About this property

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.

About the host

Hosted by Doug Wold

We are a 5th-generation Montana family who has been in hospitality since 1910. We love to share the beauty and grandeur that is Montana. We played host to all sorts of events over the decades. In recent years, most of our guests have found our Swan River Retreat the perfect place for their family gatherings.

Why they chose this property

We bought these 10 acres in 2000 and built our family retreat. We rebuilt and enlarged the main cabin and built three smaller guest cabins.

We had so much company, we next built a bunkhouse with 8 bunks, a half-bath, and two bedrooms, each with a loft. We lived at the retreat for about 4 months a year for about 10 years. It is nicely furnished with quality items.

Ten years ago we decided to share it with guests and make it available as a vacation rental. We have been fortunate in that our guests have all been very respectful of the property, and understand it is special, and not a regular commercial venture.
