Our group of nine had a wonderful stay at the lodge. It was very clean (and I am particular). The hosts were responsive, accommodating, and friendly! From the large kitchen space, to the outdoor decks, hot pool, and fire pit, it was all lovely. The beds were comfortable and we all had enough space to spread out at night. It was the BEST retreat to come back to after a day of adventures! We all highly recommend and want to come back soon!

Great!
There were 12 of us staying in this house and it suited us well. Plenty of room to move about, beds were good, hot tub was good, fire pit area was nice at night. Convenient to Glacier National Park, Whitefish and Kalispell (airport). The two kitchens were a nice feature; would have been nice to have more chairs around the long table but we were able to bring more chairs up from downstairs. Keep in mind, you definitely will need a vehicle when you stay here. All in all we had a good time. Montana is beautiful!

Destination Glacier
Our group of family friends decided to make a return trip to Glacier National Park. We needed a place that could accommodate 17 adults. This rustic home was perfect. It is well appointed with everything we could possibly need for a weeks’ stay-even bear spray for our hikes. :) The only issue is that the main level is the only one that can be temperature regulated.- making both the upstairs and downstairs a bit warm and stuffy. If we ever return to the area with a large group, we would definitely stay here again.

We booked the house for our entire family- 8 adults & 7 kids. House was clean and very well equipped. Kitchen was super roomy and well stocked for such a large group. Rooms were spread out and allowed us not to be on top of us. The large bedroom with 6 twin beds was perfect for for all the kids! House was private and well located. 30 minutes to Glacier National Park. Close to shopping and restaurants. Saw wildlife in the yard.

Plenty of space for everyone to spread out over the week and a beautiful yard with games and a hot tub. We had an amazing time and the home couldn't have been better.

Perfect for family and friends!
We loved this house! There was plenty of room for everyone. We had 8 adults staying at the house, but we also had visiting family with young children. It was nice to be able to host all of them (there were 9 additional family members who traveled from the Great Falls area to visit with us for a few days. Two families stayed in the KOA campground which was located only a mile or two away from the house. The house was very well stocked with pretty much anything we needed. There was plenty everything including towels, blankets, pillows, sheets, additional folding chairs and tables, coffee pots… you name it, and I’m sure you’d find it! There was also plenty of cookware, unlike other places we’ve stayed in, where there was only one fry pan and a cook pot if we were lucky! There was also bakeware, and enough cutlery, plates, glasses, etc. for all 17 of us to eat dinner! The location was great too! It was just a few minutes to Whitefish, around 20 minutes to Kalispell and 40 minutes to the west entrance to Glacier Park. The house had plenty of outside seating as well. The hot tub was great for sore muscles after taking long hiking trips. There was also a fire pit. Unfortunately, we couldn’t light it during our stay because of fire restrictions. Lu Ann even provided us with a tray of goodies upon our arrival which we truly appreciated! Thank you, Lu Ann, for everything! You made us feel welcome in your beautiful home.

An outstanding house
There is so much to rave about. The house is 10 minutes from the airport and 10 minutes from Whitefish with loads of stores. The 3 porches were a gift. The “morning” porch was where the early risers took their coffee in the sunlight. Cornhole and frisbee were constantly in play in the evening. The 6 late teens loved their room and used the hot tub most nights. What we found amazing was that sound did not travel and the big kids didn’t keep us up. The kitchens were well stocked with dishes and cutlery and dishwashers. We were provided with hand soap, laundry detergent , dishwasher pellets and garbage bags and lots more. The huge lawn was made for frisbee and yoga. Several family members went on long runs and easily found a network of trails. LuAnn was easily contacted with our questions .
