Starfall & Stone

West-facing from the penthouse level, this apartment at Eagle Lake frames Big Mountain in alpenglow from the living room, the balcony, and the private hot tub – all at once. A stone fireplace anchors the living space, with accordion glass doors folding open to the balcony when the Montana evenings are too good to ignore. Heated floors in the main suite and en-suite bathrooms add quiet comfort after a day on the mountain. Whitefish Mountain Resort is ten minutes away, and Glacier National Park can be reached within thirty minutes.

Home truths:
* You'll have one garage space plus additional spots in the building's car park.
* The home has wi-fi but as it sits within a mountain development, connectivity can vary.
* A starter set of essentials – soap, paper products, and dish and laundry detergent – is included on arrival. Once those run out, restocking is on you, so it's worth picking up supplies on your way in if you're staying for a longer stretch.
* The S.N.O.W. Bus runs during peak ski and summer seasons – outside those windows you'll want a car to get around, as the home is set within a residential development rather than within walking distance of downtown Whitefish.
