Everything was great. Cabin was clean. Hot tub was nice. Wished we would have been a little more remote. Did not like the view with house directly behind us.

Honeymoon stay!

We just got married and picked this little cabin for our getaway! It was absolutely perfect! I cannot think of a single complaint! They even put sparkling cider and cheesecake in the fridge for us when i told them we had just been married! The hot tub was divine, the fire pit was perfect, everything was easy to find and they even had little umbrellas for 2 by the door (which we immediately needdd the first day we stayed!) Everything was thought of and provided and we couldnt have picked a better cabin for 2!

This “Lifes A Bear” retreat was as beautiful and relaxing as the pictures show. The peaceful forest along with the relaxing hot tub was the perfect setting to unwind after enjoying the many attractions in close proximity of the property. Many thanks to the host and hostess for making this vacation one of our best ever!

Cute & Cozy Kalispell Cabin!

This wonderful cabin has everything needed for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. We stayed two nights on our way to Yellowstone and wished we had booked it for longer. The hosts even left cheesecake and wine chilling in the fridge to help us celebrate our 40th anniversary! Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us!
