Absolutely most beautiful view for a riverfront property. Just steps from porch to river. We had group of 7, would easily accommodate 12 adults. Very comfortable and clean. Kitchen fully equipped. Would definitely stay again!

Fly fishing haven

Wonderful location nestled against the Swan River. Perfect for our group of five long-time friends. Excellent communication, list of things to do, check-in and check-out process. Only complaint was the buried additional charges re taxes, cleaning fees and what we felt was an exorbitant VRBO booking charge. Would urge a bit more transparency on this. The house itself was outstanding!

Perfect family home with many king beds & bathrooms

We loved the house and the location on the river. We had 9 adults and it is usually hard to find homes with lots of king beds and in room baths, so that was a bonus. The gas line to the outdoor grill was great too - not having to deal with propane tanks. Our only minor suggestion is that they get a few more large pots and platters. We love to cook and for our large group, we had to improvise to have enough pots. We would go back in a heartbeat!!! We bought river tubes online and went tubing for a short 45 minutes almost daily then left the tubes with a family friend who lives nearby.

Beautiful home & excellent location. When we arrived, we found potato chips & corn chips all over the back deck. A dirty towel was left on the bathroom floor of the master suite. Wooden benches out front had some damage. We just avoided them. Advertised as having a ping pong table, but no paddles or ping pong balls. We ended up buying tubes to float the river from Sliters in Bigfork, as some from the VRBO were damaged and didn't hold air. Probably the most difficult issue was booking. Copious overlapping emails, half of which stated our reservation was cancelled. It took us going to the office to make sure we had reservations.

Christmas family getaway

Lovely location on the swan river, house needs lots of Maintanence and is very basic.. has a hot tub but guests NOT allowed to use it!! WS only 61 degrees upon arrival and took a full 24 hours for house to warm up to 72. Ice maker broken, tvs we’re next to worthless with no cable connections…. Was not worth the price for what we got.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 May, 2022
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback regarding your stay. The hot tub is not advertised as being useable, as it is under maintenance. The house was set at 68 degrees before you arrived and we provided you with space heaters to help with the heat. We have made multiple attempts to make this right with you and you have declined all offers. We would love another opportunity to host you again in the future and show you the true Stay Montana experience. - Stay Montana Family

We loved this house on the river! Would definitely book again. Great location!

We loved staying on the river and being able to walk straight into it off the back porch. We were able to fish and swim whenever we felt like. We floated the river to the house which was fun! Great food near by and within an hour or less of Whitefish and Glacier. But who needs that when you have delicious food and great hiking (Jewel Basin) and a river in your back yard. The house was very comfortable and the spent most our time on the back porch. Loved this place!

A Splendid Beauty in Paradise!

This rental was absolutely fabulous! Would seriously consider renting again. The natural beauty of the site is, well, beyond words. The spacious accommodations for our family of 10, ages 79 to 15, were very comfortable and the location, relatively close to Glacier National Park, cannot be equaled in our opinion. Six of us are fly fishermen and greatly enjoyed our float on the Clark Fork with guides from Bigfork Anglers, the best guide service! Memories for a lifetime were created during our week in this beautiful rental on the Swan River! We can highly recommend it to others! Sean and Sandy Althaus
