Great House!

We had a great time visiting family and snowboarding. Very convenient location to do anything in Whitefish. Owners and property manager went above and beyond - setting up a Christmas tree, leaving a fully stocked fridge, and plowing the driveway as soon as it snowed. Thanks again for a great stay!

Great rental

We stayed for 5 nights at New Years and were very happy with the house. It is exceptionally well stocked and we found everything we needed including a tool to cut off a padlock in some luggage when we couldn’t find our key. The location is great—near town and the ski mountain. It’s well furnished, comfy and cozy. The owner is very responsive and seeking of ways to improve the renters experience. We’d definitely stay again!!!

All the comforts of home

We loved our stay at this home. It was spacious and comfortable, especially the outdoor patio. The location was ideal, close to Glacier, right outside of the town of Whitefish, and close enough to walk to the lodge for cocktails. The owner was diligent on any questions or concerns. Fenced in yard for pets was such a convenience.

A great location for our family ski holiday! Close to the mountain, town and ski shuttle bus. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. The kitchen and house was stocked with everything we needed. Nice to have garage for vehicle and ski storage. Owners checked in prior to arrival, on arrival and during our stay to see if we needed anything. A great week!

Perfect Place

First Stu and Jo are very responsive owners that ensure your stay meets all expectations. The house is furnished with everything one needs to include an extremely well stocked kitchen and all appliances down to the high end Keurig. The fenced in back yard along with the separate side yard provided excellent areas for our two dogs. It’s located in a very friendly neighborhood which is close to town. We look forward to staying again in our future visits.

Have often written in reviews would definitely stay again .. and this time WE DID! Stu and Jo are the epitome of hosts and the house is awesome as well. As the last time we stayed we brought our doggos and we added two friends that went skiing with us. They were impressed too.

Perfect location and size for our family of 4 + dog

We had a wonderful time in Whitefish. The location of the house was perfect for skiing at the mountain as well as dinner and shopping in town. The owner had just finished a refresh of the house with new floors and updates. There were a few minor things that had not been completed because of the refresh but those were addressed promptly and did not diminish our experience, We hope to return in the summer and would stay again. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

I was fortunate enough to be able to stay at this property for nearly 6 weeks and had a wonderful experience. The listing was exactly as described and very convenient to downtown Whitefish, Big Mountain, Whitefish Lake, and Glacier National Park. The home has a very nice layout with two guestrooms sharing a bath and the primary having privacy. The living and kitchen areas were open and felt very roomy! The owner welcomed my two German Shepherds who had the best time – the fenced in back yard is lovely and offered plenty of room for them to play. One of our favorite things to do was sit outside and enjoy the view and cool mountain air! The owner was extremely communicative and answered any questions I had immediately – ideal host! Overall, my experience was extremely positive, and I would love to stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful time in Whitefish!
