Great place to stay with large groups. Lots of room and large common areas. It is well supplied with aĺl the basic needs for your stay. We enjoyed time with family having meals together, relaxing on the porch, and playing games in the large family room. Whitefish is a great town for shopping and dining, it is also an easy drive to other areas of interest. We spent time hiking, biking, swimming, going to Flathead Lake and Glacier National Park.

Beautiful cabin with amazing views. Close to hill but not ski-in or ski-out. Was perfect for our 2 families, everyone was comfortable & large dining table was perfect for everyone to eat at & play cards after dinner. Enjoyed our stay. Note that driveway is extremely steep, narrow & can be icy.

Winter Wonderland Vacation!

The home itself was ideal, and it definitely felt like we were in a winter wonderland cabin with great amenities. That said, there was some initial trouble getting into the house with the touchpad keyless entry and being unable to reach anyone about it for quite some time. However, the property management folks were very apologetic and compensated us for the inconvenience. Our only other complaint was some sort of bug infestation in the master bedroom. It was sprayed, although that did not immediately resolve the issue, which was very unfortunate.

Woodland Retreat

Wonderful large lodge home with plenty of room for our group of 7. We loved the open great room with cozy fireplace. The kitchen offered plenty of room and was fully equipped. The outdoor decks offered a quiet place to relax amongst the trees. All of the bedrooms were comfotable and large. We enjoyed the clubhouse with pool and fantastic outdoor hot tub and patio. You couldn't ask for better accommodations. I have been traveling to Whitefish and Glacier NP for years for the natural beauty of the mountains and numerous hiking trails. Such a great location with a short drive into town and 30 minutes from West Glacier.

Misleading listing

The listing implied that it could sleep 12 people. I guess that was true, but I incorrectly assumed it also meant the 10 of us staying would be able to take hot showers. Unfortunately, the hot water would only support about two to three showers a day. I notified the management company and they said a technician would be sent out but I never heard from or saw anyone in the 8 days we stayed.

Ptarmigan village

We enjoyed our stay in Ptarmigan village. The house itself was gorgeous. The location is great - close to both Whitefish and Big Mountain. We used the Villages’ pool and hot tub daily, and appreciated the private beach access on Whitefish Lake. The only downside was loud dogs barking early in the morning next door. Overall would highly recommend this property!

Perfect for family reunion

We travel every year and have never stayed at a home with such a complete kitchen. Didn't even need to bring our slow cooker. The rooms are furnished exactly as pictured and very clean. With 4 families totaling 11 people, there was room for all of us to eat at the large table. Yet with many rooms and balconies, we could spread out comfortably. Thank you for opening your home to us. Nobody was ready to leave at the end of our 5 days.

Anniversary Family Stay

We absolutely loved the house and our overall experience. My wife and I invited our family to the Whitefish area to help celebrate our 25th Anniversary. I can’t express how enjoyable our experience was. The house more than exceeded our expectations. We would do it all over again.

Perfect Whitefish Mountain Escape!

Great location on the Hill, so close to the ski resort and easily accessible to town. We were a group of old friends looking to get together for the first time since the pandemic started and this was the perfect place. Large enough to spread out but intimate and perfect for spending time together. Would love to come again!

Mini-reunion

We stayed with 3 couples, all college friends from 40+ yrs. ago. Six other college friends stayed in nearby condos, and this house became our gathering place for dinner and socializing in the evenings. It was perfect for that, with lots of space and a large kitchen, and especially with a dining table which could accomodate all 12 of us. Even without air conditioning during a very hot summer, we had a wonderful stay.

Great for family vacation

We had three generations under one roof. There were enough bedrooms and floor space for kids in sleeping bags that all had enough room to sleep comfortably. The dining area was also ample for our crew. We were there during the 'heatdome' so the fact that the property doesn't have AC was a bit challenging -- but most properties in Montana do not have AC so that was just our bad luck. We made good use of the driveway for cornhole and of the private beach at Whitefish Lake. Overall, it was a great property for our large family. I would recommend it.
