Weekend in Whitefish

What a great place to stay. This house is a lot bigger than it seems from the pictures and from first seeing it from the outside. Everyone had lots of room and the main living areas are perfect to keep everyone together. Would recommend anyone coming to whitefish to stay in this house.

Incredible Vacation Spot!

Located perfectly between downtown whitefish and the mountain's base lodge, this house is perfectly placed to take full advantage of the town and outdoor activities. The house is clean, spacious, and has all the amenities to make it a destination in its own right. The hot tub, sauna, grill, large living and dining rooms, and plentiful sleeping spaces makes it a great area to host a group on a mountain vacation. I can't recommend the spot enough!

Lovely spot near the ski hill

Very fun and eclectic place to stay. Not super modern home- but that’s definitely part of the charm. There was plenty of room for our group of skiers and we made good use of the sauna and hottub. Super short drive to the hill and easy drive into downtown. Would recommend the host to find a better labelling system for the light switches, but that was barely even a minor inconvenience. Would stay again!

Great Stay

We had an excellent stay. Had plenty of space for 13 people. Kids enjoyed the hot tub. Lots of space to sit down & eat. Enough bathrooms for everyone and common space far away enough from the sleeping areas to allow privacy.

Beautiful Home with Easy Access to All Whitefish Amenities

My friends and I absolutely loved this home as it had plenty of beds for 10+ adults to fit comfortably while also providing tons of common area space - including a massive dining room table for the whole group to eat at. The jacuzzi and outdoor firepit were also really awesome. Despite the house sitting on a large, quiet lot that made us feel completely secluded, it is conveniently located just 5 minutes from the lake and downtown, 10 minutes from the golf course, and 20 minutes from the ski resort. We would 100% stay here again!

Fun with friends

We enjoyed our stay here. The game room, hot tub, fire pit, and sauna were all utilized during the week, especially by our four young adult kids. The house is in a great location but also on a busy road. Not much yard to play in, but we had plenty to do. Communication was good. The house is unique and quirky, especially navigating the light switches. Thanks for a nice stay!

Great stay for our multi-generational trip

Such a unique home, with some quirks! It comfortably hosted our group of 11, ages 2-70. Plenty of seating. Game room was great for teen kids. Hot tub was nice. Bedrooms were HOT, but we did visit during a heat wave. Landscaping could use some upkeep. Appliances are a little old. Great location for access Whitefish Mountain Resort and Glacier National Park. Easy drive into Whitefish.
