A beautifully designed ski-in ski-out mountain home with a hot tub, pool table, and a gorgeous kitchen that overlooks Whitefish Lake. Guests have access to the Elk Highlands community chair lift that accesses Whitefish Mountain Resort in the winter months. Glacier National Park is a 40-minute drive away.
Designed by Montana Creative Architecture and adorned with finishes and furnishings selected by a professional interior design firm, this mountain modern, classically designed home boasts all the amenities of a five-star hotel. From fine furnishings to art and décor, high-end mattresses, and luxurious linens and towels, no detail has been overlooked.
Clad in Montana moss rock stone, corral board, and grey cedar siding, the exterior entry to this rustic modern ski-in, ski-out home is inviting and perfectly complements its Montana setting. Inside, a mudroom with three ski lockers for clothes and gear and two larger lockers for ski and board storage welcomes you. Heated floors in the mudroom warm cold feet after a day in the snow, and a wall-mounted boot dryer for eight pairs of gloves and boots keeps everyone ready for the next slope-side adventure. Adjacent to the ski locker area is a dual stackable laundry setup.
Off the main entry hall, a stunning powder room features a wall-mounted toilet, a custom concrete floating sink, and a luxurious gunmetal wall-mounted sink faucet. The great room is framed with 8-foot windows and doors that provide panoramic views of Whitefish Lake and the surrounding mountains. With walls clad in Douglas fir and reclaimed European white pine flooring, the open-concept great room is an awe-inspiring gathering place.
The fully equipped kitchen offers high-end appliances, including a 48” range with induction cooktop, dual 30” Fisher and Paykel refrigerator/freezers, a Miele dishwasher, and a Sharp microwave drawer. The spacious island, with leather and steel barstools, seats five. The living area beyond the kitchen features a tunnel gas fireplace that opens to the adjacent dining room, with a 65” television above it. The bi-fold doors of the great room create an ideal indoor-outdoor living space with access to the exterior porch, furnished with an oversized sectional and lounge chairs around a natural gas fire table, plus a built-in gas grill.
Artfully designed bent metal stairs lead to the loft overlooking the great room, furnished with a daybed covered in indoor/outdoor velvet and a pull-out trundle, offering stunning views of Whitefish Lake. Adjacent to the great room is the dining area with seating for ten, and a wet bar with window seat swivel chairs and cocktail tables for conversational, cocktail hour seating.
On the main level, the master bedroom includes a king-size bed, a three-sided glass and steel fireplace, and a sofa at the end of the bed.

Enjoy year-round access to Whitefish Mountain Resort, with the Elk Highlands private community chairlift just steps from the home. Note that the ski lift operation is snow-dependent, starting a few weeks after the resort opens for the season and stopping a few weeks early. In the summer months, the mountain offers treetop rope courses, mountain biking, and alpine sled rides. Hike and explore Glacier National Park, just a 45-minute drive away, or check out the trails in your backyard, including the Holbrook Overlook trail and Danny On Trail. Picturesque downtown Whitefish, just a 10-minute drive away, offers boutique shops, excellent restaurants, and nightlife.
The entire house is available to guests. The house backs up to public forest where a trail system exists (Holbrook Overlook Trailhead). Guests are greeted with a welcome basket of fresh baked local goodies. In person check-ins provided to answer any questions about the home or surrounding areas. External cameras exist that face the driveway and the lower back deck entrance only.
