Scenic Waterfront Retreat on the Swan River!
Nestled on the banks of the Swan River in Bigfork, Montana, this charming two-bedroom rustic ranch style home offers the perfect blend of tranquility and comfort. As you approach this home, you'll be greeted by the warm, inviting exterior featuring natural wood siding, a gabled roof, and a spacious front deck adorned with sturdy wooden railings and comfortable outdoor furniture for you to enjoy the forest view of the Retreat. To the back of the home, there is a private patio off the living room and another patio off the second bedroom giving you direct access to the Swan River, Jewel Basin mountain range surrounding natural beauty.
āāāāāāā*Please note, the two patios and the large covered front porch are available for you during your stay. The main house has a large back deck, outdoor bar and firepit that are private for the homeowner in the main house and not available for your use. We ask that guests respect the homeowner's privacy.*
Stepping inside, you'll find a cozy and well-appointed interior. The open concept living area boasts a vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden beams, creating an airy and spacious atmosphere. A stone fireplace serves as the focal point of the room, offering both warmth and rustic charm. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with sleek black appliances and an oversized island with a granite countertop. The pops of red color throughout the home, in the form of decorative accents and furnishings, add a vibrant touch to the rustic decor and create a sense of coziness.
The two King bedrooms provide comfortable retreats, each offering large windows that allow for natural light to stream in and views of the Swan River. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a glass walk-in shower, heated floors, and floorboard heater for your comfort. The second bedroom boasts a dedicated work space, coffee bar and beverage cooler. Both bedrooms rooms offer plush King beds and mounted Smart TVs.
The property's serene location and well-designed living spaces make it an ideal retreat for those seeking a peaceful escape in the heart of Flathead Valley. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee on the private patio, enjoying a cozy evening by the fireplace, or exploring the outdoors in Glacier National Park, this rustic ranch style home offers a serene and inviting oasis on the banks of the Swan River.
In the winter, the Flathead Valley is famous for its world-class skiing and wide range of winter activities. There are two ski resorts in the area including the local favorite Whitefish Mountain Resort and the family-friendly Blacktail Mountain Ski Area. Whitefish Mountain Resort was recently ranked #3 in the West by Ski Magazine readers! Visitors to the area can also enjoy ice fishing on Flathead Lake, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in Glacier National Park, and snowmobiling with one of the local outfitters.
In the summer, enjoy all the water sports imaginable at Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48! Glacier National Park is also close by with the breathtaking Going-To-The-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and 70+day hikes! Make sure you take time to experience downtown Bigfork boasting shops, galleries, restaurants and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse. There are activities for everyone from hiking the Swan River Nature Trail, exploring the Jewel Basin Wilderness Area, fishing the many lakes & rivers or golfing at any of the exceptional courses, including Eagle Bend Golf Course.
