Perfect getaway

We had a perfect long weekend at the chickadee! The location is so relaxing with the fabulous view of the river. The adorable town is just around the corner with great shopping. We also enjoyed the park just over the bridge, it even had live music. We will definitely stay here again!

Great spot - steps away from everything!

Perfectly comfortable condo with a wonderful deck overlooking the river. All of Bigfork (at least the main tourist area) including shops, cafes, and restaurants are literally within 100 yards of this location.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
When we arrived we discovered there was no reserved parking for the property, and there was some kind of event going on downtown so there was no where to park. Had to wait over an hour to get a spot and finally enter the property. This should be called out in the listing. The listing says “hot tub” but there is no hot tub, only a small bathtub with jets. Beds are both small and uncomfortable. The location is great and has beautiful views of the river from the deck, but property description is misleading about a hot tub and is very expensive to not even have a reserved parking spot.

Bright and private retreat in Bigfork

The property is perfect for families meeting to enjoy the lake and outdoors. Well appointed kitchen for cooking shared meals, comfortable furnishings and beds, and very responsive host for those last minute questions. It is a perfect location to use as a base for Glacier NP and Flathead Lake, and just a block from the main street for the charming village of Bigfork. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Perfect Combination of Charm and Convenience

The Chickadee Chalet is ideally located - with tremendous views of the Swan River off the back deck and a block or two from restaurants, shops, live music and Fieldheads coffee out the front door. The condo was comfortable and inviting. We hope we have the ability to return here in the future. Denise was a joy to work with. We highly recommend this condo and this town!

Getaway

All good but lacking kitchen towels/dish towels and of course a wine bottle opener 😂. Had to go buy one and lost my parking spot. Parking stinks as the whole town shares the same lot but if you sit in your car long enough one will open up. Overall great place outside of that.

Wish we could have stayed all summer!

This property is outstanding. Everything is brand new and so tasteful. If you like to cook the kitchen is equipped to the max. We loved everything about it, especially the views and sound of the River gushing out the back. Location is excellent....a 2 minute wLk from the Main Street of Bigfork where u can find wonderful restaurants, art galleries, gift shops and the biggest bonus of all. The summer theater. We brought our bikes and found endless biking, many smaller lakes in addition to flathead and tons of things to do (just 45 minutes from glacier national park). We definitely plan to return next summer!

4/10 Poor

Not really what it's cracked up to be

Bed upstairs is not a queen size, and not really comfortable for 2 adults. The noise from the Garden Bar across the way is incredible loud and annoying, even with all the windows shut. Band plays until 1am and when they don't play the music and partying goes to 2am. The location would be great if it wasn't for the noise. The unit was well equipped and the deck overlooking the Swan is really nice. Actually thought about staying there during the afternoon and finding a place to sleep at night.

Owner's Response: Both beds in our condo are definitely Queen sized beds. The fitted sheets and protective mattress cover are also Queen size. We are sorry that the Bigfork summer weekend night time opportunities were not to your liking and impacted your Bigfork visit. Bigfork is a small community that is growing ever more popular due to its offerings. Osborn Landing is set off from the center of Bigfork next to the Swan River. From Osborn you are just steps away from 10 great restaurants, one of our country’s top ten repertory theaters, a state of the art Library, a renowned Art and Cultural Center and of course dozens of wonderful art galleries and boutiques. For nature lovers, a 5 minute walk will get you our majestic Swan River Nature Trail, Sliter Community Park, Wayfarer’s State Park on the Flathead Lake and several water craft rental companies that will help you enjoy our numerous lakes and rivers. And Bigfork is only a short drive away from Glacier National Park and several great hiking areas. Because of our growing popularity, Bigfork’s nightlife on the weekends is getting more exciting.

Beautiful little town

Enjoyed our stay walking distance to the town. Really enjoyed the back patio overlooking the river which was running at the time due to rains in the previous week. We saw two Shows at the playhouse that we really enjoyed. Only recommendation is for additional towels they only had 4 for 4 people for the 4 nights. Another set per person would be nice so not to have to worry with washing them ourselves.

Conveniently located in downtown Bigfork

The property is situated one block from “ downtown” Bigfork. Darling and well appointed property with lovely furnishings and kitchen items. Very clean and light inside. You can hear the Swan River from the deck outside. We enjoyed the stay and the convenience to dining and the “not to miss” Bigfork Summer Playhouse performances. The management was very responsive to inquiries.
