About this property

Modern woodsy Northwest cabin with private beach access for swimming and loading boats. Nestled in the pine trees and surrounded by the majestic Rocky Mountains it boasts a short walk to a private sandy beach for swimming, loading your boat, fishing and water sports.
The comfortable great looking, fun cabin itself offers quiet privacy, a completely fenced in rear area for your dog or children, a great fire pit out front for roasting marshmallows or s'mores or simply gazing at the fire on Montana's chill summer nights and gazing at the stars or occasional full moon. You can also gaze at all from the comfort of the large front porch.
In side the house you will enjoy the superfast WiFi and the 55" TV in the living area complete with Roku.
For added convenience, there is also a 49" television in the Master Bredroom.
The kitchen has all the modern amenities, electric flat top stove, refrigerator, microwave, two types of coffee makers, brewed and Keurig, practically all the pots and pans and cooking utensils you could need.
I think the most wonderful thing about the house is that it is set in the midst of so much beauty and it's tranquility brings peace to the soul.
It is also a wonderful place for your dog to run free if you have one because the oversized rear is completely fenced in yet filled with plant life and things dogs love to smell and explore.
The cabin is the gateway to so many things: Echo Lake of course; it is also at the foot of the exquisite hiking area Jewel Basin; it is also at the gateway to Glacier National Park, the treasure of the continent; it is also in Bigfork, where one can find art galleries, sculptures, world renowned food, and a noted Bigfork Summer Playhouse. COME, HAVE A BLAST, EXPLORE. FIND YOUR PEACE.

Nice location, very cool rustic Montana cabin

Loved the location and the deck. Well equipped and near beautiful Echo Lake and Bigfork. It is rustic and small but we anticipated that. Huge back and front yard for our dog. We didn't use the firepit because of fire risk in the area but it''s a fun firepit with some wood to get you started. Enjoyed sitting on the deck with the bug zapper although there were few mosquitos at all. The community beach is very nice but be aware that it is not dog friendly so we weren't able to use it much (our velcro dog). There are a lot of fun touches in the cabin but some might consider it a bit crowded. We didn't mind the fun personalized items. We were not aware when we initially booked that there was a non-refundable dog fee paid directly to the owner, something that should have been noted in the description of the property. The owner was very friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. The location is super... right near Jewel Basin, Flathead, Glacier, etc. Great Montana experience.

Quiet and pet friendly

We had 4 adults and 1 medium sized dog for a week. Linens were abundant. Owner was very communicative and helpful. There was a large fenced in back yard that our dog loved. Very quiet and private location. Large U-shaped driveway. We visited Glacier National Park each day and were about 45-60 minutes from the west entrance. Overall positive stay. Just note: one bed is a less comfortable, fold-out futon; there was more clutter in the kitchen than photos show; one kitchen drawer was broken. As previously noted, the shower is installed to either spray you in the face or just be used hand-held. Distance to the private beach/picnic area shown in pictures is about a half mile.

Dirty

I had to clean fridge myself before I would put anything in it, had to clean any dishes I would use as they were very dusty, shower was terrible because the pipe was upside down that held the shower head so it sprayed straight up. Couch blankets was covered in dog hair, had to fix TV in bedroom myself. Will not rent again. The extra cash money for covid was not fair after seeing how dirty it was.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Silver

Diane has a long history of being a magazine editor in New York, and an entertainment writer and film and television producer in Hollywood. Twenty years ago or so she decided to edge out of that rat race and bought this property as a summer home, and opened up a store in Bigfork just so she wouldn't grow too bored in those summer months . As those first few years were away and Diane drove back and forth between LA and Montsna she found the beauty of Montsna captivated her more and more each time she returned. Gradually the pull was immense. She could no longer ignore it. Diane , in s brief career, had accomplished her own mission, much of what she personally wanted to in Hollywood. She did not know that a personal health crisis was on the proverbial horizon, but she did feel a bit tired and the besutybof Montana was beckoning. Do she decided to make the peaceful cabin her on Alpine Drive het permanent on home or at least her permanent temporary home.

Why they chose this property

The cabin on Alpine Drive was perfect for Diane. It's setting could not have been more peaceful. Surrounded by 80 foot ponevyreescthst blanketed her privacy and solitude
The giant Rockies right outside. The added bonus of a private beach. with formidable sunsets reflected on Echo Lake -- or as she liked to say echoed on the lake.
The location could not be more different from her high paced life of New York or LA, instead of passing marquees or overflowing outdoor cafes or impassable traffic jambs, she would pass llamas grazing in the fields, haystacks placed far apart, cows of course, or just acres of burnt orange alfalfa. What the heck? There wasn't a valet in sight. Anywhere. No stress. There was no best table in the room
You really could where kind of sweat clothes to the super market. You could be seated next to anybody at a fundraiser and you wouldn't know it.
But it might not be likely you'd fall in love with a woodsman, but who cares.
If anyone cared what year your car was you'd never know it and you certainly didn't care what car they drove because mostly it was pickup trucks or indeterminate SUVs.
Certainly there were very rich people in the forest, but they didn't seem to care if you weren't. They seemed to care if you were interesting or interesting to them
