Beautiful, spacious, well located apartment

My family of four stayed at the Wild Mile for four nights. It was the perfect respite midway through our 16-day road trip. The apartment is on the first floor of a mixed-use two story building with approximately 16 units. It is beautifully and comfortably furnished. The deck backs up to the Swan River and the sound of the rushing river was incredible. We could catch glimpses of the river through the foliage. The location was perfect to walk for coffee, dinner, shopping on Electric Avenue (Main Street of downtown), and hiking along the river. It is also well located to access Lake Flathead, state parks, and the west entrance to Glacier National Park. It was a bit difficult to find based on the email instructions but once we called the property manager, she easily directed us.

This property has an excellent location. We give it 4 stars because the twin beds were not the most comfortable for adults and the noise of the people above us for 2/3 nights..

Once we found the condo, things were terrific

Check in was at 4pm and we arrived at 3:33. We text the owner, stating that we had arrived and that we could not locate the property. We did not hear back from the owner until 8pm. Fortunately, the property location finally opened up on the VRBO site and we could see what # the property was. Check in was extremely difficult but overall, we had a great stay.

Amazing Location Pictures do not do this property justice

I rented this for the Fourth of July this year. It was the perfect location. Being my 5th year coming to big fork for the fourth this condo couldn’t have been better accommodations. Very clean and spacious property. Can’t wait for next year here!

Love Bigfork

The apartment was great and decorated amazingly. Kitchen was fully furnished and not a need for anything. The location is great and the bakery/coffee shop next door was so good. Huckleberry sweet rolls. Bigfork theatre in the evening and close to Glacier. We will be back.

Beautiful place

The pictures don’t do this property justice ,it’s very spacious and comfortable. I enjoyed the nightly bands next door and the city’s atmosphere was welcoming. There are many things to do and although the weather didn’t permit us to enjoy the water we found many fun activities to do as a family.

Overall good

A nice property, we enjoyed staying there. It's in a great location and you can walk into Bigfork. At night there is live music going on right outside the property but once inside we didn't hear it at all. The only noise is from the property upstairs - you can hear them walking and talking up there. I was disappointed with the communication from the property manager. We also had to go to the store for toilet paper, there was only one roll. But, a nice property, nice location, very cute. Amy Osborne

Too office feeling and can’t see river

This property is very unique however for the price I would of liked to been able to see the river. The condo still feels like an office and the leftover food in the pantry and cabinets was not appealing.

Beautiful condo in a lively part of town

The condo was absolutely top notch! It is beautifully decorated, and the kitchen had everything you would need except maybe a toaster or microwave. That was evident in the amenity listing so we knew that ahead of time. The linens were soft and luxurious and the condo was immaculate. I do mention (as have others) that it is located next to a music venue. They were generally finished around midnight so not too bad, but you have to close the windows (and eliminate the breeze and sound of water) until then. Also many patrons hang on the deck (5ft away) and smoke. During the day it is very quiet and the deck is very enjoyable. The living room furniture is so comfortable, so with the window open it’s a great place for a nap! Loved Big Fork!!!

Great Property in Downtown Bigfork

The location is great. We spent most of our time with our family who’s place (property 1013661) was on Flathead Lake. We were there within 5 mins which was perfect for us. There’s a little cafe next door which was good. Most days parking was fine but if there’s an event going on it can be challenging. One day there was a farmers market and the other was a concert/live band. Those times we had to drive around a few times before finding a spot. We didn’t cook during our stay since we ate with our family at the property on Flathead but they seem to have everything you would need to eat in. The washer and dryer was a nice bonus to wash towels during our week long stay. The space is beautifully decorated and was very clean. All the bedding and towels smelled freshly washed upon our arrival. Take time to appreciate the sound of the flowing river right outside the back door. There’s a nice little balcony with a table and chairs. Everything in Downtown Bigfork is in walking distance from this condo. Plenty of places to eat and shop. The Pocketstone Cafe is the breakfast spot within walking distance but it’s closed Tuesday and Wednesday so those days you may want to have breakfast in the condo. Or drive to Echo cafe. While you’re in Montana make your way to Glacier National Park at least one day. We woke up early and got the the park at 5:45am to watch the sunrise. It was definitely worth waking up early for. Also Whitefish has fun things for young kids so go there if you can. Don’t think twice about booking this great condo. Lots to do nearby, great space, great location.
