It is 728 square feet. If you need the guest house please contact us to add that to your reservation. The guest house does have an additional fee. Please note we upgraded to StarLink satellite internet in 2023 and now have viable internet access. Cell service is best on the deck or outside for sending images or making phone calls. Text messaging seems to be pretty consistent. If you enable WiFi calling on your phone the internet will make your phone useable at the house. More About Our Place: This cozy Montana cabin is nestled on nearly four acres at the end of a one lane dirt road outside of Whitefish on Blanchard Lake, a serene spring fed lake. The land has been in my family since the 1940's and is a true treasure. The cabin was originally built as a summer cabin by my great aunt and uncle in the 1960's and most recently served as my father's home for the past couple of decades. The cabin faces the lake and it a great lake for swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, and more in the summer. It has a loon habitat on the southern shore so large motor craft are not advised. In summer months the call of the loons can be heard from the house. If golfing is more your cup of tea, the Whitefish Golf Course is just three miles from the house. Add another mile down the road and you are in the beautiful, picturesque downtown area of Whitefish with galleries, shops, and restaurants. Whitefish was recently rated as one of the top twenty-five ski towns in the world by National Geographic. In summer the ski resort offers luge style rides as well as an extensive mountain bike trail system. In winter months you can cross country ski right out your door or grab your downhill gear and head 11 miles up to the Whitefish Mountain Resort. If groomed cross country trails are more your thing the Whitefish Golf Course turns into a lit, groomed cross country trail system in the winter. The main house is a rustic 728 square feet and features two small bedrooms, one full bath, and open concept living, dining, and kitchen area that faces the water with an outdoor screened dining area and wrap around deck. We recently remodeled the kitchen and bath in July 2020. In the summer months there is a small guest cabin off the rear deck that has a bedroom and half bath that can be rented in addition to the main house. Please check with the homeowner on availability and rates to add the guest cabin. Your neighbors on the next two four acre parcels are my brothers, Aric and Tary King, and their wives. At one time the whole west side of the lake was owned by family. Now sections have been sold off, but some still remain including a one room log cabin in a family trust, but the last twelve acres is my immediate family including this retreat, Papa’s Place. If you are interested in larger, newer property, or to be closer to Glacier, please check out our home in West Glacier, www.vrbo.com/413140. I bought the property and built the home while I was the principal/lead teacher in the two room school house in West Glacier. I now reside in Great Falls, Montana and work for Great Falls Public Schools and happy to share our homes on the west side of the Continental Divide with you and yours. If you plan to visit Glacier National Park during your stay we highly recommend checking out their website. It has valuable information on trail and road openings/closings and conditions. The main road through the Park, Going-to-the-Sun, is usually open to Logan Pass by late June, early July. https://www.nps.gov/glac/index.htm 🏔️ Glacier National Park Announces Plans for 2023 Reservations 🏔️ Visitors to Glacier National Park in 2023 can expect to use a vehicle reservation system to access Going-to-the-Sun Road via the West Entrance and the North Fork area of the park from May 26 through September 10, 2023, from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Vehicle reservations will also be required for Two Medicine and Many Glacier valleys and the St. Mary Entrance to Going-to-the-Sun Road on the east side of the park from July 1 through September 10, 2023, from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Vehicle reservations will be available on Recreation.gov.
