Tranquil Swan River Retreat with Dock, Kayaks & Mountain Views – Dog-Friendly
Wake to the quiet rhythm of the Swan River and end your days beneath Montana’s wide, open skies. This peaceful riverfront retreat offers over 150 feet of private frontage, with sweeping views of the Swan Mountains and a setting that invites you to slow down and settle in.
Just five miles from Bigfork and Flathead Lake, you’re perfectly positioned for both adventure and ease—within reach of Glacier National Park, Whitefish Resort, Jewel Basin, Swan Lake, and the Bob Marshall Wilderness. In winter, nearby Nordic ski and snowshoe trails offer a different kind of magic.
Long summer days unfold naturally here. Sip your morning coffee on the expansive back deck, spend afternoons kayaking from your private dock (three provided), or float, fish, and swim right from your own stretch of river. The wide grassy lawn is perfect for unhurried play, with yard games ready for easy evenings outdoors.
Inside, the home feels warm and welcoming, with spaces designed for both connection and quiet. Gather by the gas fireplace in the living room, or unwind in the media room with its oversized sectional, games, and smart TV. The kitchen blends rustic charm with modern convenience, fully equipped for everything from slow mornings to shared meals.
For those mixing work and escape, a dedicated office with river views offers a calm, inspiring place to focus.
Thoughtful touches throughout—including Starlink high-speed internet, a whole-home generator, and amenities for your pup—make your stay comfortable in every season.
Please note: this is a newly listed property for the upcoming 2026 summer season, which is why you won’t see any reviews just yet. Everything is thoughtfully prepared to ensure a comfortable, seamless stay—we’re excited to welcome our very first guests!

We loved every moment of our stay! It was the perfect location for myself and my bridesmaids to get ready for my wedding! Great views, right on the river. Super spacious and all of the amenities you need to enjoy your stay! Our stay definitely added to the perfect wedding weekend! We are locals and would for sure stay here again!!
The location of this property is amazing. We loved every minute of our stay here. We kayaked and fished. Saw lots of deers, small otter/weasel and a turtle. We come to Montana every year and this was one of our favorite properties. Fully stocked with everything you’ll need.
Absolutely delightful! We had a wonderful stay! So peaceful comfy and cozy. Perfect location on the river. We relaxed and laughed the entire time. The home is equipped with every need and want. We kayaked daily and sat by the river and watched the ducks and turtles go about their daily chores. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven! We hope to be back soon!
Peaceful quiet neighborhood. Backyard was relaxing with Adirondack chairs and view of the river. There were kayaks available however we hiked in the beautiful Jewel basin area. Hike to Mt Aeseau was 35 minutes away. Super Clean, well stocked kitchen. Spacious home and so nice that our son could bring their dog. Would highly recommend!
