Wedding bless.

My son got married in Katispell and I chose this house for location to everything we had going on. The house is amazing and the location was perfect. The few items that I felt needed attention was some of the light were burned out some of the light switches didn’t work. There were not real good directions on starting the fireplaces Some of the mattresses could be replaced. It’s a rental and I fully understand but for what we paid I feel there could have been a little more attention given to some of these items in the house. The house manger was very accommodating to any questions that I had in setting things up before we got there and on our move in time. Overall I would consider this house agin if coming back to the Katispell area.

Beautiful home and great location

The house is beautiful, spacious, and very well stocked. The location is ideal and the views are amazing. There were some things that needed maintenance and were minor inconveniences: three of the four stovetop burner knobs were missing so we had to move the one around when cooking with more than one burner; the outdoor gas grills did not work; and the two doors leading to the outside on the lower level did not open. The issue with the doors (which was a safety concern) was addressed right away and one of the two was fixed. The grills were not an issue for us since we probably wouldn't have used them, but the missing stove top burner knobs were an inconvenience. Overall, in the big picture, these were minor issues that did not detract from our experience. We had a wonderful time and would definitely go back to this property. It's a lovely home in a great location and we made many lasting family memories during our stay.
