3 Bedroom Cabin in Kalispell, Bigfork
The Ranchetts Retreat is an almost new log accented 1600 SF home built on a one acre lot within the rural Ranchetts neighborhood situated west of Riverside Road located 5 miles north of the quaint community of Bigfork, which is situated on the Swan River Bay adjacent to Flathead Lake. The Glacier International Airport is approximately 22 miles to the Northwest. The Glacier National Park entrance at the village of West Glacier is only 33 miles away. The delightful town of Whitefish is 30 miles distant and all the shopping a person could want is located in Kalispell, about 18 miles to the Northwest. Many restaurants are located in nearby Bigfork and the surrounds.
The recently retired owners conceived the idea of building this home as a way of staying in the building profession and commenced construction in July 2018. This has been a labor of love intensive project for the owners who made this home as functional as can be, drawing from their personal and professional experience over a lifetime. Now that it is completed, they decided not to sell so placed it on the short term rental market so others can share its beauty and functionality.
The Ranchetts Retreat is a 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bathroom home featuring a spacious master bedroom with full double vanity bath on the lower level with private views to the south across a 100 acre field with the Swan Mountains and the Flathead River in the backdrop. This room features a beautiful log king size bed that will surely amaze the lucky occupants. A smart television is mounted on the wall for easy viewing from bed. The owners have provided special decorating touches keeping in mind the overall log accented cabin theme. Two smaller mirror imaged bedrooms are located upstairs with a shared full bath between which we named the Jack and Jill rooms. The Jack room boasts private views to the south and west with a queen size rustic bed and room accents. The Jill room has a 3 person bunk bed featuring a double bed below and single above. Each bedroom has its own wall mounted smart television viewed easily from the beds.
You will love the large map of the Flathead Lake and surrounds which is on display in the Upper Foyer between bedrooms. The adjacent loft area overlooks the great room below and has a small desk for those who need to work from home. The great room below consists of a sitting area around a Jodel propane heat stove and 65 inch smart television and an adjacent beautiful desk with Wifi which can be used as a primary work from home station. A rustic dining table seats 7 and is adjacent to a 3 person bar on the kitchen island for more guests if needed. The great room is lit with a spectacular wagon wheel chandelier. Granite countertops accent the fully equipped kitchen with plenty of counter and cupboard space which contain a nice selection of dishes and flatware and cooking utensils which will make kitchen cooking a delight. A Keurig coffee machine is provided along with several pods for regular and decaffeinated coffee. A conventional drip coffee percolator with filters is also provided.
There is no central air conditioning which is typically not a problem in the Flathead Valley. For your comfort, each bedroom has a ceiling fan and also a small ceiling fan in the upper foyer. The great room has a large ceiling fan to keep the air circulating throughout. Typically the outside temperature at night drops about 20 degrees from the daytime, so most residents open the screened windows at night and close them during the day during a heat wave. The Ranchetts Retreat was constructed to minimize solar gain through the use of low-emissivity windows and with the covered decks on the east and south sides of the cabin to minimize direct sunlight from shining into the cabin. We do have a portable air conditioning window unit on the premises in the locked storage area under the stairs that can be set up if requested.
A new Weber gas grill is located adjacent to a picnic table on the southern covered deck which is connected to the unit’s central propane tank, so running out of fuel is never a problem. Several outdoor chairs are provided and there is a fire pit in the back yard with plenty of wood.
The property is located ¼ mile from a Flathead County boat launch and park on the beautiful navigable Flathead River. The spectacular Flathead Lake with all of it's amenities is approximately 5 miles to the South by boat.
