About this property

Mountain retreat.

Share our little piece of paradise in the Flathead Valley!

Luxurious mountain retreat. Observe the moose that winter in this area, listen for howling wolves, watch eagles soar. Hang out on the 600 ft private deck to star gaze and observe the fabulous Milky Way. If you get lucky the amazing northern lights may put on a show!! Best spot in the house for the meteor showers!

Private entrance to the 1100 square ft, open floor plan that boasts comfy and luxurious king and queen bed. Great linens and pillows!

Well appointed kitchenette with apartment size fridge, induction burner, coffee maker, blender, electric skillet, crockpot and microwave. Gas grill for BBQing on the deck.

Large, private bath. Lots of hot water!

Stable and strong Wi-Fi and great cell phone service! TV and DVD player and movies available for those nights when you just want to chill.

Spend the day hiking in Glacier National Park. Go swimming, kayaking, boating or fishing on one of the 10 plus, pristine mountain lakes within a short distance of the property. Observe the loons, eagles and osprey. Hike the local Lupine Trail to pristine Lupine Lake. Bring your fishing pole. Fishing licenses are available at the local Cenex Station (gas station here in Marion.)

Enjoy a day on Tally Lake and hike the trails.
Head north and hike the trail and cross the Kootenai River on the hanging bridge! Hike the cedar groves.

Book a whitewater rafting trip or fly fishing trip with one of the numerous outfitters in the area. Montana boasts world class fly fishing and hunting. And does not disappoint. Anglers and hunters welcome.

Ski/snowboard Whitefish Mountain Resort or Black Tail Mountain. Snowshoe Glacier National Park or The Bob Marshall wilderness and enjoy the glistening, snow covered mountains. We are approximately 40 minutes to Glacier National Park.

Polson, on beautiful Flathead Lake is a great town. Check out the nearby National Bison Range, the Nine Pipes Museum and grab a meal at one of the great restaurants. Our fav is Cherry Pit BBQ! Very informal but great BBQ, sides and sauce!!

Enjoy wonderful restaurants, shopping, Farmers Markets, art, music festivals and the rodeo in the Kalispell/Whitefish area.

Book a boat trip around Flathead Lake or to Wild Horse Island to hike the trails and view the wild horses, long horned sheep and various wildlife.

We have 2 local spots to grab a craft beer or cocktail and a great meal.

McGregor Lodge on beautiful Mc Gregor Lake approximately 10 miles west. Great burgers, fish fry and specials!
Enjoy dining on the deck. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 365 days per year.

The Hilltop Bar and Restaurant....."downtown Marion", has great salads and fried chicken, pub food.

Wonderful Montana Home

The apartment is huge with two very comfy beds at either end. Very quiet and peaceful with a wonderful deck and grill. Very good property for pets. Sara provided great attention to detail with great bedding, towels, comfy sofa, area guide magazines, etc. Having a kitchen w/ good sized fridge was very convenient. Would stay again if in area.

Montana Stay

This property was awesome. The owners are super friendly but stay out of the way unless you want to chat. There was wildlife around and the surrounding forest was beautiful. This house was super clean and very close to Little Bitter Root Lake, MacGregor and Little McGregor Lake. There is a cute little coffee and bakery down the road and a great little bar and cafe.

Home Away From Home

This suite was wonderful. It was very clean and well stocked with every need. The suite was much larger than we expected. It had a sleep number bed and all the comforts of home. It was so nice to come back from a day of sightseeing and relax in the quiet of the woods. The owner was very friendly and helpful in giving us info about sights to see, directions and places to eat. We had a great time!

Very clean—very secluded!

We enjoyed our 3-day stay at this loft apartment near Marion, MT. It was our access point for Glacier National Park which actually was just over an hour from the rental to the West Glacier entrance. Marion is very small with only one bar/restaurant (Hitching Post) and a tiny convenience store attached to a gas station. So going to eat requires a trip to Kalispell (about 20 minutes) which is a nice town. We had a couple of issues—all of which were our fault for not checking out all amenities. There is no AC which actually turned out to be a problem because we arrived in MT in the middle of an unusual heat wave. Sleeping in the loft was difficult, even with fans and a swamp cooler. Also, we failed to realize that this rental did not have a washer/dryer or stove. We had assumed we could wash clothes when we got there only to have to hunt for a distant laundromat (there is one quite near but it wasn’t listed on google). We needed to reheat pizza which isn’t good if reheated in microwave (provided). But these issues were our fault—the rental did not list stove, washer/dryer or AC. The deck is lovely but was too hot in evening because it gets afternoon sun during this heatwave. Also there are 20 steps to get to the rental which can be daunting for senior citizens who have a lot of luggage because staying in MT for a month. The rental was VERY CLEAN and the host, Sara, very kindly responded quickly to all concerns. We also loved seeing all the cute, friendly black bunnies who congregated around our car.

This record heat wave is crazy! Not what anyone could have predicted. Our home nor the suite has A/C and we have never felt a need for it....60° this morning. Mountain living! The portable swamp cooler is great when placed by the bed you choose to sleep in...noticed it was on the opposite side of the suite. We are a rural mountain town but have a few choices for dining...McGregors Lodge, right on beautiful McGregor lake is a great place, about 5 miles west....serves 3 meals a day, 365 days a year. The Marion Trading Company, has excellent breakfast and lunch, homemade pastries and excellent coffees!! Kayak rentals as well! The Hitching Post serves lunch and dinner, great broasted chicken!! Safe travels and stay cool!
