Perched above the scenic landscape of Whitefish, this inviting two-story retreat captures the essence of mountain living with sweeping views and thoughtfully designed spaces. The main level welcomes with an open-concept layout where the living room, kitchen, and dining area flow seamlessly together, all framed by expansive windows that highlight the surrounding peaks. A spacious deck extends the living area outdoors, offering the perfect setting for grilling, relaxing, or simply taking in the fresh Montana air. The primary suite is privately situated on this level, featuring serene views and a well-appointed ensuite designed for comfort and ease. Downstairs, a vibrant media and game room creates a hub for entertainment, complete with a cozy wood-burning stove, shuffleboard, and ample seating for movie nights. Three additional bedrooms provide flexible accommodations, along with a dedicated workspace for added convenience. Outside, a private backyard oasis awaits with a hot tub, patio, and swing—ideal for unwinding after a day of adventure. Located just minutes from downtown Whitefish and within easy reach of Glacier National Park, this home offers a perfect balance of relaxation, recreation, and unforgettable mountain scenery.

KEY Curation Notes

Ten minutes from downtown Whitefish with mountain views from the main floor living room and deck — a practical location that keeps the resort, town, and Glacier National Park all within easy reach without being in the thick of any of them.
The lower level game room is the standout feature for families. Wood-burning stove, 20-foot shuffleboard table, U-shaped sectional, and a large Smart TV create a proper indoor space for evenings in — not a token game corner, but a room designed around it.
Private hot tub in the backyard with mountain views, plus a double wooden swing and patio — the outdoor spaces are designed for lingering, not just passing through.
King primary en-suite is isolated on the main level, separated from the three lower bedrooms (two queens and a bunk room). The layout works well for parents traveling with kids, or two couples who want a natural separation.
The bunk room includes a dedicated workspace with monitor and printer — a practical detail for longer stays or groups with someone who needs to work remotely.
No air conditioning — standard for Whitefish homes. Fans are in the closets, and the mountain location keeps evenings cool.
Starter supplies are minimal. Stock up in Whitefish before settling in, or KEY.co can arrange grocery delivery so the kitchen is ready on arrival.
