Beautiful, custom-built chalet central to all major attractions in the valley!

This cozy and serene chalet is nestled at the base of the Swan Mountains in a beautiful, wooded area with breathtaking lake and mountain views, only 2 minutes on a paved road to major highway. 12 minutes to Bigfork and Flathead Lake, 25 minutes to Glacier Park International Airport, 30-40 minutes to West Glacier and Whitefish.

This 3 bedroom, 3 bath chalet offers an exceptionally comfortable retreat from the busyness of traveling, sightseeing and vacationing. Year-round comfort is provided by radiant floor heat and gas fireplace in the winter and ductless air-conditioning in the upper level during the summer. It is fully stocked throughout with everything you will need to feel at home. Each bedroom has a queen bed with four pillows, plenty of dresser space and full-length mirrors. An extra bonus is a USB port/charging station at each bedside. Patio has ample seating with a smokeless fire pit to gather around in the evenings (unless local fire restrictions are in effect due to dry conditions). Take the staircase and path down to the lake to enjoy a paddle in the canoe or just sit in the Adirondack chairs, take in the scenery and watch for wildlife. For the more adventurous, you can walk along the edge of the lake to the sand/gravel shore where you can take a refreshing swim. A short walk down the paved road takes you to Tamarack Lake, which is more preferable for swimming. Throughout the day, it’s not uncommon to see deer, wild turkeys, ducks and geese. Those who rise earlier in the morning, may catch a glimpse of a bear, moose, elk or mountain lion.

The “Many Lakes” community is a neighborhood in the Creston area southeast of Kalispell and north of Bigfork. There are over 20 lakes and ponds within the area. These lakes were formed by retreating glaciers and water levels depend on snowfall. In years of high snowpack, these lakes can fill to capacity. Whereas during a drought, they may become more like a wetland meadow or reduce in size.

We hold a "Public Accommodations" license with the Montana Department of Public Health & Human Services and adhere to the highest standards of cleanliness. We use the triple sheeting method for all our bedding, eliminating the use of stand-alone comforters.


** IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE REQUESTING TO BOOK **

* Due to the unique setting of this property, it has an alternative/complex septic system with multiple moving parts and electrical components (pumps, monitors and alarms). For this reason, we absolutely MUST hold to our 6-person limit. Further, there are some basic requests we ask of our guests to reduce overload and help keep this system running smoothly (spacing showers, laundry use, etc.). Despite these minor considerations, the water/septic functions operate just like any other home and should not cause any inconvenience.

* We absolutely welcome children; however, they must be supervised at all times when outdoors as there are many intriguing yet potentially dangerous areas surrounding the property.

* During autumn and winter months, snowfall can happen at any time, often fast and heavy. We do have someone plow the main driveway as soon as possible, however, guests are responsible for the snow removal of the asphalt directly in front of the garage as well as the patio during their stay. Snow shovels, a battery-operated snow blower and ice melt pellets are provided. An all-wheel drive is typically necessary to access the lower driveway when snow-covered. In extreme weather conditions, if the sloped driveway is mostly ice or slick snowpack, guests MUST park in the upper driveway adjacent to the county road and walk to the lower level and chalet (takes 30-45 seconds). If you are not comfortable dealing with snow removal and/or walking on unlevel, patchy snow and ice, we do not recommend staying at this property during these times.

* The property has 4 outdoor security cameras which will be disarmed the entire duration of our guests' stay and will resume at 11am the day of checkout.
