Welcome to Hidden Valley Rustic Retreat!
Out here, mornings start with coffee in hand and deer wandering through the back woods. Hidden Valley Rustic Retreat sits on 1.8 acres of open meadow and tall pines just outside Whitefish, with a fenced yard where the dog can stretch its legs. You're close enough for easy days at Whitefish Mountain Resort, downtown and Glacier National Park, yet far enough out that it feels like your own corner of Montana.
Spend the day chasing powder or hitting the trails, then come home to vaulted ceilings, warm wood floors and a wood-burning stove ready to be lit. The king bedroom sits on the main level with doors out to the deck. Downstairs, a queen bedroom and a room with two twin beds give everyone their own place to crash, and a queen bed up in the loft makes room for two more, with a desk for anyone who needs to check in on work. Whether it's your ski crew, a couple of families or old friends catching up, the downstairs family room means there is always a second spot to spread out. Pour a drink, put on some music and gather around the live-edge table for dinner.
When the sun drops, light the stone fire pit, fire up the pellet grill and watch the meadow turn gold from the wraparound deck. Warm up in the sauna, then listen for the owls as the stars come out. It's the kind of place that makes it hard to pack up and head home.
Winter
Hit the slopes at Whitefish Mountain Resort, offering over 3,000 skiable acres, 14 lifts, and terrain for all experience levels -- all paired with breathtaking mountain and lake views. Ranked #3 Resort in the West by Ski Magazine readers, Whitefish delivers world-class skiing without crowds. Beyond the slopes, explore snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, or a peaceful winter hike. When you're ready to warm up, stroll through downtown Whitefish, filled with cozy cafes, galleries, and local shops. Don't miss the iconic Whitefish Winter Carnival, featuring parades, skijoring, and small-town charm at its best.
Summer
When the snow melts, Whitefish becomes an outdoor playground. Spend sunny days on Whitefish Lake or explore over 100 lakes and rivers within 100 miles, including legendary Flathead Lake -- the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. At Whitefish Mountain Resort, summer brings mountain biking, hiking, zip-lining, ropes courses, alpine slides, and scenic gondola rides with panoramic Glacier National Park views. Glacier is just a 45-minute drive away, perfect for a day trip to the Going-to-the-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, or one of its 70+ hiking trails. For local flavor, explore the Whitefish Trail System (43 miles of hiking and biking), enjoy local breweries, distilleries, golf courses, and art galleries, and catch seasonal events like Huckleberry Days, farmers markets, rodeos, and the Under the Big Sky Music Festival.
Getting Around
Whitefish offers a FREE Snow Bus during peak winter and summer seasons, and Uber, Lyft and taxis are available. This property is located outside of downtown Whitefish. You will need to drive to the nearest Snow Bus stop for pick-up.
