WoW - what a place!!

Amazing home - beautiful property. What a spot for a gathering of friends and family -- the home has everything you could want for 2 days or 2 weeks. The property is even better - great trails for hiking and snowshoes!! So glad we found this place and certainly will be back in the future!!

Beautiful home in a fantastic location!We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home. The house is spacious, comfortable, beautifully appointed, and extremely well equipped. It was perfect for our family group, and we especially appreciated having five bedrooms and five bathrooms so that everyone had their own space.The location could not have been better. Being situated between Whitefish and Columbia Falls made it incredibly convenient for exploring the area and Glacier National Park, while still being close to restaurants, shopping, and everything we needed.We did have a plumbing issue with one of the bathrooms during our stay that unfortunately was not resolved despite several contacts with the management company. We were disappointed with the communication and follow-through at the time, although management did provide a fair adjustment after our stay, which we appreciated.That issue aside, this really is a special property. We had a wonderful week here and made some terrific family memories. The house and location are truly exceptional, and we would happily stay here again.

!!!

The house and property are gorgeous, we had a great family vacation celebrating our parent's 50th wedding anniversary. We had plenty of space and the kids loved the bunk room. The host was excellent to work with and puts a lot of care into this property. We loved the privacy while still being close to town.

Perfection

This house was absolutely perfect for our family Christmas getaway. It was clean and exactly as described. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and had a great coffee bar. The host was so responsive and accommodating. This house has everything necessary for a large group getaway. The bunk room away from the other bedrooms was a great place for our teens to hang out. Beds were great as well! We loved this place and would recommend to anyone visiting Whitefish.

Amazing property and house with all the details

The house was amazing and the perfect size for our three families! The bunk room is a great space for the kids. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit while watching the kids play in the snow and explore. All of the adults went on long walks down the drive to visit Sebastian (the neighbor white fluffy dog) who would greet us. Every detail was considered, and the house was really well stocked. We made some great memories on this trip and hope to be back soon!

Our daughter decided to have her wedding at GNP. Because it was a destination wedding for us, the house served its purposes for out-of-towners. The property was gorgeous, very clean, spaceous for all of us (12 adults), and was very well equipped with high end appliances. The smoker was particularly enjoyed by my nephew who enjoys cooking with it ;-). The hot tub was also a hit as well as the fire pits and the Breville. We got a brief visit by a black bear (very quick, not enough time to snap a photo) which was exciting. Of course, the deers were constant visitors. The house added a lot to the Montana experience and memories. I highly recommend the property.

Spectacular home!

We spent the week at Back Forty Lodge to celebrate my daughter’s wedding in Whitefish. Everything was perfect. There was plenty of space for family. Each guest had their own bathroom. The owner went above and beyond to help make this an enjoyable week. I would give him a more than 5 star rating if I could.
