It’s a lovely lake home converted to a quaint and quiet inn with only 4-6 rooms all decorated nicely. The home is lovely. The outside could use a good power wash as there were a lot of spider webs. They have two nice decks for enjoying a cocktail while watching the sunset.

Awesome in right on the water. Beautiful views, close to a static small downtown environment with good restaurants, had kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boats for free for use of gas on a beautiful lake. Close to the tiki bar that has music on weekends where you can kayak paddle board too. Easy access to the beautiful lake. How’s were excellent. There was a young man who lives there? He was also extremely helpful and planning a day at glacier national Park, and surprised us, since we were leaving at 4:15 in the morning with lunch is packed and ready to go.

I picked the Inn because of their great reviews. I booked the Geronimo suite for 2 nights for a little get away. When I arrived my room was not ready- which wasn't a big deal but when it was ready I realized it was not the room I had booked. When I spoke to Kelly she dismissed my concern telling me someone else was in the room I booked and that this one was better because it had the ensuite bathroom. Later she did come and offer to move me the next day to the room I had booked but at that point I didn't want to deal with it. The room I had booked was supposed to be in the most private (and I had hoped quiet) part of the inn. The room she placed me in was on the main hall near the front door where I ended up being woken up at 5 am due to people entering. Overall I was just disappointed. I found it odd that they just moved me to a different room without even asking if it was ok- especially since I had paid slightly more when I booked for the room I wanted. That said the room was clean and comfortable and the owner was friendly enough- I just wasn't impressed and would not stay there again.

Awesome Getaway at Bigfork!
This extremely charming inn located on the bay at Bigfork was a wonderful, relaxing, and enjoyable stay. The service from the manager was incredible. Very friendly environment, and it had all the great amenities Including a pontoon boat ride on the lake! I would highly recommend a weekend or week’s stay! Right in town, it was so easy to get around without having to drive.

A fabulous stay.
Our check in was so much fun. Mark explain the origin of the house that is the inn. It was my partner's and my anniversary and as Mark learn of our purpose to stay there for the occasion a bottle of campange instanly appeared. The inn was comfortable and so convenient to restaurants and the play house. We even were asked to joined the guests in a pontoon ride. So fun and we will return.

Absolutely beautiful with gorgeous antiques, lots of space, flowers more beautiful than anywhere I've stayed and the owner, Kelly, is the greatest! Parking is a nightmare though as you can't get close to building to load or unload and have significant backing up to get out and could be blocked in by corn hole game going on but Kelly is great at helping find you a spot. Definitely recommend. Hope to go back again. The views of the bay are amazing, short walk to everything. Nice interaction with other guests. We wish we had stayed longer to fully enjoy the perks. Would hesitate to recommend to those with mobility disabilities as distance to walk from parking, took me multiple trips to get everything, and to fully use facilities you have stairs to rec room and to hot tub.

Lovely Inn so close to Main Street.
I would highly recommend this Inn right on the bay. Lovely views. You can walk 100 steps to the Main Street for food and shops. The home is lovely and guests can use almost any area. There was cereal and yogurt and fruit for breakfast. Coded button locks made it so easy to access. Would stay there again.

The location on the bay is great and Kelly, Monte and Mark are friendly and helpful. But during our stay a maintenance decision ruined the last full day of our trip. Early that morning their was a power outage, which was not the fault of the Inn. However, Monte made the decision to do some electrical work during the outage. The power company restored power but the power remained out downstairs where our room was located for nearly two more hours. We could not charge our phones or watches and had to shower with a flashlight. This unnecessary delay threw off our plans for the day (a 2 hour drive to St. Mary and Many Glacier). As a result, we were unable to do the hike we planned to do and missed our boat in Many Glacier. I will also share that parking at the Inn is difficult. The drive is narrow with only enough spaces for guests. The drive was often partially obstructed by patrons at the adjacent bar sitting drinking beer at a table placed in the driveway. Next time we travel we’ll stick with a regular hotel.

This location, accommodations and personal service was amazing. Kelly and Monty were incredible hosts who really made us feel like family. The continental breakfast presentation over the top with an assortment of breads, cheeses, cereal and fruit. We had brought fresh WA peaches which Kelly turned into several pies for her guests! They also offered a bar/casino on the same property. We will return in the winter to ski Montana. Thanks so much for a great vacation1

Loved our stay!
I highly recommend The Inn. The owners Kelly and Monte are super nice. Kelly’s Father built The Inn. Its spacious, cozy and lovely and it’s located right in Big Fork’s cute downtown. Just walk out the door, walk thru the small parking lot and there are all the shops and restaurants. You don’t have to drive and hassle with parking. The Inn has a nice kitchen with dishes, wine glasses, toaster...you name it. Kelly has all the drawers and cabinets marked with what they contain to make it easy to find what you want. Kelly leaves bagels and some type of fruit or berry on the counter for people. We sat on the back balcony at sunset with our wine and the view is beautiful of the waterway. We had a wonderful time and will return. The room was nice and comfy.
This is the view from the back balcony.
