Map & Owner's Profile
Huge Affordable Log Home in Whitefish - Dont Miss it!
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
The property is amazingly located in that it is central to both Whitefish and Kalispell, easily accessable to the airport and most importantly is completely tranquil in its location in the woods. It sits at the back of a 10 acre lot and has another 20 acres of raw land to the North of it and has over 1,800 acres of State owned land on the other side of the dirt road at the end of the driveway. Everything is so close yet you feel completely isolated and hence completely relaxed when you are on this property.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
This is a custom built Eureka Log Home - which is headquartered to the North of Whitefish in Eureka Montana. The home has a fantastic open floor plan where families can reunite with one another. That is the intention of this log home - to bring people together for a special experience. It feels like you are in an open lodge because the ceilings are vaulted to 30 feet in the air and when you wake up in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee with ten deer sitting in the front lawn or a group of wild turkeys - there is nothing like it.

Awesome Vacation, Perfect Location

Location, Location, Location! This is the very best place we have stayed at and we have been going to the Flathead valley for the last 30+ years, it is so convenient for all local attractions and just simply beautiful. (Previously we had mostly camped and hotel/motel which we won't be doing now!) What an awesome abode you have Bob, from the moment we drove up, it felt like home. It was neat and clean, had comfy beds, all necessary (plus some) amenities and that Wolf stove!!! A wonderful unit that made cooking fun with everyone taking turns! We were there for 5 days over New Years with 6 young adults ranging in age from 24-28 (our 3 kids plus their friends) and we had the best time with our family and friends. We skied, oudoor ice skated, bowled, hiked around the property, shopped, went to a movie and had a great meal on New Years eve at McGarrys. I would have to say for me, the best was spending quality time with our family in a truly lovely home. We played alot of games and talked and laughed... the techy equipment didn't get turned on even once! Not even the TV's! Thanks so much for the wonderful holiday and we hope to be back to enjoy your Valley playground in the summer!
Owner response:Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I will be adding a "home theatre" experience to the master bedroom when I get up there in January and by April will have re-painted the deck and hopefully made some other improvements to the property that makes everyones stay just a little bit nicer. The common area is without TV on purpose for all the reasons that you have mentioned and re-connecting with family and friends (and with myself) is exactly why I own the home. Thank you again and I feel truly blessed that I have this home in beautiful Whitefish as a getaway of my own. Happy New Year and all the best to you and your family in 2012. Bob

My family and I rented Bob's cabin for the week of Christmas 2011. The cabin's location is perfectly located in Whitefish and very near Kalispell, near everything you need as far as shopping and attractions. We found the cabin very comfortable and has all the creature comforts you would have in your own home. Bob and Pat, the caretaker, were very accommodating and made the cabin rental a great experience. The kitchen is well appointed and the bedding very comfortable. The home is spacious and relaxing. My family and I went on several walks outside the property and saw deer in the front yard several mornings as well. My family and I also loved the privacy the cabin offered with its large property. Glacier National Park is roughly 30 minutes away and going there is what I would describe a religious experience. Big Mountain in Whitefish is roughly 30 minutes away as well and the views from there were breathe taking. I would highly recommend this cabin to families of all age ranges. My family and I look forward to renting Bob's cabin again God willing, in the near future. Thanks again Bob, Ozzy and Carolynn.
Owner response:It makes me so happy when a renter enjoys my home, the area its in and especially Whitefish and Glacier National Park as much as I do. I took great pains to find a very centrally located home that was just enough off of the beaten path to enjoy the wonderful nature of the area but not so far off that it is a challenge to get in and out easily. Returning renters always get a discount and I look forward to hearing from you next year. Thanks so much for the kind words, Bob

This is THE perfect place, so close to Whitefish and Kalispell but quiet and secluded. We were looking for a home in the woods but also a place near a town with good restaurants. The home is charming and well appointed --- cozy for two but enough room for family and friends. We highly recommend this property and hope we have the opportunity for a return visit. We also found the owner very agreeable and easy to work with.

We were looking for a nice log home for our vacation in Whitefish - and we found it with Bob's home. It very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen is amazing -it has everything you need and more. We ate all of our meals at the house -cooked on the big Wolf range and the outdoor barbecue/grill every day. The house has a very nice layout , easily accomodated our 2 families and 2 dogs. The beds were very comfortable and both bathrooms were roomy. We saw deer every day and wild turkeys close by. We managed to squeeze alot of fun into one week. We Ziplined, went whitewater rafting, climbed Big Mountain , went fishing, went to as many of the farmers markets in the Flathead Valley that we could, drove the Going to The Sun Road, and saw the Many Glacier Area of GNP and more. We had a wonderful time . It is a beautiful area -stunning scenery and very friendly people. We gladly recommend Bob's Montana Log Home to others and we are already thinking about going back!

Great place for a vacation of any kind. Every summer my wife and I take our family of nine (grandkids, five) on an adventure in the U.S. This was the third time we have rented Vacation Homes They all have been very good experiences; this is the Best! Right in the middle of so many awesome views and adventures. When you stay here, be sure to spend enough time to see it all! Great for all ages, too. Wildlife, seclusion, and a very beautiful, spacious, and comfortable home away from home.

We enjoyed our stay greatly. The log cabin houses a large group well with its large kitchen and two wood burning fireplaces. The setting is private and beautiful. The location was great for Kallispell shoppers and Whitefish skiers. Robert was good to deal with and the price is fair. We plan to go back. And were happy to recommend it based on our experience.

Best Trip out of Three

My wife and two kids and their two friends had a really wonderful time up at this home. The kids each had their own king sized beds and there were lots of trails and woods to explore right out the front door even though the home had a great central location. We went into Glacier two seperate days and really enjoyed that but nothing was as nice as coming home and sitting out on the big front deck and relaxing in the evenings. My wife loved the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom and I loved the huge kitchen and comfy bed (high off the ground). We all loved just getting away from it all here and my kids are already begging to take them back next year. Thanks a lot Bob!!

I live in Whitefish and rented Bob's cabin for a reunion. It was perfect. Even for me, living in one of the most beautiful spots on earth---I felt like I was on vacation! Cozy, but with plenty of room to spread out. Huge, terrific kitchen with everything one could possibly need. Loved the porch with the best star gazing ever!
Owner response:Thank you so much for the nice review Deb. I am so glad you and your friends had a great time out at my place!

If you're looking to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of your daily life, this is the perfect place to stay. Whether it's just two of you or a whole group, this house accommodates with amenities to suit both. The master bedroom and bath is conveniently located on the first floor with a second floor that could easily sleep 7 friends or relatives. The fully-stocked, gourmet kitchen and family room has an open layout, which makes it great for entertaining and relaxing. Two wood-burning fireplaces keep the house warm and inviting. The best part about staying here is that there's total privacy. Neighboring woods on all sides, this is the ultimate retreat yet an easy drive to all the good restaurants in the area, skiing and GNP. Highly recommend.
