Downtown Bigfork/Flathead lake

Just great overall location and ease. Easy to grab a coffee, a quick bite, jump on road to glacier national, or grab a boat on Flathead. Place was clean and advertised. The a/c helped for July with highs around 90. Cooled off nicely for mornings. Would recommend

Bigfork

We loved the location of property. Bigfork was an amazing vacation. This condo was perfectly situated walking distance to small town with quaint shops bars and restaurants even a playhouse and live music in summer and the water. Owner was very responsive and let us check in early. On the downside it sat above a loud restaurant, the kitchen staff used the allley near the deck of condo to smoke/breaks. Would recommend to singles.

Big fork hidden gem

Overall ad was very accurate to the property. Very clean spacious suite. Great for a small family with one child. Right downtown with a swimming dock across the street. The only comment that I would say, one the ad shows pet friendly however upon arrival we were told that no were allowed. I was able to work it out with the Property management team. I would also note the restaurant down below for some reason was blaring their music loud up pass 9 PM which was difficult for us when trying to put our little one to bed.

The Glieden Lodge was perfect (as was Shannon). It is the perfect location to enjoy the town of Bigfork and as a jumping off point for our travels to other parts of that area. The suite/condo was immaculate and wonderfully decorated. Shannon thought of everything, including some throwaway cups that we could carry our coffee in for travel. The bed was sooooooo comfy, so we crashed the minute our heads hit the pillows. We were so fortunate that we were there during the Arts Festival, so we could just walk a few yards to it and then keep making trips back and forth with our finds and never had to lug things around. We were so close to the theater, so we were able to drop off our things and hustle up the 100 yards or so just in time to see Jersey Boys. We sure hope we will be able to stay at this gem when we come back next year!!! Thank you, Shannon!
