Stillwater River Lodge Mtn Modern Waterfront Home near Glacier National Park

The home was perfectly located and equipped for our family of 13, ages 1-74! This home is spacious and easy to gather in multiple places. Every need you have was well met. The beauty of the design fit the views of multiple mountain ranges. It was perfect! We hope to return again soon.

We stayed at Stillwater River Lodge in February 2026 with a group of 12 (family and friends) and it exceeded every expectation! This stunning 6-bedroom waterfront home feels brand new and impeccably designed in that sleek mountain modern style—clean lines, high-end finishes, huge windows letting in tons of natural light (and epic snowy mountain views). The space was ideal for our large group: plenty of room to spread out, multiple living areas, a fully equipped kitchen that made cooking meals easy (and the island is perfect for gathering), and 5 bathrooms meant no waiting around in the mornings. The hot tub was an absolute highlight—nothing beats soaking under the stars with snow falling and the river nearby after a day exploring nearby trails or heading toward Glacier National Park (which was surprisingly accessible even in winter conditions). Everything was spotless upon arrival, the WiFi was strong, and little touches like the comfortable beds/linens and pet-friendly policy (we brought our dog) made it feel like home. The location in Flathead Valley is convenient—quick drive to amenities in Kalispell, and not too far from Whitefish for skiing or other winter fun. If you're looking for a luxurious, spacious Montana escape that combines modern comfort with that classic mountain lodge vibe, this place is it. We can't wait to come back—highly recommend! 5 stars all the way.

We spent an unforgettable January week at Stillwater River Lodge, and it was pure Montana magic in the winter! This stunning mountain-modern waterfront home was the perfect cozy retreat during the cold months—spacious, impeccably clean, and loaded with everything we needed to stay warm and relaxed after our snowy adventures. The house is massive (6 bedrooms/5 baths, slept our group of 12 comfortably) with huge windows framing breathtaking views of the snow-covered Stillwater River and surrounding mountains right from the living room. We loved curling up by the fire (or just enjoying the toasty indoor heat) while watching snow fall gently outside—it felt like a luxury cabin straight out of a dream. The gourmet kitchen was fully stocked and made whipping up hearty winter meals easy, and the beds/linens were plush and warm. Highlights for winter: The private hot tub was absolute heaven after chilly days out—steaming under the stars with snow all around us was unbeatable! The outdoor fire pit (bundled up with blankets) became our evening ritual for hot cocoa and stargazing. Everything stayed comfortable and inviting indoors, no matter how cold it got outside. Location was ideal for January fun: Just a short drive to Whitefish Mountain Resort for incredible skiing/snowboarding, easy access to groomed trails for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, and even some peaceful winter walks along the river or nearby spots. Glacier National Park's lower elevations offered gorgeous snowy scenery (we did some easy snowshoeing near the edges), and the whole area felt peaceful with far fewer crowds than summer. The hosts were exceptional—super responsive, helpful with local winter tips, and clearly Premier Hosts for a reason. Everything was seamless from check-in to check-out. If you're dreaming of a luxurious, winter Montana escape with cozy vibes, epic views, and adventure right nearby, book this gem—you'll leave planning your next snowy trip back. Absolutely 5 stars and then some! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had an unforgettable family reunion at Stillwater River Lodge, and it exceeded every expectation for our group of 16 spanning three generations! From the moment we arrived, the stunning architecture and spacious layout made it feel like a true luxury retreat—perfect for gathering in the open-concept living areas, cooking up feasts in the fully stocked dream kitchen (complete with that amazing coffee machine and milkshake maker that were huge hits with the kids), and relaxing on the patio with breathtaking views of the river, wildlife like deer and eagles, and those epic Montana sunsets. The location couldn't be better: centrally situated for day trips to Glacier National Park, Whitefish, and Flathead Lake, with easy access to the airport, Costco, and even local spots for outdoor adventures. We loved how thoughtful touches like the multiple washers/dryers, boot dryers in the mudroom, and abundant hooks/racks made organizing our ski gear and layers a breeze—plenty of storage options throughout, and we never felt cluttered despite the winter packing. Hot water was endless for our group, even with everyone showering after hikes, and the private bathrooms in each suite added that extra level of comfort. The family photos around the house actually gave it a warm, personal vibe that made us feel right at home, like we were staying with friends rather than in a sterile rental. Communication with the hosts was top-notch, prompt, and welcoming from booking to checkout. If you're looking for a beautiful, well-cared-for spot for a large group vacation, this is it—five stars all around, and we'd book again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely book again. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described in the listing. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed—and more. Our family of 15 had an amazing time making pizzas in the pizza oven, cooking together, playing games, and celebrating the New Year. The location was perfect—quiet, yet close to ski lifts, restaurants, and shops. The host was extremely responsive and made check-in seamless. We highly recommend this home for anyone visiting the area in both winter and summer. I can’t say enough great things about this place—it’s truly wonderful!

This property was absolutely perfect for our retreat. The home and surrounding area were stunning, creating a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked—not just with every gadget we needed, but with a few fun extras that made cooking and gathering together even more enjoyable. The cedar hot tub was a wonderful respite and quickly became a favorite place to relax and recharge. Every room was thoughtfully and beautifully decorated, making each guest feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. We are so grateful for the attention to detail and hospitality—this home truly made our retreat special.

Beautiful Home, But Important Practical Gaps for Family vacationers We stayed here as a large family group in the winter, and the home itself is beautiful, spacious, and clearly well cared for. The layout is wonderful for gathering, and it’s clear the owners have put a lot of love into the property.That said, given the premium price point and that this is marketed as a large family ski home, there were some practical issues that significantly impacted our stay and would be important for future renters to know.Most notably, there were no usable closets, dressers, or wardrobes in any bedroom. Every closet in the home was locked as an owner’s closet, including in the primary bedroom, and there were no dressers provided. In winter, when everyone has ski gear, heavy clothing, boots, and layers, this made it very difficult to settle in and live comfortably for the week. The rooms are generously sized and could easily accommodate dressers or standing wardrobes, which would make a huge difference.Additionally, the water heater appeared undersized for a home sleeping 12. We frequently ran out of hot water, which meant cold showers in the middle of winter, and the beautiful soaking tubs were essentially unusable. For a large group home at this level, reliable hot water is essential.A few smaller but notable items:•No garbage disposal in the kitchen•Very large family photos displayed prominently throughout the home, which felt a bit unusual when renting the property at t

Stillwater River Lodge was the perfect location for our family & friends to witness our son marry his best friend! The home was ideal for many couples to stay-with private bathrooms and a separate suite for the bride & groom! The lodge location was ideal for exploring the area as well as access to Glacier and the airport. Great communication with the host and we hope to be able to visit again.

Loved the coffee machine!!! We appreciated the chocolate chip cookies and goodies. The kitchen is a cook’s dream with space and tons of dishes and cooking utensils. We used the bbq which was great. The house cozy, comfortable and our family of 12 had lots of space to enjoy. Mornings and sunsets on the patio were picturesque and peaceful.

Home is architecturallybeautiful. Offers plenty of room for Family of 11 or more from 4 months old to Senior Citizen with no curb showers, first floor ranch, open concept floor plan design and three sets of washer and drier! Sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking. Logistically located to so many outdoor activities, fitness center, grocery and general merchandise needs, Glacier National Airport and various religious institutions for worship. Our Family has traveled all over the world and overall our Family rated this vacation as one of the very best ever especially having The Road to The Sun in Glacier National Park as a top destination for all to see a stunning mountain landscape, waterfalls, Grizzly Bear, Mountain Goats and babies, Rams and a Bald Eagle all in one day! Logan Pass Trail was an unforgettable lifetime memory.

There is nothing to say but the place is fantastic. It had everything you could think of, including coffee, coolers, backpacks, games (indoor and outdoor). We had a group of 14 adults and 4 children and we felt like we had plenty of room. Also, John and Jenn were very quick with communication. I would highly recommend this home. You definitely get what you pay for.

The home was beautiful and very comfortable. The check in process was very easy. Truly, I don’t really think there are enough words to describe the amazing experience we had at Stillwater River Lodge. We will most definitely be staying there again!
