Restore: Your Mountain Retreat

Get away from it all in this spacious, charming, serene, renovated, 2,300 sq ft cottage nestled in the forest. This quiet neighborhood is just 1.5 miles from Flathead Lake, 3 miles from all the amenities of Bigfork. Perfectly appointed with every comfort, truly your home away from home. Fully renovated in '23, this 100% private home designed for guests has a fully stocked kitchen, beautiful forest, lake, mountain views, luxury bed/bath products, 4 patios, and climate control. Restoration awaits! The space Come be restored! It’s all ready for you!  Our Public Accommodation License from Flathead County allows for six overnight guests, determined by bedroom count. Our place has three extremely comfortable memory foam king mattresses (one in each bedroom) plus one queen-sized memory foam sofa bed in the upstairs loft, so there are eight possible sleeping spots to choose from. We’ve also got a Pak n Play and a separate crib mattress with bedding for your little ones.  Don't miss the loft! What a sweet spot. Games, Smart HD TV, books, toys, puzzles, bean bag, art supplies, sleeping sofa. A happy place for every age.  Love being outside? Four patios to choose from, a gas BBQ with every tool, outdoor dining furniture and dishes, and don’t forget to turn on the string lights. The hammock lends a great view of the tree tops. Insider’s tip: The sun sets over Flathead Lake, in the front yard, and there’s nothing like that glow. Plus lots of critters to watch and trees all around. Truly home sweet home!  Special occasion? Holiday fan? Let us know if you’d like a personalized set up- groceries, décor, balloons, flowers, celebratory drinks and dessert, and more. And there's a good chance the place will already be lightly decorated if your visit coincides with a major holiday. Travelling with a young family? Booster/high chair, outdoor kids’ picnic table, DVD’s, sippy cups and kid friendly foodware await you. Beware the stairs- you’re welcome to use the two baby gates. And, if your kids are like ours, they will love climbing on the rocks and watching the wildlife in the yard! We just ask that you keep an eye on them. While our place is well-equipped for children, it is NOT kid- or baby-proofed. (Imagine a non-parent wrestling with a baby-locked cabinet on their vacation…no thank you!)  Travelling with friends? You will love our upstairs/downstairs floor plan! Downstairs features a master suite in the back and king bedroom plus bathroom in the front, while upstairs features a king bedroom, full bathroom, and living room loft. So all guests will enjoy the accommodations and privacy they require for a true vacation.  Staying awhile? Lots of adventures planned? Our spacious, fully appointed laundry room can handle the dirt of all your outside fun.  Love to cook? Harvest Market is just a few minutes away, and this kitchen has all you need to prepare a gourmet dinner, beautiful brunch, perfect picnic basket, gorgeous charcuterie spread, fun cocktail party, or delectable baked sweets. And, when you’re finished, let the brand new Bosch dishwasher do the washing up for you.   Don’t wanna cook? No problem! We have a list of favorite restaurants for you. I promise you, there are enough fabulous spots in Bigfork and Flathead Valley to keep you fed and watered for weeks with no repeats.  Outdoor afficionado? The possibilities are endless. Water sports on a plentitude of lakes and rivers, snow sports in the winter, so much hiking, horseback riding, fishing, cycling, off-roading, zip lining, lavender ranch, cherry orchards, golf, tennis, pickleball, and more.

There are two desks- one in the front bedroom and one in the hallway. High speed wifi and cell signal. Just promise you’ll only work as much as you have to, k?  A few other random things we love here- the coffee, the rodeos, and the stars! There are coffee stands and shops allll over, most are local, and they are delicious. Check out the Majestic or the Blue Moon for frequent rodeos. Bigfork has some too! And, the stars- hard to compete with the twinkle in these skies. For best viewing, unplug the string lights and keep your phone off so your night vision is at its peak performance. (Sorry, did we mention the Aurora Borealis? We can see that here- try the Aurora Pro app for a heads up on best viewing days/times.)  New to the area?
