The home was spacious and clean, which was perfect for five adults. We felt the location was close enough to the places we planned to visit. The home was well stocked. We also enjoyed the amenities such as pool table, ping pong, and darts. There is also a nice family area downstairs to gather and watch a movie. The view of the mountains was wonderful out on the deck. We enjoyed watching the calves frolic across the way too!

Wonderful Family Montana Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in Bigfork. It was conveniently located near all the excursions we had planned. The kids really enjoyed the swings, badminton and ping pong games as well as the cows in the back pasture. We enjoyed sitting on the decks watching the thunder storms roll in during the evening hours. The house had plenty of room for us to gather each evening for meals and homemade ice cream. The huckleberry jam the owners left for us was a nice touch and perfect for the morning French toast.

Fabulous stay

This property is beautiful and tastefully decorated. We found the front porch our favorite place to hangout and the views are magnificent! The neighboring cows gave us great entertainment and we had some fierce badminton games. Kitchen fully stocked with everything we needed. The smart tv allowed us to keep up with the Olympics. Christa responded quickly to questions. As my mom is getting older, it was nice for us to all be together in one location. We would certainly stay there again. Thank you Christa and Marc for sharing your home!

Glacier perfect

Our stay included our two adult (30ish) children and their spouses. The house is perfectly laid out and set up for three to four couples, with plenty of separate common spaces for separation of activities. If I had our house to design again, this would be it. The mountain view is phenomenal, especially the sunrise. Convenient to the park and other things to see and visit in thins part of Montana. The most comfortable vacation stay we have ever enjoyed. I can’t say enough, and we are already considering a return visit with friends, in the future. Christa was great to work with prior to and during our stay, providing amenities that few other stays have v

Fantastic!

Christa's house was truly spectacular. We had a great time and it made for a perfect home base, right near Bigfork and Flathead Lake and only about 45 minutes to Glacier Park. The home was so well stocked with everything we needed, including lots of fun activities - ping pong, darts, badminton, and even disc golf! You can tell this is truly a home and not just a rental property. The view is amazing and we had a magical time grilling and sitting on the deck. It felt like a movie set with cows grazing in front of the beautiful mountain backdrop. Christa also provided all of the information and recommendations we could need to enjoy our stay. I could not recommend this place more highly! Would stay again in a second.

This property was a dream! While this was not our first time visiting the area, it was certainly one of the most memorable! This property was absolutely breathtaking! The house was exactly what we wanted; lots of space, lots of activities inside and out and absolutely immaculate! You can tell this home is well taken care of. The host was super communicative and very quick to reply to any question that I had. The pictures posted do not do this property justice! My family is already asking if we can rebook again for later in the year or next summer! We will be back!
