Property Description

It doesn’t get much better than this! Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully furnished and equipped, custom built 2 bedroom house located on the Flathead River frontage on over 100 private acres and 1 mile of river frontage. Experience unique privacy just 10 minutes from historic downtown Bigfork and Flathead Lake.

This stretch of the river where wildlife abound is famous for tube floating, fly fishing and seasonal kayaking. Common wildlife sightings include eagles, osprey, waterfowl, foxes, deer and occasionally moose and bear. Listen to the sound of the river rushing past the home as you lounge on the deck soaking in an amazing setting.

This elegant farmhouse style home will keep you in awe while you watch the river flow through the backyard from the back porch with a private boat dock. The main floor consists of the master bedroom suite featuring a king sized bed and a beautiful en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is located on the opposite side of the house and offers a queen bed with a bathroom in the hallway.

Situated on the large deck, guests can enjoy coffee in the morning and unbeatable sunsets at night over the Flathead river and Swan Mountain Range. 

This property is part of The Sapphire Collection, the ultimate in luxury. You'll also be greeted by 2 luxurious Stay Montana robes, Ella Cookies (our beloved family recipe), plus Huckleberry Pancake mix to make and enjoy during your stay!

Whitefish Mountain Resort was recently ranked #3 in the West by Ski Magazine readers! Visitors to the area can also enjoy ice fishing on Flathead Lake, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in Glacier National Park, and snowmobiling with one of the local outfitters.
