Location: Whitefish, Montana, USA (12 Miles to Airport, 1/4 mile to Beach)

Accommodations:  House, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 1 Bath (Sleeps 3-5)

With weather changing, snow will be here soon! A shuttle or a ten minute drive will take you to the top of Big Mountain for some of the best skiing in the northwest. Whitefish Mountain Resort has expanded runs and lifts as well as apres ski opportunities to make your holiday one you'll never forget.

This historic home has been restored recently and is located conveniently between downtown Whitefish and the base of Big Mountain. The peaceful serenity of a country setting is less than a mile to shops, restaurants and night life. The 800 SF upper level – with private entrance – is all yours.

The view of the lake from your upstairs quarters is beautiful and you will probably see deer in the backyard in the morning and evenings. This land was purchased in 1919 when Whitefish was known as "Stump Town" and has the original log cabin with bunkbeds that can be used for a true Montana experience (summer rental) complete with Great Grandma's wood cookstove...(Decorative only!)

There is a path on the side of this acre and a half property that will take you to City Beach in 5 minutes. New pedestrian and bike paths will take you to town for shopping and dining, or for a leisurely trip to the lake and along the river. Enjoy the evening on the deck watching the geese flying over the lake or the deer grazing in the backyard. You'll feel at peace and "away from it all" the moment you reach the top of the stairs to your private hideaway!

Winter guests may enjoy the spacious cedar sauna directly from the bathroom and shower. Soft lighting and a "faux" woodstove create the perfect environment for a relaxing evening after an envigorating day on the slopes or cross country skiing and enjoying the beauty of the Flathead!

We are 12 miles from Glacier Park International Airport (FCA) and 35 miles from Glacier National Park.

  • Beautiful Experence!!! We all felt Very Blessed with Donna's hospitalty and The Homestead Hideaway's Montana charm. From every window it was as if your in the tree tops. In the morning, walking down the hall to the living area your able to look out on Whitefish Lake. With 5 adults, we had plenty of room. Grandma enjoyed the view while reading a book. Our daughter & her husband said the futon was better than their bed at home. We were all very compfortable here and Donna was always helpful with places to eat or to visit. The location is great for visiting the Glacier Park, Big Mountian & the Flathead Valley.

  • We stayed at the Whitefish Homestead Hideaway in August 2009. It was absolutely wonderful! The location is perfect for visiting the town of Whitefish and acts as a great base for nearby wilderness adventures. We found the homestead to be quiet, clean and very comfortable. Our teenage son stayed in the one room cabin also on the property. He really liked having is "own place". The view of the lake from the deck was a perfect spot for morning coffee and evening relaxation. The bathroom and shower were very spacious too. I have stayed in many other rentals that cost 3 times as much and weren't as nice. Highly recommended!

  • Homestead has an excellent location with a breath-taking view and an interesting history. Donna is the consummate hostess and went above and beyond what is required to ensure we had the vacation we had hoped for. In just one day, we forgot all about work and felt incredibly relaxed and grateful that such a place exists. The walk into town and the City Beach is easy and convenient. Invite Donna up to the deck to share in a cocktail - you won't regret it!

  • We had such a great time here in Whitefish. It is a beautiful town, wonderful area and perfect accomodations. We LOVE the Whitefish Homestead. It was the best location We walked to City Beach on the gorgeous lake everyday. We rode our bikes downtown, to parks and the farmer's market. We loved being able to relax every night and cook our own dinners while watching the lake off the deck. Thank you, Donna for being such a perfect host. We loved every one of your suggestions on where to go, hike, eat or play. You were so kind and friendly to us and of course our little Lily (age 2) just loves you. Everyday Lily asked if she could go talk to "Miss Donna" and the kitties. We could not have asked for a better place to be with our little girl. The yard was wonderful to have and to be able to cook our own meals was so perfect. She loved being able to go to the beach everyday and Donna, you were so sweet to set up the sprinkler for her and to bring her snacks. This was really our best family vacation yet. We hope to be back. Thank you!

  • My wife & I spent a week at the Whitefish Homestead Hideaway and enjoyed our time there very much. As other guests have commented, the view of the lake is wonderful and the location is nearly perfect. Donna is a great host and will be as interactive with you as you want her to be. A couple of caveats: 1) If you're over 6' tall you may have issues with bumping your head in the bathroom, living room and kitchen. I'm 6'4"... 2) This was not an issue for us but if you're concerned about security, you will want to make sure you get a key for the sliding patio door. We never got a key and didn't lock the place up once while we were there. 3) If you're not familiar with Whitefish... there are trains cutting through town at all times of the day and night which you will be able to hear from the bedroom of the rental house. If you're a light sleeper, consider this fair warning. Overall this is a great VRBO and we will likely stay with Donna again while we are visiting the Flathead Valley.

  • I treasure each of several visits in Sept and Oct when the area is in it's fall glory. The Whitefish Homestead Hideaway is on top of a hill, just the sky above and the lake below. It's so peaceful and comfortable, I had to make myself leave for a walk into town or a hike in Glacier. Thank you Donna for being such a gracious host.

  • My husband and I spent a week at this wonderful location while looking for a new home in the Flathead Valley. The apartment's layout is very convenient and the furnishings are attractive and comfortable. The property is hidden away on a knoll overlooking Whitefish Lake -- you feel like you are in the country, but you are within minutes of all the Whitefish amenities. I loved reading on the deck and checking out the views. And the owner treated us like valued friends. I highly recommend staying at this unique hideaway.

  • I have stayed here twice .... three weeks altogether... and definitely will return. The house is very comfortable and the owner is warm and friendly and interesting, and makes you feel very welcome. I love the trees, mountains and lake .... the view from the windows and deck are absolutely gorgeous, And you don't want to miss the historic town of Whitefish .... very charming ... and just a short drive or nice walk away. Glacier National Park is less than an hour's drive away .... so beautiful there. I will be back!

  • I found the apartment delightful with a gorgeous view of Whitefish Lake. The view can be enjoyed from the well-equipped kitchen, den and deck. I was thrilled to see wildlife stroll through the yard. The main bedroom is spacious and airy with the bathroom conviently across the hall. The nearby beach/park makes a perfect place for a picnic, lake dip, or beautiful walk. I was most comfortable and enjoyed the apartment and area tremendously.

  • I've stayed at the Whitefish Homestead Hideaway a couple of times with friends and really loved it. Recently a brought my new husband, who had never been to Montana. We had a great time swimming in Whitefish Lake--a short walk down the hill. Also, we drove all the way around Glacier National Park and saw a Black Bear--way up the hill, of course.
