This was a wonderful, very clean and cute cottage by the river. It was spacious, perfectly designed, and a great location with the river off the back porch. The town of Big Fork was within walking distance.

These cottages are VERY well maintained and are beautifully decorated. The location could not be better! It’s about a 3 minute walk into town where there are shops, restaurants, galleries and even a playhouse w/ live theater! They are also right on the Swan River and you can walk about a block to a wonderful hiking trail that follows the rushing river.

If you are going to stay in Big Fork this is the only way to go! Right from the time we booked the room til we checked out everything went wonderfully. The cottages were beautifully decorated and very cozy. A special thanks to the general manager who went above and beyond to make our anniversary stay a week to remember. No other place has evertreat us like this. THANK YOU!

The cottages at big fork were a delightful stay for my family! It had everything and more- from amenities to decor and comfort and good vibes! A cute cottage, in a peaceful neighborhood, that was very clean, very tastefully decorated, providing fragrant soaps and lotions, and a bonus of bathrobes and games. Upon request(although short notice), the host provided extra linens which made our stay even more comfortable! Bonus - bakeries, eateries were close by including a coin laundry. Glacier park west entrance was about 40min, making everything very accessible! Would highly recommend staying a few nights here!

We have stayed at the cottages many times, preferring the wonderful ones on the Swan River. They are comfortable and have all you need. Renovations are going on, which didn't bother our stay, and the upgrades will be even lovelier. A great place to stay.

We stay at the cottages every year the first weekend of spring and are never disappointed. Absolutely our favorite place to stay in the area. Always clean, the staff is terrific, and the cottages are perfect. Spacious and cozy, and beautifully decorated. The location is great with many things to do and places to go within walking distance, and other fun areas within a 15-20 minute drive. Plus, this year we were blessed with an upgrade to their largest cottage, the Birch Tree, which we absolutely loved. We will keep coming back!
