Scenic Waterfront Retreat on the Swan River!

Nestled on the banks of the Swan River in Bigfork, Montana, this charming two-bedroom rustic ranch style home offers the perfect blend of tranquility and comfort. As you approach this home, you'll be greeted by the warm, inviting exterior featuring natural wood siding, a gabled roof, and a spacious front deck adorned with sturdy wooden railings and comfortable outdoor furniture for you to enjoy the forest view of the Retreat. To the back of the home, there is a private patio off the living room and another patio off the second bedroom giving you direct access to the Swan River, Jewel Basin mountain range surrounding natural beauty.

​​​​​​​*Please note, the two patios and the large covered front porch are available for you during your stay.

Stepping inside, you'll find a cozy and well-appointed interior. The open concept living area boasts a vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden beams, creating an airy and spacious atmosphere. A stone fireplace serves as the focal point of the room, offering both warmth and rustic charm. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with sleek black appliances and an oversized island with a granite countertop. The pops of red color throughout the home, in the form of decorative accents and furnishings, add a vibrant touch to the rustic decor and create a sense of coziness.

The two King bedrooms provide comfortable retreats, each offering large windows that allow for natural light to stream in and views of the Swan River. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a glass walk-in shower, heated floors, and floorboard heater for your comfort. The second bedroom boasts a dedicated work space, coffee bar and beverage cooler. Both bedrooms rooms offer plush King beds and mounted Smart TVs.
