We rented this house for our son's wedding at Glacier National Park. The brides family stayed in the house across the street. Views all around the area are beautiful. Snow capped mountains and Whitefish is a quaint town with great shops and restaurants. The house has plenty of room, more than we needed.

Our stay at Brown Bear Chalet

We had a wonderful time!!! The entire family enjoyed the house and we had enough room for everyone to have their own space!! The kids enjoyed all the games and activities in the house...loved the hot tub...we appreciated the wash machines. The kitchen was well supplied with appliances for what we needed!!! A beautiful place to spend family time together!!!

Brown Bear Stay

What a great place to enjoy Montana. Very comfortable and close to all of our day trips. The staff was extremely responsive...had weather related issue and they came right out in a matter of minutes! Quiet area with wildlife every morning just outside the back deck. Loved the park and Pole Bridge area. Will book again if in the area....

Great condo!

Great place, we loved the condo and hot tub. We had a crew of 7 guys. Heads up- we were there in 2026 during a record low snowfall season. Some of the reviews referred to a ski lift that you could access through the neighborhood? We never found this lift. Nor was it needed for us. It is about a 0.25mile walk to the Home again slope on the main neighborhood road. For grown men, it was easy. For kids, non-experienced skiers, wives, whiney people, it might not be great. Snow did not cover the roads when we were there. Maybe it would've been easier if the roads were covered to ski back? There were some ski-tracks through the neighborhood houses that might've linked up to our house better. We would've had to click-out of our gear to cross the road if we used these tracks. We were all were confused on how the ski lift and ski tracks would've worked. So you might need to contact the management on how exactly to use the lift and tracks if you can't figure it out when you're there.

Spacious for large family

We had a large family group travel to MT together. This house was located near the ski resort. It was plenty large for our 4 families and the kids loved the hot tub, game room and activities nearby. They had plenty of cooking utensils that made it easy to cook in the house and avoid spending lots of money eating out.

Perfect place for our perfect wedding trip

We came here for our wedding and I have to say this home was absolutely beautiful! The view was even better! We got to see deer out on the patio and enjoy our coffee with views and perfect weather. The master bedroom was perfect for getting ready for my wedding day and the photos came out stunning! The only complaint I received from everyone was how hot it was even with the AC units going, so we opened the windows. Thankfully the weather was amazing so it kept the rooms cool. I would still recommend this place especially for a wedding party because of the layout. We also enjoyed the hot tub and everything was clean! 10/10 recommend. :)

A great family retreat

3 families came together for a weekend together! We cooked, we relaxed and we explored the area. The house layout and size was perfect for our needs and located appropriately to spend time at the mountain and in town. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and hot tub was warm. We couldn't ask for much more.
