Skyline & Snow

That 800 sq ft rooftop deck – with a private hot tub and open mountain views above Whitefish – is reason enough to book this penthouse apartment. Inside, the fireplace-anchored living room keeps the mountain scenery front and centre, and there's a bunk room that makes it a natural fit for families or groups. The location ties it all together: downtown shops and restaurants are on your doorstep, the free S.N.O.W. Bus to Whitefish Mountain Resort stops nearby, and Glacier National Park is roughly a thirty-five-minute drive away.

Home truths:
* The underground garage fits one vehicle under 6 ft tall. If you're arriving in a larger SUV, van, or roof-racked car, you'll need to rely on street parking instead.
* A starter set of consumables – soap, paper products, dish and laundry detergent, and similar essentials – is provided on arrival. Once that runs out, restocking is down to you, so it's worth picking up supplies early in your stay if you're staying for more than a few nights.
* One of the bedrooms has a queen-over-queen bunk bed that can sleep up to four people – we think it might be best suited to children.
