Perfect for a Family Get Together

Review Submitted: 12/09/11
We live in Montana, and have never rented a vacation home before. In planning a family wedding in the area with extended family coming in from out of state, we found this property on the internet. When we drove up to the front door and entered this home we knew it was perfect for 9 adults and 2 small children. The house was beautifully decorated, completely furnished, kitchen and large area for our Thanksgiving meal. All of our relatives loved it as much as we did. Because we were in the area for a wedding we did not venture out to the closeby Glacier National Park, or the ski area. We have spent lots of time hiking in Glacier, Rafting the Flathead River and winter skiing and know the area well, this house is in a great location for exploring and very quiet. Thw owner was very honest in his description of the home, and made sure all of our needs were met, would highly recommend this to families visiting the area, and hope to stay there in the near future. We positively loved it, a 5* Rating. Dea & Brad

From California

What a great place to stay! We rode our Motorcycles out from California to see the beautiful sites around the Whitfish area. We wanted a place that was comfortable with a lot of room for the 9 of us after we did our day rides seeing all the sites! This place was it! With the views from the back deck, the BBQ and all the room on the deck to sit, this was the favorite place to hang out and relax! Some of them did some fishing in the Creek in back of the cabin and they cought some big Pike! The picture's don't do this place justce! Great detail to the decor inside makes it warm and welcoming! Not much more can I add that all the previous comments haven't already said, I agree with them all! It's a short Drive to Canada, Glacier park (start from the east side) Whitefish, Kalispell, Flat Head Lake, Kootni Falls (awsome) and the swinging bridge, there is so much to see and do. Fred was great to deal with before we went. He was in town while we were there and he was right there if we needed anything! We will definitely recommend this place!!

The Wedding

Review Submitted: 08/21/11
I was looking for a place large enough to accommodate our families who were meeting for the first time, and who, unbeknownst to them, were coming to our wedding. River Meadow Ranch seemed to fit that criteria and didn't appear to be overpriced like some of the places I looked at. The house is in the middle of farm land with an elk ranch, dill field, and long-horned cattle on the same road - all this rural living with no smell to boot. And better yet, no neighbors too close to feel as if they are on top of you. I thought the house was a lot nicer than the on-line pics showed as well. The ad says this house sleeps 11, but with the assistance of Fred, the owner, we were able to sleep 13. He was more then willing to work with us and was always responsive when I contacted him, whether it be via email or phone. The local couple who takes care of the house maintenance and cleaning were also very nice and responsive to all of our needs. The house was large enough to accommodate approximately 50 people at our wedding, but was small and cozy enough that our family was able to have a wonderful time. And I guess I should mention that Glacier National Park was not too far (maybe 30 - 45 min.) from the house and was pretty easy to get to. River Meadow Ranch was a wonderful house to stay at and we will definitely be back. Thanks Fred, you have a great house.

We just returned from a 2011 summer trip and are ready to go back. Fred's house was large, roomy, clean, and very well-appointed. The details of the renovation are impressive, all the way down to the use of heavy gauge rope instead of toe molding at the base of the log walls. There is plenty of yard space for families, and a 10 minute drive put us in Whitefish with all the restaurants we could need. LouLa's in Whitefish for breakfast is the best you will find. Norm's News in Kalispell for burgers.

Perfect Home Base to Glacier National Park and Area

Review Submitted: 07/20/11
We just returned home from what our family is calling an "epic" trip to Montana. Staying in this spacious, absolutely beautiful log home really made the vacation. Our boys (11 and 16) loved playing pool in the lower level as well as fishing for northern pike behind the house. The large deck with BBQ grill was a perfect way to relax after a day of sight-seeing. We found the house to be immaculate with all the amenities one could ask for. The rustic,lodge-look furniture was new and the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

We (3 adult couples) stayed for a week in July '11 & thoroughly enjoyed this cabin. It was in the relatively-level terrain of Flathead Valley, surrounded by farmland. The whole-log construction of the cabin gave it a rustic warmth and authentic feel, yet it was well appointed with modern amenities all thoroughout -- very spacious and cozy at the same time. There were plenty of linens for all rooms, a well-stocked kitchen upstairs with lots of small appliances, dishes, cutlery, etc. plus a wet bar downstairs, a full-sized washer-dryer and a nice gas grill on the deck. There were also plenty of books to read, games (both inside and out), multiple TV's with satellite, WiFi, pool table -- just about anything you could want! We loved the central location -- close to airport, Kalispell and Whitefish, and very convenient to Glacier Natl Park. Curt, who lives down the road and serves as caretaker, was very helpful with plenty of tips about the area; and Fred, the "back-East" owner, couldn't have been more gracious and helpful by phone. Curt advised of a great family restaurant on Hwy 2 near Kalispell called Cislo's -- food was home-cooked and very tasty, large portions, good variety in the menu, and best of all, inexpensive. Even more amazing was the friendly and efficient wait staff -- our waitress for breakfast one morning took six very different orders, never wrote a thing down, and didn't miss a beat when serving everything, even remembering who had decaf or not on the refills. It was fun to watch them in action! During our stay, we enjoyed fishing, hiking, Glacier NP (of course!), horseback riding, visiting wineries & galleries, the Conrad Mansion in Kalispell, the Bison Range an hour or so south of the cabin, and mostly just hanging out at the end of the day at our home-away-from-home. Thank you, Fred, for making it all available -- we'd definitely recommend your beautiful cabin to one and all. Couldn't write this without saying how amazingly friendly the people of Montana were, too. Without fail, airport staff, car rental staff, shop owners, restaurant staff -- even complete strangers -- were warm and welcoming. It was a great vacation in every respect!

A Beautiful Home Away from Home
Guest: Irv
(Owings Mills MD)
Date of Stay: 06/20/11
Review Submitted: 07/17/11
Our family and two good friends, eight in all, spent a week in late June 2011 at the cabin. We loved every minute of it. It is a beautiful, warm home, amazingly spacious with a big yard more than ample for volleyball, frisbee and other games, in a beautiful setting. It is very well equipped, reflecting the genuine care the owners have for their guests, just as if we were close friends and they wanted us to feel most welcome. We made the trip primarily to wander around Glacier National Park, but also had wonderful experiences on Flathead Lake, and in the towns of Big Fork and Poulson on the edges of Flathead Lake. This is an ideal place for a vacation away, for anyone who wishes to enjoy the beauty of Montana and the parks and areas around Whitefish and the surrounding areas. The cabin also is very convenient to the airport. If the rating system is five stars, we give this cabin six stars.

Christmas in the Flathead
Guest: Michael & Allison

Review Submitted: 01/11/11
We stayed in this lovely home over Christmas, with our teenage children and another family ... 10 of us plus a baby, with plenty of room for everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed just relaxing in such a comfortable, spacious house; but found time to shop Kalispell, ski Whitefish, and walk in the neighbourhood. We've always loved the Flathead Valley, but finding a home like this to stay in adds a whole new lovely dimension ... it is easy and quick to get to, yet feels so isolated and quiet. The owner was great to coordinate with, and the neighbours were even very friendly! Highly recommended!

We spent 4 nights here and really loved it. I sincerely wish it had been longer. The house is very nice and very cozy, especially for a 5 bedroom. It is easy to get to. It is not totally secluded, but does feel quite private and there is very little traffic on the dirt road. It is conveniently located about half way between Whitefish and Kalispell. The airport is not far away and of course Glacier Park is near. We very much enjoyed Glacier I have spoken with the owner several times and he is as nice and friendly as anyone can be. We would love to go back some day and I would not hesitate to recommend it to friends. Mike in Georgia
