Nestled just north of Columbia Falls and a 10 minute drive east of Whitefish, this property has a fantastic location. 10 of us stayed here for New Years (late 20's/early 30's). With lots of beds, it fit our mix of couples and singles, and had plenty of flexibility for sleeping arrangements. That said, there is not much privacy/sound control as it is very open concept through the main home. Put your early-to-bed people in the cabin and they will thank you for it later.
After you're done skiing at Big Mountain (skiwhitefish dot com) just 20 minutes away, there's no need to leave this property. There's a ping pong table and a hot tub and lots of games in the cupboards. We were well entertained, had our privacy, and had a blast hanging out in the (warm) garage, finding out who the best ping pong player was of the group. Sadly, it wasn't me.
The only word of caution would be to budget a little extra for cleaning, as the owner is meticulous and the cleaning fee doesn't account for the high standards. You will receive the property spotless: you will also pay to ensure it remains that way. In particular, we were dinged for a filter replacement to the hot tub - something I have never been charged with before through all of my stays (even with large parties). Factor it into the budget, but don't let it dissuade you from staying here.
