About this property

Bear Den at Henry Creek Orchard

Enjoy peace and quiet overlooking Flathead Lake and Henry Creek Orchard. Located 11 miles south of Bigfork, this beautiful property is within close proximity to all your outdoor adventures including Glacier National Park, Jewel Basin Hiking Area, Whitefish Mountain Resort and so much more.

The Space:

Our newly restored home includes all new appliances, carpet, and refinished wood floors. Numerous windows allow for great views from nearly every room, lots of natural light, open breeze, and songs of the vast variety of birds to enchant your senses.

Master bedroom has king bed with new memory foam mattress, in-suite master bathroom and Roku TV. The 2 upstairs bedrooms share a large loft area with views of the lake and surrounding orchard property. Here, you’ll find two Twin XL beds (long enough for adults) with new memory foam mattresses and a full-size day bed with very comfortable plush pillow top mattress. Each room as a variety of new, comfortable pillows to choose from and extra blankets. NOTE: The upstairs bedrooms are an open concept for more light and airflow, so please consider this if extra privacy is required.

Our kitchen is fully equipped with anything you should need, including drip coffee pot, instant hot water pot, toaster, ice maker, and basic items to get you started like salt and pepper, cooking oil, and a few coffee filters. The drinking water from our well is excellent, and tested twice a year. The outdoor patio is where you may find yourself dining and cooking most often using the provided bbq.

Over-sized living area has comfortable couches and 55” Roku TV. This is the place to take in views and play games with your family, or cozy up next to the gas fireplace during a cold winter’s night. A variety of books, maps, games, puzzles, guide books, cornhole boards, frisbees, and a mini foosball table are provided for guests.

The basement is available for guest to use washer and dryer, and a great place for wet or muddy boots, skis, or lake gear.

Other provided items include free wifi, hair dryer, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, high chair, pack and play, and welcome basket with a few small snacks and coffee

The Property:

Sitting on a few beautiful acres, guests are welcome to explore the grounds outside of the fenced orchard to take in expanded views, listen to the vast variety of birds, and possibly catch a glimpse of other wildlife. Watching the sun set over Flathead Lake from the Aspen grove is a must for everyone! The orchard itself is inaccessible due to required fruit fly sprays and electric fence to keep the wildlife from causing excessive damage to the fruit trees. There is plenty of room to park your boat and play a variety of provided outdoor games.

Nearby Adventure:

Yellow Bay State Park is the closest public access to Flathead Lake 3 mile to the south with a boat launch, dock and pebble beach swimming area. Beardance Picnic area and trailhead are 3 miles to the north. Expanding past this to the North, the outdoor options are endless with Glacier National Park, Whitefish Mountain Resort, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, Jewel Basin Hiking Area, and the list goes on!

This was an ideal house for our family vacation! Everyone had their own comfortable bed. The bathrooms were roomy and well-updated, the kids loved the Bluetooth speakers built into the fan. It was our place to chill after adventures that started early each morning in Glacier National Park, so the couches, huge windows, and yard to watch the sunset were perfect for us! The kitchen had everything we needed for eating a few meals there (grilled burgers on the patio our first night), packing our lunches to eat at Glacier, and even bake some cookie dough once we returned from a day of hiking and exploring. The house had the perfect blend of modern amenities and old house charm. We loved this place!

Beautiful property. Our only concerns were the listing should be updated to include the following information... Steep stairs to the two bedrooms upstairs. The two bedrooms upstairs are joined that you have to walk through one of them to get down the stairs, not providing any privacy to the other couple. This probably would have changed our decision to book this property. Other than that, it was a nice stay for three nights.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Sept, 2026
Eric, thank you for the feedback. To address your concerns, yes the stairs in our restored 1936 home are steeper, but are safe, with double hand rails and carpeted treads. The property description specfically addresses the upstairs bedrooms, their layout, and the specific beds guests have to choose from. We encourage guests to read the descriptions fully, review pictures carefully, and reach out any time they have questions or concerns so we can address them well ahead of time.

I loved this house!!! It was WELL equipped!! We went to Glacier almost everyday and coming home to relax in this house was perfect! The master bed was so comfortable!!! My kids loved the Bluetooth shower head, they listened to their music, lol. We ate dinner every night on the patio and the house had all our kitchen needs (except a crockpot, luckily, I brought mine)! I loved the character of the house! I could tell the owners take great pride in it. Can’t say enough great things about this house, would definitely stay again!

We has a great time! Beautiful area and the house is immaculate. Wonderful view of Flathead Lake. About an hour drive to Glacier NP. Scott was a great host! It was cherry picking time and we picked some delicious cherries right in front of the house. It must be beautiful in the spring during cherry blossom time! Can’t wait to see.The house is described clearly, but we didn’t realize there was no upstairs bathroom. Be aware if that matters.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Johnson

Host profile image
I have spent my entire life in NW Montana, and still find new outdoor adventures every year. From hiking and fishing to snow sports and everything else outside, this area has everything I love. If you have questions about the area or need recommendations, I truly enjoy helping guests and sharing my favorite hiking trails.

Why they chose this property

The low key east shore of Flathead Lake is beautiful and quiet! If you are lucky enough to time the cherry harvest correctly, you can experience the busiest and tastiest couple weeks of the year. This generally falls in late July to early August, but varies each year. Our sweet cherries (Lapin) are usually harvested in a 2 day window.

What makes this property unique

Our house and property have very few visible neighbors and back up to thousands of acres of USFS land. Aside from owners and other staff periodically working on the land and orchard, you have the property to yourselves. The dense forest outside of the fence portion of the property has abundant wildlife including numerous bird species, deer, elk, black and grizzly bear. You may get lucky and catch a glimpse of the large game, but they tend to pass through in the dark and stick to the forest.
