About Scott Roskam

We live here year around and in the summer we move out of the house and live close to the lake shore in a wooded clearing in our RV. We are usually near by and can assist to insure your vacation staying with us is a pleasant experience for everyone in your group. You can visit our booth at the Whitefish Farmers Market during the summer where we sell organic fruit from our farm.(see Photo).

Scott Roskam purchased this house in 1989
Why Scott Roskam chose Bigfork

We enjoy all the different seasons as it is a change from So. Calif. where we used to live. We have good air connections here to travel conveniently. Even though we enjoy the rural living, our nearby cities have the entertainment and group activities we also enjoy (theater, music events,dancing and other clubs and groups doing may activities that we can participate in.

What makes this house unique

We enjoy swimming and boating the the summer, cross country skiing in the winter. A good hiking trail is nearby. Biking is fun in the fall when the hwy. traffic is less.

What a great property for a vacation! The house is huge especially for our smaller party and wonderful for pet parents! Has a very large deck with plenty of deck furniture to enjoy the terrific view of the orchard & lake. Centrally located for any activity you could possibly imagine, from shopping to bike riding to boating to great restaurants and theater, as well as close proximity to Glacier Park. Probably the only negative thing was that there was quite a bit of highway noise as the house is fairly close to the road. Didn't bother us much though. Also, the small rowboat wasn't in the best of shape so we didn't use it. All in all I would definitely recommend this property.

Scott was very accommodating. His place is rustic with some great perks. We loved the natural hot tub and the view from the deck. Having Wi-Fi was a huge plus! If you walk to the lake bring your galoshes or boots. Driving to the lake was the best option for us. Whenever we had a question Scott was quick to respond.

40th Birthday Party/ Reunion

5 of 5
Submitted: July 10, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We came to the Lake Retreat Farm to celebrate my 40th Birthday. Our party in whole 24 people and 4 dogs.The house was beautiful and serene. The set up of the house is perfect for large parties. We fit 5 teenagers comfortably in one bedroom downstairs, which left an entire other bedroom open. The dance studio and large open basement left room for others to move and play comfortably. It also had a pull out couch for more to sleep. The view of the lake over looking the orchards and garden was beautiful. The walk to the lake was nice, very romantic to walk make from a day at the lakefront. They cherries, and fruit trees were an added bonuses.
We were here for a week, with new members to the party arriving daily. The entire staff and Scott were so helpful and accommodating to our unique situation. The property is lush with many coves and interesting items to explore. I believe our party had five tents set up through out property all with private settings. We also had a boat and RV parked!! It was amazing! The chickens were fun to watch and in their own little area. The cars Scott has are really fun to look at.
The property all is within a mile drive of a very nice Bay if you have a boat. It was completely accessible. The property is a nice quaint drive to Big fork.. with much sites along the way.
This was one of the best weeks of my life. All and all I could go on and on pointing out the little things that made this property so great.
Thanks Scott!
We hope to make a stay at the Lake Front retreat an annual stay.
