33% OFF - Montana Riverfront, 5 Cabins, Sleeps 30, Family Reunions & Retreats!

IMAGINE waking up to the idyllic sounds of the rolling Swan River, then relaxing on your private deck with a cup of coffee as the sun rises over the majestic Rocky Mountains. Or casting your line into the crystal-clear Swan River and reeling in a beautiful cutthroat trout.

SWAN RIVER RETREAT is a Montana riverfront vacation rental comprising five log cabins that sleep up to 30 guests.

It is perfect for family reunions, retreats, and large groups. BOOK TODAY!

SPECIFICS:
THE MAIN LOG CABIN is the perfect place to relax and gather with your loved ones, with two bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, and a living/dining room.

Imagine your friends and families spending their evenings on the main cabin’s deck and enjoying the hand-crafted long table that seats 14 comfortably, padded willow couches and chairs for 8 in a sitting area, a foosball table, and a hand-crafted log pool table. Grilling up the day’s catch on the two propane BBQs, then enjoying your fill of s’mores over the crackling campfire on the river edge.

THE LOG BUNKHOUSE is perfect for the kids with its two bedrooms, each with a large loft, a bunkroom with four bunks, and its own bathroom.

Nearby are three beautifully unique TWO-STORY LOG GUEST CABINS, which, along with a trout pond, the main cabin, and the bunkhouse, circle a lush green lawn.

THE LARGE LAWN is bordered by a no-name stream that flows into the Swan River. The stream provides a fantastic swimming hole for kids to enjoy.

Our SWAN RIVER RETREAT is perfect for family reunions and retreats and can comfortably accommodate up to 30 guests to make memories to last a lifetime.

THE MAIN CABIN has one king, one queen bed, and a full pullout in the living room. THE BUNKHOUSE has four queen beds and eight twins in the bunks. THE THREE TWO-STORY GUEST CABINS have queen beds. One guest cabin has two, and two guest cabins have one each on the second floor and comfy couches, chairs, and coffee tables on the first floor.

There are microwaves and minifridges for bottled water in the three guest cabins, but no running water. The main cabin has running water and all the amenities you need to

Beautiful house on a beautiful river
This is a house made for memorable vacations. Lode up on groceries and you never need to leave. Lots of places to gather and the river is perfect for swimming, fishing, and listening to.

What a Spectacular Slice of Paradise!
There were 19 of us from ages 2 to 74. The property was just as described but we didn’t realize the true beauty of the cabins and natural surroundings until we got there. We lacked for nothing in the way of kitchen and dining amenities and adequate beds and baths. The fact that the only full baths (3) were in the main cabin never presented a problem. Dinner was at the huge table on the deck followed by outdoor games, fishing and a huge log fire with plenty of seating. A day in Glacier National Park, on Flathead Lake and on paddle boards on Swan Lake, all in reasonable proximity, added to the fun had by all. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a heavenly experience in Montana.

Spectacular location for a Family Reunion!
The photos don't do this property justice, each of the cabins are so unique and well thought out, there was plenty of space for our group of 20. We had some initial concerns with the bathrooms being in the main cabin but it wasn't an issue at all. Doug (the homeowner) was very helpful and showed us around the property upon arrival. The kitchen was well appointed with slow cookers, baking pans, knives, spices, and basics (sugar, flour, paper products, etc). There were also plenty of things for the kids to do, fishing poles for the kids pond, yard games, toys and video tapes, no one was ever bored! With the river right out the door, a fire pit, plenty of spots to relax, the pool and foosball tables, croquet and volleyball, this place is like your own personal camp! We loved it and hope to return sometime. Thank you Doug and Linda for sharing your little slice of heaven in Montana!!

Best Family Vacation Ever!
What a wonderful location! Our family (8 adults, 5 children) takes a family vacation every summer. We all voted this as our best vacation ever! We loved being right on the river which was great for floating and fishing. The deer visited a couple times a day. The accommodations were perfect as was our host! We enjoyed being close to Bigfork and Glacier National Park. Our family definitely wants to return!

Absolute heaven
We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our group of three families to stay and play in Montana. The view and river were magical and where we started and ended each day. Very homey with everything we needed. Great porch for dining, games and cards. Kids loved the bunkhouse and parents enjoyed the quiet of our own cabins. Good hiking and lakes nearby, and close enough for day trips to Glacier and Whitefish. Thank you, Doug, for sharing your family retreat with us!!

Perfect Setting for Family Reunions/Multiple families
We absolutely loved our stay...the location, the cabins, the porch, and of course the river. We had an extend family reunion(and kids from 9 to young adults) and to a family we all agreed the property exceeded our expectations. Set up perfectly for 30+ to play, converse, sit in water etc. and yet be in the "same" location. Good communication, reasonable pricing, and priceless location for groups like this. We'll be back...we loved it!

Amazaing!
This place was perfect. We caught a bunch of fish right off the deck, swam in the refreshing river, played games, & enjoyed the long summer nights! 10/10 would recommend. One thing noteworthy. For twenty guys, we had enough wifi to connect to for all of us. We weren't there to be on our cell phones but were able to have enough to connect with freidns and family who weren't with us.

Perfect Family Gathering
After not being able to see our family for over a year, this was the perfect retreat. Our four sons and their families made 12 of us, and everyone had room to gather as well as their own space. Everything we needed was there; the property is well stocked with just about everything you can think of. To be there together in such an incredibly beautiful location was a real treat, and the family is already talking about our next trip. True, there is no cell service, but the internet worked very well. One son had an online meeting he had to do, and he found that the signal in the office in the main house was stronger than in the cabins. One night the power went out and it meant everyone had to put down their phones. I loved it!

FANTASTIC FAMILY FLEXCATION!
Location, location, location! We looked at many retreats and chose this one based on: Location Remote Riverside Retreat was absolutely perfect for our family flexcation, flyfishing, floating, and hiking! Glacier International Airport - 60 minutes north. Glacier National Park - 90 minutes north. Cabins Main Cabin – Cozy two bedrooms, three bathrooms. We sat on the large deck overlooking the river every night to watch the sunset over the mountains as the river rolled by. Nice, well-equipped kitchen with an oven, microwave, dishwasher, two fridges, and even a small fridge for beer/soda. Convenient washer and dryer on property and nice new linens and towels. Bunkhouse – Perfect for the kids! Plenty of indoor and outdoor games. Didn’t hear “I’m bored” once! Guest Cabins – Three additional two-story cabins circle the large lawn making for a very family-centric environment. Outside All the cabins were lit up with lights for plenty of light at night. We even caught sight of a few deer passing through! Fantastic firepit right out in front of the main cabin deck was perfect for s'mores. Main deck has a fun foosball table and a handcrafted pool table. WIFI worked great for our remote phone counseling jobs and our six kids school zoom classes and nightly movie binges. We even FaceTimed Grandma and Grandpa to include them in some of the fun. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!

Serenity Now :)
Doug, our host did a wonderful job helping us settle in to his beautiful and warm cabin. We spent every evening on the porch, watching the sunset, overlooking the Swan River. The setting was serene and secluded. And the cabin was well stocked with everything we needed for our week in the Swan Valley. We highly recommend staying at Doug’s park-like setting. We only used the main cabin, but clearly they could accommodate multiple families with the multiple cabins on property. When Mother Nature tossed us a challenge, Doug was very quick to help us out. Overall, we had a great and memorable time.

No cell service and basically no wifi
First, I understand the point for many is get off the grid. And if you want a vacation guaranteed not to be able to use your phone 90% of the trip, this is the place for you. There is ZERO cell reception. Your only choices are the owners land line and wifi calling. So pair that with horrible wifi (even with the 3 extenders we bought after arriving) & you get nothing. For our working trip this was unacceptable. I communicated my outrage that the listing does not mention this to the owner as soon as I booked & the data was finally provided in the details of the booking only. This is not okay though his answer was worse. His answer was simply that they currently had a tech company running their business & have had zero complaints. After staying there myself I know this is impossible & further lies told by the owner. His son arrived on our property the third day to fix the sprinklers and we discussed this. It got no better despite his attempts & then two additional days of him coming to the property still no better. Finally he said it could only handle 5 devices. So basically unless you are 1 single family with probably just one child, you will have zero ways to communicate to the outside world, search for activities to do or even ask the owner for help through VRBO where there is a record of your conversation. This is not per the listing. Now that that is out of the way, the cabins are decent as long as you’re okay with no running water, which didn’t bother us. The main cabin has 3 full bathrooms With showers (though don’t try to shower at the exact same time as another). The bunk house has 1 toilet and cold water only and the other 3 cabins each have 2 beds & no running water, toilet, etc. The “first cabin” had a baby gate which was great for me, my husband and our 18 mo old. After purchasing a pack n play we discovered they had one in the 2nd cabin. So now they have 2 if any of you are bringing littles. They had 2 fridges which was very convenient for our 3 families all with kids ranging 6 mo to 13 years. We didn’t use their games except fooseball. But they do have a pool table on the deck as well. There are no dressers anywhere on property. The space is definitely serene, though that water is very frigid so please go in prepared for that. There is deer that come into the property constantly & while we were warned of bears & mountain lions none appeared on our trip Highly recommend Narrowpath Adventures!!!!!!

Phenomenal space in a beautiful setting
Our stay here was far beyond expectation. The property looks even better in person, the setting is beyond compare, and amenities made our week comfortable. The family who owns the property has clearly have taken good care of it and have incorporated their personal touches and skills into the character of the buildings. The setting is serene and right on the river with a mountain backdrop. Would absolutely recommend to family and friends and will likely try to use this spot for a reunion in the future.
