Whitefish, Montana

Over the Fourth of July weekend we rented a three bedroom condo in Whitefish, MT with some friends. Although we had visited Whitefish a couple times in the past on our way to Glacier National Park, we had never spent any significant time there. We realized once we were there the four days we had planned to be there was not nearly enough time to enjoy all Whitefish, MT had to offer. During our time there we spent a morning hiking up Big Mountain, and then riding the gondola back down, another morning enjoying the alpine slides and chairlift, an afternoon swimming in Whitefish Lake, a couple dinners in downtown Whitefish and an afternoon at Stumptown Marketplace.

When strangers offer to take our photograph I jump at the opportunity.

The location of the condo was perfect because it was close to Glacier National Park where we spent a majority of our time hiking, but then also close to other points of interest. The condo we rented was tastefully decorated, had a well stocked kitchen, a small patio with a view of the mountain and a community hot tub. We had never used VRBO before and we were happy with the ease in which we were able to book our stay. I would go back to Whitefish, MT in a heartbeat, it is the perfect combination of solitude, beauty and relaxation.
