About this property

New Listing! Private Home with Hot Tub! Four Bedroom House, Sleeps 8

It’s difficult to find a property that offers the unique blend of proximity to all the town of Whitefish has to offer yet still provides a secluded, private, and wooded Montana feel. If privacy and convenience are on this vacation’s priority list, The Bear Den is the spot for you!

This immaculate 2,300 sf four bedroom two-and-a-half bath home provides guests public access to Whitefish Lake, Whitefish Mountain Resort, and the town of Whitefish all within a five-minute drive. It also sits adjacent to a network of biking, hiking, and walking trails, offers an amazing opportunity for wildlife viewing off its two private patios, and features a private hot tub.

The Space:

Entry through the two-car garage greets the guest with a spacious mudroom with plenty of room to unload all your gear; the mudroom also includes a washer and dryer. Exit the entry area and guests will enjoy an expansive great room which features a large leather sectional wrapped around a wood burning fireplace. Just past the fireplace sits the dining area with seats for six and a state-of-the-art fully stocked kitchen which utilizes a high-end induction stove top. Exit the sliding door between the dining area and kitchen to find your 2nd story patio nestled in the treetops. This area offers a perfect setting for your favorite libation while you fire up the grill! The upper level also features a powder bath and a spacious master king bedroom with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet.

The lower level of the home is a walk out basement that affords a ton of natural light between the sliding patio doors and a plethora of windows. As guests arrive on this level, they are greeted with an additional living area with a wraparound sectional and a high-end back-lit entertainment center. Continue past this living area to reveal an open guest bedroom with two twin beds and desk space, perfect for the kiddos! The opposite side of this floor features a full bathroom with a shower/tub enclosure nestled between two king bedrooms. One of these bedrooms also includes a desk for those looking to get some work done on the go. The sliding patio door at the base of the steps grants access to a private hot tub and a propane fireplace and patio sectional seating.

The Bear Den provides guests with elegant furnishings, top-of-the line finishes, high quality mattresses, five separate TV’s, and a beautiful natural setting to ensure that this vacation is one that won’t be forgotten. Book today with confidence and let the memories begin!

Awesome Property!
Beautiful property and wonderful hosts! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was gorgeous and immaculate. The kitchen was nicely stocked, including lots of herbs/spices for cooking, which in my experience, is unusual for a VRBO. The hosts were incredibly attentive and proactive with communication before arrival, during stay, and after departure. I can't say enough wonderful things about this property and it's hosts! We will be back!
