The home was a beautiful, comfortable and well equipped rustic home in the woods along side a river. Nice outside seating by the river and a nice fire pit. Easy access (10 minutes) to Big Fork and Flathead lake and a good base for a visit to Glacier National Park (45 minutes to west entrance). Host was very responsive and helpful. Would love to come back. ##### Lance F. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas S. 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet riverside home, conveniently located to Glacier Wonderful spot for getting away from everything and yet still having it all conveniently close. We enjoyed peaceful mornings listening to the river, then spent our days exploring Glacier, National Bison Range, and numerous hiking trails. It seemed like everything we wanted to do was within roughly a 1-hour drive of the house. In the evenings, we enjoyed quiet dinners at the house or drove in to Bigfork, which had a surprisingly robust number of great food options. The house is well appointed, comfortable and spacious. The wooded setting is perfect. And the location is super convenient to so many things. This place checks so many boxes for a Big Sky vacation home. We are already trying to figure out when we are coming back! ##### Thomas S.

We had an issue with the previously supplied door and WiFi codes being incorrect. We arrived on Labor Day and the person handling customer service on the holiday was obviously not a senior employee, but made a good effort. ##### Laurie P. Stayed 15 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad G. 19 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Swan River stay Top notch in all aspects. I would install a hot water circulation pump though. The two showers are accessed only through two bedrooms. The guest bath is only a half bath. ##### Brad G. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ---
