    From fireplace toward the kitchen.

    I can't say anything to accurately describe my visit here to Bridge Street Cottages other than FLAWLESS. My wife and I are from California and were on a Montana road trip celebrating her 30th birthday when we stumbled upon this wonderful gem. We drove and ended up in the quaint town of Bigfork, which we both loved. I walked into the Cottage's office and was met with the brightest smile from any employee I'd come across in a long time. Sally was pleasantly welcoming and made me feel as if I was coming home from college after not seeing my own mom. We talked it up for about 15 minutes before I even asked if there were any rooms available. She told me there were two, one standard cottage with a small kitchenette area and a full cottage with the whole shebang. She even insisted on showing me both units. We walked into the full cottage and was at a loss for words. The place was nicer and bigger than my house. Then off to the smaller one, and just as cool! Here's the run down. Full size cottage seemed to be about 1k square ft of living space. Large living room with a tv and fireplace but why watch TV, back porch where we spent 75% of our time, full kitchen, stove, sink, coffee maker, every utensil, pot and pan you'll need, his and her bathroom sinks, large bathroom and shower, so much to list!! Smaller cottage was about 600 square ft without the full living room and kitchen. I did see the coffee maker, nice bathroom and small love seat. I would have been perfectly happy staying in this room, but your wife only turns 30 once. Back at the office for paper work and I was fortunate enough to meet the owner Walt. Such a nice guy. Can't say I've run into nicer people who treated us like family. My wife and I hope to truly make this place a tradition until I can convince her to move up that way.

    We haven't even been here 24 hours, but this place sure feels like home! From the minute we arrived, we knew we made an awesome choice booking a cottage at this place. The room is absolutely perfect! The porch is so peaceful, and the location is within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants & galleries in town. We're already planning a return trip & hope to make this place our summer escape every year!!! S

    We took two day-trips to Glacier National Park, a 45 minute drive to hike and to sightsee.

And, what a pleasant surprise that was! I was greeted by the General Manager, Suzanne, who was so very helpful and accommodating, even though she was swamped with so many locals just looking to shower and get warm. That included a wedding party that was booked somewhere else, that unfortunately had also lost power. Twenty-six needed rooms and Suzanne and her crew made the wedding party VERY happy! I can't say enough about every staff member, but special thanks to Shelia and Cindy for the yummy breakfast buffet! Make sure you leave a big tip, because the breakfast is free .

This is really Montana at its best with Big Sky's hospitality and a deep sense of hospitality. Our cowboy Jordan checked us in the only remaining executive suite, after my brother in law kindly offer that room to us. The room is super spacious and comfortable with the rustic charm of western comfort! Their Wi-Fi was not working properly and Jordan got it fixed in a minute. Their blanket service is fantastic with super clean and individual plastic cover. Overall this is by far the best "Best Western" I have had the chance to visit. A little bit outdated but everything is top notch! Happy Fourth of July to all Yelpers!

Going into this trip I didn't know much, other than they had horses and that was what I wanted to do - ride horses. We arrived really early in the morning and was picked up at the airport, which was the size of a postage stamp. It was really easy to find our person, who grabbed our bags and loaded them into the trailer while we sat in the van. Met some others that were on the trip on the way to the lodge. Upon arrival they had a tent setup in the front where they greeted us, gave us a bag with a map of the property and list of that week's activities, told us our rooms weren't ready yet but they would find us when they were. Now - I'm going to note that they said they would find us when our room was ready and I didn't think they really would. We continued to check in to see when the room would be ready, but then later I saw them literally hunting someone down to give her keys - so they will indeed find you. When we checked in the room was a standard lodge room, we had a fridge but our friends didn't, in mentioning this in passing to the staff they brought them a fridge. Talk about service! We spent the next four days riding horses mostly, but also enjoying the company of the other guests and hearing stories from the staff. While we were really heavy on the horse rides we also enjoyed taking a tour of the elk preserve and clay sporting. We got a ride up to the yoga spot for a view (weren't too keen on hiking up there) and spent a good amount of time in the bar with fellow guests chatting up the staff. Everyone was amazing and so accommodating- I had said it was a bucket list trip but the staff at the Averill ranch has me seriously considering returning next year. Thank you for the memories.

I had five kids in the car and when we got there, the place was a dumpster dive. The pictures are completely misleading and they were trying to charge me $300 a night for an El crapo room that was ridiculous. I'm in the process of disputing the charges. We didn't even stay. We left and went down to the hotel in Polson, which was the casino hotel. Very very nice... I just have to say that anybody out there looking at this place should I would pass they are deceptive and when you get there is nobody at the office and you can't reach absolutely nobody to dispute your issues with.. I highly recommend go somewhere else and completely leave this place behind. I don't even know they're still in business

    Wow! What an absolutely incredible place!…read more Our stay at Flathead Lake Resort began when we pulled up and Natasha, one of the staff members greeted us with a giant, genuine smile on her face and a silly greeting. Throughout the stay, her, Jack, and the other staff at the resort, truly helped create a feeling of community, appreciation and fun! My three friends and I stayed in the Anker cabin, which I believe is one of their largest spaces. It was the perfect size for four of us for a weekend getaway. The space has a large bedroom with a wall down the middle, creating two bedrooms, each with a bed, as well as a futon in the living room. There is a good sized living room, a small porch, a kitchen and a bathroom. The space is clean and simply decorated. The beds were kinda weird (I don't know how to explain why) but they were surprisingly comfortable. We were so grateful to be provided with two large fans. At night time, we opened the windows and turned on the fans and it cancelled out all outside noises and made for a very comfortable sleep. We were all amazed at how well we slept every single night that we were here. One of the best parts of staying at this resort is that they have a small private beach from that is just for people staying here. To be honest, before I arrived, I was concerned about the small size of the beach, but half of the time that we went down there, it was just our group and a few other people. And there were a few times that we went down and there were around 10-15 people but everyone was super friendly and we had some great conversations. Everyone we met had a smile on their face and was having a great time. One night, we even had a fire right by the lake with about 8 other people and just had the best time telling stories and laughing. I woke up every morning before my friends and went to sit down by the lake by myself to drink coffee and enjoy the gorgeous scenery. One morning, I went to the lake around 7 am and the lake was crystal clean so all of the surrounding mountains were perfectly reflected into the lake creating a gorgeous symmetrical landscape. I also watched hawks and water birds fly by, as well as deer munching on the trees in a nearby yard. One day, my friends and I rented two paddleboards and two kayaks from the resort to spend the day on the lake. This was probably my favorite part of our entire weekend here. The 'boats' were really affordable for a half day and the experience was amazing. The lake is huge and breathtakingly beautiful as it is surrounded by beautiful mountains and estates. We were grateful to have a bald eagle fly over us with a fish in it's claws. We also saw a bunch of seagulls and a few fish swimming below us. This lake is very clear and even in deep areas, you can see through the waters to the rocks on the bottom. It's truly spectacular. I can't say enough amazing things about this resort and can't wait to come back again in the future. So incredible!
