Quick visit to Glacier NP

The Railway Loft was centrally located to park and walk to all of Whitefish restaurants, bars and shopping. We visited with our son that lives in MT to drive the Road to the Sun. We enjoyed several breweries and restaurants in town, Big Mountain and GNP. The condo was well equipped for cooking and a longer stay. We were only here two nights to relax after a day of touring. The Murphy bed worked well. Seating was limited for more than two people to relax comfortably with the TV only located in the bedroom. Overall a great VRBO with great communication.

Nice, spacious loft near downtown Whitefish

Enjoyed our stay in the second floor unit with lots of space and voluminous sloped ceilings. Very well-equipped, although knives could be sharper, and nicely decorated, Great location only two blocks walking distance to bustling areas of downtown. Front entry and parking from busy alley with dumpsters and ongoing construction is a bit unfortunate. Unit is also showing a little age with dusty recesses and a couple holes where hooks, etc. have come off, but still a very nice place to stay.

Amazing Experience

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and accommodations were wonderful! It was so close to walk anywhere in downtown Whitefish and there was no shortage of wonderful food to pick from. We did a few day trips to Glacier National Park and the location of the VRBO was perfect to have somewhere nice to come back to each day. Our only “complaint” was it being a little loud early in the morning and at night but that was to be expected. The property manager JJ is local and was a phenomenal help!!! Can’t recommend this property enough.

The perfect stay!

We couldn't have been happier with our stay. The property itself was incredible including board games, good books, word scramble, kitchen fully prepared to cook, wonderful patio and views, and comfortable bed. Not to mention, DT Whitefish is within walking distance including shopping, bars, and the lake. We cannot wait to book our next stay!

Superb location and setup

Loft was exactly as described. Right downtown... within 1-2 block from restaurants. 1.5 miles from the lake and about 35 minutes to Glacier Nat'l Park. Unit was clean, all necessities and cooking utensils were available. Owner/manager was very responsive and provided restaurant recommendations. I would definitely stay here again.

Convenient, Comfortable and Spacious Condo in downtown Whitefish

The Railroad Loft at Whitefish was perfect for the two of us as we explored the Flathead National Forest and Glacier NP too. Loved the convenience of being smack in the middle of downtown, easy walking distance to so many awesome restaurants, bars, shops, galleries as well as great biking/hiking trails too. The Loft was so comfortable and spacious for us - lots of light from the many windows, high ceilings, extra half bath, comfy bed & linens, big kitchen, A/C and plenty of room for storage. Well equipped and thoughtfully adorned - loved the wall art! JJ was a fabulous host, very responsive and accommodating. She was like a friend I've known for awhile. Thank you, JJ - We hope to come back!

Great location and host

We were close to town and shopping ... and just a couple of blocks away from trails along the river. The home was beautiful and cozy. The added bonus of a half bath with a separate toilet made it perfect for us. JJ, our host, was available for communication at any time. Really a wonderful place to stay in Whitefish!

Excellent stay!

This place was perfect for a quick two night stay in Whitefish. It’s a couple blocks from all the shops and restaurants, but far enough that you don’t get the noise and traffic. It was extremely clean and I would stay here again if I came back

Modern condo in an excellent location

We loved the loft condo! There were so many extras that we enjoyed. We used the deck often and enjoyed the spacious , well decorated interior. The location is great for anything downtown Whitefish- shops, restaurants, ice cream, etc. we walked to and from the train station and farmers market. Highly recommend!

Convenient location

My husband and I LOVED staying in the town of Whitefish at this condo! How nice it was to be able to leave our car parked and walk around town. Restaurants and shops were all within walking distance. The condo was ultra clean, decorated modern and sleek with many conveniences such as a wine cooler, blender, cooking/baking equipment, washer/dryer, blow dryer, etc. There were plenty of fluffy towels and even 2 spa like robes. We enjoyed breakfast and supper on the porch. Even though we were "in town", the condo was quiet and private. Driving time to the west entrance of Glacier National Park, Big Mountain Ski Resort, and Flathead Lake were all reasonable. Communication with the owner produced quick and detailed answers to any questions I had. If we are ever blessed to return to Whitefish, we will book this condo again!

Why they chose this property

My sister bought the Railway Loft for a place to stay when she visits us from Seattle. Its location is in the very popular area known as the 'The Railway District', a historic section near downtown Whitefish that is a great mix of local business, delicious restaurants, art galleries, and small homes.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location!
The Railway Loft is conveniently located within blocks of downtown Whitefish. We are blocks away from the Amtrak Station, art galleries, performing art centers, restaurants, Whitefish Lake and Whitefish River, coffee houses, bars, bookstores, local stores and more! We love being able to walk anywhere in town or take our bikes for a quick ride to City Beach. Inside the space is beautiful and comfortable with special attention to design detail and finishings. It's your home away from home!
