Had another great week here in Whitefish. Thanks again and see you next year,
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
This property had distinct pros and cons. On the plus side the home is as-advertised: large with spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Plenty of room for eight, even though we were only six. Kitchen was well stocked and everything was spotless when we arrived. The downside was snow removal, or rather lack thereof. The driveway is very steep and curved (I'd be shocked if 6 cars could actually fit) and extremely icy. I was unable to get out without putting my truck in 4WD, and my wife's front wheel drive was unable to make it up the slope without assistance (she would up parking in the overflow spots on the road). While the listing shows a photo of a two car garage it is not accessible to guests. This should be stated explicitly in the listing. Be aware that this property is managed by a third party, Natural Retreats. They were very professional and responsive, but a bit pushy when it came to money. For example their cleaning crew found our group had left a few items of clothing behind. They were kind enough to send it back to us, and I was happy to pay the 20, but received three "Balance Due" notifications in the 12 hours following.

Our stay was great and we enjoyed the house. There were two important things to mention. The coffee maker literally takes 2 hours to make a full pot of coffee, there was a Keurig but it would not work and the microwave does not get things really hot, just warm. We would stay again next year when we visit our daughter in WF if these items are fixed or replaced. Thanks!

The place was perfect for us. Sister stayed with us week one. Daughter week two. Everyone had their own floor. Great amenities. Great location. Very private. We could even walk to the lake and downtown Whitefish. Glacier only 30 miles away. Very thankful. Great management group.
