Enjoy spectacular views of the Swan River from this luxury, fully-furnished and well-equipped condo located in downtown Bigfork. The views of the wild Swan River from the front deck will amaze you as they are unobstructed with the sights and sounds of a rushing whitewater Montana river just a few feet away. You will see nothing but the trees and river with the occasional exception of the wildlife that choose to visit. This 1330 sq foot condo plus 250 sq foot deck includes a gas barbecue and comfortable seating for outdoor dining. The master bedroom includes a queen-sized bed in the upstairs loft with its own bathroom and great views from the windows. The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed located on the main level with a separate bathroom that includes a jacuzzi tub. The kitchen and living area offer an open floor plan to maximize your enjoyment of the gorgeous views. The kitchen includes all stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops plus a dining table for 4. The kitchen counter has 3 bar stools for extra dining. The comfortable living area centers around a rock gas fireplace.

While you appear to be isolated in the wilderness at the Chickadee Chalet in the heart of Bigfork you are just one block from downtown shops, galleries, fine restaurants, live music and dancing. The Bigfork Summer Playhouse has live theater and professional productions that change throughout the summer with none of the hustle-bustle of a large city. Downtown Bigfork is also the center of all outdoor activities including fishing or sightseeing charters, bike rentals, kayak, canoe and paddle board, ski boats and jet ski rentals. Minutes away from the condo is the Swan River Nature Trail that runs the length of the famous 'Wild Mile' rapids. Run, walk, bike or fly fish along this beautiful hidden trail. The Eagle Bend Golf Course is a 500 acre, 27 hole course that is located 2 miles from downtown and offers the avid golfer the best in the valley. Eagle Bend is a public course and includes a restaurant and pro shop on site. Adjacent to the course is the Montana Athletic Club housing a complete work out center, pool, personal trainers, racquetball and tennis courts.

The Swan River flows into Bigfork Bay and out into Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi surrounded by alpine mountains. You can charter sightseeing and fishing boats and enjoy the beautiful shoreline or rent personal watercraft and enjoy the scenery at your leisure.

Your vacation would not be complete without a day trip through Glacier Park and its many historic lodges. As you travel over the Going to the Sun Highway and the breathtaking views of The Big Sky of Montana you may see mountain goats, moose, elk, grizzly and black bear, bighorn sheep, pristine high mountain lakes, many waterfalls and much more too numerous to mention. Your trip through Glacier Park and its majestic views will be one of the greatest memories you will ever have.

In the summer, enjoy all the watersports imaginable at Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48! Glacier National Park is also close by with the breathtaking Going-To-The-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and 70+day hikes! Make sure you take time to experience downtown Bigfork boasting shops, galleries, restaurants and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse. There are activities for everyone from hiking the Swan River Nature Trail, exploring the Jewel Basin Wilderness Area, fishing the many lakes & rivers or golfing at any of the exceptional courses, including Eagle Bend Golf Course.

    All good but lacking kitchen towels/dish towels and of course a wine bottle opener ?. Had to go buy one and lost my parking spot. Parking stinks as the whole town shares the same lot but if you sit in your car long enough one will open up. Overall great place outside of that.

    This is a beautiful property. Well stocked, clean and comfortable condo in an amazing setting. The river views are breathtaking and the convenience to the village of Bigfork is perfect. Love this place and hope to be back soon.

    Great place to stay. However the cancellation policy is very unreasonable and we will not be staying there again because of it. There are other properties in the same building that do not have a no cancellation policy.

    A couple of things: There was no designated parking spot for the condo. Of all the places we have rented, this was the only place that did not return damage deposit. It was beautiful to sit on the deck and listen to the water. Condo was very well stocked. Thank you.

    We had a little trouble checking in but we’re still able to contact someone at 11:00PM. The property was very well stocked. It was very clean except for a few of the kitchen cabinets and some dishes. It’s a perfect setting in downtown Big Fork with walking distance to a beautiful trail along the river. I would definitely stay here again.

    Enjoyed our stay walking distance to the town. Really enjoyed the back patio overlooking the river which was running at the time due to rains in the previous week. We saw two Shows at the playhouse that we really enjoyed. Only recommendation is for additional towels they only had 4 for 4 people for the 4 nights. Another set per person would be nice so not to have to worry with washing them ourselves.
