Slice of Heaven

Shea was a very responsive host. The house was amazing! We loved opening the glass garage door to the big screened in porch….so unique. The deck was huge and provided a great view of nature. The house was fully stocked and clean. Conveniently located close to Whitefish and just an hour away from Glacier. Highly recommend!

Spencer Mountain Cabin

The Spencer Mountain Cabin was the PERFECT choice for our exploration of the Glacier NP and Flathead Valley. We traveled with another couple for our hiking adventures. The cabin is tastefully decorated - very comfortable and squeaky clean. Perfect remote location but close to town as well. Shea did a tremendous job communicating and keeping us updated throughout our stay. Thank you to Shea and Jonathan for hosting! Look forward to our return!

GNP Boys Trip!

Myself and 7 friends had a blast exploring the area and GNP! The cabin was the perfect place to use as a home base during our trip. Just far enough away from Whitefish/GNP to feel private, yet close enough to adventure and see everything we had planned. Shea was a great host and worked with us quickly to resolve any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Great stay!

Our family of 6 really enjoyed our stay at the Spencer Mountain cabin! We were only a short drive into Whitefish area and not too far from Glacier NP. Our family loved the corn hole game and ping pong! The kitchen was well equipped for making our own meals, along with the charcoal grill outside. Plenty of sleeping space and places to chill and hang out! We would love to stay here again if we make it back to Montana! Shea was a great host and answered questions and gave great suggestions on the area!

Amazing Stay

We had an incredible experience both at the cabin and in the area. Shae was super to work with and the cabin was exactly as pictured. We saw deer in the mornings and loved listening to the wind chimes on the deck. Kitchen has all the furnishings as we cooked breakfast each day there. The house was super clean and overall it was exactly what we were looking and hoping for! Thanks so much for hosting us and providing such a first class experience! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends. Guy

Quiet and relaxing

This was nestled in the woods and was so quiet. While sitting on the screened in porch, it was so quiet that I heard splashing in the nearby river. Shortly thereafter, a bear walks across the property. Lots of wildlife! Owners had amazing communication. Amenities were top notch and perfect for our family. It was a great place to unwind and disconnect. Perfect vacation get away.

Country Home along Stillwater Creek

We had a wonderful time at the listed property and in adjacent community of Whitefish. The accommodations at referenced property were welcoming and homey. We enjoyed time together on the porches with meals and viewing the meadow below. The home is modern, well kept, and has plenty of beds for a family. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and the stove made cooking in easy. I would recommend the property if you are looking for a place to get away and relax.

Fantastic Cabin

The Spencer Mountain Cabin was the perfect place for our family vacation. The cabin was clean and beautiful with nice linens and a fully stocked kitchen. Five stars isn’t really a fair rating, this cabin deserves more! The house decorations and furnishings gave the feel of a wonderful mountain retreat. The location was quiet, yet close enough to everything we wanted to do. I would highly recommend the Spencer Mountain Cabin to anyone looking for the perfect Montana location.

We had a fantastic summer stay at the Spencer Mountain Cabin. The pictures don't do the inside of the house justice - it is super well-maintained, very clean, and appointed with everything you could need.

Perfect location for our family vacation!

Shea & Jonathan’s cabin is absolutely stunning. Exactly as pictured, this amazing property is beautiful, quiet, and close to great amenities. Whitefish is just a 15 minute drive away, and you can reach the west entrance of Glacier National Park in 45 minutes or less. The cabin is stocked with everything you could possibly need, and our family especially enjoyed the backyard river with the available kayaks. We saw lots of wildlife on our paddling adventures, including a small black bear! We had 6 adults in our family, and we all fit very comfortably into the space. The hammock on the back deck as well as the attached screen porch were great places to spread out and relax. This will definitely be one of our favorite vacations, thanks in large part to the stay at Spencer Mountain cabin. Thank you!!!

Exceptional Place

Everything about this place is exceptional. This was, hands down, the best VRBO property our group has ever stayed. The detail of the home design and the thoughtfulness of the furnishings are topics of conversation during your entire stay. The communication with the owner is excellent. Don’t look any further. If you can rent this place, do it before someone else does. I was there for a Girl’s Weekend, but I want to come back just so my family can experience this great home and wonderful area.

Montana Wedding

We were blessed to find Spencer Mountain cabin after a covid housing cancellation left us with no place to stay and a wedding already planned. Shea is the most gracious host we have come across in our travels. Shea is responsive, answered all questions, gave us a heads up on GNP restrictions and even helped us plan some wedding events!! The cabin and property is just wonderful. Hiking, kayaking steps away. Close to town but private location. We had both the bride and groom's family at the cabin. Comfortable with enough privacy for all 7 of us. Our daughter and new son-in-law already are talking about when we can all return!
