Log Home Guest House – Relax in Luxury Private Estate Close to Glacier Whitefish

Your Search is Over! You owe it to yourself to book and enjoy this stunning custom built log guest house, roughly 1,300 square feet with vaulted ceilings situated on 25 wooded acres with gardens all around. This new listing is owned by experienced VRBO travelers who know what is needed for a comfortable and luxurious stay! The king master suite is downstairs. The queen bedroom and bathroom on the main floor. Walk up the log steps to the loft to find a delightful space for two twin beds.

The log guest house is impeccably clean and features radiant in-floor heating and a gas standing fireplace for cozy winter nights and air conditioning for our warm Montana summers. It is truly an artisan home and has handmade craftsman features throughout. From the custom cut slate kitchen & bathroom floors to the hand forged iron work throughout to the custom built oak and alder furniture with hand carved hounds feet to original artwork on the walls, you will be enveloped with relaxation as soon as you step foot inside. Wireless internet, blue tooth speaker to play your own music, and Dish Network TV are provided. Board games and cards are also available! Outside is a wrap around deck with flowing flower pots everywhere. Enjoy outdoor dining, relaxation on the patio, and croquet/games in the large backyard. Herb garden outside the entry door. 25 acres of woods to explore, snowshoe, and spend quiet time in nature. Borrow our float tubes to float the Whitefish River or hang out at the lake. Browse through our selection of hiking books and local information for creating your BEST time in the Last Best Place!! The guest house shares a wall with the main house. It is completely private with separate entrances.

The home is just minutes away from the FCA airport, Amtrak station, the town of Whitefish, the ski area, many local lakes and golf courses and yet you feel completely immersed in tranquility when you drive down the ¼ mile driveway. Experience serenity from all directions with views of gardens and flowers from the wrap around deck and watch wildlife meander through the forested property and fawns frolicking in the yard.

The Master Suite is generously sized. Located downstairs, walk out the French doors to the outdoor patio to enjoy the glorious flowers and seating area. It features a custom built king size log bed which is appointed with premium bedding, pillows and linens. This room is magical for people that claim they can never sleep. Frequent comments tell us that they have never slept so soundly! There is a tub/shower combination which features heat lamps as you exit in the large master bathroom. There is considerable closet space. There is a 10x make-up mirror attached to the wall.

The second bedroom is on the main floor and features a custom built queen sized log bed which is appointed with premium bedding, pillows and linens. It is just steps from the second bathroom. The cozy room makes you feel tucked in and ready for a good night’s rest. There is a large closet with shelves and hanging bars.

The second bathroom is on the main floor and features a walk in shower. Look out the window to the sun room filled with plants, trees and flowers, especially during the winter. The custom built antique cabinet can hold all of your bathroom accessories easily.

The third bedroom is located in the loft above the kitchen and living room and is accessed through open log steps and is nestled under the vaulted ceilings. Twin beds appointed with premium bedding, pillows and linens are on opposite sides of the loft. Cozy up in the chair to read or day dream and feel like you’re on top of the world.

The kitchen is fully stocked to cook and bake. There are plenty of dishes and glassware for your stay. We stock basic spices, and other cooking supplies that you would only need a small amount in order to prepare your meal. During the summer, the herb garden is outside your front door and fresh fruits and veggies are just a walk down the path to the one acre garden. All are generously shared with guests. There is a crock pot inside to set it and forget it or a gas grill outside on the deck. Appliances include full size oven, microwave and a new full size refrigerator.

The guest house shares a log wall with the main house. There is complete privacy including separate entrances for your stay. The owners are very active in the community and enjoy the outdoors - "playland" as they like to call it. If they're not hiking or skiing, they're puttering in the garden! They are available should you have questions or need anything. Their two golden retrievers will be happy to show you around the property! Rates DO NOT include cleaning fee, admin fee, or damage waiver fee.

Beautiful setting!
Great location as we explored Glacier National Park and Whitefish! It is hard to get more convenient, but at the same time we felt like we were out in nature. Property was clean and well appointed. The hospitality from the owners was outstanding, our kids absolutely loved playing in the yard and their dogs were a big hit with our kids too!

A Great House
Michele and Aldo were wonderful hosts. Excellent communication between us. The house was very clean and Michelle stocked the cabinets with everything you could need. The setting is very private,yet close to Whitefish and about 30 minutes to the park entrance. Couldn"t reccomend it more.

Beautiful property
We had a wonderful stay! The property is a great location with quick access to gas, grocery, etc but also not far from the West entrance to Glacier. We were fortunate to have great weather and able to enjoy the beautifully landscaped property and serene deck. The property owners are incredibly friendly, communicated well, and made the stay comfortable.

Perfect Stay
The property is just stunning with beautiful outdoor spaces and cozy cottage well-appointed with everything a family needs for a vacation. Owners have literally thought of everything, including high end shampoo/conditioner, bear spray, bug spray, and sunscreen. We visited with Aldo daily and got to spend time with their precious pups Maisy and Lulu. The house is close to Whitefish hiking and town and about half an hour to Glacier National Park west entrance. Whitefish is adorable and the surrounding lakes and hiking trails are just stunning. Beds are comfortable and we cooked most meals at the cottage and ate on the beautiful deck. We saw bear, deer, wild turkeys, mountain goats, big horn sheep, Montana squirrels, etc. - Montana is literally the most beautiful place we have ever visited! We were very sad to leave this beautiful estate and the humidity-free Montana weather! We will definitely be back - a week was not long enough! Thank you Shelle and Aldo!

You want to stay here
Very nice property. Friendly and accommodating hosts. Definitely enjoyed our stay. Master suite was great. Well equipped kitchen. Note that there’s no dining table inside and the laundry facilities are shared with the hosts. If those things are not a concern then don’t hesitate to book it. Very convenient to Whitefish and the property is amazing from top to bottom.

A fabulous VRBO!
This place is amazing! The house is just as pictured - clean and absolutely beautiful. It was stocked with anything one would need. Michelle and Aldo were excellent at communicating with us and were willing to help in any way they could. The lawns were stunning. The gardens were so nice to look out at from the balcony. The area was calming and serene. It was fun to watch the deer go by in the morning and nights. You are close enough to drive to downtown Whitefish but when at the house you feel you are so relaxed and away from the hustle and bustle of life. My only regret is that I didn't book the house for longer!

Simply Fabulous!
Everything, to include the host and Mazie, was so enjoyable. The setting, the location, the decor and cleanliness of the cabin was extraordinary…we felt very comfortable. Thanks to the host for snacks, condiments, nice soaps, pleasurable conversations, and garden tour. Bottom line: we didn’t want to leave and hope to return from Virginia in the future.

Wonderful Vacation
We have a wonderful vacation at this Log Cabin! I loved my morning coffee on the upper deck while watching the deer graze in the yard. The log cabin was cozy, clean, and was stocked with the needed essentials. The location was 10 minutes from the town of Whitefish and about 50 minutes from Glacier National Park. Airport was 10 minutes away. Lots of hiking and biking available. We had a lovely boat ride at GNP and just outside park was CODC for fantastic horseback riding. It was a vacation we will never forget. Our hosts were great, just a text away if needed. We hope to visit Whitefish again! Thank you for a great vacation.

Vacation Rental from HELL! NOT A GUEST HOUSE! Stink bugs: EVERYWHERE (sheets, kitchen)
First of all, our family has stayed in VRBO properties all over the world, literally. We've enjoyed VRBO in Mexico, South Africa, ski resorts & I have never left a bad review for a property owner. Never. Ever. I share this only with the intent your family isn't also defrauded. This property is absolutely NOT as described in listing. -Picture #1. Yeah, that's not really where you are staying. There is no "guest house". That's just plain false. You are staying in the owner's house, through a door in a hallway. Have you ever stayed at a hotel with adjoining rooms? It's the same. Who needs privacy, right? (Picture #13, the door to left of the refrigerator is door to rest of main house.) Picture #36- OMG. Seriously. This is NOT where you are staying. Picture #38 & #39? Nope. To say this property is NOT as advertised is the understatement of the century. (However, if you want zero privacy and to stay the weekend with strangers, this is your place.) Other highlights include: In the winter, you will get a real outdoorsy Montana experience because it is so cold inside the property you will need to sleep in your ski coat and hat. And, barely luke warm showers give you that "rugged, authentic ranch-sensation". And, stink bugs! Not dozens. Hundreds and hundreds. Brown marmorated stink bugs. Visibly covering walls. In the kitchen, in the kitchen cabinets, living where the food is stored. In the bedrooms. Bathrooms. Sheets. And, they fly. Just pretend you're camping. Based on this horror movie experience, our family screams to you: BEWARE! The positive reviews on this site cannot be real & we have learned now that fake reviews can be created on the internet. (The photos are definitely not real b/c I witnessed that for myself.) Here's what else you need to know. Go to the last sentence of "About this Rental" on this listing. It reads: "Rates DO NOT include cleaning fee, admin fee, or damage waiver fee." What (we learned) this means is owner holds additional money on your credit card after you pay booking fees & VRBO allows this in small print of VRBO contracts. The VRBO "review rules" won't let me tell you exact dollar amount, but let me assure you, it is A LOT. The owner then invents "issues" relating to your stay: loaded dishwasher but didn't start it, left trash, etc. It's nuts & false & then owner runs your card with HUGE add'l charge AFTER your stay, no authorization, with no proof needed. Still not sure? Google "stink bug infestation" & check "images".

This place was awesome! We were off the beaten path and yet close to town. The place was very clean and equipped with everything you would need and if you needed anything Michelle and Aldo were more than willing to help. Loved the outside deck and their vegetable garden.

Montana log home luxury. Spectacular beauty, gracious hosts.
The property was gorgeous, beyond our expectations. Our hosts Michelle and Aldo gave us a warm welcome and made us feel immediately at home, and were responsive to all our questions and needs. The home was very comfortable, luxuriously appointed and the decor reflected the spirit of Montana and the wildlife abundant there. We enjoyed the lush landscaping on the property and visited with the hosts two golden retrievers who were friendly and eager to be petted! The cabin shares a wall with the hosts home but the home is so well insulated we didn't hear a peep from their side, which is something we had wondered about. At every turn, they anticipated the needs of their guests visiting the area, with plenty of guide books and other items showcasing things to do and places to see in the town and Glacier National Park. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home and would definitely return again should we have the opportunity to visit Whitefish in the future.

Best VRBO Ever, absolutely beautiful
The listing could not capture the beauty experienced first hand. We have rented many over the years but this gem by far exceeded our expectations. We traveled with friends and had plenty of space with ending our days of visiting Glacier and Whitefish to the fully stocked kitchen with dinners on the deck overlooking the beautiful property. We wished we booked more time or even spent more time just relaxing at the home. We are looking forward to returning and will cherish forever.
