Great little getaway. The cabin was wonderful, comfortable, private. Its great for a romantic anniversary or honeymoon spot.. look forward to going back!
We had a wonderful time at Mikki’s cabin! It was perfect for our week relaxing and exploring Whitefish and Glacier NP. The cabin was clean and very comfortable with all of the amenities we needed; it made the perfect place to come home to after long hikes and other adventures. It’s close enough to Whitefish to make going into town for dinner, or ice cream!, easy. And the drive from town is through one of the prettiest valleys I’ve ever seen! We hope to be back!
I could live here! I travel a bunch and have yet to see a better-appointed renal home. The pantry was better stocked than my own and had everything we could have needed. The view into the valley was incredible, as was the drive in. The bed was fantastic!! I really appreciated having bear spray available, although we saw no bears. I hope to stay there again someday.
This cabin is beautiful and cozy. While we were using it to take a break from the Glacier National Park area, you could absolutely stay here while you were visiting the park. The drive to the cabin is also stunning. Mikki and Bill have thought of literally everything to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. Communicatuon with Mikki was great, and there are notes throughout the cabin to give directions on how to use things. Do not hesitate to rent this wonderful property.
Those three words really describe this beautiful "cabin in the woods". This was the first time that we had been to this part of Montana and this was the perfect place to stay for lots of reasons. It is not far from Glacier National Park, and it is very close to the town of Whitefish, which we found charming with lots of good places to eat. Mikki was a wonderful communicator from the start and she was ALWAYS available to answer questions and make good suggestions on things to do and places to eat. And it is the best equipped VRBO home that we have rented. Mikki has thought of everything! If you are looking at this property, rent it! You won't be disappointed. And when you are there, be sure to read the story in the magazine on the coffee table about what made Mikki and Bill want to retire in this area, and all of the planning that went into making this such an extraordinary cabin. It was obviously a real labor of love, and it is a true work of art! This is not just a property, it is a home, and that's exactly how it feels from the time you walk in the door!
The cabin was a great place for solitude and getting away! It was very well stocked with things for the kitchen and cooking. The owners were very responsive.
What a great stay! My wife and I really enjoyed this beautiful property. Our peaceful evenings on the West facing patio we really nice. Definitely would visit again.
We loved our stay here. The cabin had everything we needed and much more. Great owners who offered advise and answered any questions. Great location from Whitefish and Glacier National Park but secluded away from crowded vacationers. Hope to return some day!
The coziest cabin! Such a peaceful place, tucked in the woods making it feel private and in the middle of nature. Just what I was looking for! We sat on the back patio every morning with a cup of coffee and watched the hummingbird visits. A few deer made nearby visits. We ventured down the trail to the pond and tried to catch a fish. Though we weren’t successful, the hike was fun. The cabin is well appointed with everything one could need & the bed was very comfortable. Thank you for the wonderful stay!
Everything about this cabin was amazing! This was our 2nd stay because we liked it so much the first time. Michele did a great job hosting us and she is just a wonderful human being. I would highly recommend this property and we will be back again in the future.
Where do I start? The cabin was absolutely amazing! They left special treats that were amazing. The kitchen had everything you needed. The peacefulness was priceless. I loved waking up and looking at a mountain. I was so inspired by their cabin I will be building one myself. Would highly recommend!!
Listen to the reviews and book this cabin! It’s perfect and has so much character. The property is amazing. It is very close to town yet still feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Enjoyed the porch views every hour of the day.
We had a fantastic time at the cabin. It was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we could have possibly needed during our time in Whitefish. It’s close to the town but also a world away. We will stay again! Thank you so much.
We have stayed at numerous properties in the area. This is our favorite. Clean. Quiet. It is ideally suited for a couple. Convenient to both Whitefish and Kalispell. The hosts are great. Everything as advertised, and more.
We fell in love with this perfect cabin in the woods. It was spot-on for what we were looking for, for a quick getaway. We had such a relaxing time by the fire after a long day of skiing and snowboarding. It's a quick beautiful ride into Whitefish. They thought of everything and even had a Vitamix:) Soft pillows, sheets, fabulous toiletries, coffee, and even wood for the fire. What an amazing home!!! They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and to insure we had a lovely time. This place is a GEM!
This is, hands down, our favorite vacation rental....ever! It is beyond perfection. The location is wonderful!! It’s so very private and tucked into the woods, but amazingly close to town. The cabin has soooooo many wonderful touches. It is beautifully designed, built, and decorated. We want to live there! I cannot overuse the word “perfection” while describing everything about this beautiful cabin. The wood stove was amazing, and wood/kindling/paper were ready and waiting. when we arrived. So thoughtful! Mikki is wonderfully communicative and such a wonderful host. Stop looking. This is the place you want to book. Seriously, it is. Stop looking. This is it!
This cabin is perfect in every way!! Our only mistake was our stay was much too short!! The cabin is secluded yet only minutes to Whitefish & also close to GNP. While the pictures of this cabin on the listing are spectacular it is 100x better in real life! As soon as we drove up our worries went far away. We had the best 5 days here, by far the best vacation we have ever had!!! We were very lucky with the weather & spent the evenings on the back porch with wine enjoying the quiet. Every morning several deer came and hung out with us. The views are incredible from every angle outside & inside the reclaimed lumber and attention to detail are unmatched! This cabin had everything you need: fully equipped kitchen, exceptional linens, Aveda bath products, fishing gear for the private lake, a short hiking trail right out the door. This is the PERFECT gateway location for a couple wanting to escape noise & crowds. The hostess was always very helpful with any questions & very easy to communicate with. We can’t wait to return!!!! This was truly the BEST experience ever!!!!
Mikki & Bills cabin is absolutely perfect!! What a fabulous weekend for our anniversary getaway. The scenery is unbelievable & so secluded yet a short drive to town. Dog sledding close by & ordering door dash is perfect because you’ll never want to leave the cabin! Everything you could ever need. We can’t wait to return for a 3rd trip
Amazing cabin and location! Perfect setting outside of Whitefish. The cabin is as perfect as a cabin can get and the added touches of hospitality (local beer, Jam, candy, coffee) make it feel like home away from home!
