THE LOG BUNKHOUSE is perfect for the kids with its two bedrooms, each with a large loft, a bunkroom with four bunks, and its own bathroom.

What a Spectacular Slice of Paradise!

There were 19 of us from ages 2 to 74. The property was just as described but we didn’t realize the true beauty of the cabins and natural surroundings until we got there. We lacked for nothing in the way of kitchen and dining amenities and adequate beds and baths. The fact that the only full baths (3) were in the main cabin never presented a problem. Dinner was at the huge table on the deck followed by outdoor games, fishing and a huge log fire with plenty of seating. A day in Glacier National Park, on Flathead Lake and on paddle boards on Swan Lake, all in reasonable proximity, added to the fun had by all. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a heavenly experience in Montana.

Best Family Vacation Ever!

What a wonderful location! Our family (8 adults, 5 children) takes a family vacation every summer. We all voted this as our best vacation ever! We loved being right on the river which was great for floating and fishing. The deer visited a couple times a day. The accommodations were perfect as was our host! We enjoyed being close to Bigfork and Glacier National Park. Our family definitely wants to return!

Absolute heaven

We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our group of three families to stay and play in Montana. The view and river were magical and where we started and ended each day. Very homey with everything we needed. Great porch for dining, games and cards. Kids loved the bunkhouse and parents enjoyed the quiet of our own cabins. Good hiking and lakes nearby, and close enough for day trips to Glacier and Whitefish. Thank you, Doug, for sharing your family retreat with us!!

Perfect Setting for Family Reunions/Multiple families

We absolutely loved our stay...the location, the cabins, the porch, and of course the river. We had an extend family reunion(and kids from 9 to young adults) and to a family we all agreed the property exceeded our expectations. Set up perfectly for 30+ to play, converse, sit in water etc. and yet be in the "same" location. Good communication, reasonable pricing, and priceless location for groups like this. We'll be back...we loved it!

Amazaing!

This place was perfect. We caught a bunch of fish right off the deck, swam in the refreshing river, played games, & enjoyed the long summer nights! 10/10 would recommend. One thing noteworthy. For twenty guys, we had enough wifi to connect to for all of us. We weren't there to be on our cell phones but were able to have enough to connect with freidns and family who weren't with us.

Perfect Family Gathering

After not being able to see our family for over a year, this was the perfect retreat. Our four sons and their families made 12 of us, and everyone had room to gather as well as their own space. Everything we needed was there; the property is well stocked with just about everything you can think of. To be there together in such an incredibly beautiful location was a real treat, and the family is already talking about our next trip. True, there is no cell service, but the internet worked very well. One son had an online meeting he had to do, and he found that the signal in the office in the main house was stronger than in the cabins. One night the power went out and it meant everyone had to put down their phones. I loved it!

FANTASTIC FAMILY FLEXCATION!

Location, location, location! We looked at many retreats and chose this one based on: Location Remote Riverside Retreat was absolutely perfect for our family flexcation, flyfishing, floating, and hiking! Glacier International Airport - 60 minutes north. Glacier National Park - 90 minutes north. Cabins Main Cabin – Cozy two bedrooms, three bathrooms. We sat on the large deck overlooking the river every night to watch the sunset over the mountains as the river rolled by. Nice, well-equipped kitchen with an oven, microwave, dishwasher, two fridges, and even a small fridge for beer/soda. Convenient washer and dryer on property and nice new linens and towels. Bunkhouse – Perfect for the kids! Plenty of indoor and outdoor games. Didn’t hear “I’m bored” once! Guest Cabins – Three additional two-story cabins circle the large lawn making for a very family-centric environment. Outside All the cabins were lit up with lights for plenty of light at night. We even caught sight of a few deer passing through! Fantastic firepit right out in front of the main cabin deck was perfect for s'mores. Main deck has a fun foosball table and a handcrafted pool table. WIFI worked great for our remote phone counseling jobs and our six kids school zoom classes and nightly movie binges. We even FaceTimed Grandma and Grandpa to include them in some of the fun. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!

Serenity Now :)

Doug, our host did a wonderful job helping us settle in to his beautiful and warm cabin. We spent every evening on the porch, watching the sunset, overlooking the Swan River. The setting was serene and secluded. And the cabin was well stocked with everything we needed for our week in the Swan Valley. We highly recommend staying at Doug’s park-like setting. We only used the main cabin, but clearly they could accommodate multiple families with the multiple cabins on property. When Mother Nature tossed us a challenge, Doug was very quick to help us out. Overall, we had a great and memorable time.

No cell service and basically no wifi

First, I understand the point for many is get off the grid. And if you want a vacation guaranteed not to be able to use your phone 90% of the trip, this is the place for you. There is ZERO cell reception. Your only choices are the owners land line and wifi calling. So pair that with horrible wifi (even with the 3 extenders we bought after arriving) & you get nothing. For our working trip this was unacceptable. I communicated my outrage that the listing does not mention this to the owner as soon as I booked & the data was finally provided in the details of the booking only. This is not okay though his answer was worse. His answer was simply that they currently had a tech company running their business & have had zero complaints. After staying there myself I know this is impossible & further lies told by the owner. His son arrived on our property the third day to fix the sprinklers and we discussed this. It got no better despite his attempts & then two additional days of him coming to the property still no better. Finally he said it could only handle 5 devices. So basically unless you are 1 single family with probably just one child, you will have zero ways to communicate to the outside world, search for activities to do or even ask the owner for help through VRBO where there is a record of your conversation. This is not per the listing. Now that that is out of the way, the cabins are decent as long as you’re okay with no running water, which didn’t bother us. The main cabin has 3 full bathrooms With showers (though don’t try to shower at the exact same time as another). The bunk house has 1 toilet and cold water only and the other 3 cabins each have 2 beds & no running water, toilet, etc. The “first cabin” had a baby gate which was great for me, my husband and our 18 mo old. After purchasing a pack n play we discovered they had one in the 2nd cabin. So now they have 2 if any of you are bringing littles. They had 2 fridges which was very convenient for our 3 families all with kids ranging 6 mo to 13 years. We didn’t use their games except fooseball. But they do have a pool table on the deck as well. There are no dressers anywhere on property. The space is definitely serene, though that water is very frigid so please go in prepared for that. There is deer that come into the property constantly & while we were warned of bears & mountain lions none appeared on our trip Highly recommend Narrowpath Adventures!!!!!!

Our stay here was far beyond expectation. The property looks even better in person, the setting is beyond compare, and amenities made our week comfortable. The family who owns the property has clearly have taken good care of it and have incorporated their personal touches and skills into the character of the buildings. The setting is serene and right on the river with a mountain backdrop. Would absolutely recommend to family and friends and will likely try to use this spot for a reunion in the future.

Better than the pictures

We had a group of 7 families, 22 people total, and this beautiful property in a gorgeous location housed us all well. It was a priority for us to be able to stay in close proximity to each other so that we could share all our meals and late night conversations. We cooked all our meals easily in the kitchen/2 gas grills. We all ate on the generous covered deck. We passed the evenings around the fire pit, on the deck, and/or in the living room. That we could all share all this space AND give every adult their own room was great. The teens loved sharing the bunkroom. Younger kids were able to stay with/near their parents. We waded/floated in the river everyday. The kids loved looking for frogs and skipping stones. Every morning we enjoyed eating breakfast while looking out over the river. There were lots of cozy places to curl up with a book/take a nap. We were also very impressed by all the artistic touches and evidence of impressive woodworking and copper-smithing skills throughout the property. Nearby (within an hour drive) we found lots of hiking - including Glacier National Park, tube rentals to float down the river, horseback riding, and even a sailboat ride in Flathead Lake. We did all our major shopping for the week in Kalispell and Missoula. There are 2 large fridges in the main cabin + 1 small fridge. The smaller cabins also each have little fridges. Driving our garbage 25 miles to the transfer station was the biggest downside, but since we were out and about during the week, we were able to take care of it without too much inconvenience. But make sure the last car to leave has room for that last bag or two. Also note that the three small cabins have no running water or toilets at all. The toilet that you’d think would be least disruptive to use for middle of the night runs to the potty is a loud, gravity-flushing “Growler”. By the end of our stay we were all accustomed to the loud flush. We would have been happy to stay another week. We would strongly recommend this property to other large, outdoor-loving groups.
