KEY Curation Notes

Perched on the wooded shoreline of Whitefish Lake in a three-story home built into the hillside, with floor-to-ceiling views of the lake and surrounding mountains from every level. This is a lake-first property — not ski-adjacent, and worth booking on that basis.
Accordion doors on the main level open the kitchen and living room fully onto an expansive deck with a private hot tub, gas grill, and unobstructed lake views — the indoor-outdoor flow is the defining feature of the interior.
Sleeping configuration is a king master on the upper level with private patio and lake views, two queens on the upper level and main floor (one with ensuite), and a twin-over-twin bunk room on the upper level. The main-floor queen shares its bathroom with the common areas — worth knowing for a group of eight.
Lake access is shared community beach, a 10-minute walk or short drive down the road. There is no private dock or direct waterfront access from the property itself.
11 minutes to downtown Whitefish, 20 minutes to Whitefish Mountain Resort, and 46 minutes to Glacier National Park — well-positioned for summer use across all three.
Starter supplies are minimal — the kit covers basics but not a full first-night grocery run. KEY.co can arrange grocery delivery before arrival.
WiFi speeds are not guaranteed per the listing. Pack a hotspot if remote work or heavy streaming is part of the plan.
