About this property

Ski Big Mountain, Golf Meadow Lake, Or Visit Glacier From This Family Home

This is a unique four-bedroom home on a world class golf course, minutes from Glacier Park and Whitefish's Big Mountain. The large game room includes a king-size bed log bed, 3/4 bath, couch, chair, 2 recliners and a flatscreen TV. In the summer of 2022, we added a deluxe 6-person hot tub - waterfall, colored lights, and a killer view of the golf course.

The rest of the home includes a beautiful downstairs king master suite with a flatscreen TV. The private bath includes dual sinks and a walk-in shower. The upstairs features a two-bedroom family suite. There is a large king bedroom with huge closet suitable for crib or overflow sleeping. It has its own flatscreen TV. The adjoining bedroom has four comfortable bunks with memory foam mattresses. The shared bath has a tub, shower, and dual sinks.

For extra sleeping, we have two comfortable blow-up beds.

Between the two floors is a beautiful laundry room with oversize washer and dryer and folding counter.

The huge kitchen has lots of counter and cupboard space, a breakfast island with seating for four and a computer nook. The dining room easily seats 6-10 and overlooks beautiful Meadow Lake Golf Course. The sunken living room features a new 70 inch flatscreen TV and wood-burning fireplace overlooking the golf course.

The large private outdoor deck has seating for 12.

Overall a Great Stay

The location and quality of the house was excellent and the owners and their communication were nothing less. Despite it being my first time using Vrbo and almost missing the second payment time, the owners were very accommodating and patient, helping to make sure that my booking was not cancelled. The house was a wonderful place for my group of friends to stay for the weekend and it was, overall, a wonderful experience, thank you to the owners!

Great house, great location

We stayed here for our first ever trip to Glacier NP. Worked out great. Only 20-25 minutes from the park. Grocery store less than a mile. Quick 10-15 minute drive to Whitefish. House is clean, well equipped and plenty of space. Great place to stay for a Montana family vacation.

It was perfect for our group of 10! We appreciated the items we needed such as a highchair for our littlest member & the adults enjoyed the hot tub. We were able to enjoy a meal we cooked on the grill & the deck seating was able to accomodate all of us. Dishes were plentiful & the laundry facilities included laundry products which made keeping up a breeze without any added expense to us. Our host{s} sent a list of recommendations for places to eat as well as businesses for outdoor activities which proved very helpful. We all enjoyed our stay & the view of the golf course was beautiful as well at entertaining at times! We highlly recommend this location.

decent size house

the house was decent sized. However, there are only 2 bunk beds in the bunk room, not 4 bunk beds like the listing shows. That left us quite stranded with beds since there were 4 less than we thought.

Nice But Aging Property

Great location, big bedrooms, relaxed atmosphere at this spacious house. Seven of us enjoyed the week. Great view to the golf course, A/C was nice to come home to after a hot day, and kitchen had plenty of room. When you arrive, you realize there is no garage, but that is where the 4th bedroom is, which happens to be good-sized but a bit quirky, with privacy created by cabinet "walls". We had our 18-month granddaughter with us, and the house was almost perfectly safe for her, and the room flow is great. Thank you!

The house was as advertised, with plenty of space, comfortable beds, and great location (easy driving to Glacier National Park and the town centers of Columbia Falls and Whitefish). Cathy was very accommodating and responded quickly to my messages. No complaints, would stay again.

The house was lovely.

Very nice house but the services re snow removal was sadly lacking. We had 20 inches of snow and not once was there any removal. The hot tub has a leak so it was not useable until maintenance filled it up.

This renter is absolutely right I thought I had both issues covered, but "Snowmageddon" overwhelmed my snow removal person and delayed my hot tub person as well. I will do better next time!

Beautiful Home on the Golf Course

We had an amazing stay at this home. The house is very spacious so not everyone staying felt like we were on top of each other. Great location, we were heading into Whitefish and it was only 10-15 minutes away. The home had all the amenities we needed and then some. The beds are the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on and were very large in size as well. The hot tub was a nice addition to our stay. We will definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to house a large number of people. The only issues we had were the cleaning lady was still there cleaning for another 30 minutes at check in at 4, and she came an hour early. She was very polite and came back after we had checked out but it made us feel rushed out of the home. But that is a very minor complaint to an overall wonderful stay.

Great property, with everything to accommodate your stay!

Kathy was such a pleasure speaking with. She was very accommodating to our large group and responded right away. The home had everything you would need for your stay. Wonderful set up with lots of space, bathrooms, beds, blankets and kitchen necceities. Hot tub and deck was a great feature! We will be back in the summer to enjoy golf season. Thanks again Kathy, Jami and Logan.

Family Friendly

This is an amazing property to have a weekend get together with extended family and friends. The property is spacious and has an open floor plan and amazing view at the mountains and golf course. We met up with my sister and her family and there was plenty of room for all of us to stay comfortably. We enjoyed the amenities of the fully furnished kitchen as well. The hot tub and private patio is a plus and the convenience of being directly across from the clubhouse pool is a bonus too. We look forward to staying here again in the near future.

Lots of room for everyone!

The house is in a great location on Meadow Lake golf course and super clean! The deck is very sheltered from stray balls so no worries while you sit on the amazing deck Barbecuing and talking with others in the hot tub. The kids liked the fact that the pool was right across the street. The kitchen is huge with plenty of space for many people to sit. I would recommend this home to anyone and would without a doubt rent it again!!!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Kelley

Host profile image
Doug and Cathy Kelley are native Montanans who bought their "dream home." They want to share the joy, refreshment and restoration that they get from simply looking out their window at the beauty God created. The Kelleys moved to Los Angeles in 1998 to serve the poorest of the poor by pastoring Open Arms Church. They have four children and ten grandchildren. Their prayer is for you to have the best vacation of your life by putting up your feet in their "home away from home."

Why they chose this property

This property provides a welcome respite from the 24/7 people, traffic, pollution, and crime of Los Angeles County, the most populous county in the United States. Our LA friends can't believe there is somewhere it is possible to drive for 10-15 minutes without seeing another car! We were in the Kalispell Best Buy on the first day the iPhone 6 was available, and we had a clerk ask if we needed help. Only people from Los Angeles can fully appreciate what that means!!

What makes this property unique

We have owned approximately 100 properties in the last 40 years, but have found this to be the most unique family-friendly vacation property that we have ever seen. Our grandchildren are small now, but can foresee the day when eight teenagers will be playing games and watching TV in the large game room. We have traveled and stayed in timeshares all over the world, but nothing compares to the pleasure we experience in this home. The view from the huge living and dining room windows is like a beautiful painting that changes with the seasons.
