Peace and Quiet

Really enjoyed this property. Up on the mountain side with incredible views. Deer visited us every day right outside the windows. Will visit this property again. I will add to another reviewer that in the snow months you will need a four-wheeled or AWD to make it up the steep road and driveway. Was not a problem for us.

Beautiful peaceful home

This home is amazing. It’s so secluded and quiet yet minutes from town! Clean, cozy, and really has everything! Wood burning fireplace, a cozy loft to watch TV, full kitchen with basic amenities for cooking, firewood, all included. I can’t say enough good things about this home and I will definitely be back.

Christmas Getaway

Property very secluded - we liked that. Needed 4-wheel drive to get up the driveway but not an issue for us. Spacious. Clean. Comfy. The fireplace was awesome and cozy. Kitchen had some really poor quality pots / pans / cooking items. But overall, we would definitely return. Great views. Serene. Easy drive to town. Loved watching the deer roam the property. We really had a home away from home.

Great cabin

The cabin was welcoming and warm, it had tons of extra blankets, fans and space. The location was exactly what we wanted (remote but close to town) and they gave us early check in which was perfect as we are traveling with a 1yr old it was the foundation on an incredible and memorable trip. Thank you!

A total dream

This property truly surpassed all expectations. It was so clean and beautifully furnished. My family loved how close it was to Whitefish, Glacier, breweries, etc., but we also loved how quiet and secluded it felt. We were truly sad to leave, and I would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to the Whitefish area. Thanks so much for an incredible experience.

It was as a decent location .. however the house felt unattended and in need of some overall maintenance. Dirty hot nuts in drawers, cabinets and drawers disorganized and hard to find kitchen needs… sheets were rough and uncomfortable … the beds were comfortable; air vents were filthy and refrigerated needs a new filter and the keurig needs a new filter.. floaters we’re in our coffee water… sink and drain need a thorough cleaning as do the windows… also the sink in the master bath has issues draining.. the house has the potential to be amazing… but without care it is just mediocre.

Excellent Location, Quiet and Serene.

We stayed for over a week around Christmas and this was an excellent place to stay with tons of space! Bathroom was incredible and furniture cozy and clean. No issues with WiFi but you may need hotspot for video calls. Great location 10 minutes from town but you feel like you are far away. A few minor issues that were handled by Vacasa and taken care of were appreciated. Definitely worth a stay!
