Quiet Retreat on Hanson Doyle Lake 15 Minutes from Whitefish

We rented this house for a week-long visit to Glacier National Park with our three grown children (20s-30s). It provided the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day hiking in the mountains. The setting is quiet and private, with only a few other houses on this private lake. The house had everything needed, and more, and the owners take care to provide plenty of helpful info as well. A bonus was the AC unit in the MBR, helping to cool down the room from the hot daytime temps. The lake and hot-tub were a great way to ease the hiking aches late in day, or to wake up with a pre-breakfast swim as the sun rose! The location is convenient to Whitefish and not too far from Glacier -- we went every day but one. We would highly recommend this property and hope we can return sometime in the future!

Our third year at the Fannings' did not disappoint! This home perfectly meets the needs of a family ranging from ages 4 to 70. Not too far from Whitefish or Kalispell with plenty of recreation close by. This year's trip included a trip to Libby to walk amongst the giant cedars, 4th of July in Polebridge and paddle boarding Bowman Lake, an overnight backpacking trip to Ole Creek in the park, and general nonsense in "our" lake right outside the back door. We can not say enough great things about this home, it's owners, or its location. What a treat!

My husband and I travel to Montana every year on vacation. For most of these trips, we've used VRBO to rent an entire home that can sometimes cost less than one room / bath at a national park.

This home was an exceptional value for the money. It's quite spacious, with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and all the amenities - including a wonderful large hot tub which came in very handy for easing sore muscles after a long hike.

The views were beautiful and the wildlife seemed to visit almost daily; tom and hen turkeys, and a doe with fawn. Seeing the fawn prance around the tom turkeys (obviously wanting to play) and they wanting nothing to do with it was hilarious.

And, I even caught an 18 inch northern pike out of the lake from the dock just using worms as bait.

The best review is one that says, I can't wait to stay there again. And, I can assure you, we will!!!

We found this home to be ideal for our family. We enjoyed canoeing on Hansen Doyle Lake and enjoyed the wildlife and the beautiful surroundings. The area was peaceful and relaxing. We made it to the Whitefish Huckleberry Festival and enjoyed a few trips to Glacier National Park. We enjoyed family meal times and conversations on the decks of the home. After a day of hiking relaxing in the hot tub really soothes those muscles. I highly recommend this property.

We just returned from a wonderful week and are so very relaxed. The home was very clean and comfortable. The setting was out of the way and beautiful. We enjoyed many things about our visit most especially the fishing which was great, and the wildlife viewing right from the balcony each day. Everything we needed was there, from a kitchen supplied with all the condiments and utensils for cooking up great meals to soap and shampoo in the two full baths. We highly recommend this get away!
