Summary: Wonderful location nestled against the Swan River. Perfect for our group of five long-time friends. Excellent communication, list of things to do, check-in and check-out process. Only complaint was the buried additional charges re taxes, cleaning fees and what we felt was an exorbitant VRBO booking charge. Would urge a bit more transparency on this. The house itself was outstanding!

Summary: We loved staying on the river and being able to walk straight into it off the back porch. We were able to fish and swim whenever we felt like. We floated the river to the house which was fun! Great food near by and within an hour or less of Whitefish and Glacier. But who needs that when you have delicious food and great hiking (Jewel Basin) and a river in your back yard. The house was very comfortable and the spent most our time on the back porch. Loved this place!

Summary: We loved the house and the location on the river. We had 9 adults and it is usually hard to find homes with lots of king beds and in room baths, so that was a bonus. The gas line to the outdoor grill was great too - not having to deal with propane tanks. Our only minor suggestion is that they get a few more large pots and platters. We love to cook and for our large group, we had to improvise to have enough pots. We would go back in a heartbeat!!! We bought river tubes online and went tubing for a short 45 minutes almost daily then left the tubes with a family friend who lives nearby.
