The cabin was so beautiful and peaceful. We loved waking up to the pond view, seeing deer often, sipping coffee on the porch. Our family of 6 adults were super comfortable. The cabin and kitchen fully stocked, very clean. Communications with the host excellent. The location is close to Whitefish, Kalispell, and Glacier Natl. Park, with all the shopping you need. Going to Glacier NP was a lifetime experience for all of us, and coming home to this cabin from a long day of hiking was wonderful, cooking family dinners together. The cabin had corn hole we enjoyed, cooking on the grill outside, games, etc. It's a fantastic place to stay! You'll love it!!

We stayed with our family for my daughter’s wedding. The place was very well equipped, extremely clean, and very, very comfortable. It felt like home and LuAnn was an excellent host! Very responsive and kind. We loved sitting around the fire pit and my favorite place the front porch. With all the activity surrounding the wedding we appreciated the peaceful house to come
back to each day.

We had such a fun stay! The yard was beautiful and the whole family played ball in the yard til dark. We grilled out for dinner and had nice family breakfasts. We had everything we could possibly need and the location was perfect since it was close enough to the airport for the multiple trips we needed to make but only a few minutes from downtown Whitefish. Whitefish is such a lovely town with a beautiful lake and great restaurants and stores. So hope we get to return and would definitely stay here again.

The Black Bear Lodge was amazing. Close to everything. Immaculate. Everything about this place was perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

Sweet location for staying just north of Kalispell. We were a group of families in town for a soccer tournament. It was great to have a place to hangout that wasn’t in a restaurant or at the field. Plenty of beds, rooms, space to spread out. Big kitchen and living room with an additional TV room in the basement for the kids.
Our host was quick, friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again, thanks so much!

I have stayed at many VRBO properties and this one is the cleanest I have ever seen. Loved watching the doe with her fawns drink from the pond.
5.0
Black Bear Lodge provided a perfect home-base for our family trip to Glacier National Park. The setting was park-like with a green lawn and treed yard. It provided a great backdrop tor corn-hole tournaments and Wiffle ball games as well as quiet morning times on the front porch.
Our crew of 13 had comfortable sleeping arrangements, and the large gathering area of open kitchen and living/dining spaces was perfect for meals, visiting, and family games.
The house was very clean with plenty of extra bath linens and bed blankets. The in-house laundry area was an added plus with 7 grandchildren!
LuAnn was a knowledgeable and attentive host. Her response to questions and concerns was always quick and thorough. She made the rental process and property access easy. LuAnn worked hard with her cleaning crew to get us an earlier check-in when requested ahead of time. She provided valuable GNP information in our planning as well as stocking the house with current magazines, maps and local tourust information..
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a bouquet of fresh flowers and a tray of candy and assorted snacks-a superhost’s welcoming touch of hospitality!
The property’s location is very convenient to the Whitefish community, Glacier International Airport, Kalispell and Glacier National Park.
5.0
The stay was amazing. Before we arrived the communication was excellent. Traveling with kids we were a little worried but they made it easy with clear instructions, it was quick from entry to internet and leaving was a breeze as there were only a few wrap up expectations. They even provided instructions on park entry passes which kept us able to come and go through Glacier National. We had a fantastic time.
5.0
We stayed in White Fish /Columbia Falls area for two nights. The house was easy to find and well situated for our needs. We rafted with Glacier Guides and then back to house to ready for the Brash Rodeo in Columbia Falls. White Fish is a charming little town. Our group of 8 fit perfectly in the house -- everyone was comfortable. The rental is well furnished, very clean, comfortable and equipped. We felt at home. The location is situated in a resort type community off a busy road so the only downside is the frequent passing of large trucks using their jake breaks which are VERY loud. This is no fault of our gracious host, LuAnn. We enjoyed this stay very much.

The welcoming gift baskets placed on the table for our arrival left us in aww, the snacks in the refrigerator after a long day’s travel was a wonderful surprise, the Christmas tree beautifully decorated in the living room and the scenery around us made everything feel so magical. We made so many great memories!l on this vacation and we will definitely be back! This home had everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable and the communication that hosts provided made our stay even better.

Very cozy home with everything you need for a stay. Close enough to Whitefish and Kalispell to enjoy the restaurants and hiking. We brought our dogs and was a great place for them. The yard is beautiful. The owner was very quick to respond when needed so appreciative for the help. We would definitely stay again.

Great open area to play games, tell stories and catch up with family. My granddaughters and my mother were thrilled with the wild turkeys, deer, horses and other animals they got to see right from the house.. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the dishes/utensils we needed to cook/grill. It was a wonderful place for all to be together.

We had a family 80th birthday at the property. It was perfect. The house is immaculate and very well appointed. Very close to town. We enjoyed Glacier National Park, hiking out of Many Glacier, a fly fishing expedition, a pontoon rental out of Bigfork, and dinners out in Whitefish, as well as a night in cooking.

Everything was perfect!! Thank you!

We slept 8 adults very comfortably. The grounds are beautiful and seem remote, but Whitefish is only right down the road. LuAnn replies almost immediately to any questions or concerns. I hope I’m lucky enough to stay here again one day. Thanks for the memories.
5.0
Upon arrival everyone in our family group was thrilled with this property. The house was clean, well equipped with kitchen/cooking needs, satellite TV and plenty of towels etc. I can’t think of anything that I would’ve changed about our stay. However, I must emphasize above all of the greatness of the property the host/hostess was incredible to work with! We accidentally left behind a much desired souvenir and the host was kind enough to get it to us. LuAnn was absolutely a wonderful hostess and a huge plus for this vrbo. You won’t be disappointed if you choose to stay here.

Beautiful Property
This property is a slice of heaven, with an extraordinary host. My family loved it here, and we wanted for nothing.. Luann is amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed. She even went so far as to get us a delicious Huckleberry pie. Good luck finding this kind of Hospitality in California!
Thanks again!

Montana with the Family
The cabin was beautiful as well as the property. It was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and plenty of blankets, pillows, and towels. We had 11 of us and was plenty of room. The location was perfect between Kalispell, Whitefish, and 30 min. from the park. Only 15 min. from the Airport. I would recommend staying here to anyone who ask. Great Family Vacation!

Beautiful Location
I'm happy to say the property was just as advertised. We were extra happy seeing deer, fox, turkeys, ducks, and others just hanging out on the front lawn. My daughter said it made her feel like a Disney princess. ☺️. The property felt like home and was nicely kept up. The owner was diligent about responding to us and was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this property.

Great Experience!
Beautiful, clean, comfortable log home! LuAnn is an awesome host! Will stay again!

Great place, close to everything
Just to help the owner, we had a few things we wanted to say that could be added: salt and pepper shaker, more paper towels and toilet paper, especially for a place that sleeps that many people, and the grill was a little difficult to get all 3 burners going but we eventually figured it out. Other than that, a fantastic place to stay, great location, you basically get your own mini pond.
5.0
