We could not have dreamed of a better more picturesque location, the view is spectacular; and there were some remarkable sunsets on the snow-capped mountains. The peacefulness of the island is unmatched, it's you and raw nature. It felt like the Presidential Getaway, an unreal view and amazing privacy. We kept pinching ourselves thinking it was too good of a deal to be true.
The pontoon was in great shape and an easy, quick commute to the island. It did require a little bit of boat knowledge to successfully navigate around the shallow areas, but we had no problem.
The cabin itself was absolutely perfect for the 2 of us, and could have easily housed 4 more. It was very well appointed, extremely cozy, fantastic panoramic view. The bedrooms are not large but they are very comfortable, quiet and dark at night. The kitchen was great and well stocked, and the bath was just great as well, with plenty of soft towels; all we needed.
I really can't think of a negative thing to say other than possibly the boat commute could be tricky in poor weather. But the pontoon does have overhead cover.
We will be highly recommending this location to all of our friends. They could not believe the pictures we were taking from the home. Overlooking Strawberry Mountain and others, it was spectacular.
The phone/data service was not only good but a very strong signal, we had full use of our phones and devices on the island. There's no wifi on the island, but our phone signal was 5 bars.
It was a very quick 10 minute commute to the cool town of BigFork with great views of Flathead Lake. It was also a quick 45 minutes to the main West entrance of Glacier National Park; with a beautiful and scenic drive.
We couldn't more highly recommend this home; we will definitely be sending others.
We had a quick issue with the toilet that was resolved immediately by Shannon at Valley Maintenance. They were super helpful and also left us several protein bars and snacks to help fuel our Spartan Race.
All in all, just fantastic. We literally felt like we were at the top of the world. #winning
