The condo is as described, clean and beautiful. Located within short drives to GNP, Whitefish, Flathead Lake, Kalispell and many other things. Pool and hot tub are great!
Great place but no grill and dog next door on balcony barked the whole time.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, thank you for pointing out our future guests that his home does not list having a grill, that is very helpful if they do not notice that in the description. We are so sorry there was a noisy dog, we would have loved to try and contact the owner for you, however we do not have much control of the neighboring units. As far as we are concerned it is not a resident of the home, so future guests need not be wary. We appreciate you as our guest and hope you stay with us again!! Best, Summer V. Guest Service Manager.
This property was exceptional. Communication with StayMontana was top notch. They responded immediately to questions and kept in touch during our stay. This was a mother/daughter vacation and this property was perfect for the two of us. For us, even the small things matter such as having really good water pressure in the showers and comfort of the home. I grew up in this area of MT and the location was perfect to visit numerous towns and sites. Thank you StayMontana!
