Why the Owner Chose Bigfork
You will be renting a brand new home that was built this last year. We chose this location because it is nestled along the shores of Flathead Lake in Bigfork, Montana. Flathead Lake is the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, covers over 191 square miles and is one of the cleanest in the world.
The Unique Benefits at this New House
This home features amazing views and details throughout, including many log accents. Sunset Place is a secluded community that offers the beauty of garden water features, outside fireplace, four outdoor patios and a dock for your boat. Enjoy quiet evenings watching the sunset, play golf,enjoy the many water activities or take a walk into the unique Village of Bigfork to enjoy some fine dining, art galleries, shopping or watch a broadway-style play. The Bigfork Summer Playhouse will be celebrating its 50th Season of live professional theatre this summer (2009). Known by many as the "theatre by the bay", the playhouse brings talent from across the country to bring the finest live professional theatre in the Northwest and is a past recipient of the Montana Governor's Award for the Arts.
Owner's Map of Bigfork
I have been coming to Montana with family and friends for the last several years and have my own home two miles south on the lake. With all of the activities in the summer and winter, it is a perfect place to vacation during any season! The glacier-topped mountains above the 191 square mile lake are the spectacular backdrop for the many water and wilderness activities...It doesn't get any better! We hope you will enjoy our "last best place" and Montana's beauty any time of the year. Arthur and family
