Views of the Swan Mountain Range and the surrounding fields make this lovely Montana home as pretty as a picture!
The home is secluded and private, but close enough to Whitefish and Kalispell to head into town whenever you want some small-town charm. Glacier National Park is 23 miles away when you want to visit its spectacular vistas, plentiful lakes, mountain ranges, and more. If skiing is what you're after, Whitefish Mountain Resort is 25 miles north.
Mountain views are visible from many of the windows, and hardwood floors and other decorative features make this home elegant and inviting. There is a living space with a stone hearth, a family room with a sectional sofa and chairs, and a TV room, so it's easy to divide into groups for separate activities. With a pool table in the game room, three flatscreen TVs, and WiFi, there's plenty to do for fun.
A gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and mahogany cabinets has everything you'll need to prepare tasty feasts. Stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, a gas grill on the deck, and mahogany cabinets make a beautiful and efficient place to work. Enjoy your meal at the breakfast bar, in the dining room, or outside in the fresh air.
As many as 13 guests will love this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom house. The bedrooms contain a king bed, three queens, a double, and two twins. For a bit more space, there's a sofabed.
Browse through the local boutiques in Kalispell for some presents for the folks back home, then visit the Conrad Mansion, a pre-1900 mansion that remains excellently preserved. For great barbecue, head to Famous Dave's and try the award-winning ribs.
Can't wait to spend quality time with your loved ones? Here's the perfect place for that family trip!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Elk Park Lodge! We were close enough to Glacier to enjoy our days there, then relax on the deck and enjoy that beautiful, big Montana sky in the cool evenings. Plenty of space for our family, well-stocked kitchen, and several bathrooms to share. Would highly recommend!
10 of us visited the areas from Flathead lake to Glacier , to Whitefish and found that this property was an excellent choice from beginning to end for our needs . Great amenities and location

Fantastic House
We loved this house! beautiful views, comfortable and decorated nicely. Easy in and out from the neighborhood and close enough to GNP! Highly recommend. Lots of rules for the house, but we are a quiet clean family so they didn't bother us. Would stay here again 10/10
It was beautiful we brought motorcycles to ride and the house was located perfectly to all we wanted to go see. Views were amazing even with the clouds & smoke. Would definitely recommend

We had a great stay.
My family and I enjoyed our 7 night stay at Elk Park Lodge in late August. I highly recommend this house. It was clean. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. The view of the mountains to the east from the house deck was just beautiful. We kept very busy hiking Glacier National Park, visiting some of the local Montana State Parks, and a flyfishing trip on the Flathead River. From the house it's an easy drive to Columbia Falls or Kalispell for shopping or dining. It was a great stay for my family of 8. Thanks to our hosts for providing everything.
Dart board did not work and no darts!
Hi chair would have been helpful
More chairs for basement area
Great space, loved the fire place family had a great time!

Glacier Family Vacation
The home is in a great location. It's close to Columbia Falls, Kalispell, Whitefish and Glacier National Park. Our family prefers country living as opposed to city living and this home met our expectations. Views from back porch are very good.
The home itself has an incredible floor plan, excellent kitchen, great finished basement with indoor family recreation and spacious bedrooms. The home is very well stocked with everything we needed and best of all, it is very clean. This ranked as one of our better vacations. Considering the magnitude of NW Montana and everything there is to see, we will definitely return and will likely stay at Elk Park Lodge again.

Overall Great Place
House was great and easily accommodated our large group. Property is beautiful with ample outdoor seating and gorgeous views of the mountains. Vacasa property manager was very responsive, and check in/out was very smooth.
We visited in September, so not having A/C wasn’t an issue. One of the fans provided didn’t work, but they have several.
There were two Pack ‘n Plays, which was nice. Wish that was mentioned in the listing so we didn’t have to bring our own bedding for the baby. Also, we didn’t see the ladder for the downstairs bunk bed, so that made for a challenging in and out.
The pool table was nice, but we couldn’t find any darts for the dartboard.
Found some nice restaurants in town, and Glacier west gate is only 20 minutes away, so location is great! Would definitely rent again.

Hello, Sharon! Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that the house accommodated your group well and that you enjoyed the beautiful views and location. We will replace any non-functioning fans, add a new ladder to the bunk bed, and check with the owner about replacing the darts for the dartboard. We appreciate your insights and look forward to welcoming you back!

Nice home with a few major issues
I stayed with my family of 6 in mid-Sept. Good location not far from Glacier NP. Quiet place with a beautiful view of the mountains. The home itself was comfortable, however there were a few problems; one being that the dishwasher was not working with a large amount of foul smelling stagnant water; the home was swarming with flies; and there were a lot of dead bugs on the windowsills in the dining room and living room, dust and dried contact lenses on my nightstand - these issues calling into question the cleanliness of the home, which is especially concerning in the midst of a pandemic and disappointing as VRBO explicitly stated the home would be cleaned and disinfected. I called Vacasa immediately on reaching the home and finding these issues, and heard from Greg shortly who arrived with fly tape and a vacuum to remove the pool of water from the dishwasher. However the dishwasher was never repaired and we had to hand-wash all of our dishes throughout our stay, which amounted to quite a bit considering we were traveling with 6 people including an infant and cooking all of our meals in the house. I did receive a small refund after another phone call to Vacasa after our stay. Would have liked to stay here again but not sure how I would confirm the cleanliness of the place before arriving the next time.

Thank you for staying in one of our homes! We apologize for the cleanliness issues and for the issues you experienced with the dishwasher, but we are glad our team was able to respond to your concerns in a timely manner. The dishwasher has since been replaced and the home has been thoroughly reviewed and inspected by local maintenance staff so future guests will not encounter these issues.

Reviewer Comments:
Unfortunately are stay wasn't that great.There were two factors that contributed to this.One had nothing to with the house.All the fires in the area caused unhealthy air conditions.We had very limited viability so we couldn't enjoy any of the beauty of the area.The reason why we drove 1400 miles to go there.The other reason is there is a yellow jacket nest on the property I would guess it's next to the detached garage.These wasps usually live in the ground ,there is a big pile of old grass clippings and a old dog house.This is where I think they were coming from.Unfortunately these wasp are very aggressive.We we there 6 nights and 5 days.We picked the property because of the outdoor space,which after the first day a couple of us were stung.After that no one went back outside.I hung two yellow jacket traps where I thought they were coming from and by the end of the week it was better.The house is in the country so you expect insects,But these wasps are finding a home on the property from lack of maintenance.The house could use air for the warmer 's a tri-level so the upstairs gets wife said the kitchen could use some nonstick pans.

We understand your frustration with the smoke in the air. It has been clear some days and very smoky others. We are all thankful for the rain we received this weekend and wish it would have come earlier during your stay. We are very sorry to hear you had trouble with Wasps! We are available 24 hrs a day during your stay yet were not made aware of the dangerous wasp nest until reading this review. This is as frustrating for us as we're sure it was for you. We will be sending an exterminator out to the home immediately to remove the wasps nests. Wasps will find any dry place to build a nest, and we strongly disagree it was caused by lack of maintenance. We hope you return to visit again when wildfire conditions are better! - The Montana's Best Team

Reviewer Comments:
We were very disappointed with Montana's Best Vacation Rentals. We would not recommend our friends to rent with them. They need to work on their customer service and also on their marketing. It is not good to offer promotions and then tell consumers they will not work. Also, this home has many windows that do not open and only one ceiling fan in the whole home, and no outside furniture. We were told to put together the fans that were in many pieces in boxes in all the bedroom closets...we thought we were on vacation. And also told to call direct tv ourselves to trouble shoot the service that was not working. The house was 85 degrees at 10:00 at night. Total hot box! If you are going to do summer rentals in this home you either have to install more windows that will open...none of the windows in the great room will open or living room or dining room. And only one in the master. Or you need to install air conditioning. We paid too much money to stay in this home. Compared to other rentals, the value is not there and the management company does not care about the renters. They were very rude and difficult to deal with.

Thank you for your candid assessment of our services. We would like to inform future guests of a few details that are missing. We were very happy to give you a discount on your home when you booked. A promotion we offered 43 days after you booked unfortunately did not apply retroactively and in tandem with your existing discount. Our promotions are also specific to the time periods offered and do not apply to reservation dates outside of those times. While we did patiently explain this to you several times, we felt you were unwilling to understand. This home does not have air conditioning and this was specified on the listing. Your visit fell in an unusually hot spell and fans were placed in the home at the beginning of the heat wave. As soon as we received your call to let us know some the fans were still in the box, we came to the residence and assembled the new fans. The Elk Park Residence is a truly magnificent home that is beautifully appointed and an amazing place to stay. It is unfortunate the home did not meet your standards. We feel that by not granting your request for a second discount, we may have soured your entire experience.

Perfect Family Residence for Wedding Weekend
We rented this home to be close to the Holt Stage Hideaway for our son's wedding and it was perfect. Plenty of space for everyone, clean, well equipped and a spectacular view. Could not have been happier!
This was a great house that held 8 adults comfortably. Beds were great. The only drawback is no air conditioning. July was hot and there was no breeze. We opened the doors and windows at night and closed them early morning. It got uncomfortably hot by 11am indoors.

Beautiful View
The house was great.
I think it’s time for a deep clean.
No extra blankets or bedspreads. That was a challenge.
The kitchen sink has a constant drip and there was a leak under the upstairs sink.
Plenty of towels.
We bought and left a coffee maker because the coffee maker was missing the basket. Took 45 minutes to brew a pot.
No iron.
Very scenic and enjoyable to watch the animals on the adjoining properties.
Convenient to the airport and Glacier Park. Would love to come back again but it doesn’t have a/c, so it would have to be when it’s cooler.

Hi, Jonathan! Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We do apologize for the inconveniences you encountered. We have asked the homeowner for additional blankets as well window a/c units for next summer. We have found the faucet doesn't leak when turned to the correct position and will do better to advise guests of the matter. Thanks again!
Well appointed and located home. Kitchen faucet drips and needs replaced. Short on garbage bags. Water has a sulfur smell. Overall though we enjoyed our stay.
We recently stayed here with family. The location is beautiful and our guests were very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Great house, poor communication and not clean!
First the house, location and views were awesome! It was a great space. However, the communication with the property management company prior to our visit and during the visit left much to be desired--long waits on hold and delayed responses.
When we arrived a little early the cleaning staff was still at the house but allowed us to come into the main floor (she was very nice) as she said only the basement needed to still be cleaned and she was running late that day. While sitting in the the living room, there was a pile of bird feathers clearly visible next to the couch from across the room, and sure enough there was a dead bird under the couch. So some more thorough cleaning would probably be warranted. Most likely the bird flew in and was trapped in the house due to the screen on the back door which doesn't latch all the way.
The management company did contact me prior to my visit saying the washer wasn't working and that if they didn't fix it in time for the visit I'd get $25 per day refund for loss of that amenity, but I never received a reply when I inquired as to whether it had been fixed prior to arrival. And it was not fixed, and I haven't gotten that refund. I have just tried to contact the company, and am waiting to hear back from them on this.
Overall, a great house. Needs better cleaning/dusting/sweeping/fix the back screen door/ and better communication with management company.
Elk Lodge is a lovely home, beautifully decorated in a rustic style. It had everything we needed for a fantastic family gathering of children, parents and grandparents, ages 6 months to 66. The basement with its pool table, bar, and television room got lots of use during the record breaking heat wave, and it was always a very comfortable temperature. The beds were all extremely comfortable, and, for this Jersey girl, the water pressure of the gorgeous stone tiled showers was wonderful! (When you live at 50 feet above sea level, water pressure is pretty much lack of pressure.) If you come, expect to purchase more staples than you are used to and having fewer kitchen appliances. With that one minor exception, everything was perfect.
While this home was just the right size for our group of 11, there were issues from the beginning. The kitchen is fully equipped and we had plenty of space. We arrived to wet towels sitting in the dryer, dirty sheet and pillows on the floor in one bedroom and wrappers under two beds. We called right away when we arrived to report the problems and didn't receive a phone call until 5 hours later. At that point, I had already rewashed the towels and took care of the other items. The property manager followed up the next day and gave us a credit for having to clean. The next day our water was out and not restored until 5pm. The property manager again was helpful and got a service person out to the home to repair the well pump and she came out herself inspect the problem. I showed her the washing machine that had been making a horrible noise when I rewashed the towels. She also personally took our garbage can and emptied it and said she would come back to do it again later in the week so we had overflowing garbage in the garage. She is aware that one of the bedroom screens is broken in addition to the screen door on the patio. Screens would not have been a big deal except there is no AC in the home and they are having 90 degree days right now. The fans we took out of the storage closet had to be completely cleaned as they were coated in thick dust. With some corrective and preventative maintenance and regular cleaning, this property would have been perfect for our 8 day stay. While we appreciated the credits we received for the problems we experienced, what we wanted was a hassle free vacation and we didn't receive that. If these issues are corrected, we wouldn't hesitate to stay in this beautiful home again.

Love it!!
Amazing house! Great location, great layout, clean, and very comfortable for our family for a week. Only thing we missed was an air conditioner when the temp was in the 90’s in June, which I’m pretty sure shouldn’t happen that far north. Would definitely stay here again!

We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit, Michelle! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. We were unable to remove the birds' nest due to the babies just being hatched. A new grill is now in place. We look forward to hosting your next stay!
This house was nearly perfect for our needs! We rented for 4 weeks while we worked in Whitefish. The layout is nice, with plenty of space to spread out; the kitchen is nicely equipped, and the deck and backyard make it nice to spend time outside. There were a couple quirks though (there is no garbage service and it wasn’t picked up regularly so it ended up piled in the garage; we never found a vacuum so I bought an inexpensive one to use during our stay). Overall, the house was great and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!
The only issues we had is that the water stunk like sulfer, and it was hard to get the house to heat up at night, and we never found the darts for the dart board.
The house was spacious, cozy, and perfect for our group! I would go back!
