About Stephen Nicodemus
Our family has owned the Swan Riverhouse since 1979. We have enjoyed all the seasons in this beautiful place. It is truly magical. Montana has inspired me to become an artist after first visiting in 1979. The house has my paintings throughout. As a job, I currently work in Animation for all the major studios. Our family and friends have all held this place very dear to their hearts as I have. Hope you enjoy it also and it inspires you too!
Stephen Nicodemus purchased this House in 1979
Why Stephen Nicodemus chose Bigfork
The Swan Riverhouse is a private spot on the river. There are no visible neighbors on either side yet it is close enough to town for everything you need. A flat paved road to the property makes it easy to access in all seasons. The property has a park-like setting where you and your guests can feel free to be yourselves and enjoy a peaceful escape from the big city. It has a serene feel that makes you feel at peace being there. There is a gentle slope to the river and the river is shallow enough for kids to wade in while they try fishing or floating. Deer come to the property looking for snacks. If you have carrots or apples, they will eat out of your hand.
What makes this House unique
The Swan River is great for fly fishing out our back door with a nice fishing hole about 3/4 of a wade out. You have to be an excellent fly fisherman to catch the big ones. A great river to float down with your friends and family. Just remember to lift your butt when going over the rocks! If you want to go to the lake to swim or picnic, you can visit Swan Lake park down the road where you can load your boat and hang out on the pebble beach. At night go into town for the Bigfork Summer Playhouse or a nice dinner. Take a drive to Glacier National Park for the day or do a day hike at nearby Jewel Basin. In winter ski Whitefish Mountain Resort or Blacktail Mountain Ski Resort. There is so much to do and enjoy here. Just ask me, I'll be glad to direct your adventures.
