About this property

Your Home Away From Home in a country setting while still being close to town.

Our spacious downstairs apartment offers private space with its own full kitchen, 2 large bedrooms, one bedroom with a queen bed and the other bedroom with 1 queen bed and 1 full bed and a large bathroom with a shower/tub. Both bedrooms have wall mounted smart TVs, and the living room has a large screen smart TV with Roku access on all of them.

There are no stairs to have to deal with, full sized washer/dryer included and is wheelchair accessible.

You can watch the stars twinkle at night as we have very little light pollution & hardly any road noise so you can hear birds singing and enjoy seeing deer, wild turkeys and a few peacocks. We also have lots of chickens so if you are interested in having farm fresh eggs for breakfast, all you have to do is ask us. They are on the house!

There are also several games and toys upon request for you and your family to enjoy and a swing set with slide in the back yard for the kids. A portable playpen is also available that can be used inside or outside for guests with infants and toddlers upon request.

Fantastic Property

This basement apartment was perfect for our family of five, especially with a wheelchair. It's a little further out of town than I initially thought, but I'd happily stay there again. Especially during the summer, it seems like the perfect summer getaway.

Thanks for the great review! We loved having you here and we look forward to another time in the future when you all can visit again, like you said in the summer. The wildlife moves around a lot more in the yard during the summer months also that the kids would likely enjoy. Barb & Shawn

Wonderful Country Place in Kalispell

A beautifully appointed, spacious accommodation. All appliances are modern, the rooms are interestingly decorated and large, the beds are comfortable, there are lots of excellent towels and washcloths. The hosts are knowledgeable, friendly and non-intrusive. This is a very comfortable place for someone to get a taste of Montana. We are sure that it is the best value short term rental in The Flathead Valley

Very clean and comfortable and the hosts were so nice and helpful.

We arrived later than we had planned and the hosts stayed up and showed us around to ensure we understood how to use things and answer questions. Beautiful area and I loved watching the deer roam around in the morning. The kitchen is wonderful and has everything and more. Extremely clean and comfortable. We loved our first visit to Montana.

Good times at the ranch

The Ranch is just what we called it. 😋 Everything was perfect, a great place to stay near Kalispell. Peacocks and chickens and deer and a couple cats roaming the yard at all hours definitely was enjoyable. Barb and Shawn were great hosts and we enjoyed meeting them and also the fresh eggs they gave to us! They had everything we needed even a couple of foam coolers to use on our adventures in Glacier National Park! Thank you so much!

Relatively clean place, friendly owners , however many property was not represented correctly

Wifi - not totally accessible. With no cell coverage wifi is fairly important. Access, not easy trouble with locking system. Air conditioning was controlled by owners upstairs / hot and muggy. Thermostat accessible but controlled elsewhere. Could not open windows due to owners and fowl right at window level. Tv did not work at all. Bedrooms misrepresented on Vrbo / stated thee separate beds in two bedrooms and living rooms , with three couples this was I bit of an inconvenience.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Jul, 2022
Kathleen: I am so sorry you were disappointed in your stay at our place. I wish you would have mentioned your issues to us while you were here so we could try and remedy the situation. You did mention the door lock issues and we are in the process of getting that entire locking mechanism replaced. We are also trying to improve the wi-fi, but CenturyLink (that we go through for internet) only has limited services. We will have Starlink but not until late 2022. I had no idea that the TVs did not work so we will check into that as well. Regarding the thermostat, you are mistaken in that it is not controlled elsewhere. The controller that is in the apartment is the only controller for that area. Guests have full control over the heater for the entire apartment. However, we do not have any air conditioner at this time. I'm sorry it was uncomfortable for you. The bedroom/living room was changed this spring and I forgot to update the VRBO descriptions. I will have that updated as well. I hope the rest of your summer goes better. Barb and Shawn

The Handy’s Have a newly remodeled beautiful apartment with all new appliances. Barbara has done a wonderful job of decorating to give you the feeling that you are at home. Fully equipped kitchen , comfortable beds in large bedrooms, new washer and dryer,Roku TV, and WiFi. Who could ask for more! This was our first time using VRBO and are very happy we chose to do so! Friendly, considerate and helpful hosts. Barbara met us upon arrival and even helped carry our supplies to the house. Really enjoyed our 4 nights, everything was clean and organized. We would highly recommend renting from them. Steve from Wisconsin

Comfortable place

The booking process was very easy and Barbara was a pleasure to work with. The apartment is below the home and looks exactly as described. The home is quiet and in a lovely rural setting, yet just minutes fron town.. It's very clean and comfortablle. It was a great central location between Kalispell and Whitefish.
