It’s a lovely lake home converted to a quaint and quiet inn with only 4-6 rooms all decorated nicely. The home is lovely. The outside could use a good power wash as there were a lot of spider webs. They have two nice decks for enjoying a cocktail while watching the sunset.

Awesome in right on the water. Beautiful views, close to a static small downtown environment with good restaurants, had kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boats for free for use of gas on a beautiful lake. Close to the tiki bar that has music on weekends where you can kayak paddle board too. Easy access to the beautiful lake. How’s were excellent. There was a young man who lives there? He was also extremely helpful and planning a day at glacier national Park, and surprised us, since we were leaving at 4:15 in the morning with lunch is packed and ready to go.

I picked the Inn because of their great reviews. I booked the Geronimo suite for 2 nights for a little get away. When I arrived my room was not ready- which wasn't a big deal but when it was ready I realized it was not the room I had booked. When I spoke to Kelly she dismissed my concern telling me someone else was in the room I booked and that this one was better because it had the ensuite bathroom. Later she did come and offer to move me the next day to the room I had booked but at that point I didn't want to deal with it. The room I had booked was supposed to be in the most private (and I had hoped quiet) part of the inn. The room she placed me in was on the main hall near the front door where I ended up being woken up at 5 am due to people entering. Overall I was just disappointed. I found it odd that they just moved me to a different room without even asking if it was ok- especially since I had paid slightly more when I booked for the room I wanted. That said the room was clean and comfortable and the owner was friendly enough- I just wasn't impressed and would not stay there again.

Awesome Getaway at Bigfork!
This extremely charming inn located on the bay at Bigfork was a wonderful, relaxing, and enjoyable stay. The service from the manager was incredible. Very friendly environment, and it had all the great amenities Including a pontoon boat ride on the lake! I would highly recommend a weekend or week’s stay! Right in town, it was so easy to get around without having to drive.
