We loved staying here with our family. Our boys are all in their 20’s. We were in town for a wedding and it was the perfect location. It is literally right next to the bike path that leads to the river and the lake. In the opposite direction, downtown is one block away. The house is very cozy. We enjoyed the super comfortable couch after long hikes in Glacier. Lisa is very responsive and accommodating. The backyard was really nice too. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen had what we needed for cooking too. We absolutely would stay here again, this is a gem and we loved the decor. She even had some extra bear spray. Washer and dryer were appreciated after a few very wet hikes in Glacier.

Family vacation

The house was as shown on the website. The decor was eclectic and fun. The bedrooms had space, but the beds were against the walls, making it a bit more challenging for two people. Yet, the rooms had space for clothes and luggage. The location was perfect for our visit to the Huckleberry Art festival and the train station. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect House, Great Location!

We absolutely loved our stay at this sweet house. It was clean, well equipped, and our favorite part was the location! Great little walking trail to the beach, easy 5 min walk to town and great restaurants nearby. Nice little view too. The seating area was comfortable and we loved the artwork and quirkiness - just a great vibe in the space. Thank you to the hosts who were easy to communicate with. If we ever are lucky enough to come back to Whitefish, we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great location and cottage

Beautifully furnished and very clean. Will definitely recommend to anyone that needs space to sleep 5-6 people comfortably. TV reception not best, but so many other activities it didnt matter. Town is "eclectic" with lots of shops to visit. Deer freely roam around little town that adds to quaintness!
