Our family of 8 had plenty of room in this spacious and beautiful lodge. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and well supplied kitchen. Not far from Glacier National Park, downtown Whitefish, skiing and Glacier International Airport. Would definitely recommend. Hope to be back someday.

Our stay here was OUTSTANDING! This home is a stunner! It was the cleanest VRBO that I have ever stayed in and had plenty of towels and bathroom accommodations for all of us. They had a full working kitchen with all the amenities and appliances you could think of. The surrounding property was just beautiful and our host LuAnn, was very accommodating with arrival and departure requests. A this place is wonderful! And it's close to downtown Whitefish, GNP and airport. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Lu Ann for a wonderful stay on your property. Our group of 8 had a great time!!

My family of 11 stayed the first week of October. Check in was incredibly easy. The house is gorgeous and the perfect location. Were had 4 children 5 and under, and appreciated that the house was baby proofed already. There were high chairs, and portable cribs. We had a tiny issue with the toilet, and within an hour of me telling LuAnn about it, the handyman was there fixing it. Check out was easy. My family so enjoyed our time!

This fabulous log lodge was the perfect place for us to launch our Montana exploration! The big yard provided play space for the kids - thanks for providing the balls and bat! We enjoyed family dinners at the long dining table and the porches were so pleasant to either find solace or gather with others. We all highly recommend this lovely spot! (In fact, I have already recommended it to my best friend for her family!)

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at Walking Bear Lodge. We were 8 adults and one baby, and we had plenty of room and then some for our family. We enjoyed the firepit, hot tub and backyard games. Loved going to Whitefish to shop and eat and we made 3 trips to GNP. LuAnn, the host, was quick to respond. We had 2 minor appliance issues and within 2 hours of notifying LuAnn, they were fixed!!This house was absolutely the best stocked house of any VRBO we have ever stayed at. You won't need to brind a thing except your clothes and food. We will treasure our memories at WBL for manymany years to come!

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! When I began Walking Bear, my dream was to create a place where families could be together, make lasting memories, and feel as though their vacation began the moment they walked through the door. Knowing that your family experienced that means more to me than I can say. I’m so glad you enjoyed the lodge, firepit, hot tub, games, and your adventures in Whitefish and Glacier National Park. It was truly a pleasure hosting your family, and we would love to welcome you back!

This property was perfectly set up for our family. We know from past experiences that 5 bathrooms is wonderful! The hot tub was used every night. Our grands range from 23 to 5 months - everyone enjoyed your cabin. The kitchen was perfectly stocked- the griddle was super handy for breakfasts. Luann was great to work with and always answered any questions. The location turned out to be perfect for the activities we had planned. We would definitely recommend this for other families.

Great house, well supplied. Even had bear spray. They got the high chairs we needed and the pack and plays, and supplied fishing poles when requested. It’s a little further to Glacier NP than I was thinking but very convenient to airport.

Our group of eight, including an almost one year old and an almost two year old loved this beautiful lodge, property and amenities. The host supplied all the baby items we needed including baby gates. The home would house many, many more guests and had many furnished balconies. We enjoyed spreading out and loved gathering in the communal areas too. We teased the host that she should run for VBRO Premier Host of the year. She knocked herself out for us! The wildfire smoke had largely left the area during our visit but beforehand I was worried about particulate matter indoors. She purchased an indoor air purifier and put in MERV 13 air filters in the house. We had a wonderful vacation . Highly recommend.

The home was exactly as described on the listing and provided a wonderful place to call home during our trip to Montana and Glacier National Park. The location was great because it was only 10 minutes to the town of whitefish and 25 minutes to the west entrance of glacier national Park. The kitchen is fully stocked, the hot tub was great, and a nice yard for my kids to play in was ideal.I also felt the price was fair so all in all it was a great stay. We were blessed to be able to stay at this nice home for a week. Thank you!
