Great location

Perfect location as the house is just a few blocks from downtown Whitefish. Clean with modern appliances (although we couldn’t figure out how to use the espresso machine - lol). Easy self- check in and really, really comfortable beds.

Family vacation

The house was as shown on the website. The decor was eclectic and fun. The bedrooms had space, but the beds were against the walls, making it a bit more challenging for two people. Yet, the rooms had space for clothes and luggage. The location was perfect for our visit to the Huckleberry Art festival and the train station. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect House, Great Location!

We absolutely loved our stay at this sweet house. It was clean, well equipped, and our favorite part was the location! Great little walking trail to the beach, easy 5 min walk to town and great restaurants nearby. Nice little view too. The seating area was comfortable and we loved the artwork and quirkiness - just a great vibe in the space. Thank you to the hosts who were easy to communicate with. If we ever are lucky enough to come back to Whitefish, we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great location and cottage

Beautifully furnished and very clean. Will definitely recommend to anyone that needs space to sleep 5-6 people comfortably. TV reception not best, but so many other activities it didnt matter. Town is "eclectic" with lots of shops to visit. Deer freely roam around little town that adds to quaintness!

Amazing home in ideal location

This was our first trip to Montana as a family and we wanted a place to call 'home'. This was it! We could walk to all the shops and restaurants. The GTTS road was only 30-35 away as well. Highly recommend! Very clean place and super cool inside.

Excellent location, perfect jumping off point to Glacier, a walk to downtown

Great location. Easy walk to downtown. 30 min to Glacier. Easy walk to Whitefish Lake and other in town trails. Could do with some black out curtains for sleeping as it was very bright in the summer time. Otherwise hit all the high points and would stay again.

Whitefish Love!

We have been going to WF for many years and this is the first time we have stayed here. Loved how close we were to downtown, to yoga, to spinning (which is sadly closing) , to Abruzzos, and to our favorite spot for a pint or 4, Bonsai! We felt very comfortable, loved hearing the trains, and seeing the deer across the street! Would definitely return! A sweet spot!!!!

Peaceful and so close to the Mountain

Our 2nd annual stay at the cottage was outstanding! Everything we needed was available to us in the clean and well thought out cottage, and we love the short strolls to all the conveniences of beautiful downtown Whitefish. We really enjoy the proximity to everything and the quiet neighborhood. Being on the chair lift on Big Mtn in a flash after an easy drive is heaven. And then reliving the runs while looking at them from the spacious kitchen window makes it even better. Thanks for the hospitality!!

Wonderful in Whitefish

My wife and I loved staying in at this cozy home in Whitefish. The location is amazing, with the Whitefish trail literally right across the street. It is a beautiful walk along the river to the lake. Restaurants, bars and shopping are also in easy walking distance.
