The artist village of Bigfork is close with galleries, restaurants, breweries, shopping, golf, live theater, horseback riding and tours on Flathead Lake. Water recreational sports like whitewater rafting, diving, sailing and boating means there is something for everyone close by for every member of the family.

Glacier National Park, arguably one of our most scenic national parks, is less than an hour away. Also nearby are Crane Mountain and Jewel Basin, popular for hiking and spectacular scenery.

Fully air conditioned.

Summer regional promotions provide a lot of entertaining options including music festivals, rodeos and farmers markets.

Shop the Ferndale Market just minutes away --- a complete outdoors outfitter. Winter means cross country skiing, snowmobiling and all recreational activities that are this area's winter wonderland.

Little slice of Heaven

Perfect Montana vacation base! Our family enjoyed this property tremendously! Hot tub, fire pit, hammock, fishing, tubing, and playing in the river right in the backyard, sauna, can’t get better than this! The layout of the house worked perfectly for our large group. We made all of our meals in the house kitchen and on the grill, the house had everything we needed. Bob was the best host, he even shared his raspberry patch and honey from his bees with us! We would go back in a heartbeat!

We had the best time on Rippling Waters! The beautiful river was our playground and we floated, fished and just enjoyed the beauty of it all. The home was so comfortable and well appointed and the owner was so dear and helpful. It was the best place to celebrate my birthday with my family!! We will be back!

Perfect for R&R

We had a great time at Bob’s property! First he was a fantastic host who made the entire process from booking to leaving smooth and easy. Our favorite part was taking in the river and wildlife with a cup of coffee every morning. The yard and view are even better in person. We will be back!

This was one of our best vacations. The house was so beautiful and accomodating. The owners, Bob and his wife went out of their way to provide us with rafts, bikes, outdoor games etc. The view of the river everyday from the house was spectacular! It was truly a very special place for us!

Can't wait to go back!

This house on Swan River is the best rental we have had in 10 years of coming to the Bigfork area! The kitchen was stocked with everything you might need for making meals along with a pantry full of helpful items. The house was clean and had plenty of extra blankets, towels, and linens for our week-long stay. Each day we enjoyed watching the ducks and deer out in they yard and river, along with friendly people floating by the house. Access to kayaks and tubes for enjoying the river was a definite bonus.

Better than expected

Pictures can be deceiving, but not this time. It was better than advertised. House was spotless, yard was manicured, Bob was the perfect gentleman. Had a black bear visit the back yard! Super cool! Big Fork is a great small town. Make sure to get a burger at the A Bar just down the road. Only an hour to the entrance of Glacier State Park. Would definitely stay here when we go back. Thanks Bob.

River Runs Through It

If you are looking for a magical getaway on a special property, then look no further than this one. First, the property host, Bob is an extremely nice person who makes you feel right at home immediately! He was there to greet us personally and took the time to show us all the amenities. The house itself was immaculate and was very well appointed with everything you need for your vacation. The property is right on the river and nothing could be more peaceful than just listening to the water rolling over the rocks while have a glass of wine in the hot tub! I cant recommend Bob and this property enough. So when you are ready to treat yourself to something truly special, book this home! Sincerely, Kit Boyd

Fantastic!

We loved our stay on the Swan River. The house was as listed and perfect for our family of 4 plus grandparents. The boys loved playing in the yard and the river. We floated in the kayak and tube, enjoyed the hot tub and sauna, and spent a great deal of time enjoying the large deck listening to the sounds of the river and watching the neighborhood deer. The location was great - close enough to town and activities but very quiet and peaceful. Bob was friendly, responsive and very helpful to accommodate us last minute after a local fire pushed us out of another rental. What a blessing in disguise! If we are back in the area we would definitely love to stay here again!

Wonderful location on the Swan River. We went tubing and fly fishing right outside the back door. Bob provided 4 bikes so we cruised the surrounding area often. Clean house and comfortable home feeling. We did struggle a little in the evenings with the TV and using Roku but we didn't mind, given the wonderful peaceful location.
