Why the Owner Chose Bigfork
We have owned property in the Flathead Valley since 1988 and fell in love with this location on the Swan River. Close to town, and easy access to fishing and wilderness trails.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Beautiful outdoor area, with boat dock. Canoeing / kayaking - perfect launch point from gravel water access. Two kayaks with life vests available for our guests use during their stay. Wildlife can be seen in summer, more so in spring / fall time frame. Public boat ramps are not far if you want to launch a motor boat on the River or on Flathead Lake. Close to hiking, fishing and the charming village of Bigfork.
Lovely 2 mile trail just over the swan river bridge and heading into Bigfork
Home to the Bigfork Summer Playhouse, Sliter Park Sunday Concert Series, lots of art galleries, dining and shopping.

Avid Flyfisherman and love of Glacier National Park brought us to this area in the 1980's. Would love to spend more time there if we were only ready to retire!

Private Park on the Swan River

Review Submitted: 11/06/11
Our family enjoyed staying at this house. The property really is like a park, with mature trees and an expansive lawn right on the bank of the Swan River. Though there are other houses in the neighborhood, we rarely saw anyone else, so it felt very private. The bed in the master bedroom is comfortable, and the downstairs bedroom provides a lot of privacy, which our teenaged daughter appreciated. The kitchen is well equipped and easy to work in. Plus the supermarket in nearby Bigfork is surprisingly well stocked with fresh produce and other good things, so you won't have to rough it. Pete and Stacy are friendly and helpful. We'd definitely like to come back.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Our first day at your home on the Swan River was a blast. The weather was perfect, allowing us a full day of bocce ball, kayaking and just relaxing in the shade. The house is gorgeous and it is in the absolutely perfect location. We're all having a great time so far and my cocker spaniel is having a blast jumping off the dock into the water. We're all looking forward to the rest of the week. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful place with our family!

Stacy and Pete, We are sitting out on your deck. The weather has been fabulous and the water is refreshing. We have been kayacking often then just floating on the river. Everything has been perfect I will send photos online when we get home. Thanks for sharing!

We had a very good time at your home. It was so pleasant not to have to worry about going out to find some place to eat. To cook and then sit on the balcony eating and watching the deer come into the yard to eat the grass was so nice. We enjoyed taking the kayaks up and down the river, fishing, catching little minnows and just catching some zzz's in the yard.

We had a wonderful time at your home on the river! The yard is spectacular and was the court for nearly round-the-clock bocce ball and badminton. The house worked out so well and I loved the modern bathrooms. We found the kitchen well-stocked and just had a great time. We are already talking about next year and perhaps a longer visit!
