The Clayton House is the most charming home available in downtown Whitefish and has been featured on the front page of the Whitefish Pilot and in Flathead Living. It was built around 1903 to be Whitefish's "Southside" First Presbyterian Church. In later years it was converted into a beautiful house and remains that way today. It has been beautifully restored offering refinished, original wood floors, spacious bedrooms with queen beds in each room with the large master suite being on the main floor. There is granite and tile in the bathrooms, a fantastic fully outfitted kitchen with granite countertops and high end appliances, a nice dining room with antique hand made table, and a mud room entering from the back of the house with storage for your gear. There is also a washer and dryer so you can come in after a hard day of playing and get your things cleaned right up.
The location is perfect being just one block to Whitefish hotspots such as Mambo's, Loulas, Pescado Blanco, Swift Creek Cafe, 2nd Steet Pizza, The White room Ski Shop, Glacier Cyclery, and just 2 blocks to Central Ave., the Farmer's Market, Gallery Nights, the SNOW bus pick up and two of Whitefish's best parks on the Whitefish River. It is also located just down the street from Whitefish Lake Golf Club, which also offers cross country skiing in the winter, and The Wave Fitness Center. Hop on your bike and it's just a short ride on the bike path along Whitefish River to City Beach at Whitefish Lake. You'll love being able to get to and from the shops, restaurants, and all that Whitefish has to offer with such ease.
We've tried hard to provide everything you could need to make your stay as comfortable as possible and we think you will thoroughly enjoy your time spent in this charming home. Come spend some quality time in a quality home right in the heart of Whitefish.

The Unique Benefits at this House
I THINK YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY THE LOCATION OF THIS HOUSE AND IT GIVES YOU A FEELING OF BEING PART OF THE TOWN. SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO DO HERE THAT WILL TAKE YOU IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, IT'S NICE TO BE STAYING SOMEWHERE THAT'S CONVENIENT TO EVERYTHING. BEING ABLE TO WALK OUT OF YOUR DOOR AND STROLL THROUGH TOWN IS NOT ONLY CONVENIENT BUT QUITE ENJOYABLE.
YOU COULD CHOOSE TO STAY ON BIG MOUNTAIN, ON THE LAKE, OR A MAYBE A AT CABIN IN THE WOODS, BUT YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU HAVE TO DRIVE TO DO ANYTHING INCLUDING SIMPLE THINGS LIKE GROCERY SHOPPING, DINING OUT, ENJOYING THE TOWN'S NIGHTLIFE, ETC. WHEN YOU STAY AT THE CLAYTON HOUSE, YOU WILL NOT ONLY BE ENJOYING A CHARMING HOME THAT HAS A WONDERFUL HISTORY, BUT YOU WILL FIND IT EASY TO RELAX AND ENJOY WHITEFISH AS WELL.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Clayton House from January 24 to January 29. The house was delightful and very comfortable. We had two families in our group and each bedroom was used. One family used the second floor bedrooms and the other family used the main floor bedroom. The beds and bathrooms were great, the kitchen was the best equiped kitchen I have ever used in a rental, and the entire home was spotless when we arrived. With all of that, the very best part was working the owners. The owners were so pleasant and very promptly responded to our questions when we couldn't figure out switches or lights. We loved the older home feel that the owner took care to save when the home was remodeled. From the outside the home initially looked small for 8 people, but once inside it was much larger then it appeared from the outside front. We had plenty of room and play space for people to be together or to be apart for quiet time. The location allowed us easy walks to town for groceries, massages after days of skiing, and an evening drink or dinner. It is also a short easy drive to the ski slopes at Whitefish and a little longer drive to Glacier National Park. We definitely would stay at Clayton House in the future and will recommend it to others.

We were fortunate to stay at the Clayton House for two weeks in January, 2012. It was the perfect location and a precious home. The home was all that was described and more! I fell in love with the charm of the house and the perfect location. We walked to dinner every night to one of the many delightful restaurants in Whitefish. Our granddaughters caught the SNOW bus just blocks away for skiing every day on Big Mountain. All the descriptions and the directions for getting the key, getting checked in, and making ourselves at home were most efficient and helpful. Not one bump in the road! The home was sparkling clean and in readiness when we arrived~~truly a delightful experience. Our entire two weeks was made all the more enjoyable because of the wonderful accommodations, a delightful owner with whom to work, and the absolute best location in Whitefish!! Definitely a place we would return in a heartbeat! The Meadows from Mississippi

We drove from Arizona to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary with our grown children. Our stay (1 Sept-8 Sept) could not have been better. The house is wonderful both in furnishings, comfortable beds, cleanliness, well stocked and being close to everything. We had planned on eating out but the kitchen was so comfortable to cook in we wound up eating all our meals at the house. We all agreed we would like to come back again soon. Oh yes--an added bonuse was sitting on the porch watching the deer and squirrels coming into the yard to eat apples that had fallen from the trees!

This is a house and location we all wanted to spend the rest of our lives. Owners are very helpful and easy to deal with. Close to everything, comfortable, clean, perfect. Better than home......Well worth the money and we are planning a return visit next year.

The Clayton house is like a brand new, fresh, breezy, upscale cottage. The whole place is immaculate, inside and out. It’s such a great place for a get away, we can’t recommend it highly enough. The kitchen is superb but with such fine dining nearby we didn’t use it much (darn!) We loved the location, so convenient. The nearby shops have a great deal of variety for all tastes and budgets. We had so much fun we didn’t want to leave… We hope to come back again…soon...very soon… Thank you Chap, you made renting on VRBO very easy!

We just returned from a fabulous week at The Clayton House. It is in a great location - walking distance to really good restaurants (loved Loula's (went here 3 times for breakfast), Pescado Blanco, Ciao Mambo and the homemade ice cream shop a block away) and Glacier Park (30 minutes by car). Loved the front porch, well-equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds (and nice, soft sheets) and big bathrooms (great shower). Would stay here again in a heartbeat....actually already dreaming of coming back next year.

Perfect Whitefish vacation rental - So much better than a hotel!

This is the second summer in a row that I have stayed at the Clayton House and I hope to stay again next year. The location is unparalleled with walking access to downtown Whitefish and a short drive to Big Mountain, Whitefish Lake, and all of the golf courses in the Valley. The house has lots of charm and the kitchen/bathrooms/family room are soooooo much better than what you'll find in a hotel. Our favorite feature is the front porch, where you can read the paper with a hot cup of coffee in the morning or have a glass of wine and people watch in the afternoons and evenings (be on the lookout for a very eccentric cowboy who walks the neighborhood in the mornings and evenings).

My twin boys 10 years old, my 70 plus year old parents and I (40ish) stayed in this great house for week in the summer of 2011. It's walking distance to everything in-town so my parents could check out everything on foot and lots of room in and around the house for my kids to run. The owners were super helpful when I called to tell them about maintenance issues. There is even central A/C for hot summer days although it takes awhile for the upstairs rooms to cool off. I'd definitely rent this property again!

Our book club of 7 ladies recently spent a wonderful weekend at Clayton House. The home is beautifully and tastefully updated. We found the home to be much larger that it appeared from the outside, lots of room for us all, and very comfy beds. The location was very convenient for walking to shopping and restaurants. We ate very well! The owner was extremely accomodating and made many recommendations of local places to go. Loved the big swing on the front porch, would love to return in warmer weather and spend some time in it with a book watching the world go by........

Family of five seven day visit to Whitefish during Winter Carnival

Our family of five...four adults and a four year old child stayed in the Clayton House during the Winter Carnival week. This is a great vacation rental...everything you need is in the house and you can walk to great restaurants and shopping in downtown Whitefish. It snowed everyday we were there and the temperature was in the single digits but we were very comfortable in the house. The fireplace is a nice touch and the 2 1/2 bathrooms make it easy for everyone to get dressed and ready for the day. It was nice to find a fully equipped update kitchen. The owner was so easy to deal with and everything was ready for us when we arrived.
