Brown Bear Chalet, Luxury Ski-In/Ski-Out Across from Whitefish Resort; Hot Tub

Who's ready to go skiing?! The Brown Bear Chalet is the perfect spot for your next ski vacation.

The Brown Bear Chalet comfortably accommodates up to 15 guests with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, and that's just the beginning. The home features two spacious living areas, both fantastic for gathering with one stocked with games to add to your fun! Both living rooms also feature comfy couches and flat-panel Smart TVs. The main level houses a half bath and two queen bedrooms that share a joined full bath with a walk-in shower. The generous kitchen has plenty of room for multiple cooks in the kitchen, the bartender in your group can man the wet bar, the two-sided fireplace adjoining the living and dining rooms keeps the whole area nice and cozy, the dining table and kitchen island allow for seating for 12. The large dining table can also double a game table if your group decides on a game night. The kitchen is fully stocked with a gas stove, microwave, large refrigerator, cookware, utensils, and a drip coffee pot.

The bedrooms are nothing short of amazing. Brown Bear Chalet features two master suites. The main master suite, known as the Fireplace Master Suite, is located on the second floor in the main portion of the home and houses a king bed, ample floor space, fireplace, and large master bath with double vanity, jetted tub, and a full washer/dryer tucked inside a closet. The Castaway Suite is a secluded master suite located above the garage and hosts a king bed, views of the mountain, and a full bath.

At Brown Bear Chalet, the kids have their own space. Located in the basement, the Bunkroom sleeps seven with room to spare. A sliding glass door steps out onto a seasonal (summer only) patio to enjoy some fresh air. A full bathroom and full washer/dryer are also in the basement so they can just leave all their smelly clothes in the basement, thereby keeping the main level blissfully clean during your stay. The Gameroom happens to be conveniently located in the Bunkroom. Kids (and adult kids!) can enjoy a foosball table, smartTV with DVD and a few family-friendly movies, board games, puzzles, Nintendo Wii with several games, and indoor basketball.

Additional amenities include an outdoor grill with propane included and a large six-person hot tub and spacious deck overlooking the slopes. The home is perfectly situated to provide amazing views as well as give you access to the Elk Highlands Lift*. You're also just a two-minute drive to the Base Lodge, the five-star Cafe Kandahar restaurant, and also the Ski Village where you'll find a small market, ski rentals, and resort restaurants like The Bierstube and Ed & Mully's.

Awesome house, great location
Stayed at this property for a trip with 12 people and it was perfect. Spacious enough to fit all 12 people comfortably with amenities for everyone to enjoy. Location is also very close to everything including Glacier National Park, Whitefish Lake, and not too far from the airport.

Summer Vacay
Very nice, well maintained mountain home as described in the listing details. Hits: enough space for our group of 13, huckleberry bushes in the yard, hot tub, a/c units in the main floor living room and both upstairs bedrooms, easy check-in and checkout. Misses: upstairs bedrooms need more window coverings. There is less than 7hrs of full darkness in peak summer. Downstairs sliding door needs new blinds.

A great family retreat
3 families came together for a weekend together! We cooked, we relaxed and we explored the area. The house layout and size was perfect for our needs and located appropriately to spend time at the mountain and in town. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and hot tub was warm. We couldn't ask for much more.

Brown Bear Chalet
Came into town for the Under the Big Sky concert. The property was a great! We had 14 adults and there was plenty of space for everyone! The location of the property was perfect. We were able to catch the mountain shuttle down to the venue which was very convenient and within walking distance from the property. Will definitely be rebooking.
