About this property

Fabulous Mountain Creek Retreat Near Flathead Lake, Montana

Enter this gorgeous home by crossing a footbridge over a gurgling creek (may be seasonal) cascading down from the snow capped mountains. With beautiful Red Oak floors throughout, it was designed by a prominent Harvard architect.

With approximately 2,400 square feet of living space, our home has three bedrooms and two and a half baths. The master bedroom (with private deck)and bathroom (shower)are downstairs and two family bedrooms, (Queen + Two Twins) and a marble bath (tub) are upstairs.

The large great room has wall to wall windows and two decks overlooking the mountain creek and is highlighted by a pass through fireplace surrounded in marble and a large screen TV (satellite). The dining room, on the other side of the fireplace, has an oversize pine table that expands to seat eight comfortably.

The kitchen has a Jenn Aire range, double oven, dishwasher, microwave and double sink (with disposal) set in front of a large picture window. A laundry room and half bath are also on the first level.

The entryway is spectacular - a two story cathedral type ceiling with lots of windows.

The house is located on five+ acres on a private lane at the foot of the Mission Mountain Range approximately ten miles south of Polson, Montana and Flathead Lake. It is surrounded by woods and mountains and completely private yet close to everything.

Completely furnished, it is a perfect place for someone looking to get away from it all and get back to nature. In addition, there are many local places of interest nearby. There is a beautiful lake set up in the mountains which is a perfect place for a hike and/or picnic. There is a wildlife preserve for nature lovers. Flathead Lake and all that it has to offer is just 20 minutes away. Kalispell and Big Fork are a wonderfully scenic hour drive away and Glacier National Park is about one and a half hours away.

In the winter time, there is downhill skiing in the area and what better than to curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book?

Free high speed internet and WIFI on site and free satellite TV.

Perfect home for vacation.

The home was the perfect size for our 6-day vacation. It has everything needed and plenty of room. The owner was very good at communicating with us if we needed anything. Definitely a peaceful and quiet setting.

Awesome place! Home away from home

Everyone in the family loved the house. All the amenities you could want and more. Very comfortable for 5 adults and everyone felt right at home. It is definitely tucked away in the woods and the deer come right up to the house. We were pleasantly surprised from the moment we opened the door and the family hated to leave. It is a bit of a drive to Glacier but was worth it.

Great location for a family trip

We traveled to the area to see family and friends and the location was perfect. Far enough in the country to be quiet but close enough to town to be near everything. The house is nicely laid out and gave us and our kids the ability to have some space. The deck and surrounding areas are beautiful, even though the stream by the house was dry at the time we were there. The homeowner is very responsive and helpful. We’d love to stay there again.

Very clean and roomy. Had everything that you needed. Very comfortable. Stream right next to the porch. Deer everywhere. Like camping in the middle of the woods in a beautiful house.

Quiet Mountain Retreat

This is a wonderful place to stay. It is tucked in the woods and is so peaceful. We were fortunate to see many deer and baby fawns. Even though the creek was dried up for the summer, it was still so enjoyable. Lots of room to spread out for our family of four, and the most well stocked house we have rented. The owner has excellent communication and is very friendly. Short 20 minute drive to Flathead and 1:40 minutes to Glacier. You won’t regret staying here!

Beautiful, Comfortable and Calming

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home! The setting was just gorgeous. Loved seeing the deer from the kitchen and dining room windows! The home was extremely comfortable and perfect for our family! The owners were very easy to work with and extremely responsive! Every time I had a question they'd get back to me fast! They even called during our stay to make sure everything was to our satisfaction! If we ever find ourselves back in the Ronan area we would definitely stay here again!!!

Maddy's Wedding

We visit Ronan quite often and stay with family. This time, because of the amount of out of town family attending my niece's wedding, we had to make other lodging arrangements. This house is charming. There was enough rooms and bathrooms to make our stay comfortable. It was raining, so we didnt spend much time outside. However, if you do stay during the summer months, the outside is beautiful and has an amazing deck by a creek. The homeowner, Linda, made sure we were comfortable and could find the property. She was always in contact with me making sure we were OK even though she was working out of the country.

Fantastic!!

We rented this wonderful residence for our visit to the Flathead Valley. The house is warm and inviting. From the bridge crossing the creek to the house, to the comfortable beds, to the wildlife wandering through the area, to the private grand setting, this house has everything. We especially enjoyed sitting on the deck in the cool morning air having breakfast and planning the day events. We traveled to Glacier National Park, the National Bison Range (recommend getting there at 6:30 am to see the most wildlife), and Flathead Lake. Linda, our host was very helpful with all details and was ost gracious. We look forward to our next visit. We highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely Perfect

Found this house outside of Ronan, only minutes from Flathead Lake. My daughter was getting married on a ranch outside of Ronan and I was trying to find a house for her Ohio family and much to my amazement found this delightful house. It was only 2 miles from the ranch so our many trips to ranch preparing for the wedding/reception was a god send. The house is gorgeous and very homey, loved the creek right outside the living room French doors! Linda was very responsive which made our stressful time much more enjoyable. Hope we will be able to stay again under less stressful circumstances. Thank you

Needs updating

The location in Ronan was great, be sure to eat at Stella’s - great food, awesome coffee. Unfortunately, overall the house was disappointing. It was like staying at a relatives house built and decorated in the ‘80s. There was little inside decor to let you know you were in Montana. Black and gold bathroom fixtures, uncomfortable bed, and very dated well worn sheets and stained towels.. The master bathtub was very narrow and could use a good scrubbing, yes there were marble walls. The kitchen while fine, needs organization and thorough cleaning. I would hate to have the pot scrubber analyzed for bacteria! Also, the refrigerator was full of food, I assume owners and others. Vacation homes should be spotless and fridge emptied. There were baskets overflowing with Montana brochures, so many it was frustrating to find benefit. The house manual could use a good review as well. Fireplace was awesome but sofas incredibly uncomfortable and TV “tiny” for the size of living area. Finally the reason we rented this property were the online representations, especially the flowing stream - which was unfortunately bone dry. If I had known it was seasonal I would have rented elsewhere. I know I am being hard, but if you are going to be in the vacation home rental market, you occasionally need to spend some money as well.

There were 6 of us, all in our 40s. We had such a relaxing time. We saw deer in the backyard. The home is larger than what the pictures show. There is plenty of space to spread out or be together. Linda was always available and seems like such a lovely person! I'd love to talke my family back.

Wonderful location at the foothills of the mountains. We saw wildlife everyday. We got to watch a baby Robin take flight for its first time! The creek and walkway were perfect for family pictures. The house was much larger than we thought from the pictures, plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy nature! All around one of our favorite rentals so far!!

Everything was just lovely in this hidden treasure of a home. The creek was mesmerizing to watch, the wildlife abundant! If the weather had been more agreeable we would have taken advantage of the beautiful deck. Everything we needed was there and Linda was helpful to talk to about check in and out procedures! Thank you for the wonderful week- we would definitely book again

Excellent Relaxing stay

This house is absolutely wonderful. It is right at the base of the mountains in the middle of the woods. We had deer visitors every morning and saw tons of birds, which were easy to see through the ample windows. There was plenty of room throughout out the house along with ample outdoor seating. The owner was communicative and responsive. There were no issues with the stay and we couod not have asked for a more relaxing, picturesque place to stay!

Nice place for some R&R

This was a lovely place tucked away in the woods. The house is very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you could want for cooking, including some staple items and condiments, which was appreciated. We enjoyed walks around the area and then getting warmed up with a fire. It was a cold week!

Perfection by the mountains

There is absolutely nothing we would change about this property or location. The most well planned out and functional home I have been in; through all my travels. Clean, inviting, peaceful, beautiful. Linda is so amazing and i I hope to some day meet her in person. When you stay here, you are not just another number or name in their guest book. She genuinely cares and treats you like family. Thank you for everything!
