Very nice home, clean and well furnished. Only small problems were light bulbs out on front porch and basement bedroom. A low hanging bough over the driveway made it difficult to see the entrance. I was a little confused on how to connect with the owner, this being my first time using Vrbo.

We had a great stay with our family and dogs. We loved the privacy, the location close to the lake, and the nearness of the trails and Glacier National Park. We made lots of great memories and loved the beauty of the wildflowers in the yard. It wasn’t uncommon to see deer in the mornings, which felt so special!

Okay at Best

I was honestly disappointed with the house. The smell of cigarette smoke was overwhelming, the linens on the beds upstairs and the beds themselves smelled very strongly of BO, there was dust and dead bugs and cobwebs throughout the house, the basement was unfinished, and the areas where the dishes were stored were dirty.

Beautiful Mountain Locale!

We rented this home as guests of a local wedding. The 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms gave ample space to sleep and get ready for our event. Communicating with the property manager was always easy. If you are in the Swan Lake area and need a beautiful location to stay, this place is it.

Great place for a family gathering

This was a tranquil location in the trees near the Swan Lake day use area with a boat launch, beach, picnic tables and swimming. The home has a deck that was perfect for sipping coffee, meals and star gazing. The basement has a bedroom with an egress window and there's a bathroom downstairs also. Part of the basement is unfinished. When entering the home it smells as though cigarette smoker(s) may have lived there previously.

The area was really beautiful. The property was okay. We would have liked an internet that performed better. There was a nice selection of DVDs to watch which was great as were were unable to stream any movies. Also, as a family of six we would have liked to have the kitchen a little better appointed, as we cooked most meals in. The beach was a little bit further away than described. If you are visiting to see Glacier National Park it is a bit of a jaunt at least 60 minutes or more of driving. It was nice to have the ability to wash laundry. We prepared and brought groceries along which was a great help. Also, no dishwasher so bringing paper plates a definite positive. The property had a nice big yard which the kids enjoyed.
