The Perfect Serene Montana Get Away
How do you summarize the perfect vacation? Like this - It was the first vacation we ever went on where the entire family wept that it was over. After a long and arduous year, a Montana getaway for this East Coast family was much-needed therapy. The house was AWESOME. The appliances and decor were all first-class. The decks offered views of Lost Loon Lake and allowed my family and me to see Bald Eagles, deer, and turkeys. We made it a nightly event to watch the turkeys roost. The house was just minutes from Downtown Whitefish, allowing us to gather food and snacks, supplies, go to dinner, and pick up gifts and souvenirs. The 40-minute ride to Glacier NP offered us the ability to hike, kayak, and see wildlife (we saw a Grizzly on one of the days). The vacation was perfect! The house has all the amenities one would want. It has a bit of a quirky design in that you have to walk through a bathroom and closet to get to the master bedroom, but once you are there, you have total privacy. At first, I thought it was odd, but as I made the journey to my hidden bedroom each day, I began to think of it as a fabulous little retreat. My entire family had a blast. Depending on the time of year, there is a noticeable temperature difference between the first floor, which opens out to the backyard/lake, the first floor, and the top floor. The upstairs gets a little warmer, but the air conditioner and fans made it perfect - you have to take a moment to learn to adjust things to your liking. I highly recommend this house to anyone seeking a connection with nature, a chance to escape the world for a while, yet still enjoy the comforts of home. A 10 out of 10! You would never be disappointed renting this home.
