Pet friendly condo on the banks of the Swan River Property in Downtown Bigfork - Bearister Den
Enjoy spectacular views and total convenience. The Bearister Den is a deluxe, riverfront condominium with a 240 sq. ft. deck overlooking the Swan River, right in downtown Bigfork Village. Fine dining, galleries, shops, boutiques, cafes, theatre, parks, bays, and the Swan River Nature Trail are all just a short walk away. Bring your furry friend as this unit is pet-friendly. Cozy up by the fire on a chilly night and enjoy the sunset. This home is the perfect place to stay on your vacation to Bigfork. The condo offers two bedrooms with queen-sized beds and an additional queen-sized sleeper sofa for a total of 6 guests.
The Bearister Den puts you in the midst of everything the Flathead Valley has to offer. Stroll through the shops, boutiques and galleries in downtown Bigfork Village. Take in a show at the Bigfork Summer Playhouse. Hike the Swan River Nature Trail. Enjoy Flathead Lake, Glacier National Park, Jewel Basin Wilderness Area, or any of the many excellent golf courses, including Eagle Bend Golf Course. Fish the Flathead and Swan Rivers, Flathead Lake and many surrounding rivers and lakes. Ski Big Mountain and Blacktail Mountain. It's all just a short walk or quick drive away.
In the winter, the Flathead Valley is famous for its world-class skiing and wide range of winter activities. There are two ski resorts in the area including the local favorite Whitefish Mountain Resort and the family-friendly Blacktail Mountain Ski Area. Whitefish Mountain Resort was recently ranked #3 in the West by Ski Magazine readers! Visitors to the area can also enjoy ice fishing on Flathead Lake, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in Glacier National Park, and snowmobiling with one of the local outfitters.
In the summer, enjoy all the watersports imaginable at Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48! Glacier National Park is also close by with the breathtaking Going-To-The-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and 70+day hikes! Make sure you take time to experience downtown Bigfork boasting shops, galleries, restaurants and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse. There are activities for everyone from hiking the Swan River Nature Trail, exploring the Jewel Basin Wilderness Area, fishing the many lakes & rivers or golfing at any of the exceptional courses, including Eagle Bend Golf Course.
