Come and experience a tranquil and unique getaway at this gorgeous riverfront home! Enjoy the serenity of your own 150+ feet of Swan River frontage while admiring the breathtakingly beautiful panoramic Swan Mountain views. This fantastic location allows you to be five miles away from the artisan village of Bigfork and Flathead Lake. Other must-visit attractions you can find nearby include Swan Lake, Glacier National Park, Whitefish Resort, Blacktail Ski Resort, Jewel Basin Hiking area, and the Bob Marshall Wilderness. For winter guests, the Bigfork Community Nordic Ski (and Snowshoe) trails are just five miles away.

This riverfront beauty boasts an extensive back deck where you can host summertime cookouts using the grill and dine alfresco with a gorgeous backdrop. From here, access the lush lawn that stretches right up the river - a private dock will be waiting for you, so don't hesitate to enjoy a refreshing dip in the river in the summer. Kayaking is allowed as well as fishing off the dock for northern pike and rainbow trout. Two kayaks and life jackets are provided! Some of the best fishing can be found along this section of the river. Challenge your friends and family to a game with frisbees, footballs, and other provided outdoor equipment.

Wintertime visitors can cozy up by the gas fireplace in the living room. This area has been furnished with the most comfortable sofas to provide you with a fantastic gathering spot - curl up with your favorite blanket and enjoy an entertaining conversation with your family and friends, or plan your next adventures. If you are in the mood to watch TV and catch up with your favorite series, the media room awaits. It features a cozy carpeted floor with a beautiful sectional, plenty of natural light, games and puzzles (dominoes, cribbage, Life, Bananagrams, Jenga), and a smart TV with streaming services. A designated laundry room with a washer/dryer and a full-size fridge is attached to this room.

When mealtime comes, put on the chef's apron and surprise your family and friends with delicious culinary masterpieces prepared in the splendid, fully-equipped kitchen. This kitchen is the perfect mix between modernity and rustic charm with stainless steel appliances and exquisite wooden accents and cabinets. Some of the appliances you can find here include a slow cooker, Dutch oven, turkey roasting pan with turkey rack, coffee grinder and coffee maker, and Ninja blender. The dark wood room has a height-adjustable desk with a view out on the river should you need to work or study remotely - this spot has been specifically created to offer a place away from everything so working guests can be productive and undisturbed while enjoying the view.

Peaceful relaxing retreat
Peaceful quiet neighborhood. Backyard was relaxing with Adirondack chairs and view of the river. There were kayaks available however we hiked in the beautiful Jewel basin area. Hike to Mt Aeseau was 35 minutes away. Super Clean, well stocked kitchen. Spacious home and so nice that our son could bring their dog. Would highly recommend!

Great home on Swan River
We booked this home for 4 nights to enjoy the area. The house was very clean and had everything we would need and more! The bin on the deck had a lot of yard games and even a corkscrew dog lead. We loved that our dog could stay with us and he enjoyed swimming off the dock. Swimming around the dock would've been a little gross for us but the dog didn't mind. The 3 fishing kayaks were a nice bonus and so was the grill. We docked 1 star because the entryway and hallway lights were so dark and dim it was spooky being in that part of the house at night. The bathrooms could use a remodeling but other than those nitpicky things we really enjoyed this house! We would come back again.

Beautiful home, Peaceful location, Super Clean!
Most important to us - this house is exceptionally clean. The setting is beautiful and the location is perfect with quick access to the Swan River, Flathead Lake, downtown Bigfork, County Line Coffee, Echo Lake Cafe, Burgertown, Harvest Foods, all the things you need on vacation. It was wonderful that they allowed pets, with a long leash out back our dog enjoyed running all over the yard. The beds are very comfortable, the mattresses are clearly new, the pillows and the bedding are new and clean, the area is private and quiet, the deck is very inviting with a nice new grill and it is so relaxing watching the wildlife around the river. there were mama and baby deer out and about every morning. The kitchen is well equipped and did I mention clean? The owner and management company was responsive, helpful and gracious. We look forward to our next visit! I have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals in Bigfork, this one is the best! Fantastic property. Fantastic host. Fantastic location. We look forward to our next visit!

Dreamy Montana Views From The Back Deck
We loved our week long vacation in this home on the Swan River. We came to Montana to gather with family and celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary and this home was a splurge. It was a wonderful homebase to host outdoor dinners, games, and spend time together. Practically, I can't think of anything this home lacked to make our time easy and enjoyable. Great WiFi, on-site laundry w/ provided soap, stocked kitchen items, two refrigerators so you could do one COSTCO trip, comfortable beds, forced heat and air (we were there during a heat wave and were comfortable), nice outdoor gas BBQ, kayaks, green grass, and a lazy river to swim in (what more could you want?). Like I said, the only week we could get the whole family together was the same week as a big music festival I guess, so this house and all the other vacations rentals in the Flathead Valley were surging. It's the most I've ever spent on a vacation rental and we've stayed throughout Europe, Mexico, and the U.S. To be honest, when I arrived, I expected the interior of the home to be completely updated for that price and it's not. But, if you remove the price surge, the interior is very nice, comfortable, well kept, and fits the river-house vibe. Once, we settled in, we loved the home.

Family time on the river
The location of this property is amazing. We loved every minute of our stay here. We kayaked and fished. Saw lots of deers, small otter/weasel and a turtle. We come to Montana every year and this was one of our favorite properties. Fully stocked with everything you’ll need.

Swan River Retreat vacay
Absolutely delightful! We had a wonderful stay! So peaceful comfy and cozy. Perfect location on the river. We relaxed and laughed the entire time. The home is equipped with every need and want. We kayaked daily and sat by the river and watched the ducks and turtles go about their daily chores. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven! We hope to be back soon!
