Photos and Description of the Kalispell vacation house rental
2 bedrooms, 2-1/2 bathrooms (sleeps 7)

Discover the authentic Montana lifestyle in the comfort of our spacious vacation home. Here you have a 'million-dollar view' of our 6-acre pond, where you can see wildlife, pine trees and wetlands up close and personal. A world of wonder awaits just outside the door. Enjoy the symphony of birdsong and be on the lookout for special feathered friends! Be among those guests who have reported sightings of a migrating pair of swans, a resident grey heron, and a pair of eagles, one golden and one bald! And no matter what the season, there's always time to watch the sunset or stargaze upon our big night skies!

Here at Hidden Waters, the living is simple and easy. We offer a little pampering that goes a long way. On the first morning of your arrival, we provide a self-catered international breakfast, with fruit, granola, and coffee or tea. Later you can unwind on the deck with a good read from our library or just soak in the Jacuzzi, where bath salts and minerals await you. Or ask us about things to do and more beautiful places to explore while here.

The vacation rental is on the upper level and has the feel of a lodge with its massive stone hearth, high ceilings and wood trim. The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of counter space and cupboards. The great room is open with views of the pond and oh, so comfortable seating, with a rocking chair, a recliner and two couches, one which makes into a queen bed. The master bedroom boasts a lovely view of the pond and master bath with shower. The den doubles as the second bedroom and can sleep two or three people. The Jacuzzi bath and half bath are situated nearby.

While the Main House sleeps 7 there is also another wing of the house that that can be rented along with the main house. It is aptly named our :'Hidden Waters Studio' It sleeps 4 and can be viewed at HA#3495744. (Subject to availability)

We want your stay to be the best! Since we also live on site in the lower unit, we will be attentive to your needs but not invasive to your privacy. As most guests have already mentioned, they readily feel at home at Hidden Waters and nurtured by its peaceful environment.

Hidden Waters Retreat is centrally located in the Flathead Valley and only 10 minutes to Kalispell, 20 minutes to Flathead Lake at Somers Bay, 25 minutes to Whitefish or Lakeside and to Glacier Park international Airport, 40 minutes to Whitefish Mountain Ski Resort, Whitefish Train Depot or Blacktail Ski Resort, Columbia Falls, or Bigfork and 45 minutes to West Glacier or Glacier National Park.

Wonderful Christmas Vacation at Hidden Waters

5 of 5
Submitted: January 2, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
Hidden Waters was a great place to stay and relax. I didn't realize the owners lived downstairs and initially had some concerns, but the house is very well constructed and we did not hear them at all, even when they had a house full of people on Christmas. The photos accurately portray the spacious home and it was clean and well maintained. They had put up a Christmas tree and a few decorations to make it feel more like a home away from home for us and our children. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The home is located right off Highway 2 but secluded enough that you couldn't hear the traffic from the highway. It is close a great location. The wood burning stove was awesome and the sofa sleeper was the most comfortable one I have ever slept on. I would highly recommend this property and would glady stay at Hidden Waters again.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, People with Disabilities, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: We are so glad Hidden Waters Retreat could accommodate all three generations of your family over the Christmas holiday! We apologize for the confusion regarding our presence on the property. We have since updated our disclosure on the website regarding that piece of information, so there won't be any surprises for future guests. Thanks for the feedback about the sleeper sofa as well. It makes into a queen-size bed and, as you mentioned, is quite cozy especially with the heat generated from the hearth and wood stove. We look forward to seeing you and your family again!

Million Dollar View!

5 of 5
Submitted: October 17, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
This place was such a great price and so perfect for our little gathering of friends. The view is amazing! I kept calling it our million dollar view, you can see the sunset over the pond every evening, wow! The property was very clean and the owners were very friendly and helpful and had everything we needed. We would absolutely book this place again and highly recommend to anyone needing a place in the Kalispell area!
Owner's Response: Thank you for booking with us this Fall. We were glad to hear that Hidden Waters Retreat was a good fit for your two families and friends. And we appreciate your description of the view! We hope you had a chance to walk around the pond and see some of the scenery and wildlife up close. Right after you left, we had report of two swans passing through and this winter, we have seen deer, ducks and otters. Right now it is snowing, and I am hoping to make a snowman soon!

Charming

5 of 5
Submitted: October 3, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
My family and I had a wonderful time. The chateau was more than what we had expected, quite with an amazing view of nature. A fantastic place for the kids (we have 3, ages 4, 2 and 10mons), plenty of room for them to run around. It’s a wonderful place to relax, and still within the main shopping area for food. We look forward to staying there again. Thank you Michael and Diane.

Beautiful House in a small piece of Paradise.....

5 of 5
Submitted: September 5, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We stayed in this beautiful house for 3 days and we loved it. Diane was so kind to come and explain us the features of the house, about the pond and some other activities in the area during the days we were there. We were 2 families, 5 adults and 5 kids and there was plenty of room in the house. The house has a beautiful decoration with a mixture of old and new items. It did exceed our expectations in terms of beauty and location. The view of the pond from the Main Bedroom and the Living Room was exceptional. Very clean and organized, this made our stay really comfortable. The comments from our kids were “Dad, can we come here every summer? We love this house...." We will definitely try to come back and highly recommend the property.
