This was our first family vacation with our new daughter in law. By far this was the best place we have ever rented. The owner was wonderful and very helpful with all questions that we had regarding our stay. Best vacation ever!!!
We had an amazing stay! The home is the nicest we have stayed in. The views are beautiful and the property is wonderful! Randle was very helpful from start to finish! We would definitely recommend this property.

Really great that you could rendezvous with your family there!! So glad your experience was great!
We had an absolute fantastic stay for our family vacation. The house and setting of the river was great and had everything and then some for amenities. Would definitely book again.
We had an amazing time. Randall was a great host who cares about the safety of his guests and community. The home is wonderful and the Bigfork area is amazing.
Eagle’s nest was the perfect get-away! We loved being right on the river and the house is beautiful
Our trip was made even more special when the eagle flew by the back window each day. The quality of the house is impeccable and we appreciated all the amenities! Thank you for being such gracious hosts!
We had an amazing week at this gorgeous home on the river. Hiking and kayaking nearby as well as relaxing at home by the river or at the fire pit in the evenings. Incredible!

Hi Katie, From your review I can tell you had a very cool vacay! Don't you just love sitting by the firepit next to the river and listen to the water rippling along??!!
This property is everything as advertised. Beautiful home and location. Home is absolutely spectacular and so are the views. Our host / owner Randle took care of everything. Easy check in and checkout. Randle gave us great recommendations on food and activities. He is amazing host. We hope to return.

Glad your stay at Eagles Nest was wonderful!!
Come back anytime!
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!!!

Always great to hear about your stay at Eagles Nest! Come back anytime!
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.

Sorry I took so long to respond to your kind words. I just say this. We are glad you loved your Montana experience at Eagles Nest!!
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.
Nothing more to say than amazing. Our first night there we sat outside and watched the deer cross the river. Eagles. Moose. All part of our trip. The home was definitely set up well. Randle called us prior to our trip so we felt fully prepared upon arrival. What an amazing time!!! Definitely recommend!!

We always love to her how wonderful your experience was. We call it Montana dreams!!
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!

Great to hear about the 'peacefulness" of your stay at Eagles Nest! When I read your review it was clear to me that your experience is the same as ours every time we go there. We call that feeling Montana Dreams!! Come back anytime!
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!

Glad you enjoyed your stay! The fire pit on the patio is a big favorite of everyone! When I designed the home and the location on the river we wanted it close to the water so you could listen to it ripple by. Come back any time!
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.

AMAZING VIEWS !! PERFECT LOCATION AND EASY TO GET TO
Let me start by saying WOW!!!!!! We were impressed from the moment we pulled up to the house. You walk into the house and what is the first thing that catches your eye? The RIVER!!! We had a group of 8 and there was plenty of room. The owner Randle was extremely helpful from start to finish. He made sure we arrived safe and had everything that we needed. He even gave us suggestions on what to do and where to go. I could not have asked for anything more. We look forward to staying here again the next time we are in Montana. Thank you Randle!

Hey Danny I am very glad you and your family enjoyed your first trip to Montana!! We would love to have you back again! When I built Eagles Nest, I changed the downstairs layout dramatically from my original blueprints in order to give a panoramic view of the river so it was cool to see your review and mention it! Thank you! Randle
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.

Julie, So glad you and your family had a fabulous vacay! We all need one after this year!! Come back and visit anytime
This property is well stocked and has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Randy was great at communicating with us and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals!
This home is beautiful! Waking up and ending the day around the firepit next to the river never got old. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary...wanted a quiet spot. It was perfect. Beautiful setting! 3 bedrooms ..each with own bathrooms ..huge kitchen. We did no cooking all is there if you want to.
Thank you for the getaway!
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.
