    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!

    We rented the house for a few days to spend some vacation time with family and we brought some friends along for the trip! The house was perfect for our group of 10 people! Everything was absolutely wonderful! My husband even watched a bald eagle fly out of the river and eat the fish it had just caught! Absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

    Truly the best family stay ever. Stillwater River lodge is beautifully designed with luxury amenities around every corner. From the moment of booking, the hosts John and Jenn provided welcoming, clear, prompt, and always available communication. The information along with everything in and around this home is exceptional. Five star treatment with thoughtful touches that far exceeded our expectations. Double thumbs up from all members of our three generation family.
