About this property

Elegant Montana Home 3 BR w/ Sauna & Hot Tub - Premier Fishing Spot + Privacy

This iconic Montana Riverhouse is situated in the heart of Flathead Valley and convenient to Glacier National Park, Flathead Lake, Whitefish and Kalispell Airport.

From the deck, the hot tub, fire pit or hammock, your family and friends can watch eagles and ospreys fish the river with you. Geese and ducks are plentiful in Swan River's cool, sparkling babbling water with deer and wild turkeys sometimes visiting the front yard.

Float down the Swan River on inflatable rafts and tubes provided plus get some exercise on the four adult 21 speed mountain bikes, Play croquet and enjoy other fun outdoor games to promote family memories.

Quiet and tranquil, this home is a perfect base for day trips to explore all that Montana has to offer. The artist village of Bigfork is close with galleries, restaurants, breweries, shopping, golf, live theater, horseback riding and tours on Flathead Lake. Water recreational sports like whitewater rafting, diving, sailing and boating means there is something for everyone close by for every member of the family.

Glacier National Park, arguably one of our most scenic national parks, is less than an hour away. Also nearby are Crane Mountain and Jewel Basin, popular for hiking and spectacular scenery. The Bob Marshall Wilderness, a little farther away, with day or overnight pack trips into pristine wilderness.

The home features a king bed in a huge, separate master suite that sports oversized tub and cedar sauna. Queen beds are in the second bedroom and the spacious loft. The gourmet kitchen has hardwood cabinetry and granite counter tops and is fully equipped with everything a chef requires. Expansive floor plan provides spectacular water and wilderness views from every room.

The living room offers a gas fireplace overlooking the yard, river and forest. Linens and towels are provided in this immaculate and clean home.

Summer regional promotions provide a lot of entertaining options including music festivals, rodeos and farmers markets. Early August means that for two or three weeks there are world famous Flathead Lake Cherries for purchase from any of a number of roadside stands. Shop the Ferndale Market just minutes away --- a complete outdoors outfitter. Winter means cross country skiing, snowmobiling and all recreational activities that are this area's winter wonderland.

Lake County
This was one of our best vacations. The house was so beautiful and accomodating. The owners, Bob and his wife went out of their way to provide us with rafts, bikes, outdoor games etc. The view of the river everyday from the house was spectacular! It was truly a very special place for us!

Can't wait to go back!
This house on Swan River is the best rental we have had in 10 years of coming to the Bigfork area! The kitchen was stocked with everything you might need for making meals along with a pantry full of helpful items. The house was clean and had plenty of extra blankets, towels, and linens for our week-long stay. Each day we enjoyed watching the ducks and deer out in they yard and river, along with friendly people floating by the house. Access to kayaks and tubes for enjoying the river was a definite bonus.

Better than expected
Pictures can be deceiving, but not this time. It was better than advertised. House was spotless, yard was manicured, Bob was the perfect gentleman. Had a black bear visit the back yard! Super cool! Big Fork is a great small town. Make sure to get a burger at the A Bar just down the road. Only an hour to the entrance of Glacier State Park. Would definitely stay here when we go back. Thanks Bob.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Hansen

Host profile image
Long time resident of Southern California I have spent much of the last three years in Big Fork with my daughter who has lived here for 6 years. I love the quietness, the natural beauty and the closeness to nature which is missing in city living. My purpose is to make opportunities for families to experience the beauty, awesomeness and order of nature. I will be making upgrades to the property and furnishings but these photos reflect the home as it is at this point in time!

Why they chose this property

The home is so comfortable and in an idyllic setting surrounded by the river, trees and wildlife. Yet close to town. A perfect base for exploring Glacier National Park, Flathead Lake and the galleries, shops and restaurants in Bigfork. Or relaxing, reading and watching the wonders of nature.
