Natural Retreats in Whitefish, Montana

“Location and layout were great. Only drawback was road noise.”

“Nicely updated, older condo in a very natural outdoor environment. The kitchen was the best as far as cookware and utensils. Very clean! The Bed was comfortable although the bathrooms are a bit small. Overall good location, close to Whitefish Mountain Resort and only 10 minutes to downtown Whitefish. 45 minutes to West Glacier.”

“Beautiful location, very quiet and clean. The biggest issue is that three of the beds - in the bunkbed room are for children. This home sleeps only 6 adults if willing to share (one room has a full-size bed) and less if not willing to share a bed. The house instructions are sparse, and directions to the beach on the lake terrible. The kitchen had a confusing setup and was missing items like tin foil and plastic wrap. The property management company is often slow to respond, and completely inflexible about early check-ins. The outdoor area had several dead plans in planters and wasn't as well maintained as the house. The house interior is lovely, very clean, and extremely comfortable beds with nice linens (other than the bunk room) and many spots for lounging. Very peaceful and relaxing surroundings. Excellent place if the bunks are occupied by children, and you have only 5-6 adults.”

“Is it a good value? Not really but Whitefish is expensive. We loved the location and all the restaurants and shops. The bagel company next door is amazing but it sells out fast. Instead of going to the fine dining we hit the local/dive bars and breweries. We walked past the VFW bar several times and finally went in. It had amazing tacos. We loved the music at the 38 food truck area. Highly recommend renting a motor boat at Apgar Village in the Park. If you do the mountain gondola be prepared for a 20-30 degrees drop in temperature. The Bonsai brewery was great. Our only issue was the air conditioning was out. They put some temporary window units in but not the same. We enjoyed our patio so much that we didn't use the rooftop. Also the companies check in and out is not flexible for any reason. Extremely rigid on house rules. We will definitely stay here again. The house has lots of space, well appointed and comfortable.”

“It’s one thing not to have air conditioning but when there’s wildfire smoke at dangerous levels and it’s recommended to keep windows closed, it makes for a very uncomfortable vacation. When I asked about this situation, I was told the wildfire smoke is a very common occurrence and outside their control. Ok, I get it. You’re right. Do you think you may want to mention this if it’s a common occurrence? No air conditioning. ******Wildfire smoke is common in summer months and regularly reaches unhealthy levels. When this happens we recommend closing the windows. This results in the inside temperatures reaching the 90s.*******”
