This fabulous log lodge was the perfect place for us to launch our Montana exploration! The big yard provided play space for the kids - thanks for providing the balls and bat! We enjoyed family dinners at the long dining table and the porches were so pleasant to either find solace or gather with others. We all highly recommend this lovely spot! (In fact, I have already recommended it to my best friend for her family!)

This property was perfectly set up for our family. We know from past experiences that 5 bathrooms is wonderful! The hot tub was used every night. Our grands range from 23 to 5 months - everyone enjoyed your cabin. The kitchen was perfectly stocked- the griddle was super handy for breakfasts. Luann was great to work with and always answered any questions. The location turned out to be perfect for the activities we had planned. We would definitely recommend this for other families.

The home was exactly as described on the listing and provided a wonderful place to call home during our trip to Montana and Glacier National Park. The location was great because it was only 10 minutes to the town of whitefish and 25 minutes to the west entrance of glacier national Park. The kitchen is fully stocked, the hot tub was great, and a nice yard for my kids to play in was ideal.I also felt the price was fair so all in all it was a great stay. We were blessed to be able to stay at this nice home for a week. Thank you!

We loved our stay at this property. There were 11 members in our family and everyone had enough space to 'chill' and gather as a family. Games and outdoor sports items were available for the grandboys.We had one issue with the hot tub that was addressed immediately.The service and communication with LuAnn was wonderful . I would recommend this property to anyone with a large family. Little incidentals like paper towels, shampoo/bath wash, laundry detergent, dish soap, etc were provided on-site even though we supplied our own.The location was ideal for travel to Whitfish or Kiaspell and only 30 minutes from Glacier NP.We had a great week with our family.

It is a large log house that comfortably accommodates a large family. It is surrounded by nature - a unique experience. I found dozens of dead bugs on the floor. That could be remedied by someone inspecting the house before the guests' arrival.
