The house was great for our 2 families. The adults slept upstairs and the 4 teenagers downstairs. It was very roomy and the kitchen was fully stocked. The ski resort is only 7 minutes away and downtown whitefish is really wonderful with lots of shops and restaurants. They even cleaned the walkway for us when it snowed!
Lots of deer!

Great place to stay with large groups. Lots of room and large common areas. It is well supplied with aĺl the basic needs for your stay. We enjoyed time with family having meals together, relaxing on the porch, and playing games in the large family room. Whitefish is a great town for shopping and dining, it is also an easy drive to other areas of interest. We spent time hiking, biking, swimming, going to Flathead Lake and Glacier National Park.

Great home for our large party of 10! Our only issue was that the house didn't have air conditioning and we happened to be there when temps were in the 90s. I realize that's probably not normal but just an FYI if you are there in the summer. I'm also not blaming the owner - it's our fault for not realizing that to be the case. Otherwise it was great for us; the amenities are great and the resort being so close was awesome as well. Even in the summer, it was a great place to visit and soclose for us to visit Glacier. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful property.

Woodland Retreat

Wonderful large lodge home with plenty of room for our group of 7. We loved the open great room with cozy fireplace. The kitchen offered plenty of room and was fully equipped. The outdoor decks offered a quiet place to relax amongst the trees. All of the bedrooms were comfotable and large. We enjoyed the clubhouse with pool and fantastic outdoor hot tub and patio. You couldn't ask for better accommodations. I have been traveling to Whitefish and Glacier NP for years for the natural beauty of the mountains and numerous hiking trails. Such a great location with a short drive into town and 30 minutes from West Glacier.

Beautiful mountain home

This house was amazing! We had 2 families stay in the home for a ski vacation. We particularly loved that the bedrooms were on different floors than the main gathering areas (living area and kitchen). Everything was updated and immaculate. Bonus, the house was decorated for Christmas! We have never rented during the holidays when the house had a decorated Christmas tree! A very nice touch to an already cozy home. Highly recommend this rental. The drive to the mountain was approximately 10 minutes.

Winter Wonderland Vacation!

The home itself was ideal, and it definitely felt like we were in a winter wonderland cabin with great amenities. That said, there was some initial trouble getting into the house with the touchpad keyless entry and being unable to reach anyone about it for quite some time. However, the property management folks were very apologetic and compensated us for the inconvenience. Our only other complaint was some sort of bug infestation in the master bedroom. It was sprayed, although that did not immediately resolve the issue, which was very unfortunate.

Misleading listing

The listing implied that it could sleep 12 people. I guess that was true, but I incorrectly assumed it also meant the 10 of us staying would be able to take hot showers. Unfortunately, the hot water would only support about two to three showers a day. I notified the management company and they said a technician would be sent out but I never heard from or saw anyone in the 8 days we stayed.

This stay was just ok compared to previous rental experiences and I think it has a lot to do with it being managed by a company vs property owners being more involved. Pros:Great amount of space for our family group of 10. Tons of games and puzzles to keep kids of varying ages entertained. Great starter supplies and selection of seasonings/spices on the kitchen. Cons:Listing is confusing on the bathroom situation. There are four full baths. Two on the third floor with tub/shower combo and two on the bottom floor with just showers. We were left wondering if it was three full baths with a half bath until we got there. No bath on second floor, where common spaces are. A lot of stairs, especially if you’re staying on the third floor. Water heater mentioned in another review months ago has still not been remedied. We had to space out showers and discuss it every day for everyone to get warm showers. The place needs some general TLC. It’s clean, but in need of repairs. Mainly windows. Temps were mild while we were there and the top floor got hot! We could only open half the windows up there due to either being broken or not having a screen. Broken towel hooks, doors and knobs that need adjusting, etc. Side note: expect to pay at least 25 if you leave something behind. That’s Natural Retreats minimum shipping fee, no matter size of the item apparently.

Ptarmigan village

We enjoyed our stay in Ptarmigan village. The house itself was gorgeous. The location is great - close to both Whitefish and Big Mountain. We used the Villages’ pool and hot tub daily, and appreciated the private beach access on Whitefish Lake. The only downside was loud dogs barking early in the morning next door. Overall would highly recommend this property!

Perfect for family reunion

We travel every year and have never stayed at a home with such a complete kitchen. Didn't even need to bring our slow cooker. The rooms are furnished exactly as pictured and very clean. With 4 families totaling 11 people, there was room for all of us to eat at the large table. Yet with many rooms and balconies, we could spread out comfortably. Thank you for opening your home to us. Nobody was ready to leave at the end of our 5 days.
