This home was perfect for our family. It was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen. We spent the evenings on the deck by the fire pit. The view was simply beautiful!! Crista was always available if we needed anything. Great Experience!
Gorgeous, spacious house with all of the comforts of home! Magnificent views of the mountains from the kitchen table - made every meal memorable - complete with a stunning rainbow one evening after a thunderstorm moved through!Christa was an excellent host - all information was provided prior to our stay.Bear spray was available for our use for our hikes in the Jewel Basin.Excellent, excellent place to immerse yourself in the peace and serenity of the Majestic Montana Montains!
We enjoyed our stay in Bigfork. It was conveniently located near all the excursions we had planned. The kids really enjoyed the swings, badminton and ping pong games as well as the cows in the back pasture. We enjoyed sitting on the decks watching the thunder storms roll in during the evening hours. The house had plenty of room for us to gather each evening for meals and homemade ice cream. The huckleberry jam the owners left for us was a nice touch and perfect for the morning French toast.
This property is beautiful and tastefully decorated. We found the front porch our favorite place to hangout and the views are magnificent! The neighboring cows gave us great entertainment and we had some fierce badminton games. Kitchen fully stocked with everything we needed. The smart tv allowed us to keep up with the Olympics. Christa responded quickly to questions. As my mom is getting older, it was nice for us to all be together in one location. We would certainly stay there again. Thank you Christa and Marc for sharing your home!
Our stay included our two adult (30ish) children and their spouses. The house is perfectly laid out and set up for three to four couples, with plenty of separate common spaces for separation of activities. If I had our house to design again, this would be it.
The mountain view is phenomenal, especially the sunrise.
Convenient to the park and other things to see and visit in thins part of Montana.
The most comfortable vacation stay we have ever enjoyed. I can’t say enough, and we are already considering a return visit with friends, in the future.
Christa was great to work with prior to and during our stay, providing amenities that few other stays have v
Christa's house was truly spectacular. We had a great time and it made for a perfect home base, right near Bigfork and Flathead Lake and only about 45 minutes to Glacier Park. The home was so well stocked with everything we needed, including lots of fun activities - ping pong, darts, badminton, and even disc golf! You can tell this is truly a home and not just a rental property. The view is amazing and we had a magical time grilling and sitting on the deck. It felt like a movie set with cows grazing in front of the beautiful mountain backdrop. Christa also provided all of the information and recommendations we could need to enjoy our stay. I could not recommend this place more highly! Would stay again in a second.
