Excellent property

Everything was top-notch quality, well stocked kitchen, and quiet bedrooms. It’s an hour drive to glacier national Park, but worth it. Be familiar with how to use propane tanks for outdoor heaters and fire pit.

Beautiful mountaintop lodge

Large, beautiful home with breathtaking views of the mountain. It was the perfect stay for a large group of fly fishers as the ample seating (both indoors and out on the balconies) provided the space to gather and spend time together after a day on the water.

A Must Book!

This is an incredible house that was absolutely a great fit for a large group. The very large kitchen, dining table, and living room with two perfectly sized decks attached made for a very comfortable common area allowing plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. Each of the bedrooms has been tastefully decorated, and provided plenty of privacy and space. The view is stunning. This house was very well stocked with everything you need to host a large group. 10 out of 10. We would love to come back and stay again!
