About this property

Cozy condo w/fireplace, close to GNP - Marina Cay Retreat

Welcome to Marina Cay Retreat

This beautifully updated second-story condo at Marina Cay Resort puts you right at the heart of Northwest Montana. The bright, open-concept living area features rich hardwood floors, large picture windows, and curated Montana-themed artwork throughout. Marina Cay Resort adds to the experience with dramatic Flathead Lake views and beautifully maintained waterfront grounds just outside your door. Perfect for a family getaway or adult trip to Northwest Montana, the Flathead Valley is an adventurer's paradise year-round.

The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, white cabinetry, and a bold slate-blue island with leather bar stools, everything you need to cook a proper Montana feast. The cozy living room invites you to unwind with a plush sectional sofa, gas fireplace, large-screen TV, and sweeping views of the treetops. A king in the primary suite and a queen in the second bedroom, making this an ideal retreat for families, two couples, or a group of friends.

Winter
The Flathead Valley is a true winter paradise, known for world-class skiing, snow-covered peaks, and endless outdoor adventure. Carve fresh tracks at Whitefish Mountain Resort, recently ranked #3 in the West by Ski Magazine, or head to Blacktail Mountain Ski Area -- a local, family-friendly gem with panoramic views of Flathead Lake. Beyond skiing, the valley offers something for everyone: snowmobiling with local outfitters, ice fishing on Flathead Lake, and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in Glacier National Park's stunning backcountry. Whether you're chasing adrenaline or quiet mountain beauty, winter here delivers it all.

Summer
When the snow melts, the Flathead Valley transforms into a playground of lakes, trails, and endless sunshine. Spend your days on Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, where you can enjoy boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, and swimming in crystal-clear waters. Just a short drive away, Glacier National Park beckons with the legendary Going-to-the-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and over 70 incredible day hikes. Closer to home, soak in the charm of downtown Bigfork -- a vibrant hub for local shops, art galleries, award-winning restaurants, and the iconic Bigfork Summer Playhouse. Outdoor lovers can hike the Swan River Nature Trail, explore the Jewel Basin Wilderness Area, cast a line in countless lakes and rivers, or play a round at Eagle Bend Golf Course.

Great Experience

It was a good overall stay about a block away from a quiet bay that you can paddle board in or kayak. Some small issues, need a regular toaster, and cable box in master did not function. No dish soap for cleaning dishes. Excellent location.

Lacking Customer Service and Flaws in Home

First the positives: This home was clean which we appreciated especially in our current era. It is also in a good, central location with downtown Big Fork within walking distance. The downsides: This property is not on the lake, but rather a bay. It is still a nice location, but just FYI. The pull-out bed is barely functioning. It was badly bent and sits at a severe slant downward for the person sleeping on the bed. I reached out to management to let them know but never heard back. We didn't really watch TV but when we tried, the television was really difficult to get working. I also wasn't sure what time check-out was so I called to ask (it was nowhere on my reservation info or check-out instructions). I spoke to two people who could not tell me the check out time. I then asked if we could check out at noon and was told "no" even though they didn't know the check out time. They could use a better coffee set up. There was a "shared" drip coffee maker with grounds that I had no idea how old they were or whose hands were in them previous to mine. Plus no basic seasonings like salt and pepper in the kitchen. And the toaster didn't work for us. The sheets on the bed are also really cheap and very scratchy. There is a small pool, but you have to pay a per person fee to use it- seems unnecessary. Finally, my experience with the customer service number would be a 1 out of a 10 point scale. They were not friendly nor helpful and definitely not responsive. I travel a lot with my family all over the world and this experience was one of my least satisfying ones, unfortunately.

Hello Michele, Thanks you very much for the feedback and we apologize for the issues you experienced. It seems as though you missed the tablet in the unit that details our everything about the unit, including check out times and instructions. We should have done a better job describing its location and purpose. We think because of this you were not contacting our staff, but the staff at Marina Cay resort. We did not have any recorded calls or messages from you. We would be just as frustrated as you and we pride ourselves on great service and communication. We have addressed the issues and would love for you to come back and visit again soon, so we can show you what Stay Montana service is really like. Warm Regards, Stay Montana
