New! Spacious 5BR Forest Lodge | Picture Windows, Fireplaces, Game Room & Peaceful Montana Setting

Located 2 miles south of Bigfork, this stunning craftsman home captures what Montana is all about! Ranch Road Guesthouse was built with history-rich materials and attention to detail, with artisan cabinetry, wainscoting, crown moldings, soaring 16-foot ceilings, exposed beams, and an abundance of natural light that flows through huge picture windows to frame the forested views. This home blends timeless craftsmanship with serene Montana beauty.

Nestled on a forested acre, every corner of the property offers a unique and peaceful experience for you and your guests. Groves of aspen and birch, towering pines, and mossy trails curve around the home giving the sense the house is woven into the landscape. Surrounded by trees and wildlife and backing onto endless acres of horse & elk reserve land, it is magically private and secluded. Space to breathe deeply, appreciate nature, and experience a home that was created as a labor of love.

Step inside and you will be greeted with a calming open layout. The charming kitchen & pantry and dining area feature wood accents and large windows, making a wonderful space to create memorable meals with your family and friends. Gather in the living room for conversation or play a card game next to the Norwegian Jotul wood stove. The canoe room is another great place to relax and cozy up with a book; the refurbished cedar-strip canoe suspended high in the vaulted ceiling is a favorite conversation piece and just one of the stories behind this incredible home! The lower-level game room, with pool table, wet bar and back deck is the perfect place to play after a day of exploring Bigfork and the Flathead Valley. And when it is time to retire for the night, settle into one of the spacious bedroom suites, each steeped with their own charm and personality, and wake rested & ready for the next day's adventure.

Ranch Road Guesthouse was created with love and creativity and intended to be shared as a Montana retreat; a sanctuary where friends and family can come together; a special place to unwind far away from busy everyday life and be inspired by nature and the abundance of natural beauty Montana is so well known for.

In the summer, enjoy all the watersports imaginable at Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48! Glacier National Park is also close by with the breathtaking Going-To-The-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and 70+day hikes! Make sure you take time to experience downtown Bigfork boasting shops, galleries, restaurants and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse. There are activities for everyone from hiking the Swan River Nature Trail, exploring the Jewel Basin Wilderness Area, fishing the many lakes & rivers or golfing at any of the exceptional courses, including Eagle Bend Golf Course.
