THE HOUSE
Located on a private cul-de-sac in the Wood Run subdivision, this well-appointed, three-story home (actually a large duplex) offers Ski In/Ski Out accessibility to Chair #6 from the Home Again ski way. Perfect for family vacations and large groups, the house can easily accommodate 12 guests with its 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. There's plenty of room for parking with a 2-car garage (with opener) and paved area for 2 or more cars.
The GROUND FLOOR is the perfect launching pad for the day's adventure. It has a den with a coffee table, couch and TV as well as indoor storage space for all of your outdoor gear. From the back door, you can hit the powdered slopes of Big Mountain during the winter months or set off on a hike during the summer. When you return from a long day outdoors, just drop your gear and hop into the private hot tub to relax.
Also on the Ground floor is a bedroom with a full bed, a full bath and a separate laundry room. Up a short half-flight of stairs is the first of three Master Suites with a king bed, TV, full bath, sleeper sofa and coffee table.
On the MAIN LEVEL level is a large living area with vaulted ceiling where you can relax and watch TV, listen to a favorite CD, or just watch the flames flicker in the gas fireplace. This open area also has a large dining area and kitchen with eat-at bar which is fully stocked with silverware, dishes, cooking utensils and specialty appliances. Sliding glass doors open to the large covered deck where you can grill up the day's catch or just sit back and relax with a cocktail while enjoying the sweeping views of The Big Mountain.
Above the Main Level are Master Suites #2 and #3 as well as the Loft. Both masters have their own Television. Master #2 has a King bed and a full bath with Jacuzzi tub, double vanity and a separate shower. Completing this suite is a walk-in closet and a balcony that looks down the mountain toward Whitefish. A half-flight of stairs takes you up to the Loft that overlooks the Living room. The Loft has an office area plus a Queen sleeper sofa. Adjacent to the loft is Master #3 complete with a Queen bed and a bath with a Jacuzzi tub, separate shower and double vanity. Sliding glass doors open to a covered deck with sitting area which overlooks scenic Big Mountain.

THE WHITEFISH MOUNTAIN RESORT...
With 3000 acres of terrain and over 300 inches of snowfall annually, the resort is famous for its snow ghosts, unsurpassed views of Glacier National Park, and surprisingly few people. Whitefish Mountain Resort (Formerly known as "Big Mountain Resort") is among the 10 largest ski resorts in the US and is consistently ranked in the Top North American Ski Resorts by SKI Magazine.
THE TOWN...
Whitefish, "The Recreation Capital of Montana" is located at the base of Big Mountain. A walk down wide Central Avenue reveals a vibrant mix of businesses: the family shoe store, barbershop, hardware store, drugstore, and sport shops -- interspersed with mouth-watering restaurants, a variety of bars, a coffee house, a brewery, Broadway-caliber theatre, art galleries, and western shops. With its covered sidewalk main street leading to the cultural arts center, historic depot museum, and public library, this quaint, picturesque western town offers visitors a change from the fast-paced, hustle and bustle.
ADVENTURE...
The Whitefish area is a year-round outdoor playground. In warmer months, from June through September, visitors soak up mountain sun- boating on Whitefish Lake, rafting the southern boundary of Glacier Park, cycling trails through deep green forests, and golfing some of the Northwest’s finest courses. September ends in a glorious profusion of color as the birch, tamaracks, and aspen turn gold. The color lasts well into October, allowing plenty of time to enjoy scenic drives and hikes. By late November, winter arrives, which means skiing and snowshoeing, sleigh rides and dogsledding. Spring finds us rummaging closets for fly rods, hiking boots and binoculars for the spectacular birding.
