This gorgeous custom built log home is roughly 2,800 square feet and has 3 California King sized beds in three large separate bedrooms with 4 extra long twin beds in the loft area. The master suite is downstairs and there are two bedrooms and one large bathroom that spans the width of the house upstairs. The home was built in 1998 and features a very dramatic 30 foot vault that words do not properly describe.
This log home is incredibly open inside with two Big Country wood stoves in one gigantic great room that is open from kitchen to dining room to the two living rooms. It is truly an artisan home and has custom craftsman features throughout. From the huge earth slate kitchen to the gigantic river rock fireplace to the 5 foot wide Wolf stove you will certainly feel right at home as soon as you step foot inside.
The home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms- four sinks (two in each bathroom), three toilets (two in one bathroom and one in the master bathroom) a Jacuzzi tub in the master bath and a separate shower in the master bathroom and a combo tub/shower in the upstairs bathroom.
The house sits on the rear corner of a ten acre lot surrounded by woods in all directions. It is incredibly quiet, private and it is oh so relaxing sitting out on the massive front porch. Due to years of slow Centurylink I have purchased STARLINK and subscribe ($120mo) for lightning fast Wi-Fi for Internet access! The master bedroom has a new HDTV 65" and the second bedroom has a 42" high def flat screen upstairs with Direct TV and DVD/Netflix ect. in master and 200 channels of satellite in both. I purposely do not have a tv out in the common area because that is not why you are up there. I try to create an environment for families and friends to commune over the days adventures or recalling memories of fun past stories or a quiet environment to read and relax in.
The home is also just minutes away from the airport, the town of Whitefish, the ski area, numerous lakes and golf courses and yet you feel completely lost at a secluded lodge when you drive into the home at the back of ten acres and across the street from over 2,000 acres of state owned land. What this means to you and your family and friends is total privacy!
It is very conveniently located off of Fwy 93 and to FCA airport, 10 minutes to downtown Whitefish, 15 minutes to downtown Kalispell, 20 to 30 minutes to Whitefish Mountain Ski Area and 40 minutes to Glacier National Park. If you are coming to my home in winter time it is highly recommended to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle to not only get into and out of my property but to feel safe/be safe on any of the roadways in Montana in the winter.
In the summer you are within 20 minutes of Glacier International Airport, 40 minutes from Glacier National Park, 10 minutes to Big Mountain Golf Course, 10 to Whitefish Golf Courses, 10 minutes to the Whitefish Lake or 30 to the Whitefish Ski Resort. You can walk or mountain bike for miles right from the front door. There is just so much to do in the area!
I do not regulate the ages of the renters in the home but the renter assumes all liability for the actions of those renting the home. The home is not designed for elderly renters or very young children renters. As you can see in all of the photos there are no railings around the front porch and the ground is quite a ways below the deck. There is a new Hand Railing for the front entry steps (five steps or roughly 30" in rise). There is a hammock in the summer months that can be taken down by the renter (at their discretion) but if someone falls out of it they will be hurt and it is renters responsibility. The railing upstairs in the loft should not be played on and there is one bed against the railing that a child could fall over if they were jumping on the bed or rough housing. The home is designed for ADULTS and NOT CHILDREN. I have had hundreds and hundreds of children stay at the house but their parents regulated their location and their behavior and no accidents have ever occurred and I want to keep it that way. If an accident does occur the liability is to fall on the renter. Prior to any rental it is hereby stated clearly that the renter understands these risks and accepts full liability for the actions and outcomes of the people under their care. If there are any questions regarding the conditions mentioned in this paragraph please ask me! THANK YOU!!!
