Whitefish, Montana

With a rustic interior, you can cozy up by the fire in winter or open the doors in summer & take in the fresh mountain air. On 20 secluded acres, you will by yourself with room to stretch out, yet still close to town.

**This is a non-smoking cabin. Please do not smoke inside the cabin.**
FULL DISCLOSURE: Although the cabin is under 12 miles from downtown Whitefish. The “Last Approx 2.3 miles” is a long gravel road that is maintained all year long, but is not recommended for motorcycles that don’t do well on gravel or vehicles that don’t like gravel roads (read new sports cars with low clearance), i.e. possible dust and bumps along the road. The drive is worth the prize... but hey we are biased on this valuation.
During the winter months, AWD or 4x4 is required due to snow and hills a long the last 2.3 miles.
**Please note the home is not childproof nor does it have safety gates.
We are in bear country! Please don’t leave food out on the deck or garbage outside. Bear spray is recommended if you are hiking. We have some available to use if needed, just ask.
The cabin gets 4-5 bars with Verizon. We don’t have AT&T but folks that do state they had a good connection.
The internet speed is a dedicated 10 Mbps download / 3 Mbps. with a ping of 14 ms. We use a Wi-Max connection. Which is like Wi-Fi but covers longer distances. It is reliable but can be affected by very severe weather.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internet speeds briefly explained below for those that might be asking is the speed good enough. Yes, the connection speed is good for working when on vacation. I have been asked this a few times so I thought I might provide the below to help frame a common understanding.
We have 10 Mbps/ 3 Mbps (down/up) and is good for 1-3 devices connected to the internet and all surfing at the same time. Or watching Internet TV or YouTube videos and one device surfing.
Typically a few devices can be connected and working fine because they are not all tasking the internet at the same time. The challenge is downloading larger files, video conferencing, and watching TV all at the same time. These are all full-time internet tasking activities. Just do one and it’s all good start doing more and more bandwidth is eaten up.
Some general-bandwidth guidelines when thinking about internet speeds and what is required.
Below are general requirements with one device connected to and actively using the internet.
Video conferencing via Zoom or Skype

- Sending 1080p HD video requires 3.0 Mbps (down/up)
For Netflix viewing:
- Minimum recommended broadband connection speed: 1.5Mbps
- Real-world recommended minimum for SD: 3Mbps (down)
- Real-world recommended minimum for HD: 5Mbps (down)
Amazon Prime videos:
- Needs just 900 Kbps (down) to be streamed in standard definition, but you'll need a bandwidth of 3.5 Mbps (down) to upgrade the picture quality to HD.
Youtube videos:
- Google states that YouTube videos can be streamed in standard definition for just 500 Kbps (down) with live events requiring at least 1 Mbps (down). To watch YouTube in HD, 720p videos require a minimum of 2.5 Mbps, while those in 1080p need at least 4 Mbps
We had the best time at Kim’s place! It’s gorgeous and secluded, but just close enough to all whitefish has to offer.
The propert is amazing. We loved that it is off the beaten track and mostly secluded. The hosts or also amazing.
It’s our anniversary getaway over the Halloween weekend. We wanted seclusion and we got just that! Loved the entire vibe this cabin and area gave off. Enjoyed seeing wildlife right out the window grazing. Lots of places for hiking. The drive up the dirt road to the cabin prepares you for the majestic end once you reach the cabin. We will definitely be staying again! Our dogs absolutely loved the freedom they had. Good for the soul!
The house was amazing and very clean, organized and a easy going cabin vibe. I loved every second we spent there and hope to go back soon! Thanks to Kimberly for providing this special rental for us to enjoy.
A PERFECT GET AWAY WITH PEACE AND QUITE, CLOSE TO WHITEFISH AND ALL ATTRACTIONS WITH A SHORT DRIVE. WILL DEFFINANTLY BE BACK. JUST BEAUTIFUL.
Our stay was better than I could have anticipated. The property is beautiful and a true getaway. You can't see or hear anyone else and feel you are in the middle of the mountains all on your own, yet you have all the modern amenities and comforts! It was like a dream.
We loved our stay here. We came here during the end of February/early March to ski and hike. Unfortunately the weather was abnormally terrible and still enjoyed our time so much we will double our time here next time we stay! Place is very clean, great views, secluded, and has everything we would want in a rental for a week+. 4x4 was a must for when we were there but made for a fun ride up and down the hill! Cannot wait to go back.
What an amazing place to escape to for a few days! It’s close enough to Whitefish and Glacier but also tucked away with so much privacy. The sunsets and sunrises from the deck are gorgeous! Everything we needed was in the home and it felt cozy and truly a home away from home. The hosts are wonderful… we’ll be back!
The host is superb, and she thought of all the little things with this property. The location is excellent, the space was clean, and the views superb. The host even brought a few very much appreciated treats for my dogs. Thanks for making this a lovely place to spend a relaxing weekend.
