Restored Historic Home Steps from Downtown Whitefish, Sleeps up to 9

The "Houston" House is a newly restored historic home located in the heart of downtown Whitefish and minutes from Big Mountain Ski Resort. The restoration project has been featured in the Daily Interlake and Whitefish Pilot. The home is located on Central Avenue and steps away from the restaurants and shops in downtown Whitefish and a mere block from Baker Park and the Whitefish River Trail System. Free Snow Bus shuttles to Big Mountain ski resort. The home was named after Dr. Houston who was the first town doctor and he lived in the house with his family in 1905. The town hospital was immediately behind the house.

The Houston House shares the same property with the Carriage House (which is rented separately). The Carriage House is located on the back of the property and has its own small patio. The access to the Carriage House is through the same back fence gate shared by the Houston House.

Houston House in Whitefish is a very special home dating to the founding of the town and has been updated to modern standards with loving care by its owners. The home has maintained its charm and character while offering all the modern conveniences. It has 1st class accessories, appliances and functionality and was well stocked as a home away from home. The in town location is awesome providing easy walking access to all the town has to offer. It is also convenient to the broader area via auto including Glacier National Park, fly fishing the Flathead river, FCA airport and surrounding towns. Our hosts couldn’t have been more engaged immediately responding to questions and offering guidance on local activities. We highly recommend Houston House and hope to enjoy it again on future visits.
