Beautiful house on the river

We had a wonderful experience staying at this house. It is a great location to see lots of areas around Flathead Lake and go to Glacier Park. Stephen was able to assist us when our rental car would not start and we were able to get a way for us to get to our event. We know that wouldn’t have happened if we stayed somewhere else. The house is great and we had plenty of room to spread out.

We had a few campfires at night and the guys enjoyed fishing behind the house! We saw many deer! Stephen was so helpful and had great communication! We made so many wonderful memories!

Best Vacation Home Ever!

We arrived to a VERY clean home that exceeded our expectations! Wild life was abundant and we went fly fishing for our first time right behind the house. Stephen was highly responsive to our questions and was amazingly helpful with providing information about the property and area. 6 of us and the house could have easily accommodated a few more. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing worry free vacation.

An Absolute Dream

I cannot say enough amazing things about this property. First of all EVERYTHING, you need is there. We never ran out of supplies due to how stocked the kitchen and bathrooms were. The home was immaculately clean and with a large group like ours we had so much space. It truly is a slice of heaven, my family is still talking about it and how they can't wait to go back. Stephen is great about getting back to me when I had questions, with no extended delays at all. Seeing the deer and the geese in the backyard was such a treat for us. This home is the perfect getaway. Cannot wait to return...

Peaceful Retreat by the River

Our extended family of 3 generations spent a very happy week in the this wonderful retreat by the Swan River. We had record high temperatures so the fishing was a challenge, but our sons still managed to catch a few. The grandchildren had a blast playing at the edge of the river and Stephen generously had life jackets on hand for our use. On the hottest days we enjoyed tubing down the river in front of the house. There are no neighbors nearby, so privacy abounds. The massive kitchen was big enough for our group of 10 to enjoy dinners at home. The house was supplied with everything we could possibly need, and the large rooms comfortably housed all of us. We went in to Glacier a few times and explored the cute town of Bigfork. But some of our favorite memories were the hours spent by the river. We couldn’t have asked for a better host and property!

Dream Home

We spent a week here after traveling the National Parks for a week. It was so relaxing and accommodating that our kids didn't want to even leave to get dinner out! We stayed around the house as much as possible. Between the floats, the fishing rods, the putting green, the books, the firepit, and the chairs by the river, we had no reason to leave. Deer came to visit every night. Everything you can think of was provided in this home, including "real" shampoo and soap. The amenities, furnishings, and appliances were high-end and there is tons of space for even the largest of families. We have already discussed coming back in the winter and again next summer. The owners are so easy to work with and very friendly. If someone absolutely made me give one suggestion of improvement, I would be hard-pressed to find one, but would offer as a "dream list" - a hot tub in a gazebo by the river. However, if they add that, they may have to evict us!

What a special place!

What a special place this is! Ten members of my family came from Missoula, MT and Fairhope, AL to spend the week together. From the moment we pulled into the drive, this house and property met or exceeded all expectations. We couldn't stop repeating "This place is incredible." We made a few day trips to Glacier National Park, but spent the majority of our time here enjoying the Swan River House. Our days were spent either by or in the river, and our nights were spent visiting and making s'mores by the fire pit. Lots of fishing took place, but apparently the fish weren't interested in joining the fun. We anchored floats to the river rocks and floated the hours away with stunning views. We soaked in our days here, and we're already dreaming of our return. Thanks to Stephen for a fantastic experience! We lacked not a single comfort or luxury during our stay. We're taking memories with us and leaving behind nothing but good vibes for those lucky enough to enjoy a stay here in the future. Don't forget to look at the stars!

The Peaceful House

I can't begin to say enough about this lovely piece of property. As soon as we drove in calm fell over all of us. The house sits back off the road making for a very quiet setting. The grounds are stunning with a variety of trees. Best of all it sits on the Swan River for a tranquil view. Inside, the rooms were well appointed with lovely bedding and interesting artwork. I love when a rental has great family room seating with throws. The bedrooms and baths were lovely. Off of the family room is a fourth bedroom/reading room. Very large room with 2 trundle beds and 3 comfortable upholstered chairs. Lots of windows to view the river. In the kitchen you will find EVERYTHING you need. Two type of coffee makers and tons of pots and pans. But the back porch and yard was the best. Tons of chairs to sit in both close to the house and next to the river. There was even a hammock! We loved the ease of taking tubes out of the river right there with no driving to a location. If you want to travel to Montana to explore Glacier Park and the region you should definitely try to stay in this house.

Ideal location

This was a great vacation home. Right on the shallow waters of the Swan River, right outside the amazing back yard of this amazing homeThe house is open concept with great kitchen and awesome appliances and cooking utensils for those chefs out there. Great 3 rooms in the main house with very comfortable beds and 3 1/2 bathrooms. Also an additional cabin right outside with plenty beds to accommodate 6 more people maybe more. Host and hostess (Stephen and Maria) were always available. They provided all the tubes and life jackets. Had fishing rods and bicycles. Very very complete and comfy home. If we ever come back this will totally be where we will stay This house is a great location for tubing but is about 45 min to Glacier Ntn’l Park 25 min to Kalispell and 45 to Whitefish. Cute cute towns worth visiting

Best Vacation Ever!

From even before we arrived, Stephen ensured this would be a bucket list trip for our entire family. The house and property were impeccable, and we could not have wished for a better time for everyone. Bigfork was an absolute hidden gem and having Kalispell nearby was a major plus. Glacier, Whitefish, Polson, Hungry Horse and Polebridge are all nearby as well. In short, this spot has it all. We'll be back again!
