About this property

Brown Bear Chalet, Luxury Ski-In/Ski-Out Across from Whitefish Resort; Hot Tub

Who's ready to go skiing?! The Brown Bear Chalet is the perfect spot for your next ski vacation.

The Brown Bear Chalet comfortably accommodates up to 15 guests with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, and that's just the beginning. The home features two spacious living areas, both fantastic for gathering with one stocked with games to add to your fun! Both living rooms also feature comfy couches and flat-panel Smart TVs. The main level houses a half bath and two queen bedrooms that share a joined full bath with a walk-in shower. The generous kitchen has plenty of room for multiple cooks in the kitchen, the bartender in your group can man the wet bar, the two-sided fireplace adjoining the living and dining rooms keeps the whole area nice and cozy, the dining table and kitchen island allow for seating for 12. The large dining table can also double a game table if your group decides on a game night. The kitchen is fully stocked with a gas stove, microwave, large refrigerator, cookware, utensils, and a drip coffee pot.

The bedrooms are nothing short of amazing. Brown Bear Chalet features two master suites. The main master suite, known as the Fireplace Master Suite, is located on the second floor in the main portion of the home and houses a king bed, ample floor space, fireplace, and large master bath with double vanity, jetted tub, and a full washer/dryer tucked inside a closet. The Castaway Suite is a secluded master suite located above the garage and hosts a king bed, views of the mountain, and a full bath.

At Brown Bear Chalet, the kids have their own space. Located in the basement, the Bunkroom sleeps seven with room to spare. A sliding glass door steps out onto a seasonal (summer only) patio to enjoy some fresh air. A full bathroom and full washer/dryer are also in the basement so they can just leave all their smelly clothes in the basement, thereby keeping the main level blissfully clean during your stay. The Gameroom happens to be conveniently located in the Bunkroom. Kids (and adult kids!) can enjoy a foosball table, smartTV with DVD and a few family-friendly movies, board games, puzzles, Nintendo Wii with several games, and indoor basketball.

Additional amenities include an outdoor grill with propane included and a large six-person hot tub and spacious deck overlooking the slopes. The home is perfectly situated to provide amazing views as well as give you access to the Elk Highlands Lift*. You're also just a two-minute drive to the Base Lodge, the five-star Cafe Kandahar restaurant, and also the Ski Village where you'll find a small market, ski rentals, and resort restaurants like The Bierstube and Ed & Mully's.

Awesome house, great location

Stayed at this property for a trip with 12 people and it was perfect. Spacious enough to fit all 12 people comfortably with amenities for everyone to enjoy. Location is also very close to everything including Glacier National Park, Whitefish Lake, and not too far from the airport.

Summer Vacay

Very nice, well maintained mountain home as described in the listing details. Hits: enough space for our group of 13, huckleberry bushes in the yard, hot tub, a/c units in the main floor living room and both upstairs bedrooms, easy check-in and checkout. Misses: upstairs bedrooms need more window coverings. There is less than 7hrs of full darkness in peak summer. Downstairs sliding door needs new blinds.

Nice, but needs some attention

The property was great but we had a hard time getting a hold of someone after texting and leaving multiple voicemails. There was no propane when we arrived. We did finally get refills a few days later. Also, as I texted multiple times, there were definitely mice in the upstairs bathrooms so you may want to check on those.

Awesome House, Great Location

We rented this house (and 1 other from this company) for our elopement. We had around 30 people, all from out of state, and these two houses together were great for our group. Plenty of space to hang out, have meals together, cook, get ready for the wedding, take some neat pictures, and still have some space to share. Between table games, a hot tub, and small appliances, the house had everything we needed! The location is one of the best parts. It's on the mountain a little ways out of town to provide privacy and the feeling of being in Montana, but not too far outside of Whitefish either.

Brown Bear Chalet

Came into town for the Under the Big Sky concert. The property was a great! We had 14 adults and there was plenty of space for everyone! The location of the property was perfect. We were able to catch the mountain shuttle down to the venue which was very convenient and within walking distance from the property. Will definitely be rebooking.

Scenic Family Trip

The house was in good condition and had all the necessary amenities. The location is right near Big Mountain with plenty of hiking and biking trails. Its only a short drive to downtown Whitefish and about 45min-1hr from Glacier. The house was good for our two families with small children, with multiple gathering areas. The hot tub is a nice addition as well. The walls in the master bedroom were a little thin, so it wasn't perfect for a baby unless the rest of the house was quiet. Overall the house was good for families.

Brown Bear Chalet - April

Great location, fabulous space for everyone. Hot tub on the balcony was a great touch. Plenty of information available if you’re looking for things to do while in whitefish. All the home touches you would expect and more. Excellent space for the kids downstairs! The house was beautiful and clean, however previous guests had left quite a bit of rubbish in the yard around the property. We picked this up before we left. Perhaps it had previously been buried in the snow and not seen by cleaners. We would 100% stay again.

Fabulous Get Away with Great Activities in Basement

Fabulous place! Great view! Had everything including selection of spices for cooking up big meals. BBQ was solid for making great steaks and hot tub was great with an amazing view. Even had some card games like monopoly deal and ping pong balls to boot. Ski in / ski out is a tiny walk to eventually jump on home again. would not hesitate to rent again as we made some great memories in this amazing home of the owners. Fabulous!

Great place, not a true Ski In/Ski out

The house was beautiful. Big and roomy with a great layout. Sleeping arrangements were good for our group and beds and pillows were comfy.. Double attached garage worked awesome for all our gear. Hottub was great and had an amazing view. Only thing i could say negatively about the place is that it is not a true Ski in/Ski out in my mind. It required walking and vehicles for our group. Overall the place was great. It had all the amenities and creature comforts a group needs. Thanks for the memories!
