Terrific location and house; great support
Had a great family stay with self, sons, granddaughters and older sister. Amazing house. Would have appreciated an earlier check-in time and a later check-out time. Had several circuit breakers trip (a complete mystery, as we were cooking out on the BBQ and not using much power at all), and got good and timely help in resolving the problem on our first night there.

Gorgeous waterfront modern house
Clean, spacious, modern style home right on the water. You want luxury close to Bigfork this is it. Linens and towels were so soft. Showers were amazing. I have a jeep and it fit in the garage perfect but the other party spot is small, so no big trucks, compact rigs only. Had a great weekend!

Beautiful fully equipped home
3 master bedroom with en suite bathrooms allowed excellent privacy for 3 couples traveling together on vacation. Very close to the town restaurants and grocery store. Incredible lake view. Large patio area with comfortable seating and fire pit. Everything was as described or better. I would definitely recommend this home.

Amazing lakeside retreat
The house accommodated our family of 7 perfectly. The lagoon at the back of the property was the perfect calm dock for the ski boat and the dock at the front of the property was the perfect launching spot for our daily stand up paddles. The house was well stocked with towels, beach towels, and kitchen supplies. Easy access to Bigfork and the large covered patio was A+. Will definitely return.

Inaccurate listing
The property is listed “new built” the home was built in 2015. Hardly a new built. The high Density of the neighborhood does not provide privacy. Visually, the neighborhood is far less expensive n quality than expected for the price we paid for this home. Overall quality was basic. The view of the lake was nice. There was no room to park a second car. If a car was parked in the driveway, it would block access to the neighbor north of the property. The description of the property should be corrected to describe the home, it’s quality and parking to accurately reflect what the consumer will have available. Charging over 2,500 per night and be offered two rolls of single ply toilet paper per bathroom is absolutely inadequate. Overall the house is acceptable but not ver priced and inaccurate description of what is actually there.

Stunning home on Flathead!
We had an amazing time at this spectacular home on the lake. Absolutely gorgeous home with perfect spaces to enjoy the beautiful views. We were disappointed to only have 4 nights here - could have easily stayed much longer! So much to see/do in the area. Easy drive to Whitefish and GNP. We hope to have the chance to return!

Can't beat the views and the home itself. Perfect location, directly on the lake. Would love to come back in the summer to boat. Home was lovely and well kept. We all had a great time visiting with friends we had not seen in a year due to Covid. Great place to relax, visit the towns of Big Fork and Whitefish and close enough to spend a day at Glacier.

Excellent property! Very clean and scenic
The property overall was an amazing stay! Very clean house and amenities. The view was beautiful and scenic! A little different than what we hoped for but can only blame that on Mother Nature and the season. We did find some of the rooms to be different temperatures and uncomfortable some night. The downstairs bedroom was extremely cold despite changing the thermostat, and the upstairs level was very dry and hot at night. All windows had to be open. Besides that, it was a beautiful home and the perfect location! Would recommend this place and beautiful Montana!

Perfect Family Retreat
Our family of 8 - my husband and I - our 2 kids and our 3 grandkids spent a wonderful 11 days in your lovely home. It was spacious, well appointed and fit our family perfectly. The bunk room was fun for the kids and we all appreciated the ensuite bedrooms. The outdoor space was special- seating for adults- large table for kids games and the dock and beach kept them busy climbing and running. We really liked the Big Fork area. The leaves were turning and the colors were amazing. Thanks!

Beautiful view!
I travel with a group of 7 friends annually and we pick a VRBO in a different part of the US. We have been doing this for years and all agreed that this one was hands down the nicest that we have stayed in due to the beautiful view and the fact that it has it's own water access. The unit itself had all of the necessary supplies but keep in mind that they only offer one garbage bag, no bars of soap and no cleaning supplies. I have never encountered this with a VRBO but the management company said this is their standard policy for their units . We cooked multiple days in the kitchen and loved that we could dine all together both inside or outside on the patio. The patio has a great sound system if you have the Sonos app. One issue that should be corrected is the lack of a ladder to enter and exit the water from the dock. It appears all of the neighboring properties have ladders but this one does not. Not having one makes it impossible to climb out of the water onto the dock and instead you need to exit via slipper rocks which is a definite safety hazard and would highly recommend it be addressed. The dishwasher stopped working while there and the management company addressed it the same day. Beds were all comfortable, place was clean. It has a wine/beer fridge which was welcome. We stayed an entire week and there was so much to do in the area. Glacier is an hour and 15 minute drive away. We rented paddle boards, kayaked on the Swan River, went to the local distillery, took a chartered boatride to Wild Horse Island etc. Not a lot of restaurants in the area but when renting a house with this many people we enjoy cooking so was not an issue at all. I would highly recommend this place, especially if they correct the ladder.
