This stretch of the river where wildlife abound is famous for tube floating, fly fishing and seasonal kayaking. Common wildlife sightings include eagles, osprey, waterfowl, foxes, deer and occasionally moose and bear. Listen to the sound of the river rushing past the home as you lounge on the deck soaking in an amazing setting.

Whitefish Mountain Resort was recently ranked #3 in the West by Ski Magazine readers! Visitors to the area can also enjoy ice fishing on Flathead Lake, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in Glacier National Park, and snowmobiling with one of the local outfitters.

    We all had an amazing experience staying at this property with its breathtaking views and amazing property. It was perfect for our family group aged 7 - 70. Lots of indoor and outdoor space to spread out and enjoy everything Montana has to offer.

    Amazing spot on the swan river. Hours spent fishing, exploring and tubing down the river. The house was great - very comfortable and convenient location.

    Absolutely gorgeous spot. The back porch and yard was used extensively to take in the sights and sounds of the river and mountainous backdrop. The house and rooms are as described.

    This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. The setting was amazing and each room was big and comfortable. We have a large family and we were well accomodated. It was a blast. Charles

    Wonderful location nestled against the Swan River. Perfect for our group of five long-time friends. Excellent communication, list of things to do, check-in and check-out process. Only complaint was the buried additional charges re taxes, cleaning fees and what we felt was an exorbitant VRBO booking charge. Would urge a bit more transparency on this. The house itself was outstanding!

    Lovely location on the swan river, house needs lots of Maintanence and is very basic.. has a hot tub but guests NOT allowed to use it!! WS only 61 degrees upon arrival and took a full 24 hours for house to warm up to 72. Ice maker broken, tvs we’re next to worthless with no cable connections…. Was not worth the price for what we got.
