Come to "Where Cowboys Dream" for a week and you will want to stay for a lifetime! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to show your family what the "wild west" was truly like and yet stay in a newer, modern home with all new furnishings in 2007, located right on the wild and scenic Middle Fork of the Flathead River!
You will begin and end your day on the deck, with coffee in the morning or wine in the evening, watching the river, looking into pristine wild woods beyond and the magnificent peaks of the Rocky Mountains and Glacier National Park. There are Bald Eagle nests across the river and ducks, geese and bald eagles fly and fish the river...AWESOME!
From here you can follow your spirit, be it exploring the Park and Hungry Horse Reservoir 3 miles away, skiing or shopping in Whitefish just 15 miles away, wetting a hook right over the back fence for cutthroat and rainbow trout, or rafting down the river to experience the "birds eye view",exploring the historic towns of Kalispell and the entire Flathead Valley. You are centrally located, only 15 miles and a world away from Glacier International Airport, 7 miles from West Glacier and the entrance to Glacier National Park, 18 miles to the metro center of Kalispell and 26 miles to Big Fork, a charming town on the north end of Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater body of water west of the Mississippi.
Located in Hungry Horse, Mt., a charming small town, there are gas stations, restaurants, a supermarket, churches and many quaint, family owned businesses to explore at your leisure.
When you return home, you will find "Where Cowboys Dream" affords you a full kitchen for meals, state of the art entertainment (if unbridled stars and watching for eagles isn't enough for you... no lights!), and you will sink your happy, tired body into luxurious beds and linens for the best night's sleep you have ever had. Fully rested, you can do it all over again tomorrow!

Dear Mike and Peggy, and lucky guests to follow... We had so little time here and didn't leave enought time to write anything that would adequately describe our experience here! We left early and came home late, exhausted and yet exhilirated from the day. We saw the Osprey several times "fishing" in the river.We think we saw the eagle and a sweet deer drinking on the opposite bank. We saw the hummingbird many times. We're on our way to the Stanton lake Trail now and Great Northern mountain wo we can't comment on that yet... Our favorites were Avalanche Creek Trail to Avalanche Lake. Hidden Lake Overlook to Hidden Lake which was gorgeous but a bit scary (height)...Grinnel Glacier Trail, Grinnel Glacier Overlook and BEST OF ALL...Highline Trail to Granite Glacier Chalet and down to the "Loop". We saw a bighorn sheep at 1 foot distance..goats too many to count that we could have petted had we wanted, marmots that followed us along the trail...a moose, no elk yet...a mama bear and two baby cubs!! Beautiful beargrass....glacier lillies and flowers we grew to recognize but didn't know the names of.... So much done....so much left undone! Thanks for the comfort of your lovely piece of Montana...We will never forget it! John, Mary, J.J. and Jeff christensen.

Thank you for the lovely accomodations. We had a wonderful time. We floated the river a ccouple times, did some swimming and boating in Lake McDonald. Hiked to Avalanche lake and St. Mary Falls in the park. My mom saw the eagle walking on the shore and then fly. There are so many more things to see and do...we can't wait to come back! Drew amd Gemie, Jonathan(8), Emma(5), Steve and Gwen, Austin(13, Kaitlyn(11). PS-We broke an icecube tray so we bought a couple new ones.

Our vacation was excellent, and the home is wonderful! We saw the eagle and deer across the river. Besides enjoying Glacier NP, we white water rafted and took the kids to the Amazing Fun Center. Their favorite were the maze, putt-putt, and bumper boats. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! Papa Richard and Nana, Matt & Sarah, Keagan(5), Braden(3), and Marin(1).

We just bought this wonderful home, just got back from furnishing it with a mixture of new and antique pieces, luxury linens and even though we were working like crazy, we cried when we had to leave the Mama eagle and her nest, Dad flying in food across the river, and the exquisite and pristine views! We know you will enjoy it!
