Our family of 6 really enjoyed our stay at the Spencer Mountain cabin! We were only a short drive into Whitefish area and not too far from Glacier NP. Our family loved the corn hole game and ping pong! The kitchen was well equipped for making our own meals, along with the charcoal grill outside. Plenty of sleeping space and places to chill and hang out! We would love to stay here again if we make it back to Montana! Shea was a great host and answered questions and gave great suggestions on the area!

We had an incredible experience both at the cabin and in the area. Shae was super to work with and the cabin was exactly as pictured. We saw deer in the mornings and loved listening to the wind chimes on the deck. Kitchen has all the furnishings as we cooked breakfast each day there. The house was super clean and overall it was exactly what we were looking and hoping for!
Thanks so much for hosting us and providing such a first class experience!
We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends.

This was nestled in the woods and was so quiet. While sitting on the screened in porch, it was so quiet that I heard splashing in the nearby river. Shortly thereafter, a bear walks across the property. Lots of wildlife! Owners had amazing communication. Amenities were top notch and perfect for our family. It was a great place to unwind and disconnect. Perfect vacation get away.

We had a wonderful time at the listed property and in adjacent community of Whitefish. The accommodations at referenced property were welcoming and homey. We enjoyed time together on the porches with meals and viewing the meadow below. The home is modern, well kept, and has plenty of beds for a family. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and the stove made cooking in easy. I would recommend the property if you are looking for a place to get away and relax.

What a special place! The owner has everything covered and no stone is left unturned. The house has everything and more that you will need. Tons of space, beautiful scenery, and close to everything! We will definitely be back!

The Spencer Mountain Cabin was the perfect place for our family vacation. The cabin was clean and beautiful with nice linens and a fully stocked kitchen. Five stars isn’t really a fair rating, this cabin deserves more! The house decorations and furnishings gave the feel of a wonderful mountain retreat. The location was quiet, yet close enough to everything we wanted to do. I would highly recommend the Spencer Mountain Cabin to anyone looking for the perfect Montana location.

An amazing experience and property! So spacious and perfect for our group of 6. The best aspect for us was the screened-in patio overlooking the farm/forest. Even saw a bear out there! Amazing location as well; no less than 15 minutes to downtown whitefish and 45 minutes to the west entrance of Glacier National Park. Highly recommend and would love to come back!

Fantastic Cabin with Great Hosts
We had a fantastic summer stay at the Spencer Mountain Cabin. The pictures don't do the inside of the house justice - it is super well-maintained, very clean, and appointed with everything you could need. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we had local information and were comfortable. Good location close to both outdoors and in-town activities. Extremely pleased!

Lovely home just outside of Whitefish!
A very cold holiday found us cozy by the fire playing games, ping pong, and cooking delicious meals! This house feels like a home away from home. It has everything you need for a wonderful stay! Can’t wait to come back this summer and explore the trail system right outside your door and the Stillwater river out the back door! Thank host & hostess for sharing this beautiful property!

Shea & Jonathan’s cabin is absolutely stunning. Exactly as pictured, this amazing property is beautiful, quiet, and close to great amenities. Whitefish is just a 15 minute drive away, and you can reach the west entrance of Glacier National Park in 45 minutes or less. The cabin is stocked with everything you could possibly need, and our family especially enjoyed the backyard river with the available kayaks. We saw lots of wildlife on our paddling adventures, including a small black bear! We had 6 adults in our family, and we all fit very comfortably into the space. The hammock on the back deck as well as the attached screen porch were great places to spread out and relax. This will definitely be one of our favorite vacations, thanks in large part to the stay at Spencer Mountain cabin. Thank you!!!

Everything about this place is exceptional. This was, hands down, the best VRBO property our group has ever stayed. The detail of the home design and the thoughtfulness of the furnishings are topics of conversation during your entire stay. The communication with the owner is excellent. Don’t look any further. If you can rent this place, do it before someone else does. I was there for a Girl’s Weekend, but I want to come back just so my family can experience this great home and wonderful area.

Montana Wedding
We were blessed to find Spencer Mountain cabin after a covid housing cancellation left us with no place to stay and a wedding already planned. Shea is the most gracious host we have come across in our travels. Shea is responsive, answered all questions, gave us a heads up on GNP restrictions and even helped us plan some wedding events!! The cabin and property is just wonderful. Hiking, kayaking steps away. Close to town but private location. We had both the bride and groom's family at the cabin. Comfortable with enough privacy for all 7 of us. Our daughter and new son-in-law already are talking about when we can all return!

Our family stayed here in August. Everything about this cabin was perfect. We loved opening up the garage door and sitting in the screened in porch. Having access to kayaking and floating on the river was an added bonus. The cabin was clean and welcoming. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The pictures do not do justice to how beautiful the cabin is.

We had such a good time in Montana staying at the Spencer Mt. Cabin. The cabin was beyond perfect. You feel at home the minute you walk in. Shea and Jonathan didn't forget anything. Shea became my friend that I never met. She was always available when we had any questions. We would highly recommend staying there and we would love to go back again.

We met family from the North West Coast.
We had a wonderful time. The town of Whitefish has everything you need. Kalispel is close enough if you need a big box store.
Great activities for all ages for outdoor adventures!
We drove to West Glacier a few times as well.

The property is out of the way and beautiful - extremely peaceful. The pictures do not do this awesome house justice. The hospitality was wonderful - just as if the owners were present. Shea was helpful at all times. We were in the Whitefish area for a family get-away of snowmobiling. The home was a perfect place to come back to - to sit by the fire, play games, put a puzzle together - cook and eat in a beautiful kitchen and appreciate how comfortable the beds were. The cabin was decorated on the outside with white Christmas lights so it felt like we were being welcomed home.

Private, beautiful setting and home!
The house is wonderful. It's big enough for large family's. Everyone has there own room. I love the outdoor sitting porch, especially the section with the netting around it to keep out the crickets. It is decorated as you would imagine a home in Montana should be. Shea, the home owner, is great to work with! She is available by phone at all times. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect summer getaway
Very nice newly built cabin. Great set-up to enjoy the Whitefish/Glacier National Park area. Perfect for dinner enjoying the evening sunset in any elements. You can set-up dinner inside out of the weather, inside with the large door open, on the screened in deck or on the open deck area...We were glad we upgraded our vacation to include the Spencer Mountain Cabin!!

Mountain Paradise!
This home is absolutely stunning and comfortable. The owners use the house too and it is immaculate. Well taken care of, clean, and spacious. We all enjoyed our time here felt at home from the moment we walked in! The river was fun and the screened in porch is heaven! Out only regret is not staying longer!

Wonderful experience
This home was absolutely beautiful inside and out. The indoor/outdoor patios were awesome for the large group we had. The Stillwater river runs through the property and made for a great place to cool off at night. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to escape the chaos of downtown Whitefish with a larger group of people.

Spectacular Cabin and Location!
We wish we could live in this cabin. It is even better than the pictures. Soooo beautiful and comfortable all at once. Mountain biking, kayaking and hiking right outside the door. Shea was an awesome communicator. Coming back to this exquisite place after a day of adventure was heaven.

Stunning and super clean!!!!
The Spencer Cabin is AMAZING. The trip was different then we planned a year ago with Covid, Glacier being half closed and less than ideal weather but the cabin was exactly the place to recharge and reconnect with family. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us and the ping pong table was a lifesaver for the rainy times. The cabin is beautifully decorated and was very clean. Shea was super easy to work with even during the crazy pandemic times.
Seriously one of my favorite VBRO rentals and would definitely stay there again on the next trip to Glacier.

Spacious cabin
We spent a few days at spencer cabin over New Years and had a fantastic stay. There was plenty of space for our two families and ski gear. The kitchen is well appointed to cook for a crowd and the teenagers loved having the basement living space to themselves. Would recommend to anyone looking for a getaway in the whitefish area.

GLORIOUS home in a STUNNING location!!
This is an absolutely dreamy property and vacation spot!! The home itself is stunningly beautiful and charmingly decorated, and SO comfortable and with all the amenities you could possibly want! The views from the deck make you want to just sit and relax, but there’s so much to do close by- including trails to mountain bike on! Even though you’re nestled in the woods, it’s just minutes from town and Whitefish Lake (for beach and boating), the Big Mountain (for mountain biking and playing), and town for great food and shopping. This place is a vacationers dream spot! We will definitely be back, we hope to see it in winter covered in snow!!

--------> LOVING THE SPENCER MOUNTAIN CABIN LIFE <--------
Just on the outskirts of Whitefish (a 10 minute drive from town) you'll find the most incredible place to stay, for us it truly felt like a home away from home! From the moment we arrived we felt welcome. The outside of the cabin was lit with strings of twinkling white lights that not only gave the property a whimsical vibe but also helped us find it more easily at night.
As we walked into the place we'd call home for the next 5 days we were instantly struck with awe. Just taking in the cabin's décor alone was enough to keep our eyes busy for an hour - from the tandem bike hung from the high vaulted ceilings doubling as a light fixture to the vintage snow and ski equipment showcased on the walls, we could tell that each item had been handpicked with love and care. There were even fresh cut flowers and a complimentary bottle of wine on the entry table to celebrate our 8 year wedding anniversary, so thoughtful!
We had an absolute blast skiing, walking through the cute town, and exploring the expansive biking and hiking trail system we found, literally by walking out the front door of the cabin and crossing the road. Staying here, we couldn't have experienced a dull moment if we tried! During the times we just wanted to take it easy and relax in the comfort of this magical place, this cabin once again did not disappoint because sitting on shelves were plenty of games, puzzles, and books. We played match after match of ping pong downstairs and at the end of the night, with a few clicks of the remote, we were able to access our Netflix account on the TV!
There were so many cool little details and perks about this cabin that my husband and I could literally go on and on for pages, if only VRBO would let us have more space to write! We loved the radiant heated floors, jacuzzi tub, dimmable lights, wood burning fireplace, a cool modern glass garage door in the living room that opens up to a screened outside deck, and a hammock hanging outside to sit and read or just enjoy the beautiful and private scenery. It looks like there are even amenities for horses, and I can't forget to mention the beautiful river right behind the cabin that, in the summer, would be the perfect place to float for hours. Talk about being tempted to stay here this summer; to experience this little slice of heaven during a different season. We couldn't recommend staying in this cabin enough if you are planning a trip to Whitefish or to surrounding areas!

Awesome, semi-remote cabin outside of Whitefish Montana
We really enjoyed staying at this cabin. It is roomy, has beautiful views out the back (we saw lots of deer and turkeys), and is really just overall nicely done. A unique, well decorated/designed space, with high quality amenities. We would recommend staying here if you are looking for some privacy and don't mind being a little bit outside of town. We used it as a basecamp to explore Whitefish and Glacier.
