Bigfork Summer Playhouse
My son is a performer at the Playhouse this summer, and my family wanted to travel see him from NC. Not only was this location perfect for nightly walks to the theatre, it had every amenity we could want or need, including a beautiful view of the lake. Wendy was friendly and responsive from booking through the stay. We are hoping to return next summer!

Additional place needed for family trip
The property was amazing! Very clean & updated! Wendy, property manager, was great! Checked to make sure you had everything you needed, recommended a boat company that was amazing & was available should we needed her. Had a large group visiting my parents & needed just an additional spot. Would recommend this location to friends & will stay there again!

Exceeded Expectations
This was a perfect spot for us. Plenty of room for the two of us. The huge porch was amazing. We enjoyed sitting out there and looking across at the bay. The unit was very clean and had everything guests might need. Linens were great and bed very comfortable. We could walk most anywhere we wanted to go. Restaurants, shopping and the theatre were just around the corner. We took in two plays during the week we were there. We’ll be back!

Amazing Property
Perfect location!!! Unit is fully stocked with anything you need. Huge balcony overlooking bay - which our dog absolutely loved- and all of the activity below. We arrived a day early and Shannon allowed us to check in that evening, saving us the scramble of finding somewhere to stay on the day before 4th of July! Amazing property and amazing host! Will definitely be back!

Relaxing, clean, central stay in Big Fork.
Shannon was an amazing host. She communicated quickly and answered any questions we had. The gift basket filled with yummy treats and water bottles was an unexpected and welcome surprise. The veranda was AMAZING with its large and relaxing view over the water. I loved the super soft and clean bed linens. Thank you for using soft fitted sheets!!! That was my favorite part. Overall incredible stay!
