Breathing cabin
I can’t say enough about this cabin. I felt at home. The cabin was fully stocked and very clean. It was secluded in what I would call hidden valley. The pond in the backyard was the highlight of the trip for the kids. The location was perfect . We can’t waif to com back next year.

Winter Getaway
Winter wonderland! The cabin is gorgeous and had a great sledding hill, which was enjoyed by the 3 and 4 year olds and adults alike! We also really enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and looking out at the frozen pond.

Perfect family cabin
There was 4 adults and 3 children, ages 1,3 and 6. The cabin is really nice and the pond was great. The kids really enjoyed swimming. It seems that they really planned everything here for the perfect vacation for a family. We will be back for sure.

Fun for the whole family
My family came together for my nieces high school graduation and we had more than enough room to sleep, the washer and dryer came in handy with having kids. The family enjoyed the pond with the kayaks and hot tub the whole weekend. We made use of the fire pit and it was a fun family gathering spot. Carl came down to meet us with his dog Rocky and was very friendly and pleasant to talk to. We will definitely book here again, already planning our next trip.

Great location everything you need and more
My mom and dad came up from Livingston and I hadn’t seen them since last October. My mom brought her little dog and I brought my dogs over to visit . The property was beautiful and included everything and more to accommodate dogs to adults . We had a lovely time but I think the dogs had the most fun swimming in the pond for hours. The owners are very friendly and very accommodating. Thank you very much

Remote feeling cabin
We absolutely loved staying in this cabin. Remote feeling yet close to town. Carl and Joy are great people. The humans and the dogs loved staying here. We will be back for sure as this has been pur number one spot we have stayed at. Only suggestion add a pizza pan and tin foil to the kitchen supply list. And yes be sure you have four wheel drive or a suv to get up the hill. Loved our time here and in Montana.

So Peasceful but close!
We had a wonderful stay, the cabin was everything that we expected. The rooms were plenty, there were plenty of towels! The kitchen area was so great and open for everything. The only things we would recommend is getting smart TV's in the rooms and possibly a dresser in each of the main rooms, we had our stuff laying everywhere in suitcases. We will be happy to return!!

Beautiful cabin close to everything
We made our reservation at the last minute, and so didn't have too many options (especially as we were bringing our dog), but honestly feel that we got incredibly lucky by being able to stay in this cabin, which all started with a wonderful welcome gift from Joy and Carl. The cabin is much larger than it appears, with four good bedrooms, and lots of space looking out over the large windows. Kitchen was well stocked, there was a great hot-tub on the deck, and there were plenty of places to walk our dog around (some easy trails that wind around Whitefish Hills). The cabin was nicely located, just off US93, about 10 minutes south of Whitefish, which made it easy to get most places. This will be the first place that we'll check if we ever need to visit the Whitefish area again!

Fun for the whole family!
Only complaint was that wifi went out 2 days into our 4 day stay and didn't get fixed. Cell service at the property is little to none and lost all my extended network data from my Alaska cell carrier. This made it hard to connect with other family members in the area. Besides that, the owners take pride in the property and are more than accommodating. Wish we could've stayed longer and would love to stay again during winter sometime.

Very nice property
The cabin was nice and clean. It is close enough to whitefish and Kalispell to make for easy drives to both, but far enough away from town to feel remote. Saw deer out the front and back doors several mornings.

Favorite rental ever
I stayed here with a few friends to celebrate my birthday and it was the best rental I’ve ever stayed in. We planned our days so that we could hike and visit Glacier but still have most of the day to hang at the cabin. The backyard is extremely beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. We enjoyed a very clean hot tub and wonderful outdoor propane fire. We cooked dinner in the cabin and read our books with the fireplace on. I had the best nights of sleep I’ve had in a long time. Bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and body wash and you’ll be good to go. I will absolutely be planning another Whitefish trip so I can stay at the cabin. Thank you Carl and Joy for everything!! 10/10

Great place!
We all enjoyed the cabin very much. The cabin was very clean and in a secluded area. Though the water was a little too cold having the pond in the back was great. Carl was very friendly and easy to deal with. Would love to stay here again sometime.

The Best Home for My Perfect Day!
We reserved this home for myself and my bridesmaids the night before I got married, and it was where my husband and I came after the wedding, and it was PERFECT! Carl was so nice and responsive, it was really a pleasure staying somewhere so close to my own home- I felt like I was really on vacation!

The Cabin
Wonderful experience. Teens loved the swimming hole. Wasps were bad so we ate inside. Previous guest dog left a present in the yard so we cleaned it up. Beds were hard but comfy. Coffee was amazing! Delightful experience. Wish we could have stayed longer.

It's even better than the photos! This is the cleanest place i have ever stayed in my life. We had an exceptional time and will be back again. The property and location is PERFECT. We saw deer, turkeys, and a bear. They are so kind and made us feel so welcome. We couldn't ask for anything better! I'm from kalispell and would book here again even without friends visiting

Enchanted Stay
Extended family gathered for a ling weekend. Great secluded location yet close to Whitefish, Kalispell, GNP and airport. The pond, patio, porch, SUPs and kayaks offered so many options for activities and gathering. Returning to the cabin every afternoon was such a nice treat. The kitchen/dining/living apace allowed us all to cook while spending time together. The modern kitchen had everything we needed. Beds, linens, and AC were super comfortable. We met Carl once when we arrived which was a huge help, but the primary home is located up the hill, allowing the cabin and pond to feel very private. Great stay. Would live to come again.
