Thank you, Lee! We both agreed we would definitely stay again next time we are in the area. Lee was very accommodating and the bed was super comfy. It was such a peaceful place to stay.

The location is awesome! There could be some improvements made to the property to make it a bit more enjoyable for a longer stay. Fixing a few things like the door, window and tub would go a long way. Also consider A/C or window fans as it was quite warm for sleeping even with all the windows open. A few additional amenities like kitchen towels would be helpful as well as a larger trash can again for longer stays.

Enjoyed the quiet countryside. Had to walk upstairs over the garage. No problem. A wad of hair/lint rolled out from under the bed, but, otherwise the room was clean.

Gracious Host Spectacular property

The property was absolutely beautiful and convenient to Bigfork and West Glacier. I didn't read the description close enough - no air and only a ceiling fan. Only one window had a screen. Could use a few more towels and some basics like utensils and paper towel. Beds comfortable!

Met our needs

Off beaten path which was perfect for first night traveling Montana smallish towns. Mostly just spent the overnight there - beds and shower were good. Only drawback was couldn’t figure out how to lock door. Could’ve called Lee but weren’t that worried about it.

Glacier trip

Nice little bonus room above the garage. No air conditioning and the room was really hot at checkin. Would recommend a box fan to pull cool air from outside. Is an 45 minute drive from Glacier park. There was no way for me to secure the room from the outside since we were not issued a key so that was odd.but the room was great and had a beautiful view

Pleasant experience

Spacious area above 3-bay garage that includes beds, kitchen, and sitting area, and a separate bathroom. The owner was pleasant and quickly responded to our requests. (Exception: I left several voices messages that were never returned. Found out after arriving that he prefers texting.) Check-in process wasn’t well communicated (which is why I had left several messages, but all that’s needed is to just show up after 4. One last thing: if you’re accustomed to A/C, there isn’t any. The ceiling fan and open windows was adequate when we were there. We would book again if visiting the area.

Nice place to stay in Big Fork

Entire upstairs suite over garage is yours. Great feel on a very large property. About a quarter mile off the road and nice and private. Well worth a stay when you're near Flathead Lake. A couple of miles from Big Fork's small and quaint downtown which is on the lake.
