We appreciate your 10 out of 10 rating of The Boulder and are pleased you had a fantastic stay. Thank you for choosing Natural Retreats; we hope to welcome you back to Bigfork soon!
Everything was exactly as advertised and pictured. The bay was a perfect place for the kids to swim and play on water toys. The home was gorgeous with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. The property managers were great to work with. We had an incredible time.
Everything about this unit exceeded our expectations. It was clean, beautifully decorated, and in the perfect location close to the town of Bigfork. Check and check out were very smooth and easy, and whitefish escapes was wonderful to work with.
