6/10
Beautiful new house in the woods near Echo Lake, located less than 15 minutes to downtown Bigfork and the gorgeous Flathead Lake. As a group of friends in our 60s, we enjoyed Glacier, boating on Flathead, the Summer Playhouse, watching deer in our yard, etc.
The house is lovely, but so new that the description is misleading. Check-out is listed as 11am but the host scheduled cleaners to come at 10am on our last day. On the plus side, we were kindly granted early check-in.
Also, the house has three bedrooms: a master-suite king plus two bedrooms, each with queen bunks (not a normal queen bed in one of the guest rooms, as pictured on the webpage). Both bunks are pushed up against the wall, so couples must crawl over each other to get to the bathroom. Awkward! Mattresses are new (soft) with comfy bedding. Yet no bedside tables or even luggage racks —so we bought folding TV tables. Thus, the sleeping situation was iffy. On the plus side, there is a twin bed in the large laundry room, not mentioned on webpage. Nice!
Nice large foyer! Big smart TV! Huge porch with six chairs and charcoal grill! (But no bbq utensils or “real” coffee maker.)
In the showers, low water pressure. Dishwasher stalled until we re-plugged it in, under sink.
Two bedrooms have no ceiling fans and no window screens so sleeping felt stuffy, unless we turned the AC down to 69° which is crazy in Montana where summer nights drop to 60°.
Nonetheless, nice! Thanks for a good time under the Big Sky!
