The property was absolutely beautiful. The kids enjoyed the trails and the kayaks. It was close to everything we wanted to do on our vacation! Kalli was very responsive with check in and anything else we needed. We would stay here again!!
Great trip! This home is between Bigfork and Kallispell Montana, which was perfect for visiting Glacier National Park and the cute town of Bigfork!

Conveniently located for all on your bucket list yet with the feeling of quiet seclusion. Mystic Mountain is also within 30 min of the Glacier airport.
Wonderful stay in Bigfork! House has everything that you need. Beautiful scenery, quiet surroundings and comfortable living. Close to GNP and Flathead Lake activities. Can’t wait to come back!

Hosting 8 guys coming to fish for 8 nights had me a bit concerned. But when your cleaning team makes comment like...."we need to invite these guys back again!" I consider this a 5* guest. Also, as a remote host/owner, their great communication is so appreciated.
I can’t say enough great things about the owners and the property! It was well above expectations once we arrived. Kalli has the most well stocked rental I have ever rented. The house and property are well loved and extremely clean. The whole experience is a spiritual vibe connecting with nature. I give this 5 stars plus plus plus!
The property is in a secluded, peaceful neighborhood with wildlife and plenty of amazing mountain views. There was plenty of space, inside and out to explore and enjoy. The house was fully stocked with anything we could possibly need and there were kayaks available for the lake.

Yes, peaceful seclusion but convenient location. Take an adult time out and bask in the views and solitude.
Our family rented Kalli's house for a week. It was a wonderful place to stay. Many amenities provided. Great location for trips to Glacier Park. Lots of fun and interesting things to do on the property and also nearby attractions.

Relaxing and rejuvenating in the beauty Mystic Mountain is surrounded by with everything you need to do so......Yes, this is why so many guests return.
Six women had a fantastic time at mystic mountain. We each had a room and a full equipped kitchen to make meals. Each morning we hiked the property. The wild turkeys did a beautiful dating dance for us. We all said we would come back. Thanks Kallie.

So pleased to have Mystic Mountain chosen a women's retreat destination. We've hosted many retreats on the property and have kept this intention in mind with the design and amenities.
This property was so well stocked, comfortable, clean, beautiful. Kalli was great. Couldn't say enough nice things about our experience here.

Magical is a term we often use to describe this property. But even better when our guests chose to do so. Mystic Mountain is place to drop in to that place of peace within each of us that promotes a feeling or experience that can only be described as "magical."
There are just no words for how amazing this home is. We were at home from the time we stepped in until we left. Stunning views. Plenty of activities to do on property. Tons of information provided on property. This home literally has it all. We were so happy the entire week. Can’t wait to return.
This is a beautiful mountain home. Great location is close to Flathead Lake, Kalispell, Whitefish and Glacier National Park. Plenty to do at the property for all ages. Host communication was excellent. Highly recommend!

Our main goal at Mystic Mountain Retreat is to exceed expectations. So pleased to have another satisfied guest.
It was a spectacular, peaceful retreat for our family vacation. The property was remote enough to bask in the forest and feel like no one was around. There's a giant Osprey nest close so we had entertainment any also saw Deer and Turkeys. There's a fully stocked kitchen, barbecue and lots of great suggestions for activities. We really enjoyed ourselves and can't recommend it more..

Mystic Mountain offers an experience like none other to retreat and refresh with family surrounded by nature. feels remote, yet very conveniently located to explore the area.
Our extended family had a wonderful stay during our visit to the Glacier NP area. The home was furnished beautifully with great themed rooms and an eye for anything one might need while vacationing in Montana. The view from the back patio was gorgeous and felt like were in a national park (minus the crowds) while eating meals or relaxing there. There is also an active osprey nest near the patio which was fascinating to observe. Would definitely stay again if visiting the area!

Yes, the themed rooms add to the overall experience of visiting Mystic Mountain. But also make it easier to allocate bedrooms (5) to your family and friends staying with you.
The Osprey come back to their nest every summer and have become our mascot. Gusts enjoy watching them dive for their dinner in the lake.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mystic Mountain!! The house was spacious and contained more than most VRBO amenities. Our host was wonderful and very responsive to any questions we had. Thank you!!!

It's our joy to hear our guests speak with such excitement and anticipation of their long awaited stay at Mystic Mountain. Playing tour guide and helping to meet (or exceed) their expectations is always part of our goal.
Mystic Mountain is perfect in every way! The Thomas/Keller family from Illinois can not thank you enough for sharing your piece of paradise. Until next time. ❤️🏔
We just came back from a wonderful family vacation at the Mystic Mountain Retreat, which exceeded our expectations. The house was impeccably clean, and the hosts obviously pay great attention to every detail to make your stay as comfortable and easy as possible. The views are extraordinary, and the property itself is beautiful. Would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking for a special vacation venue in north Montana.

This guest was wonderful and love that he both noticed and appreciated the details we strive to improve and provide for a memorable experience here at Mystic Mountain.
The property was wonderful! It has a spectacular view of the mountains. Even though the lake levels were low we still enjoyed the walking trails and view. There was plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen was great. Everything was in good working order, including the grill. Would definitely consider this property again!

Always so pleased to hear such satisfied guests. Late spring and early summer when the snow in higher levels has not yet melted, lakes can be lower water levels. Especially during a drought. However there is much to enjoy on 15 acres with the many amenities.
About the host
Hosted by Kalli
We're so pleased to have you visiting our MysticMountainMontana listing. I realize there's a lot of vacation rentals to choose from and so many options to consider and sort through.
The STR (Short Term Rental) business is not new to us. We have owned 2 other STR (Park City, Utah and Costa Rica) over the last 20 years. Our experience and passion for travel hosting led us to our 3rd property in Bigfork, MT. It only took us one trip to this area to know we had found our next home-away.
My friends tell me that the "hospitality” business is my natural niche. As a minister's wife, I often seem to be the one who hosts the parties, plans the gatherings, plays tour guide and opens my house to unexpected guests. I currently manage our property and handle the bookings. So rest assured knowing you're dealing directly with the property owner and the person most knowledgeable about the property and local area to act as your host.
Professionally, other then STR (short term rentals) and hospitality, my back ground and experience is in professional restyling. It's this expertise I used to design and furnish MysticMountainMontana and create a unique “themed” experience in each room. My intention is for guests to enter our property and feel like they are in a warm and welcoming "home" rather then just another generic short term rental space; to not only see a beautiful space when they enter, but also feel and sense our hospitality even in our absence.
When we are not traveling we live in Southern California in the north county of San Diego. Not a bad place to live!
During our winter stays in Bigfork we enjoy skiing and even ski cross country right out our front door and around the lake. I do yoga and my favorite place to practice is right on our lower, lake front deck. In warmer summer months we enjoy hiking, boating, rafting or working in the yard.
I do hope you will have the opportunity to experience the magic this amazing property has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Connect with nature surrounded by picturesque lakes, peaceful ponds and majestic mountains. The bigger of the 3 lakes/ponds on the property, called McGilvray Lake, offers great views from our back deck through many of our expansive windows. We have no nearby neighbors so you have a nice, quiet, secluded feel away from the busier area of Flathead Lake. MysticMountainMontana also offers great private trails for hiking around the various arms of the lakes/ponds and property. Enjoy a full afternoon of activities to choose from or just relax and enjoy the views from an expanded lake-front deck and private dock just a short 5 minute stroll down the hill.
Conveniently located yet in quite seclusion for an ideal get-away.
Just 30 minutes from Glacier Airport and a short 8 minute drive to Bigfork Village By the Bay. Stroll down main street full of quaint shops and art galleries. Enjoy a day of boating and fishing on Flathead Lake. Take a scenic drive the majestic Glacier National Park for jaw-dropping beauty beyond belief or explore Kalispell & Whitefish all less than 30-45 minutes.
MysticMountainMontana offers all the benefits of lake side, mountain living: hugh decks/patio for outdoor living privacy without a single house/neighbor in sight; on-site hiking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming off your private dock without the crowds, traffic, noise or hassles.
There is much to see and do in this beautiful area, but allow enough time to simply just be on this majestic and magical MysticMountain property.
What makes this property unique
In such a high-tech-low-touch society, our intention for buying Mystic Mountain was to offer a secluded, peaceful environment for others to enjoy quality time with families & friends away from the fast pace life. Time to bask in the beauty, settle into the silence, breath in the bounty of splendor that awaits you in this majestic Flathead Valley. Enjoy the great outdoors and serenader to the solitude offered here. Return home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

As a "dark sky" property, the star gazing in the Montana big sky is amazing!
The back of the house faces across an expansive deck overlooking a small, peaceful Lake McGilvray, and just one of the 4 arms in the lake cluster. Our wooded 15 acres of forest and the Swan Mountain range. Enjoy sun or shade in comfort on the deck furniture.
