A versatile property...and you only unpack once!
Better than advertised. Photos are helpful but view is much more colorful. Immaculate property where everything we needed was present, clean, and ready. Convenient to airport and a major grocery store is about 10 miles away. Patti and Robin were readily available, but the info they sent before arrival prepped us so well, we never called them. They thought of everything...don't know how they arranged for the doe and 2 fawns to show up every morning as if on cue, or how they arranged for the birds to build their nest off the front porch where we could see the baby birds, but they were there too.
The kitchen had the right mix of equipment. The view was so great we cooked and dined at the property every night, allowing us to enjoy our wine, save money, and have real family dinners at the dining table that seated all 8 of us. Additionally it was easy to make sandwiches for lunch on hikes or drives the next day. We used the gas grill almost every day esp for fish and vegetables (grabbed a grill basket at last minute from home, but bet there will be one in the house shortly after Patti reads this).
We spent several days hiking in Glacier NP, a 45-minute drive. The hot tub was a welcome sight after an 11 mile hike or after a long day driving or flying.
A day trip to Couer d'Alene, 3.5 hours away, was pretty with ever-changing landscape. That day others in our party were happy to explore Somers, chill at the house, and be repeat customers at Tamarack Brewing for lunch.
One day some family members hired a guide through Lakestream Fly Fishing Shop in Whitefish for a trip on the Flathead River with much success and others drove the shores of Flathead Lake to explore artsy Bigfork and the cherry orchards on the other side; fresh cherries were superb.
I did leave sleep deprived because I did not want to miss the Montana night sky and would not lower the blinds in the master bedroom. The Eastern star hanging so bright and low over the mountains should not be missed. Found myself sitting on the deck at 4 a.m. one clear night. Was treated to 3 falling stars in a short time.
Thanks Patti and Robin for sharing your beautiful property. What a fun week!
