About this property

Beautiful, new chalet centrally located to all major attractions in the valley!

This cozy and serene chalet is nestled at the base of the Swan Mountains in a beautiful, wooded area with breathtaking lake and mountain views, only 2 minutes on a paved road to major highway. 10 minutes to Bigfork and Flathead Lake, 20 minutes to Kalispell Airport, 30-40 minutes to Glacier Park and Whitefish.

This 3 bedroom, 3 bath chalet offers an exceptionally comfortable retreat from the busyness of traveling, sightseeing and vacationing. Year-round comfort is provided by radiant floor heat and gas fireplace in the winter and ductless air-conditioning in the upper level during the summer. It is fully stocked throughout with everything you will need to feel at home. Each bedroom has a queen bed with four pillows, plenty of dresser space and full-length mirrors. An extra bonus is a USB port/charging station at each bedside. Patio has ample seating with a smokeless fire pit to gather around in the evenings (unless local fire restrictions are in effect due to dry conditions). Take the staircase and path down to the lake to enjoy a paddle in the canoe or just sit in the Adirondack chairs, take in the scenery and watch for wildlife. For the more adventurous, you can walk along the edge of the lake to the sand/gravel shore where you can take a refreshing swim. A short walk down the paved road takes you to Tamarack Lake, which is more preferable for swimming. Throughout the day, it’s not uncommon to see deer, wild turkeys, ducks and geese. Those who rise earlier in the morning, may catch a glimpse of a bear, moose, elk or mountain lion.

The “Many Lakes” community is a neighborhood in the Creston area southeast of Kalispell and north of Bigfork. There are over 20 lakes and ponds within the area. These lakes were formed by retreating glaciers and water levels depend on snowfall. In years of high snowpack, these lakes can fill to capacity. Whereas during a drought, they may become more like a wetland meadow or reduce in size.

We hold a "Public Accommodations" license with the Montana Department of Public Health & Human Services and adhere to the highest standards of cleanliness.


** IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE REQUESTING TO BOOK **

* Due to the unique setting of this property, it has an alternative/complex septic system with multiple moving parts and electrical components (pumps, monitors and alarms). For this reason, we absolutely MUST hold to our 6-person limit. Further, there are some basic requests we ask of our guests to reduce overload and help keep this system running smoothly (spacing showers, laundry use, etc.). Despite these minor considerations, the water/septic functions operate just like any other home and should not cause any inconvenience.

* We absolutely welcome children; however, they must be supervised at all times when outdoors as there are many intriguing yet potentially dangerous areas surrounding the property.

* During autumn and winter months, snowfall can happen at any time, often fast and heavy. We do have someone plow the main driveway as soon as possible, however, guests are responsible for the snow removal of the asphalt directly in front of the garage as well as the patio during their stay. Snow shovels, a battery-operated snow blower and ice melt pellets are provided. An all-wheel drive is typically necessary to access the lower driveway when snow-covered. In extreme weather conditions, if the sloped driveway is mostly ice or slick snow-pack, guests MUST park in the upper driveway adjacent to the county road and walk to the lower level and chalet (takes 30-45 seconds). If you are not comfortable dealing with snow removal and/or walking on unlevel, patchy snow and ice, we do not recommend staying at this property between mid-October and mid-April.

* The property has 4 outdoor security cameras which will be disarmed the entire duration of our guests' stay and will resume after 11am the day of checkout.

** PLEASE INQUIRE WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS REGARDING THESE DECLARATIONS. THANK YOU!! **

Excellent, even better than the photos!

The chalet was even better than the photos! The view from the back patio was breathtaking, so peaceful and quiet! The house was immaculate, and fully stocked! It was so nice to have all the little things provided and not have to purchase them for a short stay. Milinda had great communication, and was very accommodating! It was nice and close to all the places on our list to visit. We would love to stay here again!

Great House

Amazing house. New, clean, spacious and very comfortable. We loved our stay. Awesome views of the lake below and the mountains off in the distance. Plenty of wildlife passing through. Very relaxing setting. The location is excellent. Only 15 minutes to Bigfork/Flathead Lake, about 30 minutes to Columbia Falls and 45 minutes to West Entrance Glacier NP and Whitefish. So much to see and do! We plan to return! Thanks!!

Beautiful!!

This property is very well appointed and easy to settle into. Instructions readily available for operation of appliances. Great location for visiting Glacier and many surrounding scenic areas. A beautiful peaceful area full of wildlife. We enjoyed watching a deer with twin fawns every evening. Melinda was very responsive with all communication. We definitely recommend this property and host!!

Amazing!

Luckily, we picked up some groceries on our way to the chalet, because we didn’t move our car from the garage until we left for home three days later. It was truly that relaxing! In addition, it is beautifully furnished and immaculate.

Perfection!

If you’re in this part of Montana vacationing, you really need to stay at this property. Beautiful setting, beautiful house, beautiful furnishings from the back terrace to each and every bedroom, bathroom, living spaces and kitchen. The host has thought of everything, including little labels or tags on anything you need to get your hands on or learn how to operate. You really don’t want to miss this experience!

Great Location, Awesome Neighborhood and Gracious Host!!

Wonderful home with all the amenities in a beautiful neighborhood close to everything in Flathead Valley. Close to Glacier NP. But secluded enough for rest and peace after a day of adventure. Host responds quickly and has the house set up for anything you may need. Highly recommend from a family of 5 with kids.

A fantastic place to stay

Everyone in my party was blown away with our stay at this property. The views from the back patio are even better than the photos can portray. You could spend all week just sitting and looking out over the lake and mountains. The inside is equally impressive too, and has most of the same great views. The place was immaculate and does not feel like a rental place. Everything was spotless and in perfect working order. All communication from Milinda leading up to and during the stay was excellent, and we would definitely stay here again. The cabin is about 15 minutes from the closest grocery stores or restaurants, but it is worth it to be a little more secluded from all the tourist mayhem. The whole neighborhood around the cabin and the drive through the farm land to get to it is beautiful as well.

4th of July Getaway

We absolutely loved this property! The house is beautiful and clean! All of the information you could possibly need is provided by the property owner, the handbook, labels on light switches etc. Millinda was extremely helpful and friendly. The view from the back patio of the pond and the mountains felt like something out of a movie. We enjoyed just relaxing outside and enjoying the amazing scenery. We would definitely stay here again if we are back in the Glacier area.

Gorgeous chalet and surroundings

This chalet was wonderful for our group of 6 family members experiencing Glacier NP for the first time! We loved the lake and canoe, the beautiful chalet stocked with everything we needed and much more, the outdoor fire pit and seating. The home was very clean, beautifully decorated, and even better than the pictures can show. We appreciated the great communication with our host and the generous hospitality provided during our stay. Thank you! We would love to come back!

Perfect Family Getaway

This home is beautiful & the owner was very easy to work with. We brought our fishing boat and fished Flathead Lake a couple days and went to Glacier on another day. This was the perfect location for both of those things. We saw lots of different wildlife during "happy hour" on the private back porch which was sooo exciting. I think our favorite was the 2 foxes! The kitchen has everything you need to create a great meal & we had movie night upstairs. Every detail in this home is well thought out. Check-in & check-out were very easy. We will definitely come back.

Above and beyond what we expected!

This property was one of our favorite places! Milinda was a great host, although i didn’t really need to contact her because everything was so nicely labeled and they had a house book which was super helpful! This place has a great location, we got to check out new spots everyday. The views were amazing! We saw lots of wildlife and walked down to the lake and my toddler got to see the ducks. The beds were also really comfortable. The fire pit outside was so much fun every night. This house is very cozy and very relaxing and had all the amenities we needed. I have nothing but great things to say about this place! I would definitely stay here again!

Glacier Stay

The house and surrounding area is amazing. Wonderful views, and close to Glacier NP, Kalispell, Whitefish, and Flathead Lake. We enjoyed the outside amenities of the house and the ones inside as well. We even drove into Canada for a day trip. Overall, the house is amazing and very clean. Pretty much has everything you would want or need.

Beautiful home with amazing views

What a beautiful, comfortable home located just 30 minutes from the entrance of Glacier National Park. The home is newly constructed and beautifully decorated….and the view of their lake (and mountains) was amazing with all kinds of wildlife hanging out around it. The owners have this place so organized and they thought of everything you could need. We were a bit hesitant to pick with home with no reviews at the time, but we are soooooo glad we did!

Stunning views from the beautiful patio, quiet, immaculately clean, organized, and stocked with everything you could need or want.

Amazing chalet in the Kalispell area!

This is hands down the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed at! Milinda thought of everything & everything was top notch! The chalet was beautiful! Kitchen with island & everything you need to cook or grill. Even ziplock bags & storage containers & wonderful dishes & cookware! Pantry was stocked with spices & bounty napkins and paper players & plastic ware if you needed to take for a picnic which we did on our day trip to GNP. Even had bag clips! Which I accidentally took one home! Beds & pillows comfortable! Reclining chairs in movie room in loft & downstairs. Patio deck with amazing view of the lake which you could canoe in. Lake was not huge but very nice! We walked to a swimming lake nearby which was awesome! 3 bathrooms well stocked & wonderful master bedroom bath & shower. Great water pressure too! Laundry room with everything you needed to do laundry. Garage was so clean! She even had anti itch stuff in a closet to use! No mosquitoes there though! Had a grill too! I will definitely stay here again!! As would my family! Milinda thought of everything & was an excellent communicator! If you’re looking for a place to stay in the glacier area stay here!!!

About the host

Hosted by Milinda Palmersheim

Host profile image
My husband and I are Montana natives and feel grateful to live in "The Last Best Place."
We built this vacation home as a place of retreat for ourselves as well as for our family and friends to visit and share quality time together while exploring the beautiful Flathead Valley. We are excited and happy to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

We feel the Flathead Valley truly is one of the most beautiful areas in Montana. We couldn't settle on one specific town or location and were so fortunate to find this secluded gem of a property with easy access to everything!

What makes this property unique

We love how isolated you feel when you are settled "at home" AND how quickly you can be out exploring or enjoying a great meal.
