Week long stay w/ friends
My family and a friend’s family spent the week in Whitefish and Glacier. We stayed at the Ridge Top Chalet. We loved the property. It was clean, spacious, and is in such a beautiful area. We had 12 people in our group and we felt like we had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy our time together. We will certainly look to stay here again.

Beautiful house gorgeous views could use some maintenance.
Beautiful views, lovely house! Plenty of room for eleven people. On the top of mountain takes 16min to get to town. Not sure if we were the first people to use the house in a while, but definitely needed a good cleaning. Floors needed swept and washed, garbage disposal smelled and spider webs throughout the house. There was Snot smeared on the shower downstairs. When we opened the cover to the hot tub noticed It had not been cleaned and a beer can fell out. They came out next day and cleaned hot tube. The second day we started to have the real problems. The grill would not ignite had to change dinner plans. The movie screen stop working. They did show up the very next day and gave us a new grill and got the screen to work again. Second to last day the clothes washer was starting to malfunction with 11 people you use alot of towels. The dishwasher stopped working and started turning off and on by itself. They showed up again the next day. Left us a strainer and sponge to do dishes. And somehow the washer started to work fine again even though it said low tank. They also need to clean the washer it really smelled and had build up around the ring. Taking garbage out it was night time, there was a lot of garbage. Some had fallen out of the truck as we went down the mountain and had to clean off the road so already not in a good mood. After trying the code they gave us for 30mins had to bring back to house. They had not given us the right code😠 Needs maintenance.

Amazing views and a great home for our large group
The location, overall property and views of Big Mountain were better than pictures can show. We had a fairly large group of 8 adults and 3 children, and we all felt like we had enough space and the home fit our needs for sightseeing around Whitefish and GNP. We were wishing for one more full bathroom at times, but we knew it could be a challenge prior to booking. The check-in process and the information provided prior to our arrival was very helpful and thorough. The property managers were always quick to respond to messages and phone calls. We'd recommend this property for anyone staying in Whitefish, especially with its proximity to the ski resort, the lake and town of Whitefish.

Great place
Overall a wonderful place to stay with unbeatable views! The lift that services the surrounding neighborhood does close earlier in the season so double check with Whitefish to make sure it is running. If not, the ski-in is a short ten minute walk.

Property was clean and in great condition. Couldn’t ask for a better location for a snowboarding trip. Close enough to drive into town to eat and go back to relax at the house after a day boarding. Would definitely stay there again.

Great stay!
We had such an amazing time in Montana and this cabin was the cherry on the top, literally the cabin is a the very top of the mountain! This cabin had amazing views that you could not get anywhere else! The large kitchen made it easy for us to prep food for almost every meal for the entire week! The fireplace was so beautiful after a day of doing everything Montana has to offer!

Picture Perfect Location
This was the most beautiful home for me and my closest friends to spend the weekend. It was my first time in Montana, and coming home to this mountain top home was like a gift every time. Lots of space to spread out, the fireplaces made it so cozy, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook just a little bit and the views were out of this world. Would definitely return!

Excellent with a few improvements needed
Beautiful and accommodating home for our family of 12. However, there were a few details needing improvement. The family room fireplace did not operate with the remote and we had to call Brittin to help. He also had to fix the controls in the theater room closet as well as the internet. The bed in the upstairs bedroom was very hard as was the queen size bed by the theater room. We had couples in those beds and they were very uncomfortable. The pillows could have been better. The other arrangements were perfect. The waffle maker was broken. One of the tiles on the master bathtub fell off midweek. We loved our stay and the ability to feed our group using the well-stocked kitchen. We were quite disappointed that the chairlift near the house was closed but realized it was beyond the owners control. Luckily we had one person unable to ski who could be the shuttle driver. This was a great family experience and we will return. Thank you for allowing us to be guests in your home.

Stunning views in every direction.
This stunning home and location was a wonderful and relaxing stay.. We could have stayed all day having coffee at the dining table with endless views. The home is very clean. The one draw back, we were told, after we arrived, that we could not use the fireplace. In the listing write-up they say you can use the fireplace and in our welcome email they tell you how to use it, only to arrive and be told we can not. I asked about it 3 times and never got an answer. That was a disappointment for us. The communication with Kody was very good on everything except the fireplace. When we needed an iron,, Kody brought us one right away.. There does seem to be a little bit of a plumbing issue with one of the master sinks and the toilet. Overall our experience was wonderful!

Thanksgiving Week
This is a very nice home with an amazing view of big mountain. It is very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed watching movies and football games in the entertainment room while it was far too windy to venture outside. The kitchen is well equipped and open to the great room. The dining area is beautiful but really only seats six at the table which is unfortunate because the view is incredible. There is additional seating at the bar. We will certainly keep this on our list of nice places to visit in Whitefish

Great for a large family.
Great place to stay on Big Mountain. It worked out perfect for our family - 2 couples, 2 solo adults, and 2 children. Property could nicely support up to 4 couples and 4 kids. The open plan kitchen, dinning, and living room worked well for entertaining. Only frustrations were minor (we needed to bring/get more paper towels and toilet paper, no personal soaps/shampoo/etc., property would benefit from an additional bathroom). The total price was reasonable, however the Administrative fees were a bit shocking during the booking process.

Wonderful Stay!
We had such a perfect time staying in this fabulous property in Whitefish. The house itself is so beautiful and had plenty of room for our 8 children to spread out. Some could be in the hot tub, while some were in the theater room. We loved the quiet and beauty of the area and would definitely stay there again. Erica was so quick with a response to any question and helped make our stay that much better. It was truly a perfect Thanksgiving getaway!!

Relaxing and perfectly located with all the amenities
Was impressed with the location and beautiful views of Big mountain. Was nice to go skiing all day and have a great place to come home to and make dinner then relax in the hot tub or watching movies in the theater room. Would definitely rent this place again. Felt like a home away from home. And Erica was a great property manager there for anything we needed at any time.
