About this house rental

Welcome to Ridgecrest Lakeview Retreat, where you can enjoy the best of Whitefish without having to choose between being close to downtown, Whitefish Mountain Resort, or Whitefish Lake!

The Location:

One of the best features of Ridgecrest Lakeview Retreat is its location right between downtown Whitefish and Whitefish Mountain Resort. You’re close enough to enjoy everything downtown has to offer, while still being just a short drive from the slopes.

In the winter, that means you don’t have to drive all the way through town and up Big Mountain Road just to get to your vacation rental. After a day of skiing, you can head straight back to the comfort of your home away from home without adding unnecessary time to your drive.

In the summer, the location is equally convenient. The Whitefish Bike Trail is nearby, making it easy to hop on your bike and ride toward downtown, the lake, and other local destinations without getting in the car.

And when you want to explore beyond Whitefish, you’re just about 30 miles from the West Glacier entrance to Glacier National Park, making Ridgecrest Lakeview Retreat an excellent home base for exploring one of Montana’s most spectacular destinations.

Despite its convenient location, Ridgecrest Lakeview Retreat has a peaceful, tucked-away-in-the-woods feeling. You’ll feel surrounded by Montana scenery while still being minutes from downtown, the lake, and the mountain. Add in scenic views toward Whitefish Lake and a fenced yard, and you have a rare combination of convenience, privacy, and outdoor living.

Whether you’re visiting for a ski trip, summer lake vacation, mountain biking adventure, or a trip to Glacier National Park, Ridgecrest Lakeview Retreat puts you right in the middle of it all.

And yes—your four-legged family members are welcome, too!

Kitchen & Dining:
The newly updated kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals during your stay, while the dining area provides a comfortable place to gather after a day on the lake, trails, or slopes.

Outdoor Oasis:
Step outside to the spacious private back patio, complete with a gas grill and outdoor seating for relaxed Montana dining. The fenced yard gives kids and pets room to play while you enjoy the peaceful wooded surroundings.

Great!

Our first time visiting Glacier National park. Perfect house for us. Chris was amazing. He answered any question immediately and was unbelievably accommodating. The coffee maker had a glitch and within 30 minutes a new one arrived on our doorstep. Now that’s service! No reason to stay anywhere else. 5 min drive to town.

Excellent location. Midway between town and the mountain and close to the lake. We appreciated the pet friendliness- fenced back yard for our pups to roam and relax. Well stocked kitchen and amenities. Very responsive hosts when any questions arose. Neighbors in the duplex were incredibly friendly and added to the overall experience with chats across the back yard. Great stay and property was as represented on the website. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and seeing all the wildlife off the back yard.
