Great location, beautiful home, plenty of space. We enjoyed the hot tub on the back patio with a beautiful view of the lawn and mountains. The home is close to plenty of restaurants and things to do.

Big Fork Wedding Week

We spent one week at this great VRBO with my siblings and their spouses for our son's wedding. It was a perfect location for the rehearsal dinner in Lakeside and the wedding at Jewel Basin. There were plenty of bedrooms for the family, great outdoor seating, and we enjoyed lovely walks in the neighborhood. I highly recommend this home!

House was great, the kids loved the hot tub. Not having to go by coffee that was provided the first morning was much appreciated. Plenty of other kitchen utensils and supplies if you wanted to cook at home. Property is nicely maintained, the fire pit was also enjoyed by the kids. We enjoyed our stay. Not too far from Whitefish/Glacier. Would consider staying again in the future.

Girls' Weekend in Big Fork

We had a wonderful time at Kanehaven. The spot was perfect for five friends in our 30s and 40s to gather for our annual girls' weekend. Some highlights included the hot tub and patio furniture, walking distance from the local grocery store and distillery, the kitchen was stocked with spices and oil (which isn't always the case in rentals). I'd recommend this spot for families and friends alike!

Wonderful House for Families with Small Children

We had an amazing stay at this property! The house was spacious and set up perfectly for families with younger children. Our favorite place to hang out together was the hot tub. Movie night was also great in front of the fireplace. The location was wonderful, had a private feel but was convenient to get to Kalispell or Glacier National Park. Thank you for hosting us!

Bigfork for Spartan Race

Plenty of towels available and the hot tub was clean as was the house. I was impressed with the supply of trash bags, coffee filters, tea & coffee plus plenty of TP. Having all that saved a trip to the store. Plenty of room to spread out. Conveniently located by Kalispell airport and Glacier National Park. It’s located in a very quiet neighborhood. The house was the perfect location for my family.

Big Fork Family Home

This is a great home for a family that wants to be in the town of Big Fork but just off the main road. It’s tucked away in a quiet neighborhood walking distance from stores. There are plenty of things to do at the house for both kids and adults. We really enjoyed the back yard and hot tub. The only negative was that there is only one king bed in the master. The rest are queens or kids beds. I’d highly recommend this property for families.

Nice Location and Lots of Room

The location was great. It was tucked away in a very quiet neighborhood. Beautiful landscaping. 4 bedrooms plus a bed in the loft was great and gave everyone their own space. It could definitely have been cleaner. It wasn’t horrible, just not up to the standards I’m used to with the VRBOs I’ve stayed at in the past. My only other comment would be that an additional bathroom would be useful.

Big holiday fun in Bigfork home

Our family of six spent Christmas here--and because we were coming from out of state, the property manager put in a live decorated Christmas tree and other Christmas decorations for us! This home is tucked away in a small little neighborhood, and due to all of the trees it feels very private. It is close to a grocery store and a few little restaurants, and a short drive to the adorable shopping village of Bigfork. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the living room was cozy. The activity our adult children liked the most was sitting in the jacuzzi while it was snowing. I, however, enjoyed the claw foot tub in the main bathroom, while it was snowing.;] Would highly recommend this home to a group, but especially to families with children.
