The property was exactly as described. Clean, spacious kitchen was well stocked. The river view was amazing and we spent a lot of time on the deck. Close to everything and within walking distance to all BigFork has to offer. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Great place to stay. We will stay here again if we are back in the area.

Return to Bigfork

The condo was exactly as advertised. This is a great location and a well-appointed property. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, clean and centrally located to everything in Bigfork and the surrounding area. The river running through the woods off the deck makes this place a home run.

We loved it here! Can't wait to stay again.

This place was perfect. Loved the river right out the deck. We sat and listened to the river, often. Perfect distance away from things. Big Fork is such a nice laid back town. We loved how easy it was to access Kalispell and White Fish, Tamarack/Lakeside, etc.. It was the perfect week away we are trying to get more rooms for next year.

Mother's Day Ballet in Bigfork

We stayed the weekend to watch my daughter and the Northwest Ballet Company dance Midsummer Night's Dream. The condo was awesome, especially the deck with the river roaring nearby. The ballet was awesome as well. We'll be back at Thanksgiving for the Nutcracker!

Another great stay!

This is our 3rd time to stay at your lovely condo. We love the back deck with the comfy chairs and the rushing water. The condo isn't as fancy as some of the others that have been redone, but it's super clean and very comfortable. The furniture is all great, beds are good, and the price is better. But, I don't stay here because of the price, I genuinely love it! I don't have one single complaint. When we come back, I will stay again!

First this property is fantastic. Great location. Great amenities and layout. Deck view of Swan River is superb. All check in and instructions were clear and Stay Montana folks were very helpful. Our only cautionary comments are that no dedicated parking for property can cause 1/2 mile or more walks if festival or farmer’s markets are going on in Bigfork. Secondly live music acts across the street on Friday and Saturday night are pretty loud and go until midnight. Neither of these will be an issue for most renters in all fairness.

Great location. Very clean with everything needed for a great vacation!

This property was very clean and had all the updated amenities. A top notch property. I loved the location in downtown Big Fork on Swan River and right across from a bar with a great patio bar with live music. We used it as a base for going to Glacier National Park, but found BigFork/Flathead Lake had a lot to offer. My husband got a recommendation on a spot to fish from the Fly Shop in town and he slayed them! We used the state park to enjoy the lake and the drive to GNP was short and convenient. The property manager, Denise, was very accommodating and always accessible. I would stay here again!

Just us Two

Hubby and I got away for a week. The location of this unit was just behind a cute little downtown Bigfork. The unit is well described. The only thing that would have been nice to have would have been a little fire pit or table on the back porch. The sound of the river running is so peaceful. You can walk down to it just a small ways. The breakfast place around the corner Pocket Cafe I believe. Stay here everything is about 30 mins away and worth the drive the views are beautiful.
