About this property

Beautiful, custom-built chalet central to all major attractions in the valley!

This cozy and serene chalet is nestled at the base of the Swan Mountains in a beautiful, wooded area with breathtaking lake and mountain views, only 2 minutes on a paved road to major highway. 12 minutes to Bigfork and Flathead Lake, 25 minutes to Glacier Park International Airport, 30-40 minutes to West Glacier and Whitefish.

This 3 bedroom, 3 bath chalet offers an exceptionally comfortable retreat from the busyness of traveling, sightseeing and vacationing. Year-round comfort is provided by radiant floor heat and gas fireplace in the winter and ductless air-conditioning in the upper level during the summer. It is fully stocked throughout with everything you will need to feel at home. Each bedroom has a queen bed with four pillows, plenty of dresser space and full-length mirrors. An extra bonus is a USB port/charging station at each bedside. Patio has ample seating with a smokeless fire pit to gather around in the evenings (unless local fire restrictions are in effect due to dry conditions). Take the staircase and path down to the lake to enjoy a paddle in the canoe or just sit in the Adirondack chairs, take in the scenery and watch for wildlife. For the more adventurous, you can walk along the edge of the lake to the sand/gravel shore where you can take a refreshing swim. A short walk down the paved road takes you to Tamarack Lake, which is more preferable for swimming. Throughout the day, it’s not uncommon to see deer, wild turkeys, ducks and geese. Those who rise earlier in the morning, may catch a glimpse of a bear, moose, elk or mountain lion.

The “Many Lakes” community is a neighborhood in the Creston area southeast of Kalispell and north of Bigfork. There are over 20 lakes and ponds within the area. These lakes were formed by retreating glaciers and water levels depend on snowfall. In years of high snowpack, these lakes can fill to capacity. Whereas during a drought, they may become more like a wetland meadow or reduce in size.

We hold a "Public Accommodations" license with the Montana Department of Public Health & Human Services and adhere to the highest standards of cleanliness.


** IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE REQUESTING TO BOOK **

* Due to the unique setting of this property, it has an alternative/complex septic system with multiple moving parts and electrical components (pumps, monitors and alarms). For this reason, we absolutely MUST hold to our 6-person limit. Further, there are some basic requests we ask of our guests to reduce overload and help keep this system running smoothly (spacing showers, laundry use, etc.). Despite these minor considerations, the water/septic functions operate just like any other home and should not cause any inconvenience.

* We absolutely welcome children; however, they must be supervised at all times when outdoors as there are many intriguing yet potentially dangerous areas surrounding the property.

* During autumn and winter months, snowfall can happen at any time, often fast and heavy. We do have someone plow the main driveway as soon as possible, however, guests are responsible for the snow removal of the asphalt directly in front of the garage as well as the patio during their stay. Snow shovels, a battery-operated snow blower and ice melt pellets are provided. An all-wheel drive is typically necessary to access the lower driveway when snow-covered. In extreme weather conditions, if the sloped driveway is mostly ice or slick snow-pack, guests MUST park in the upper driveway adjacent to the county road and walk to the lower level and chalet (takes 30-45 seconds). If you are not comfortable dealing with snow removal and/or walking on unlevel, patchy snow and ice, we do not recommend staying at this property during these times.

* The property has 4 outdoor security cameras which will be disarmed the entire duration of our guests' stay and will resume after 11am the day of checkout.

** PLEASE INQUIRE WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS REGARDING THESE DECLARATIONS. THANK YOU!! **

One of the best VRBO properties we’ve ever stayed in. The house was very nice, spotless, and very well equipped. The appliances are top of the line, kitchen has plenty of equipment for cooking meals in, and the bathroom/bedroom linens are all really soft. And then there’s the view! It is spectacular! A really nice house, with a million dollar view, for a shockingly low nightly rate. 10 out of 10!The only downside is that it’s not very close to Glacier. Not many rentals are so this was expected. And, if this rental was close to Glacier we probably couldn’t afford it. My advice… book the house and drive a little further to Glacier.

Amazing!

Luckily, we picked up some groceries on our way to the chalet, because we didn’t move our car from the garage until we left for home three days later. It was truly that relaxing! In addition, it is beautifully furnished and immaculate.

Beautiful home with amazing views

What a beautiful, comfortable home located just 30 minutes from the entrance of Glacier National Park. The home is newly constructed and beautifully decorated….and the view of their lake (and mountains) was amazing with all kinds of wildlife hanging out around it. The owners have this place so organized and they thought of everything you could need. We were a bit hesitant to pick with home with no reviews at the time, but we are soooooo glad we did!

Perfect Family Getaway

This home is beautiful & the owner was very easy to work with. We brought our fishing boat and fished Flathead Lake a couple days and went to Glacier on another day. This was the perfect location for both of those things. We saw lots of different wildlife during "happy hour" on the private back porch which was sooo exciting. I think our favorite was the 2 foxes! The kitchen has everything you need to create a great meal & we had movie night upstairs. Every detail in this home is well thought out. Check-in & check-out were very easy. We will definitely come back.

This property is absolutely gorgeous! The photos don't even do the view justice. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Easy to get to and not too far from downtown. There was nothing we needed that wasn't in the home. We've never been to a more fully stocked place. The home was completely spotless and we felt very comfortable. We saw lots of deer and enjoyed the fireplace inside and the firepit on the patio. Great stay and highly recommend!

20/10!!! This place was the best we have ever experienced for a rental. Impeccably clean, every amenity and provision you could want. Stunning views--website photos were completely accurate. Very easy access to the home from Kalispell and GNP, Whitefish, fishing & hiking. Having the lake view for morning coffee time and evening dinners on the patio was so enjoyable. Would 100% go back and recommend to anyone headed to the area.

Peaceful stay at the chalet

The chalet provided perfect accommodations for our family of 6 adults. The house was sparkling clean and smelled fresh. Bedding and towels were great quality and freshly laundered. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pans, dishes and cookware. We enjoyed the view of the lake, the quiet setting, the wildlife, and the opportunity to take out the canoe and peacefully paddle along. The host, Milinda, responded promptly to any questions I had. I highly recommend this property if you are visiting the Flathead Valley.

The chalet was even better than the photos! The view from the back patio was breathtaking, so peaceful and quiet! The house was immaculate, and fully stocked! It was so nice to have all the little things provided and not have to purchase them for a short stay. Milinda had great communication, and was very accommodating!

Great House

Amazing house. New, clean, spacious and very comfortable. We loved our stay. Awesome views of the lake below and the mountains off in the distance. Plenty of wildlife passing through. Very relaxing setting. The location is excellent. Only 15 minutes to Bigfork/Flathead Lake, about 30 minutes to Columbia Falls and 45 minutes to West Entrance Glacier NP and Whitefish. So much to see and do! We plan to return! Thanks!!

Great Location, Awesome Neighborhood and Gracious Host!!

Wonderful home with all the amenities in a beautiful neighborhood close to everything in Flathead Valley. Close to Glacier NP. But secluded enough for rest and peace after a day of adventure. Host responds quickly and has the house set up for anything you may need. Highly recommend from a family of 5 with kids.

A fantastic place to stay

Everyone in my party was blown away with our stay at this property. The views from the back patio are even better than the photos can portray. You could spend all week just sitting and looking out over the lake and mountains. The inside is equally impressive too, and has most of the same great views. The place was immaculate and does not feel like a rental place. Everything was spotless and in perfect working order. All communication from Milinda leading up to and during the stay was excellent, and we would definitely stay here again. The cabin is about 15 minutes from the closest grocery stores or restaurants, but it is worth it to be a little more secluded from all the tourist mayhem. The whole neighborhood around the cabin and the drive through the farm land to get to it is beautiful as well.

About the host

Hosted by Milinda Palmersheim

Host profile image
My husband and I are Montana natives and feel grateful to live in "The Last Best Place."
We built this vacation home as a place of retreat for ourselves as well as for our family and friends to visit and share quality time together while exploring the beautiful Flathead Valley. We are excited and happy to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

We feel the Flathead Valley truly is one of the most beautiful areas in Montana. We couldn't settle on one specific town or location and were so fortunate to find this secluded gem of a property with easy access to everything!

What makes this property unique

We love how isolated you feel when you are settled "at home" AND how quickly you can be out exploring or enjoying a great meal.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
