Nice property…the view is beautiful..but needed a deep clean…The shower tile especially. The smell from the AC was extremely musty and the carpet had stains. I’m so sorry to say these things because we use Vrbo often but I’m hoping it will help. Overall though…a fairly decent stay.

Great Spot!

I booked this VRBO when we got rained out of Glacier Park. It was a great place to easily reach the heart of BigFork with a nice view of the river

What a pretty location-we spent most of the time on the balcony overlooking the water. Location was great and we were able to walk into town, over to the brewery and up to the little hiking trail in town. We didn’t have enough supplies like shampoo and coffee and did find an empty water bottle under the chair. There were also some stains in the carpet so the cleaner could be more thorough. When I message the host, however, she was very accommodating. It was also cozy and cute with extra touches like cozy blankets for cold mornings.

Absolutely beautiful! What a great view. Coffee on the deck in the morning and a glass of wine to watch the sunset. Having our boat docked in front made everything so convenient.

Great Stay at Marina Cay

Such a nice spot. Great location. One of the better units in the building as parking is very close and the view is incredible. Place was super clean and better than the pictures on the listing! Thank you for hosting us!

The condo was great! Clean, cool, convenient. Loved watching the view and activities in the bay. And yet it was very quiet at night even through the deck screen door. We walked to town several times to shop and go to the plays.

My wife and I stayed came to Montana for a week vacation and this property was perfect. The unit was clean and well stocked with amazing views from the balcony. The host was a pleasure to work with and was always quick to respond with any questions or issues. We had one small issue that was taken care of immediately. The location was close to downtown as well as many restaurants and activities that kept us busy all week. We would absolutely recommend this property for anyone looking to stay here.
