About this property

Mountain retreat.

Share our little piece of paradise in the Flathead Valley!

Luxurious mountain retreat. Observe the moose that winter in this area, listen for howling wolves, watch eagles soar. Hang out on the 600 ft private deck to star gaze and observe the fabulous Milky Way. If you get lucky the amazing northern lights may put on a show!! Best spot in the house for the meteor showers!

Private entrance to the 1100 square ft, open floor plan that boasts comfy and luxurious king and queen bed. Great linens and pillows!

Well appointed kitchenette with apartment size fridge, induction burner, coffee maker, blender, electric skillet, crockpot and microwave. Gas grill for BBQing on the deck.

Large, private bath offers organic, hand crafted soap and fluffy bath sheets . Lots of hot water!

Stable and strong Wi-Fi and great cell phone service! TV and DVD player and movies available for those nights when you just want to chill.

Spend the day hiking in Glacier National Park. Go swimming, kayaking, boating or fishing on one of the 10 plus, pristine mountain lakes within a short distance of the property.

Montana Stay

This property was awesome. The owners are super friendly but stay out of the way unless you want to chat. There was wildlife around and the surrounding forest was beautiful. This house was super clean and very close to Little Bitter Root Lake, MacGregor and Little McGregor Lake. There is a cute little coffee and bakery down the road and a great little bar and cafe.

Wonderful Montana Home

The apartment is huge with two very comfy beds at either end. Very quiet and peaceful with a wonderful deck and grill. Very good property for pets. Sara provided great attention to detail with great bedding, towels, comfy sofa, area guide magazines, etc. Having a kitchen w/ good sized fridge was very convenient. Would stay again if in area.

Home Away From Home

This suite was wonderful. It was very clean and well stocked with every need. The suite was much larger than we expected. It had a sleep number bed and all the comforts of home. It was so nice to come back from a day of sightseeing and relax in the quiet of the woods. The owner was very friendly and helpful in giving us info about sights to see, directions and places to eat. We had a great time!

Very clean—very secluded!

We enjoyed our 3-day stay at this loft apartment near Marion, MT. It was our access point for Glacier National Park which actually was just over an hour from the rental to the West Glacier entrance. Marion is very small with only one bar/restaurant (Hitching Post) and a tiny convenience store attached to a gas station. So going to eat requires a trip to Kalispell (about 20 minutes) which is a nice town. We had a couple of issues—all of which were our fault for not checking out all amenities. There is no AC which actually turned out to be a problem because we arrived in MT in the middle of an unusual heat wave. Sleeping in the loft was difficult, even with fans and a swamp cooler. Also, we failed to realize that this rental did not have a washer/dryer or stove. We had assumed we could wash clothes when we got there only to have to hunt for a distant laundromat (there is one quite near but it wasn’t listed on google). We needed to reheat pizza which isn’t good if reheated in microwave (provided). But these issues were our fault—the rental did not list stove, washer/dryer or AC. The deck is lovely but was too hot in evening because it gets afternoon sun during this heatwave. Also there are 20 steps to get to the rental which can be daunting for senior citizens who have a lot of luggage because staying in MT for a month. The rental was VERY CLEAN and the host, Sara, very kindly responded quickly to all concerns. We also loved seeing all the cute, friendly black bunnies who congregated around our car.
