Riverfront | Boat + Hike Bigfork | Swan River Condo, Walk to Downtown, Gas Fireplace, Pet Friendly

Welcome to Bearister Den!

Park the car and leave it there. Bearister Den sits right on the Swan River, one block from downtown Bigfork, so dinner, shops, galleries and a show at the Bigfork Summer Playhouse are all a short walk from your door. Back at the condo, the river runs fast and loud just past the deck.

Spend the morning paddling Flathead Lake or walking the Swan River Nature Trail, then come home to a ground floor condo made for two couples, a few friends or a small family. One bedroom has a queen bed, and the second bedroom sits behind French doors with another queen bed and a desk for anyone who needs to check in on work. A full bathroom with a tub plus a half bath means nobody waits long, and the washer and dryer let you pack light. Bring the dog along too; this one is pet friendly.

In the evening, turn on the gas fireplace, pour a glass of wine and leave the deck door open so you can hear the river. When it's time for dinner out, downtown is right around the corner, and by the time you pack up you'll already be talking about the next trip.

Summer
When the snow melts, the Flathead Valley transforms into a playground of lakes, trails, and endless sunshine. Spend your days on Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, where you can enjoy boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, and swimming in crystal-clear waters. Just a short drive away, Glacier National Park beckons with the legendary Going-to-the-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and over 70 incredible day hikes. Closer to home, soak in the charm of downtown Bigfork -- a vibrant hub for local shops, art galleries, award-winning restaurants, and the iconic Bigfork Summer Playhouse. Outdoor lovers can hike the Swan River Nature Trail, explore the Jewel Basin Wilderness Area, cast a line in countless lakes and rivers, or play a round at Eagle Bend Golf Course.

We enjoyed our stay at the Bearister's Den and our time in Bigfork. We relaxed in climate-controlled comfort as we took in the view of the Wild Mile below. The Swan River Trail and all of Bigfork's cute downtown restaurants and shops are easily accessible. We liked the proximity of the coffee shop across the street, as well as the Bigfork Summer Playhouse, where we saw Newsies. We weren't at all bothered by the noise of the bar patrons across the street. The apartment was quiet and comfortable, and everything was functional and clean. We liked the rustic and bear-themed decor and appreciated the number and variety of books in the shelves. We'll definitely try to stay here again the next time we visit.

Great location - Everything you need

We loved having this ground floor condo right in the center of Bigfork. It was a rainy weekend, so we spent more time at the spot and walking nearby so it was perfect. The Trail was so close, so we got to walk our pups there each day. Loved the personal touches and amenities, view from the deck, and we played scrabble which was a wonderful way to pass the time!

Well appointed condo in beautiful location on Swan River. We were here in the fall and the autumn colors were breathtaking. Short walk to historic downtown Bigfork for fun shopping. Another short walk to an out and back walking path (4 miles round trip) that parallels the Swan River too.

Beautiful property

I brought my elderly mother for some R&R and loved sitting on the deck listening to the river rush by. The place was clean came with all the amenities of home. Perfect location for downtown shopping and eating. Just a couple things to improve; the mattress on the pull out sofa is very uncomfortable, and the lock on the street door was difficult to unlock.

Great location, a block off the Main Street and from the rear deck of the property, overlooking the Swan River. Well appointed and comfortable. Bedroom separated from the main room by a curtain, no door, which is fine if it’s just 2 people staying. Tight space in bedroom. The deck is awesome. Wonderful town, lots of activities nearby.

We loved the location of this property. You could easily walk to shops, restaurants, and trails. The deck overlooking the river was a nice respite after the day’s activities. There was a hitch with the lockbox during check-in, but the property manager was quick to respond. The only other downside was no reserved parking spots. It was only a problem once, but it happened to be when we were checking in with all of our bags. Overall it was a great stay, and we would recommend the property to others.

Location is Great!!

This location is right in town, with live music a few steps away, great shopping, dining, and Swan River right out back. Awesome deck! The front bedroom is full of sounds of bar life at night-- there is a white noise machine in there that does help. The management team would not allow us to arrive early without charging us, but a couple of hours before check-in, they messaged me that we COULD arrive early. But we had driven 25 hours and had already made other plans. We rented this for 31 days, and they offered us another night just as we were packing to leave, which was not free. But why not let people who paid for 31 days stay one more night at no charge? I guess it's all money and not customer service. The vacuums didn't work and some sheets were yucky (bring your own?), but we still had a great time in beautiful Big Fork!!

This was a great location right in Big Fork yet surprisingly quiet at night. Check in was very easy with many resources to help navigate your stay. It is clear that they strive to provide a great experience for guests. The beds were a little uncomfortable for us - especially the pull out sofa that our son used.

Overall Great Trip

Overall, the property was great! The location is wonderful as the river is right behind the condo and you are close to historical Bigfork. The only item we would mention is that there were not many "essentials" in the condo. There were 4 adults staying in the condo for 5 nights. However, we were left with mostly empty Kleenex boxes (rough for allergy season), a partial roll of TP (we eventually did find where the other one was left), one extra garbage bag, no toilet plunger, and no spices except for salt and pepper. Also, the owners may want to consider replacing the hide-a-bed as our son and daughter-in-law found it very uncomfortable to sleep on. These are minor items though. Overall, I would recommend the condo and would stay there again.
