Vacation Rentals by Owner

LOCATION IS GREAT

Cute little updated bungalow convenient to historic downtown. Our ten day stay was during an unusually warm spell which was challenging to keep the house cool during the day. The small a/cs in the bedrooms do not quite do the job, but the mornings were nice and cool, so that was helpful. Found two great restaurants in town -- Scottibellis and Capers. In Whitefish, the Whitefish Lake Golf Course has best food in town and if you are there when it's warm, their deck is fabulous for lunch or dinner, and if you play golf, the course is beautiful. In all, a delightful stay.

Owner response:We're sorry that you had difficulty keeping the house cool, but we do have detailed instructions on our information sheet. Apparently you didn't read or follow them or call us, because one day when we came to clean our vacation rental next door we noticed that you had the windows open and the air conditioners running. You're right that the air conditioners can't do their job when the house is allowed to heat up to the outside temperature. Next summer we'll post the instructions on the refrigerator. They really do work and we haven't had any complaints before.

Just want to let you know how much we enjoyed your charming home with all the amenities that one could hope for. My daughter didn't want to leave! You, as hosts, surpassed our expectations and we are so grateful for our enjoyable stay. I plan on returning next year!!

Away from home for the first time ever, away from family at large at the log home known as the Christmas House... But Tammy provided the perfect nest for our celebration with our daughter --- she had a tree waiting for us to decorate, a pointsetta and a complete kitchen so we could bake together. Thankyou for your attention to the small things that make all the difference !!! We had a joyful celebration, Blessings to you and your family.

A truly cozy bungalow - nicely furnished, very well supplied kitchen, and well-maintained. In a great location - easy walking distance to the old downtown area. This is a great value, and we look forward to staying here again.

Jeff and Tammy have turned what was once a forgotten home into a residence of first class ambience. Their rental is the real deal; unparalled value, quaintness, historic meaning, and perfect location. Forget about spending hundreds more for a showy, vulgar, and ultimately tasteless generic rental. This bungalow far surpasses the mundane lodgings that crowd this website. Simply put, it is a generous slice of comfort coupled with a genuine sense of the past. That the owners respect history is immediately evident, the home was recently added to the National Historic Registry, a fact they take honest pride in, justifiably so. All of which translates into caring from the owners. They call you to find out if all is well, make stops, not to monitor guests, but to make sure you have what you need. Their well honed devotion to detail is immediately apparent in the attention they give to the furnishings, property maintainence, and overall appearance of the dwelling. In short, they grant you all the privacy you want, but are available. None of this absentee landlord status for them, all without hovering. The location could not be better situated. A mere 35 or so minutes to Glacier, Flathead River is but a stone skip away, and the wonderful downtown of Kalispell with its seemingly endless selection of restaurants and first class unique shopping venues is not only walkable, but recommended for such. Doubt my credentials to judge? I was there a month, and that says it all, Bubba. Would I go back? In a heartbeat.

We've had a long history with Flathead region, returning here every year, we have finally found our perfect place to stay. Like so many others we love this charming Bungalow. Everywhere we look we see an interesting feature; the cabinets,the intricate arches, the different light fixtures. You're to be commended for you artistic sensibility and careful craftmanship. Thanks for all the thoughtful touches.

My sister & I were traveling from Seattle with my 2 small boys. This house fit our needs perfectly! The boys shared the smaller room, and we shared the Queen bed. The bed was super soft! The curtains really helped block out the light. The kitchen is FULLY stocked. We even made a roast in the crockpot. We loved the house has satellite tv (thank you!!) The couch and chairs are super soft and comfortable. We were visiting family, and the central location was awesome. We weren't too far from anyone! The house exceeded my expectations! Thanks so much.

I needed an affordable place to stay in Kalispell while attending a 4-day quilting class. The Elegant Bungalow was the ideal place. The name describes it perfectly -- it was spotless, extremely comfortable, and excellent location (an easy walk to downtown Kalispell and about 8 blocks from the quilt store). OH! The bed was dreamy. The owners called to make sure I arrived, that everything was okay, and if I had any questions. I'm already trying to book my next reservation.

This bungalow was our "home away from home" for almost a year. We were building in the area and found this lovely place to stay and be our base while our own vacation property was being completed. We always found it to be cozy and inviting on our many stays there. Being able to bring our pet was a great assest and we would recommend this home to anyone wanting a nice, centrally located place in the Flathead Valley.

We came to Kalispell for surgery for our daughter. We didn't want to stay in a hotel with her not feeling well. This was the perfect house for us. We bought groceries and didn't go out much. The house is so cozy and comfortable. It has everything we needed. Thanks so much for the wonderful hospitality.
