Our privately owned home is centrally located in the valley, providing a quiet, secluded environment off of a country road with comfortable ranch-style accommodations. Equipped with all the conveniences of home, enjoy wildlife, sunsets, and views from the covered front porch or large fenced back yard. We are close to the airport, (15 mins) Glacier National Park, (20 mins), Whitefish Mountain Resort (35 mins), Bigfork/Flathead Lake (25 mins).
The space itself is an open floor plan, with bedrooms on opposite sides of the house. The master bedroom (Tempur-Pedic queen bed) has a large walk-in closet and bathroom with a walk-in shower and jacuzzi bathtub. The second bathroom is close to the guest bedroom (queen bed), with a walk-in shower. The living area, dining area, and kitchen are open in the center of the house. The kitchen is stocked with pretty much everything you'll need (and if you don't find it there, let me know and I'll bring it over). There is another room in the back of the house with a futon, washer/dryer, kid toys and games (pack n play and blowup mattress).
The house sits on 1.25 acres. The country road to get to our house is about 0.25 miles and flat. There is plenty of room for parking. We have a big back yard that is fenced for your furry friends where you'll find a fire pit, picnic table, and gas grill. The front covered porch is a great place to sit and take in the views of the Whitefish Range and Resort. We live close by on a few acres, that you can see from the house. We are an active family who takes advantage of everything Northwest Montana has to offer and are happy to share our knowledge, but also respect your privacy. If you'd like tips on things to do let me know, otherwise we will stay out of your way.
As far as distances/times to places of interest, it is about four miles to Columbia Falls downtown. You'll find great restaurants, a brewery, grocery stores, liquor store, post office, library, and some really cool coffee shops.
