Nestled between tall evergreens and situated against the Swan Mountain Range of the Northern Rockies, sits this lovely craftsman style “Retreat Center.” This unique Arts and Crafts style structure accommodates families or couples on destination vacations, family reunions, unique experiences, and/or 4 day retreats.

We invite people to retreat from their every day lives into the wilderness and forested sanctuary we have created at the foot of the Swan Mountain Range. We encourage our guests to unplug from their urban lives so that they might reconnect with their best selves, their loved ones and their source of inspiration. Our natural sanctuary is ideal for reflection and introspection and to reset intentions for answering your soul’s calling. We're especially interested in providing a peaceful and inspirational space for those pursuing creative projects and a desire to connect with the natural world and to one another.

This Retreat Center provides three spacious private bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, an entry foyer, and a very large great room. Originally built as a yoga room, the great room boasts wood floors, a stone fireplace, and beautiful craftsman style windows with huge views of alpine glowing mountains. Guests will also enjoy a fully equipped gourmet kitchen. Two full bathrooms include showers and a two person size sunken tub in the master bath. There is a laundry room with a sink, counter, washer and dryer attached to the smallest bedroom. From the great room and master bedroom, there is access to a large covered patio to enjoy outside dining with incredible panoramic views of the mountains. Beyond the porch is a large lawn and pathway to our waterfall studded pond. Wireless Internet service (the fastest in our area via a dedicated transmitter tower) and online streamed Netflix movies are also available to guests on two large flat screened television sets (1 in master bedroom and 1 in great room).

On the same property, a few steps away, there is an additional guest house we call the Treehouse (see VRBO listing #470944) that accommodates up to 2 adults and 2 children.

Directly behind the property, guests will find immediate access to mountain trails they may access with a State Land day use permit. And just a minutes drive away there is access to rafting put-ins along the Swan River. Guests are also invited to share the beautiful surrounding grounds, a lovely waterfall studded pond, tree swings, hammocks, and mountain bike trails. Our eleven year old son is a wonderful little host and loves to show visiting children all the cool things this property has to offer, especially hunting for Morels in May. To avoid any conflict with our guardian and companion dogs, and to avoid predation by wildlife, we do not allow dogs or other pets onto our property.

    We had a wonderful stay at Swan Lake Retreat Center near Bigfork, MT. The home is beautiful and tucked away in a peaceful wooded setting, yet still just a short drive to Flathead Lake, Glacier National Park, Whitefish, and other great attractions. Our family of six had plenty of space and loved the quiet surroundings after busy days exploring. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing Montana getaway.

    We loved the great room. We played games and watched movies. The cabin is well stocked. We saw deer most every day. The cabin is pretty secluded, and it was quiet. We floated the river pretty much every day. the master bedroom is nice and big. Bigfork was a great place for getting groceries, Etc. I would stay here again. The hosts were always quick to respond.

    This property was AMAZING!! It was nice to spend the day in Glacier NP (45 min away) and come back in the evening to retreat into the wilderness!! The space is HUGE and can accomodate quite a few people! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook complete meals! The beds are very comfortable and the space fit our family of 6 with ample room! The back porch was an amazing retreat at night to have a drink or in the mornings to have coffee! Lisa was VERY quick to respond and great to work with!! while there is no air conditioning, we didn't notice at all! The windows stayed open all day/night and the shade of the trees kept the house cool enough! The sprinkler system did come on at 0400 and we only noticed since the windows were open. We will DEFINITLY be back again and highly recommend this to anyone looking!!

    Our family had a great time staying at the Wild Swan Retreat. It was a great base for our exploring around the entire area and was a restful place to return each evening. The rooms and main living space were very spacious and we enjoyed using the back porch. When we encountered a hornets nest in the grill, the owners promptly bought a replaced the grill the same day! And they repeatedly checked in to make sure we were comfortable and not disrupted by it. Owners were great communicators and were very flexible to accommodate our requests. We’re thankful to have found it!

    This gorgeous property is in a quiet, wooded area 12-13 minutes away from Bigfork. The amenities are perfect and you can find peaceful areas around the house and property to get away and read or just enjoy the scenery. Like Lisa, our host, mentioned it is a bit confusing to find the house but after a couple trips it’s a breeze. The main picture listed is a bit different than the actual property because it is grown up with wild grass and shrubs, at least when we stayed in June. I loved it but my husband likes the mowed down look. When we arrived I sat on the back porch and noticed a few mosquitoes (I ‘m a magnet for them) and Lisa brought down a system to put beside the house and I saw no more our entire stay! This place is stunning, clean and peaceful…just what you want when visiting Montana!
