Bigfork, Montana
Our guest house offers all the comforts of home in a picturesque wooded setting. Located on 2 acres, this guest quarters away from the main house was designed for relaxation and escape. Approximately 200 feet from the river, open the windows and hear the sounds of the rapids. While the guest house, doesn't have a river view, you can still enjoy sitting by the water watching osprey, eagles and geese soar overhead. Our property has 185 feet of private river frontage to enjoy. Wildlife is abundant. You can fish from the bank for rainbow or cut throat trout or jump into a kayak, raft or tube and float down the river. The guest house is well-appointed with granite countertops, wood accents and homey decor. The kitchen is fully stocked with all utensils, pots, pans, bakeware and dishes necessary to make cooking and dining easy. You will sleep soundly listening to the river in the cozy bedroom on a pillow top queen-sized mattress. In the living room a comfortable queen-sized sofa bed is ready for enjoyment. The guest house has a small desk and chair ideal for use as a work station.
Fall is a great time to kick back and enjoy the beauty of the Larch trees with their changing needle colors. Eagles fly along the river hunting for food. In late October hunting season begins. The area is abundant for whitetail deer, grouse and wild turkeys.

Amazing experience! Beautifully appointed guest cabin. High end finishes with lots of room to spread out. Loved having a full kitchen to use over our stay. The owners were wonderful! Friendly and accommodating! Beautiful river views and easy access to area parks…especially Glacier! Highly recommend!
Vicki and Barry are such a delight and so very accommodating! They gave many suggestions for things to do and places to go around the area. Vicki also baked the most amazing fudge bars and shared them with us. The river is absolutely gorgeous and Zoey is the sweetest thing, she deserves all of the pets ☺️
Our stay was absolutely perfect. Barry and Vixki have thought of everything to make our stay fabulous. The house is clean and the neighborhood quiet. Just what we needed. We can not wait to visit again.
This property is a hidden gem tucked away in Bigfork. The location provides an excellent escape in the woods with the Swan river within a short walk including two chairs overlooking the river for a nice morning or evening view. The cottage is equipped with everything you need including fresh coffee, a comfortable living room to relax after a day on the lake and even a washer and dryer! The owners (Vicki and Barry) are close by to assist with recommendations for dinner and any help for things to do in this beautiful area. I can’t say enough on how welcoming they both are and made us feel immediately comfortable like visiting old friends. Of course we fell in love with the resident golden retriever-Zooey. Beautiful, friendly and always ready to have you throw something for her! We have stayed at many homes and this is exceptional with caring owners willing to share their special place!
We loved our time at this place! We spent a good bit of our time at Glacier. Being on the river was wonderful. Would absolutely stay here again!
We enjoyed our 4 night stay. The guest house is lovely. We had all the amenities we needed and more. My husband loved sitting down by the river. Barry and Vicki were welcoming and great with communication.
Barry and Vicky are great hosts. The cabin has everything. Looks brand new! Great location into Big Fork. Peaceful setting. The grounds are immaculate. Cabin fully furnished. River is right behind the main house. Zoe, their dog, is a plus. Beautiful, friendly girl. Cannot say enough about the joys of staying here. A+ for everything
We had a fantastic stay at Vicki and Barry's guest house on Drifting Way! The property is amazing and our hosts were so welcoming. Everything was clean and comfy and there are a ton of things to do in the area. The morning pets with their pup Zoey were extra special too! We hope to be able to return someday! Thank you for wonderful experience :)
First off Vicki and Barry are amazing, and they made our stay so much more enjoyable. They let us borrow fishing poles, offered to drive us up the road and drop us off to float the river using their equipment, and brought my wife handpicked wildflowers from their garden! On top of that they have the nicest/friendliest dog (Zo-Zo) who reminded us of our Golden back home. The cabin is exactly what you see in the photos, it’s the perfect size for a couple. No problems with the AC, hot water, or wifi. Cabin comes with a toaster oven, blender, coffee pot, washer/dryer, and everything else that you could ask for. Overall this place is great, and if we could we’d give it 10 stars!
We had a wonderful getaway on this Swan River property. The area was beautiful, hosts are very friendly, the guesthouse was clean and comfortable. We couldn’t find anything to complain about if we tried. (*Except that our week away went by way too fast.). Thank you, Barry and Vicki, for letting us stay on your little piece of heaven.
Husband enjoyed being by river to fish.
