real meals

🏠 Inside the Treehouse



There is something fun to discover on every floor.



Trees weave through the architecture, bears hide in unexpected places and Montana scenes spill across hand-painted walls. The winding staircase connects 4 floors filled with interesting places to land, from the fireside living room and downstairs game space to quiet corners, built-in bunks and that tiny turret at the very top.



Everyone seems to find a favorite.



🍳 A Kitchen Meant to Be Used



This kitchen was stocked for people who actually cook. Make a real dinner, feed everyone before first chair or fire up the Weber grill year-round. Between the dining table and kitchen seating, there is a seat for all 10 when it's time to eat.



🛏 Sleeping in a Treehouse



The sleeping arrangement is part of what makes this house so much fun.

Upper Open Loft

Fourth-Floor Turret

Climb the ladder from the loft to a tiny hideaway surrounded by windows beneath a ceiling of twinkle lights. Apparently treehouses don't care how old you are.



✓ 4 full bathrooms total

✓ Fresh linens, pillows + extra blankets



🌲 Right Outside



Being this close to the mountain makes coming and going wonderfully easy, while the walls of windows and hot tub keep Hope Slope very much part of the experience when you're home.



✓ Chair 3 steps away

✓ True ski-in / ski-out

✓ Private hot tub overlooking Hope Slope

✓ Ski storage

✓ Weber gas grill + outdoor dining

👋 Meet Beata



Hi, I'm Beata. I designed Hope Slope Treehouse and personally manage every reservation. I care a probably unreasonable amount about the homes I manage and the people who trust me with their vacations. My goal here was to preserve everything wonderfully quirky about the treehouse while making it comfortable, thoughtful and genuinely fun to stay in. Small things are automated for speed, but when something actually matters, you get me.

Beautiful relaxing Montana views

We had a girls trip planned and wanted to all go to a location none of us had been and whitefish hit the mark. The house was as expected and beautiful. Location was great and close to town. House was clean and had a great stocked kitchen for us to use for meals and cook at home. In addition the house had the coziest fire place in the living to enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The host was very responsive and helpful when anything came up. Thank you for a great stay and making our weekend trip special

Our week-long visit to the Hope Slope Treehouse at Whitefish Mountain Resort was one of our best trips ever! We were a group of four (2 couples). This home was set up perfectly for us! It had everything we truly needed including bear spray to take with us on our mountain hikes! Beata, our host, is exceptional and was so helpful in our communications both before and during our trip! Her suggestions and recommendations were all spot on and we are glad we took her advice on things to do and see as well recommended restaurants to visit!This home is fully stocked with everything you need and its location is right in the heart of the Village at Whitefish Mountain Resort! The town of Whitefish and Whitefish lake are only about a 10 minute ride down the Mountain. This was our first trip to Montana and we plan to make many more now going forward! Thanks so much for being a wonderful host, Beata!

The house is amazing as you can read from all the prior reviews. There’s a lot of space for everyone to spread out. The decks and the hot tub are fantastic. My kids and I both loved the starry night turret.Its the kind of place where if you were staying for 3 nights you would wish you staying for 5. If you’re staying for 5 nights you wish you were staying for 10, etc., etc. The only downside is you will have to drive into town for most things and that ranges from 15-20 min depending on traffic and conditions. Glacier is also a pretty decent haul taking about an hour plus wait times at the entrance. So that can be a 90 min one way adventure.

Beautiful Slopeside Home

Loved our stay. Property was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Love the decor and mountain lodge vibe. Definitely made good use of all of the kitchen appliances, including coffee pot, tea kettle, crockpot, electric fry pan, blender, as well as the outdoor grill. Good selection of games and puzzles. Great location-loved watching skiers on lazier mornings as well as night skiers in the evenings. We’ll be back!

The best ski in and ski out experience!!

The property is a great ski in and ski out. The kitchen is very well stocked! One thing we really enjoyed was the 4 bathrooms all having showers! This was great so all the girls could get ready at the same time which made it easier to get on the slopes early! And we got to bring our dog which might have been the best part!

Unique and fun location

The property was amazing, clean, and well maintained. The kitchen had everything one would need to prepare and serve meals to a large party. We had a great time exploring Glacier NP, playing on the beaches of Whitefish, watching local wildlife, and relaxing in the hot tub. This is a great location even when the slopes are closed.

About the host

Hosted by Beata Lorinc

Host profile image
Hi — I'm Beata. I'm a professional host, Penn State alum, mom to two boys, and someone who genuinely believes places shape experiences. My family is originally from Poland — yes, I speak Polish — and over the years we've lived in different states and even a few different countries. One thing I've learned is that people rarely remember trips because of square footage or checklists. They remember how it felt. The ski trip where everyone stayed up later than planned. The place the kids still talk about years later. The unexpected little moments that somehow become the ones you remember. That's probably why hospitality became so important to me.

Why they chose this property

Hope Slope Treehouse felt special the moment I saw it. True ski-in / ski-out properties exist in Whitefish. Beautiful mountain homes exist too. But very few places feel like stepping into a storybook. Curved architecture, tree elements, walls of windows, hand-painted Montana murals, hidden spaces, and little details around every corner somehow make this place feel like an actual treehouse brought to life. The mountain itself may bring people here. The experience of staying here is what they remember.

What makes this property unique

Hope Slope Treehouse quietly solves a lot of things guests care about. Chair 3 is steps away, so skiing doesn't require shuttles, parking lots, or hauling gear around. Summer brings scenic lift rides, mountain biking, hiking, ziplining, and resort activities right outside your door. You also get four full bathrooms — which makes mornings and evenings dramatically easier for larger groups — plus a private hot tub overlooking Hope Slope, a gourmet kitchen built for real cooking, and spaces designed for gathering after the mountain day ends. And then there's the turret. Every group eventually discovers it. Every group fights over it. Turns out treehouse magic doesn't really care how old you are.
