About this property

Magnificent Custom Built Log Home on 10 Quiet Peaceful Acres

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!!!

Perfect for group ski trips
The cabin was spacious and in great condition, able to provide more than enough accomodations for a group of 5 adult men. We especially enjoyed the fully featured kitchen and TWO fireplaces with ample supply of firewood provided. The location was a medium length drive to the Whitefish ski resort, and close to the airport and shopping as well. Bob was extremely communicative and a gracious host. There was a minor unfortunate with internet connectivity outside of his control, however he was on top of it and was able to provide a satisfactory resolution. Also appreciated the fact that he did not demand a long list of chores before checking out like some other owners that try and get free labor from their guests.Book with confidence, and be sure to bring plenty of meat for the grill!

Christmas in Whitefish
Our adult children, living in different parts of the country, planned a Christmas gathering in Whitefish. We were seeking a welcoming space, with room to spread out, and easy access to hiking, skiing, good restaurants and charm. We found everything we were looking for here!

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods
What an amazing find! Being surrrounded by 10 acres was just a lovely setting for our last 3 days/nights in the area. The cabin is so spacious and welcoming. Kitchen was fully stocked. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed morning fires in the wood stove. The location was great for our treks back and forth to Glacier and proximity to the airport. Bob was an excellent and gracious host; very communicative throughout the entire rental process. We wish we would have had more time to take in the surroundings on that fantastic wrap around porch... maybe next time!

Amazing property, can’t wait to go back!
This property is absolutely amazing! The cabin is beautiful, very well taking care of, and has a kitchen that is stocked better than my own home! The property is remote enough to feel private yet close enough to town that if you need something, it is easily accessible. It is the perfect location! I am very particular when I rent a VRBO home. This home was more than I could ask for. The beauty of the cabin, the beauty of the property, and the communication with the owner was absolutely top-notch! Bob gave me his cell number and was very accessible the whole time we were there. I had one small question and he was quick to respond. Bob is the best! If you are looking for a Montana experience, this cabin and property will not disappoint! I can’t wait to get back there next year! Thank you, Bob, for allowing my family to stay at your beautiful cabin. And, thank you for all your kindness while we were there!

Fabulous Log Cabin
To start, Bob the owner was amazing!!! He communicated with me from start to finish! The log cabin was spectacular. Windows looking out to the beautiful forest. Deer were out every morning and a couple evenings. The kitchen was huge, wonderful and spectacular, a gourmet kitchen in my book. Our grandkids loved the bunk beds. There are not enough words to express how at home and wonderful we felt there. This property was not far from Glacier National Park. Whitefish was right up the road and Kalispell was right there also. We had an amazing stay and THANK YOU Bob for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cabin!

WOW!!
I came up to Montana for a short week of relaxation and, wow, this unique log cabin certainly delivered! This private, beautiful cabin sits at the end of a long driveway off a tranquil road and the “curb appeal” is fantastic. Inside, the cabin is cozy, sparkling clean, and even has creature comforts like magazines, a cool chess board and helpful books about hikes in Glacier National Park (we used it to do research). You can tell there is a pride of ownership! The house features an amazing wrap-around deck with Adirondack chairs, a dining table, and a hammock, perfect for all day leisure – coffee-to-cocktail. I didn’t use it because I came with one other person, but the upstairs features an adorable bunk bed area that any kid would love. The location halfway between Kalispell and Whitefish is perfect. You get acres and acres of peaceful green, but are still a short drive from Glacier National Park, restaurants, markets, and gyms. I can’t wait to come back in the winter to get the two fireplaces going and get comfy with a good book. A zillion stars for this really special home away from home.

Wonderful cabin
We enjoyed a family get together out on the large deck. Had it been raining, we would have had plenty of room inside too. The kitchen was huge and fully stocked with all kinds of appliances and utensils. The serenity of the cabin's 10 acres made for a relaxing stay.

Glacier National park /whitefish, mt
House was large enough for the 9 of us. Very private location. Could use a deep cleaning and updated furnishings. Seemed cluttered with ‘leftover’ coolers, buckets, etc. Leftover food in refrigerator and cabinets that most wouldn’t feel comfortable using. No A/C so it was a little warm and didn’t feel Comfortable leaving downstairs windows open while sleeping as suggested. Many fans provided but loft and upstairs remained very warm. A large industrial floor fan in the living room was the method to provide air to the upstairs.

Top notch Family Vacation
Beautiful home that is geared to relaxing and time together. It was exactly as described and more. We were centrally located and close to GNP. It was hot during the day but surprisingly we stayed fairly cool in the evenings when we opened the windows and used the fans that were provided. Great memories were made for us and our adult children/significant others and I will book again if we head back that way! Bob was a terrific host and quick to answer all my questions. Highly recommend!

It’s a Home, not just a house!
Beautiful log home, included absolutely everything we needed! We have rented from VRBO at several different locations across the U.S. for years, but this home is the best! Very clean, close to Kalispell and Whitefish. We hiked at Glacier NP, drove up to Eureka and Canada, went to Kootenai falls and lake, had a great time.

We had a wonderful 5 days ringing in the new year at Bobs property. The house comes equipped with all that you would need. If you are looking for a quiet stay in a remote area, that is still close to all amenities, this is the perfect spot for you. We have already discussed booking this cabin for a future trip.

We had a wonderful family vacation at this beautiful property! It had everything we needed and was a cozy getaway for our family to gather. It is exactly as listed plus more. Many deer slowly passed thru the property and sitting on the wraparound porch was relaxing. We made most of our meals there using the stove/oven and grill which all worked great.

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
I started my career in a Venture Capital firm and created a Real Estate Investment Company at the age of 23. I have lived out of the country in places like Africa, Spain and Brazil and have spent a lot of time traveling all over the world. I grew up in Darien Connecticut and used to live in San Francisco and now reside near the beach here in Los Angeles. Presently I design and build homes and I am also a LA County Ocean Lifeguard.

Why they chose this property

The property is amazingly located in that it is central to both Whitefish and Kalispell, easily accessable to the airport and most importantly is completely tranquil in its location in the woods. It sits at the back of a 10 acre lot and has another 20 acres of raw land to the North of it and has over 1,800 acres of State owned land on the other side of the dirt road at the end of the driveway. Everything is so close yet you feel completely isolated and hence completely relaxed when you are on this property.
