About this property

Retro-Modern Cabin in the Pines

Greybeard is a custom-built vacation home on a private, ½-acre wooded lot. This unique property was completely rebuilt in 2015 and has been upgraded to include every modern comfort & technology, while keeping its classic1980s charm.

There's abundant natural light and air -- every room has several windows and/or skylights. Surrounding the house on three sides are over 750 ft² of illuminated boardwalks, stairways, and wood decks that seem to float out into the forest. Forced-air central heat and A/C, double-glazed windows, insulating open-cell privacy blinds, and foam insulation ensure year-round comfort.

On the main level is a roomy kitchen and dining area that can accommodate from 2-6 guests and overlooks the multi-level rear deck. In the soaring living room, sink into the leather furniture and enjoy a built-in entertainment system with 55" LG Smart TV and fiber-optic WiFi. Easy plug-ins if you choose to use your own streaming or gaming device. And stream music from your own Bluetooth device on the soundbar. Spend an evening curled up in front of the cozy, eco-friendly electronic fireplace.

The downstairs bedroom is in its own wing with direct access to the rear deck. This amazing sanctuary has 6 windows and a skylight, yet remains completely private even when the blinds are open. Custom built cabinets provide plenty of storage. The Stern & Foster pillow top queen mattress delivers a great night's sleep and a ceiling fan.

Up the circular staircase, you'll find another amazing bedroom that overlooks the treetops. This light-filled aerie has a queen-size Tempur Pedic adjustable mattress, a 32" Samsung "The Frame" Smart TV. Easy plug ins if you choose to use your own streaming or gaming device, an opening skylight, a custom-built desk and closet.

The spacious bathroom has under-floor heating, a large walk-in shower, and vanity. (Please note that the bathroom is adjacent to the kitchen.)

There's off-street parking for three vehicles.

Just steps from the door is a little-known open space with over 600 acres of pine forest, wildlife, and hiking trails with views of the Swan Mountains and Glacier National Park in the distance.

A large store, coffee hut, and gas station are just four blocks away; Super 1 and Safeway supermarkets are a 10-minute drive. Historic downtown Whitefish is a short 10 minute drive, Big Mountain Ski Area is 20 minutes, Glacier National Park is 30 minutes, Glacier International Airport is 15 minutes, and the North Kalispell shopping area (Costco, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, etc.) is 10 minutes south.

For your comfort and security, a home automation system provides keyless PIN entry, programmable central heat & air conditioning, automated exterior lighting, a programmable safe for valuables and smoke/Co2 alarms.

Road Trip stay

Stayed here on a road trip to Glacier National Park. Scenic and quiet drive to the park and other activities we wanted to partake in as well as downtown whitefish. Beautiful little cabin that was in a quiet neighborhood. Patio was great for having dinner with great views after a long day or in the morning where we got to see some turkeys. The house was very clean and had instructions for everything along with all the amenities we looked for. Would stay here again!

Attention to detail

It seems like every detail of the property has been well thought out and planned. The automation and tec seems like lots could not work right, but everything was flawless. Place was clean and cozy. Privacy is decent considering it’s in a populated area the neighbourhood was super quite.

Amazing Stay!

We absolutely loved staying here. It was the cleanest rental I’ve ever had. The location is perfect - easy access to the highway to get to the park, with both downtown Whitefish and Kalispell close by. The property owner was very nice and made checking in/out a breeze. Next time we’re in Montana, we’ll be looking to stay here again.

Great place to relax after a day of hiking and just a few minutes to historic Whitefish where you can find a lot of restaurants and shopping.

A little bit of heaven

Check in was easy. Tom was quickly responsive for any questions we had. The place is immaculate. Attention to all the little details is exceptional (lighted steps to get into the front door, extra pillows and blankets, plenty of towels, kitchen utensils fully stocked, Keurig with coffee options provided, bed was comfortable with the softest sheets and down comforter, cool lighting throughout the house, lots of windows to bring in natural light, patio with table and chairs where clean and usable, heated floors in the bathroom was a extra nice touch) Tom has put in a lot of extra thought into making a stay here warm and inviting.. Honestly,, there is nothing I would change. It is not a huge home but the space is well utilized. Cleanest VRBO we have ever rented.

Great property

We loved everything about the property! It was clean, cozy, and well located. The owner was easy to get ahold of and responded quickly to any messages. Just a heads up, the entrance and parking are actually through the alley behind the house. GPS will take you to the front which was a little confusing because there was no entrance there. Once I went around back, there was a very nice parking area and super cute entrance.

Absolutely beautiful and well equipped!

We are outdoor enthusiast and spend a lot of time skiing and hiking. This house was right in the middle of it all! Trails and skiing galore. I was also happy to be close to the grocery store and the movie theater. The house its self was beautiful and had every thing we wanted. I can't wait to come back to stay in the summer to hike Glacier National Park. We already made our reservations.

Well Appointed Getaway Outside Glacier

The reviews we read about this Retro-Modern Cabin in the Pines were spot on. This two-bedroom, single bath house was super clean, tech-savvy, comfortable, well-appointed & oh so quiet. It was about a 40-minute drive to the Glacier park entrance and close to restaurants, shopping, gas and grocery stores. Be aware the upstairs bedroom is accessible by a narrow spiral staircase. It was perfect for our college-aged daughter, while my husband & I took the downstairs bedroom. The beds were very comfortable and we loved the skylights and all the windows for natural light. The only other thing to be aware of is the walkway to get into the house has a few steps, and once inside, there are a couple of steps to access the different rooms of the house. Would definitely recommend this home -- it was the perfect landing place after a day of hiking in Glacier National Park.

Amazing Modern Getaway

Greybeard was the PERFECT place for our trip to Glacier NP. With two very distinct bedrooms and several lounge areas (indoors and out) it was just right for us and our 2 young adult daughters. The owners thought of everything possible to make our stay everything we could have wished for and more. It was very clean, updated, and even though in a residential neighborhood, very secluded to feel like there was no one else nearby. It was close to the park as well as to Whitefish which has great places to eat and shop. Highly recommend booking this gem if you have the opportunity! I know we plan to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Tom Dietrich

Host profile image
I spent 30 years in the hospitality industry, starting in Yellowstone National Park and eventually working all over the world, before settling back down in Montana. I'm really excited to be able to share my amazing small house and the big, beautiful state of Montana with you!

Why they chose this property

I bought this property 20 years ago after falling in love with it at first sight. It's small and quirky, and the original owners were obsessed with over-building everything. It suited me perfectly!

I moved out of the area for work, and the house became a long-term rental until 2014. Renovating the house took more than 1½ years, everything except the foundation and studs was replaced. Most of what you see today was done by me personally.

Because it's a smaller house, a lot of design and effort went into making the best use of the available space, without making drastic structural changes.

What makes this property unique

The location is central to downtown Whitefish, Kalispell, and Glacier NP. The property is in a quiet residential neighborhood with easy access to the main highway, but it feels more like a remote mountain cabin.

Despite the wooded hillside setting, I've tried to create a more sophisticated and contemporary vibe than you'll typically find in Whitefish vacation rentals. A lot of extra attention and expense was given to ensure maximum comfort, convenience, and security.

Unique to this area is a 600-acre forest preserve that's literally across the street from the house. You can wander for hours on easy trails without seeing another person. There are fantastic views of the Swan Range and the peaks in Glacier NP from here. Don't be surprised if this is the discovery and highlight of your trip!
