This cozy cabin had everything my family could want. It was clean, with comfortable beds and a beautiful view. We loved sitting on the porch, going shopping in whitefish and exploring glacier national park. This spot was the perfect hub to everything. I wish we never had to leave!

Our stay at this cabin was absolutely amazing! The host was very responsive to our messages and extremely helpful! It was such a fun place for our family to stay! The listing perfectly reflects the property and I would say the home felt more spacious than I anticipated! It was a great space to have fun and play in the water but close enough to Whitefish and Glacier Nation Park to allow us to adventure and not have to go far! The home also had a lot of utensils that we ended up needing in the kitchen! It was an amazing place to stay and we would definitely come here again!

We had 6 adults, 2 babies, a preschooler and 2 dogs. There was plenty of room for everyone and we all enjoyed our stay. The kids and dogs loved the clean pond with the kayaks and paddle boards. We enjoyed all of the yard games, hot tub and fire pit. The cabin was clean and comfortable. This is a great place to stay for family gatherings. You feel like you are out in the woods, yet you’re just a few minutes from town. If we come back to Montana, this is where I want to stay.

Staying at this magical place was the adventure of a lifetime for our family. The property is beautifully maintained and the hosts are wonderful. My grandsons declared our three days there to be the best days of their lives. The house and waterfront are peacefully secluded and our stay exceeded our expectations in every way.

This cabin was comfy and perfect for us. Nothing hoity-toity about it…just simple living.Kids loved the pond (and dad too), along with the hot tub, and being tucked in the meadow was super quiet and secluded. The distance to Kalispell and Whitefish makes it easy to go to either, and GNP too!
