Summary: I wanted to take the time to review the property on the Swan river. We held a family reunion there recently. All of us are from Montana. We're very familiar with the area. This location is very special. It is a wonderfully designed array of cabins that sit on one of the most peaceful rivers in Montana. The view of the mountains are beautiful and being able to sit out on the deck and enjoy the river, the sunset, and the stars at night is a great experience. There were plenty of towels, toilet paper, and other needed items. The kitchen is well stocked and there's so many great places to hang out. There are plenty of games, as well as outdoor equipment. As is clear from the description the cabins are separated. They form a tight circle with a nice lawn in the middle. This worked perfectly for our needs because we had several individual families connecting on this trip. But I also think it works great for friends or even coworkers planning to do a great fishing or hiking experience in Montana. This location is very close to some amazing hikes in the Flathead wilderness. Also close to Flathead lake, Bigfork, Kalispell, and of course Glacier. There's great fishing especially on the Swan river. Working with the host was awesome. They are super kind and accommodating. I would not hesitate to stay here in the future. It is a wonderfully peaceful place and the epitome of what I believe is a true essence of the Montana experience. You will love this place!
