Perfect quiet location in downtown Bigfork

This cute little loft apartment was so handy and close to everything you would need in Bigfork. The bed was amazing and the kitchen had everything you would need. The only thing I wish I had Was a patio chair to sit outside in the morning with my coffee. I got creative and took out a dining chair and loved it!

Cozy, centrally located Bigfork apartment

The best part of Second Story Hideaway was its central location in Bigfork, ideal for exploring town and, especially, taking a nice walk along the Swan River, just up the street. The only downside for us was that the A/C was in the living room, and not the bedroom, so it was a bit warm in the sleeping area. But there was a fan there and temperatures cooled over night, though not until around 5 or 6am. But overall a cute, well located place, with parking and most amenities inside.

Apartment downtown Big Fork

Quaint, clean and private. A gem of a find! A fully stocked kitchen, a well supplied bathroom and a king size super comfy bed. Views from all windows. I flew in for a health conference and found plenty of walking distance places to eat and shop.

Comfortable and Convenient

We enjoyed our stay in the "Second Story Hideaway" in Bigfork. It was very clean and nicely furnished. It's in a convenient location to access shops, restaurants and walks along the Swan River and parks around Flathead Lake as well as Glacier National Park. Our hosts were helpful in recommending different sights in the area.

This rental is a wonderful place to stay. We rent this place every summer. It is a perfect getaway place. The location is absolutely perfect for downtown, walking distance. The rental is very clean, easy access, very cozy place. It has its own parking which is great for the busy downtown.

Great place to stay

This property is a great place to stay while in the Flathead lake area. Everything is absolutely immaculate, comfy, and cozy. Very clean and well kept. The town of Big Fork is just wonderful, lake is beautiful and close to the grandeur of Glacier Park. I liked that you just park your car and walk and visit all the cool shops in Big Fork and great adventures on the lake. You can't find a more perfect place to stay and take a wonderful vacation!!
