This place was absolutely stunning. The bedrooms were beautiful and it had nice space. It was clean and we would absolutely rent again. My only 2 issues were that that parking is a little tough if you have more than 1-2 cars but we were able to make it work and this property is managed through a different 3rd party so it was confusing that we were getting emailed directions for check in, separate rental contracts, etc but the communication and house was still booked through VRBO.

We are delighted you found Swan Lake House stunning, spacious, and clean, and that you would stay here again. It is wonderful to know the beautiful bedrooms and overall layout helped make your stay enjoyable. We also appreciate your feedback regarding parking and the communication process. We understand that parking can be challenging when traveling with multiple vehicles, and we recognize the confusion caused by receiving check-in information and rental agreements from Natural Retreats while booking through VRBO. As the home is professionally managed by Natural Retreats and listed on VRBO, some communications are sent directly by the management company prior to arrival. We are sorry if that process was unclear and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are glad these were minor concerns in an otherwise wonderful stay, and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future!

Great off season stay

Came during the off season for during a school Easter break. Six young adults/teens with us had a wonderful time on the mud flats playing spike ball, volleyball, and even dipping into the cold lake. The home was perfect for this family vacation.

Great property. Beautiful home. Very clean. Private dock. Loved that they dont have you do chores at end of stay.Close to grocery store and restaurants. Only an hour from Glacier National Park and 30 minutes from airport.Would have been nice if there were paddleboards at the proprty to use on the lake.

The home was fantastic! Spacious, clean, and well equipped with everything you need. And the most comfortable beds! In fact, we’re going to order the one in the master bedroom. Loved being right on the lake, and the beautiful views. We had an issue with the sliding door and it was dealt with immediately and appreciated the fast and friendly response. We would definately go back.

Amazing Flathead Lake House!

This is an amazing property. The location is perfect. It is near everything - restaurants, lake access, glacier national Park, Kalispell and White Fish.. The house is perfect for a family gathering. I have no complaints or anything negative about this house. We had an amazing time!

Awesome house

We had a great time. The house was clean and well-maintained - it did not look banged up in the slightest like some house rentals do. Everything in the house worked well. As others noted, the parking situation was not ideal but we made it work. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone.

Big Time in Big Fork

The property is better than advertised! The lake views, the amenities in the home, did I mention the views? Wonderfully refreshing vibe! The location is perfect…2 mins from the bustling Big Fork downtown area…all one block of it! 30 mins from West Glacier entrance and 25 mins from Kalispell Airport. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful Montana

Really everything was great…the lake ,the house, the nearby towns. We were only a short drive to the glacier national park. Couldn’t have asked for the house to be nicer. The reason for only 4 stars is there was not a welcoming book to tell us what was close , phone numbers for lake rentals close, or any suggestions for restaurants near by. We always find these helpful at other places.

Sisters weekend

We had a wonderful time staying at this incredibly beautiful home. Everything was perfect for our stay. The only things we noticed that might come in handy are full length mirrors in every room and TV’s in all bedrooms but really when you’re at the lake it isn’t necessary. We did notice that the wall above the fireplace gets very, very warm when the fireplace is on. For safety reasons we wanted to let you know.

A beautiful home in a beautiful setting.

The home is exactly as shown in the pictures. It is very well designed for groups of people. Three bedrooms with bathrooms plus a bunk bed room. Two additional bathrooms. Open concept kitchen/dining/living room area that is big enough to accommodate multiple conversations. Very nice outdoor seating areas. The only thing that is a little difficult is pedestrian access to the main part of the town. We had a very good week staying at this property.

House was lovely as represented. One issue that needs immediate attention 1. The mechanical room has a “ constant whining noise that seems to be a problem with the water system operating properly. Noise became quite annoying after a couple days / requires professional attention to the problem.

Great locatation - inside/outside living

Stunning property with an amazing location. Water views on 3 sides through expansive glass walls and windows were beautiful. The home easily accommodated our group of 2 seniors, 2 adults, and 6 teenagers. Tip: Parking is tight but we were able to easily park 3 cars (F-150 pickup, Escalade SUV, and smaller Nissan Murano), without blocking the neighbor's driveway access, by parallel parking one of the larger vehicles across the end of the drive. Property is for sale but we will definitely return if it remains in the vacation rental market.

Wonderful & spacious

Loved our stay in this beautiful modern home during spring break visiting nearby family. Spacious comfortable beds in all rooms with warm bedding. Perfect sunset views and night. It was wonderful to have so much bathroom space & showers with 9 of us there. The lake was very low due to early spring which was actually convenient & gave all our teens endless “yard” space to play spikeball & other games on the sandy lake bottom “beach”. Parking space super limited as noted in the listing however we were still able to fit a Ford Explorer in garage and F350 truck in the driveway. Super conveniently located, especially to the little downtown of Bigfork. Definitely recommend and would love to stay here again in the future.

Beautiful Modern House on Flathead Lake

Property is beautiful overlooking Flathead Lake. House is well represented by the pictures, well maintained, clean, and in GREAT shape!! Host was precise and prompt on all communication. Yes, parking is challenging, and limited to 2 vehicles. And this was communicated. Our party (10) only had 2 vehicles. The house is off of a pipe stem driveway that cannot be blocked and only room for 2 vehicles. Awesome property, and I would stay there again.
