Property is absolutely amazing. Home is perfect for friends and family. Beautiful kitchen and living areas. Location is central to plenty of sight seeing and outdoor activities. We are talking about coming back to do nothing but enjoy the river view from the porch and lawn.

Thank you for the five-star review! Glad BF - Eagle's Nest Retreat was absolutely amazing and perfect for friends and family. Great to hear the kitchen, living areas, and central location worked so well for your group — the river view from the porch and lawn sounds like the perfect way to relax. We’d love to host you again.

Door code did not work when we arrived but they answered the phone quickly and we ended up having to use the key/box so it was all good. House was really fabulous. Very roomy and great view with the river right out the back door. Builder took care of small details and that was apparent through out the home. Quiet neighborhood and many deer hanging around the neighborhood. Kitchen to die for! Clean and very comfortable. Don't miss this one you will LOVE it!

Big Fork Beautiful Home

This beautiful property has it all and the previous reviews were accurate - sitting by the fire pit and enjoying the surrounding beauty was our favorite. I would love to have this kitchen in my own home and it was well appointed with everything you could possibly need. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable along with the TV's. Would love to make it back to Montana!!!

Best Ever

From the moment we arrived, we were in heaven. The house was spotless, beautiful and a dreamy location. There were bikes to ride and tubes to float. The town was pretty close if you wanted to eat out. If you want amazing family time or even to stay with another couple, this is the place to stay. Just please don't go when we go! Can't wait to book again.

This is a beautiful home. Very clean. Great host. We saw a grizzly bear fishing across the river and many bald eagles. A very special place. Awesome doesn't really describe it. It is amazing. Great fishing right there on the river and chartered fishing boats are out there early mornings. We hope to go again next year.

Randle was an amazing host! His house was the most beautiful we have ever stayed in. Come to find out he built it! Every inch of the house was carefully thought out and the detail of the decor was absolutely beautiful, relaxing and cozy. The outdoors, the river in the backyard is amazing, and the back patio was relaxing with the fireplace was just what the family needed. 1000% recommend anyone staying here for peacefulness and to connect with the outdoors but also have 5 star amenities! We will be back!

Glacier Park Adventures

This was our first trip to Montana. We wanted access to the park (@ 40 minutes), but a non-touristy home base. Look no further than the Eagles Nest. This home has the wow factor. I saw it on my wife's face as soon as we opened the front door and saw the Swan River. Big Fork was close by and with the help of our host we took advantage of all things Huckleberry. We visited Glacier Park three times during our trip with ease, always ready to return to the house and enjoy the fire pit and abundant wildlife all around us. This is a wonderful property. Enjoy it.

better than it looks!

All too seldom, you are surprised by something BETTER in person than the images or description. this property is indeed much nicer and complete than the images indicate! The building is finished well; all the kitchen items in place and the furnishings fit in beautifully. the house is close to the river and the sounds are intoxicating at night - it just could not be better. the fire pit is the center of the day and evenings and a perfect size. small touches like dimmable lighting, and great TV's make the stay feel like home. the layout works so well for 3 or 4 couples. By far, probably the best value in the local rental market!

Our favorite!

We have been coming to Bigfork area for the past 11 years. Usually we come in the summer but decided to try the fall as well this year. We have seen this house on vrbo and finally were able to book it. It is by far our favorite home we have stayed at!! You can't beat the location. The home is absolutely beautiful and has everything you could need. I was very impressed with all that was available in the kitchen (serving dishes, appliances etc) it was as if i was using my at home kitchen. The beds and pillows were extremely comfy. The back porch and fire pit were amazing. I could be content never leaving the home. Randall was a very detailed, kind and wonderful host! We look forward to booking again in the future.

Exceptional stay

We had an exceptional experience staying at this house. No detail was overlooked in this house, it has every convenience one could ever want and more. It had a well-appointed top notch, spacious kitchen, a bathroom for every bedroom, workout equipment, bicycles, tubes for the river which the kids absolutely loved. This house is what I would build if I won the lottery! :) It was beyond clean which was reassuring during this current global situation. We loved sitting out on the back patio and watch the river flow by as we enjoyed a fire. If you enjoy nature, you’ll see a wide variety of wildlife - deer, hummingbirds, mergansers, swallows and much more. The kids loved skipping the colorful smooth river rocks, we loved the smell of the pine trees and the sound of the river first thing in the morning as we sipped our morning coffees. The owner made us feel like his personal guests, he was inviting and helpful. He gave us helpful tips on what to do and see for our first visit to beautiful Montana. We are already talking about when our next stay will be at Eagle’s Nest.

Eagles Nest - incredible property in a great location

Four adults from Texas stayed for 9 nights. The house has so much character, had everything we needed for our stay and we especially enjoyed the huge kitchen and the outdoor seating area with gas firepit overlooking the river with mountain views in the distance and the outdoor cooking pavilion by the river. Every day included coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening outside enjoying the sounds of the river! Saw a bear on the river, eagles, ducks, deer, and wild turkeys. The property is located for easy access to Flathead Lake, Big Fork town, Whitefish & Greate Falls, and a beautiful easy drive to the west entrance of Glacier. The beds were very comfortable and the amenities high end. The owner was very helpful and we enjoyed meeting Randle. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

The house is beautiful and perfect for our family of 5. We will long remember our nights surrounding the fire and listening to the sounds of the Swan River. Randle FaceTimed us through all the details of his lovely home. We had a blast tubing on the river and hikes around Bigfork.
