Family Vacation

It was a spectacular, peaceful retreat for our family vacation. The property was remote enough to bask in the forest and feel like no one was around. There's a giant Osprey nest close so we had entertainment any also saw Deer and Turkeys. There's a fully stocked kitchen, barbecue and lots of great suggestions for activities. We really enjoyed ourselves and can't recommend it more..

Gorgeous home and views

Our extended family had a wonderful stay during our visit to the Glacier NP area. The home was furnished beautifully with great themed rooms and an eye for anything one might need while vacationing in Montana. The view from the back patio was gorgeous and felt like were in a national park (minus the crowds) while eating meals or relaxing there. There is also an active osprey nest near the patio which was fascinating to observe. Would definitely stay again if visiting the area!

We booked a year in advance and had great anticipation for our family vacation. This property was everything we hoped and more. Pictures do not do it justice. Oh, that view!! Bigfork, Kalispell and Glacier National Park are all in decent driving distance. This was my first but will not be my last trip to Montana and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kalli again.

Mystic Mountain is Magnificent

This was a great home to stay in. Kalli was a fantastic host, the home and property were outstanding, and the view is out of this world. It was a great base for allowing us to explore the Big Fork and Glacier National Park Area. Our experience at Mystic Mountain was tremendous, and I attribute that to the work that Kalli puts in making this a great place to stay and explore, including coolers, amenities to make your outdoor experience great, including canoes, games, recreational activities (pool, ping pong, etc). The best part is enjoying the back deck, looking at the mountains while you enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening dinner after a great day in the park. You will be very hard pressed to find a nicer VRBO and a better host than Kalli. We had a great trip. Thank you.

We just came back from a wonderful family vacation at the Mystic Mountain Retreat, which exceeded our expectations. The house was impeccably clean, and the hosts obviously pay great attention to every detail to make your stay as comfortable and easy as possible. The views are extraordinary, and the property itself is beautiful. Would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking for a special vacation venue in north Montana.

Family Vacation

If you’re looking for the perfect spot for your next family vacation, you have found it. Mystic Mountain is situated on a gorgeous property in Bigfork, with a spectacular view of a lake and the mountains. My husband and I and our three adult children with their significant others met here for a week of reunion and relaxation. The house is appointed with everything you could need and more. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and spacious, as well as beautifully decorated, each with their own theme. The kitchen/great room area was wonderful for cooking and eating meals, as well as relaxing with games, puzzles, and enjoying the amazing view. Kalli is a great host, answering questions with our booking, as well as providing tons of information about the property and area. We visited Glacier National Park several times, but also thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house: fishing, sitting on the dock, painting rocks on the deck, boating in the lake, toasting marshmallows over the firepit, playing horseshoes, table tennis, pool, darts, and just walking around the trails on the property and enjoying the quiet. This vacation was everything we hoped it would be and more. Thank you Kalli!

We had a wonderful stay at Mystic Mountain. Communication was excellent leading up to the trip, with Kalli giving us lots of helpful information about both the property and the surrounding area. The property itself was beautiful, in a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. Everyone enjoyed relaxing on the large deck overlooking the lake. The property itself was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Many details were considered. Our children especially enjoyed the variety of toys they found in the bedroom closet.

About the host

Hosted by Kalli

Host profile image
We're so pleased to have you visiting our MysticMountainMontana listing. I realize there's a lot of vacation rentals to choose from and so many options to consider and sort through.

The STR (Short Term Rental) business is not new to us. We have owned 2 other STR (Park City, Utah and Costa Rica) over the last 20 years. Our experience and passion for travel hosting led us to our 3rd property in Bigfork, MT. It only took us one trip to this area to know we had found our next home-away.

My friends tell me that the "hospitality” business is my natural niche. As a minister's wife, I often seem to be the one who hosts the parties, plans the gatherings, plays tour guide and opens my house to unexpected guests. I currently manage our property and handle the bookings. So rest assured knowing you're dealing directly with the property owner and the person most knowledgeable about the property and local area to act as your host.

Professionally, other then STR (short term rentals) and hospitality, my back ground and experience is in professional restyling. It's this expertise I used to design and furnish MysticMountainMontana and create a unique “themed” experience in each room. My intention is for guests to enter our property and feel like they are in a warm and welcoming "home" rather then just another generic short term rental space; to not only see a beautiful space when they enter, but also feel and sense our hospitality even in our absence.

When we are not traveling we live in Southern California in the north county of San Diego. Not a bad place to live!

During our winter stays in Bigfork we enjoy skiing and even ski cross country right out our front door and around the lake. I do yoga and my favorite place to practice is right on our lower, lake front deck. In warmer summer months we enjoy hiking, boating, rafting or working in the yard.

I do hope you will have the opportunity to experience the magic this amazing property has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Connect with nature surrounded by picturesque lakes, peaceful ponds and majestic mountains. The bigger of the 3 lakes/ponds on the property, called McGilvray Lake, offers great views from our back deck through many of our expansive windows. We have no nearby neighbors so you have a nice, quiet, secluded feel away from the busier area of Flathead Lake. MysticMountainMontana also offers great private trails for hiking around the various arms of the lakes/ponds and property. Enjoy a full afternoon of activities to choose from or just relax and enjoy the views from an expanded lake-front deck and private dock just a short 5 minute stroll down the hill. Conveniently located yet in quite seclusion for an ideal get-away. Just 30 minutes from Glacier Airport and a short 8 minute drive to Bigfork Village By the Bay. Stroll down main street full of quaint shops and art galleries. Enjoy a day of boating and fishing on Flathead Lake. Take a scenic drive the majestic Glacier National Park for jaw-dropping beauty beyond belief or explore Kalispell & Whitefish all less than 30-45 minutes. MysticMountainMontana offers all the benefits of lake side, mountain living: hugh decks/patio for outdoor living privacy without a single house/neighbor in sight; on-site hiking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming off your private dock without the crowds, traffic, noise or hassles. There is much to see and do in this beautiful area, but allow enough time to simply just be on this majestic and magical MysticMountain property.

What makes this property unique

In such a high-tech-low-touch society, our intention for buying Mystic Mountain was to offer a secluded, peaceful environment for others to enjoy quality time with families & friends away from the fast pace life. Time to bask in the beauty, settle into the silence, breath in the bounty of splendor that awaits you in this majestic Flathead Valley. Enjoy the great outdoors and serenader to the solitude offered here. Return home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Imagine entering a secluded, private property through a gate, down a scenic wooded road, past a small serene pond and rustic recreation room; up a hill to see a picturesque setting with an expansive lush lawn; a conveniently located fire pit for those long summer nights; a large front deck with warm and welcoming porch swing and log rockers looking out at tail trees, big sky and forests. As a "dark sky" property, the star gazing in the Montana big sky is amazing! The back of the house faces across an expansive deck overlooking a small, peaceful Lake McGilvray, and just one of the 4 arms in the lake cluster. Our wooded 15 acres of forest and the Swan Mountain range. Enjoy sun or shade in comfort on the deck furniture. A large gas grill conveniently located right outside the kitchen and dining room door; oversize cold drink cart + two tables seating up to 10. A picturesque setting with an expansive forests and mountains views. Majestically situated on a small hill, nestled in the trees over looking the stunning, Lake McGilvray, the Swan Mountain range and 15 acres of private, pristine forest and wooded area. Your ideal get-away tucked between the trees, private paths and serene lakes and ponds.  Featuring a split level, 3400 sq ft home with 5 beautifully appointed bedrooms; A fully equipped gourmet kitchen with an open floor plan to enjoy family meals together in a clean, private and peaceful setting; 3.5 bathrooms. An ideal multiple family vacation home which sleeps up to 10 people.
