50th Anniversary Family Gathering

Beautiful view. Neat and clean. Plenty of room for 7 adults and 7 children. Although we believed we would have good access with a motor boat, the area is too shallow. We enjoyed boating until we ran aground several times and the propeller was damaged and we were finished. Also not a good swimming area. The waterfront is solid mud.

We will be Back

We had a wonderful 5 days. Kids had a great time in the water. Well so did the adults. The dock and depth of water were just what we needed. The Hot tub warmed us up just right. It was very clean, homey and surpassed our expectations. But next time let us know where we can find and catch some fish!

Great place for large group

This home was fantastic for our family vacation to see Glacier National Park. It accommodated 14 adults and 3 kids comfortably with plenty of space. Great kitchen and deck area for gathering. The creek was perfect for the kids because it allowed them to play in the water. Nice sandbox for the kids as well and a bonfire. We took the canoes out and had a beautiful view of Swan Lake. Great spot for fishing as well. The only negative was the distance to the park. It was about a 2.5 hour drive to Logan Pass.

It’s a great place for multiple families and kids. Plenty of room and the inlet in front of the house is a safe place for kids to swim. We enjoyed the canoes and the beautiful Swan River. We’ll be back.

Great place to stay

We rent this for a family reunion and found the house and guest house to be wonderful. The area on swan lake offered our kids a good opportunity to try the lake with our boots without getting too far offshore. The hot tub provided a relaxing view outside during our rainy days. We will be back.

Great managers and outstanding amenitiescwed

We were here for a family reunion and the layout is great for adults and kids alike—the teenagers had a great time too!! We had some challenges with the lack of air conditioning in the one or two really hot days of the year, but the managers went above and beyond to get us fans and help sort out the ice machine. They also recommended a company that delivered stand up paddle boards to rent to use along with the canoes that are free to use at the house. They were a big hit. The beaver that lives along the shore nearby and the many ducks and deer that we could watch from the porch all made it idyllic.

Absolutely first- class! Accurate on-line description of this rental was helpful.

We are not 'resort' people, so once a year we try to find seclusion on a Montana lake, with a nice clean house, easy lake access, and calming views of lake and mountains. This rental is all this and more. The hot tub was an added bonus, as it rained off and on the first day we were there; but 4 grandkids found happiness sublime right out the back door! The sandbox at water's edge was another plus. Three on-site canoes plus our own paddleboards and kayaks provided ample lake time for all. The housekeeping staff is to be commended, as the house (as well as the guest house) was exceptionally well-cleaned and well-stocked with basic necessities. We'll be back!

The house was setup and stocked perfectly. The location is perfect.

This property is located in the perfect place for access to Bigfork and Glacier National Park and being on Swan Lake is great. The rooms are setup nicely and there are enough bathrooms to accommodate 14 people with ease. The kitchen and great room are large enough to handle lots of people at once and have a fantastic view. Secluded and quiet. It is great. The house could use a ceiling fan in each bedroom and the kitchen area but being able to be on the deck during hot afternoons helps a lot as the deck is partially shaded. We were extremely happy with everything.

Fun for a large family, but a little rocky.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There were a lot of bugs in the basement rooms. We really enjoyed the guest house - decoration and furnishings in these rooms gave an overall cleaner appearance. There are so many rocks and shallow spots in the northern part of Swan Lake that are unidentified and made boat travel rough for individuals who are unfamiliar with this lake.

2010 Swan Lake Chalet Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've vacationed in the Flathead Valley for the past few years now. This was our first visit to Swan Lake and our first visit to this property. We had three families together, which totalled, at the peak, 12 adults. This property is large, well laid out, very private and VERY quiet. Very nice rustic, forest environment with lots of wildlife (deer) roaming around. The main house and guest house were well appointed and suited all of our needs. Don't expect 5 Star accommodation with opulent furnishings. This is a vacation home that's got everything you need with lots or room. Lots of on-site parking (we had 4 vehicles and a boat trailer). The general area was great for hiking, jogging and cycling. We also brought along a 23 foot competition wakeboard boat. Once we learned about the lake and how to get in and out of the property, we had a great time (NOTE: learn about the lake and how to get in and out of the property BEFORE you put your boat in the water). We've rented lake side properties for the past 10+ years in Montana and British Columbia, Canada. Overall, we were very happy with this property, would rent it again and would certainly recommend it to others.

Family Get Together

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We gathered with our children and grandchildren for a week of fun. We loved that the house was big and roomy. The kitchen was well supplied and had everything we needed. (The oven, however, did not heat accurately.) The lake was flooding but the channel offered good access for canoeing and swimming. The hot tub was also a nice amenity. There seemed to be an unusual odor that came from the basement. We were unable to determine the source. The last night, there was a thunderstorm and a tree fell across the driveway. We could not access a chain saw to remove part of the tree and the property manager said she could not get someone out until later on Sunday. (We needed to get on the road!) We found a small bow saw and a small hatchet and used these to trim off the top of the tree so we could drive around the tree. Overall, we had a wonderful family vacation.
