About this property

Bigfork’s Best Vacation Home for Families! - Where Family Fun Meets Relaxation!

The Riverview Rendezvous is the perfect vacation setting for large or multiple families. The property is packed with activities for children and relaxing luxury for the adults. The home is set back just a few hundred feet from the Flathead River, located on the west end of Bigfork near the mouth of the Flathead River opening into Flathead Lake.* Newly remodeled in 2019 the home design is in the traditional lake house style with unique character designs throughout.

The main living space is an open concept layout with a large living room, fully stocked kitchen for all your culinary needs, and two dining areas with enough seating for 12. Guests will also find a small office for remote work and a large laundry room with washer and dryer.
Plenty of outside enjoyment is available at the Riverview Rendezvous. The basement leads to a large backyard for kids to play. A screened in porch with lots of seating to enjoy morning coffee is located just off the dining room. The living room leads to a spacious deck complete with outdoor furniture, BBQ, and propane heater for those cool Montana evenings. The deck overlooks the Flathead River where guests can catch the fiery color dance of a Montana Sunset across the big skies.

With 4 spacious bedrooms, including two king beds with en-suites, there is plenty of room for multiple families at the Riverview Rendezvous. The main floor king master suite boasts a large bathroom with custom details such as a beautifully tiled walk-in shower and luxurious claw foot soaking tub. In addition to the king master suite and 3 upstairs bedrooms (1 king en-suite and 2 queens), the home has a charming “bunkhouse” on the main floor for additional sleeping. The bunkhouse was part of the original cabin built in 1949 and incorporated into the design of the new house.

The basement is home to an additional living area complete with bar, game room, and TV room. The game room is furnished with vintage arcade games, foosball, popcorn machine, chess board, and lots more!

The area boasts Eagle Bend Golf Club, a 27-hole champion golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus design group, Flathead River, and Flathead Lake…all within walking distance! Downtown Bigfork is just a short drive away at 2.5 miles where guests will find a quaint lakefront town with lots of boutique shops, art galleries, fine dining, and pubs/bars playing live music most evenings in the summer. The Bigfork Summer Playhouse is a local treasure, be sure to get in a show or two!

Perfect family gathering spot.
This place has something for everyone. 2 masters, 2 queen bedrooms and the cutest bunk room with 4 beds. Kitchen was well equipped with big dining table enabled family dinners. The basement houses a bonus room with arcade games, fooz ball, big screen TV and bar area. There was also a good size back yard for our black lab. The location was quiet but easily accessible. Something for everyone.

Just About Perfect!
This is a place designed for fun and comfort. We travel often from Washington to Bigfork to see the Montana Whitneys and this will definitely be our new vacation home of choice! Aja was so prompt with communication and we couldn't have asked for a better host.

Perfect holiday retreat
This home is nothing short of spectacular! It was charming and captivating from the moment you walked in and was thoughtfully decorated for Christmas. The little kids LOVED the play room! We adults enjoyed the ample indoor space for us all to enjoy our time together either in the kitchen, living room, game room, or simply napping in our own room. Communication with the property manager was seamless. We're already dreaming of our next visit here!!

A Place for All Ages
My sibs and spouses and three grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed hanging out, cooking together and playing together in this lovely well appointed home. The kids loved their own personal bunk house and play room downstairs. All of the other bedrooms were spacious. Three and a half bathrooms felt luxurious given the number of guests. The kitchen and two eating spaces became the primary focal point for gathering in the morning and ending our day’s activities. The kitchen is very well equipped in every way. We enjoyed using the two kayaks provided. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy home for our family gathering. Everyone wants to come back next year! Barb Gilfillan

This is a great location!
My family and I stayed for just under a week at this home. There were only 5 of us and the location was more than spacious. The property manager Aja was very friendly and responsive to work with. We’d love to return or rent from other properties managed by this vendor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful house
Six of us went to Big Fork to visit my sons in Lakeside and spent 4 nights at this property. It was perfect for our group- great beds/baths and big communal areas to visit in. And the game room downstairs was awesome. Couldn’t have been better and we’ll likely return again next year!

Perfect for large family gathering
I was so impressed with the home, and loved the area. There is a agate shop down the street that my kids adored and frequented. There were some housekeeping issues but the manager was very gracious about it, and made it right. The only thing I will note is that there is a rooster next door that woke us up fairly early(5ish). Most days we were up anyways heading out to experience the day-but for some that might not be a welcome/enjoyable experience.

Loved it!
We had a lovely time at this spot! It's close to "downtown" Bigfork, clean and spacious, and has a variety of places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. For us, being close to the athletic facility, where we could play pickleball, was a real bonus. This is perfect for an extended/expansive family or a group of friends, as we were. We'd strongly recommend it. Also--the property manager was very responsive to our minor questions.
