Condo on Swan River in Downtown Bigfork, 45 minutes to Glacier Park - Qwk-wa-tah

Enjoy spectacular views of the Swan River from this luxurious, fully furnished and well equipped condo located in downtown Bigfork. The views of the wild Swan River from the front deck will amaze you as they are unobstructed with the sights and sounds of a rushing whitewater Montana river just a few feet away. You will see nothing but the trees and river with the occasional exception of the wildlife that includes eagle, osprey, deer, fox, bear and raccoons. This 1330 sq foot condo plus 250 sq foot deck includes a barbecue and comfortable seating for outdoor dining.

The master bedroom includes a queen-sized bed in the upstairs loft with its own bathroom and great views out the cathedral style windows. The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed located on the main level with a bathroom that meets ADA requirements. The kitchen and living area offer an open floor plan to maximize your enjoyment of the gorgeous views. The kitchen includes all updated appliances plus a custom carved dining table for 4. The kitchen counter has 3 bar stools for extra dining.

While you appear to be isolated in the wilderness at the condo in the heart of Bigfork you are but one block from downtown shops, galleries, fine restaurants, live music, dancing and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse with live theater and professional productions that change throughout the summer with none of the hustle-bustle of a large city. Downtown Bigfork is also the center of all outdoor activities including fishing or sightseeing charters, bike rentals, kayak, canoe and paddle board, ski boats and jet ski rentals. Minutes away from the condo is the Swan River Nature Trail that runs the length of the famous 'Wild Mile' rapids. Run, walk, bike or fly fish along this beautiful hidden 2 mile trail. The Eagle Bend Golf Course a 500 acre 27 hole master planned community is located 2 miles from downtown and offers the avid golfer the best in the valley. Eagle Bend is a public course and includes a restaurant and pro shop on site. Adjacent to the course is the Montana Athletic Club housing a complete work out center, pool, personal trainers, racquetball and tennis courts.

The Swan River flows into Bigfork Bay and out into Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi surrounded by alpine mountains. You can charter sightseeing and fishing boats and enjoy the beautiful shoreline or rent personal watercraft and enjoy the scenery at your leisure.

Your vacation would not be complete without a day trip through Glacier Park and its many historic lodges. As you travel over the Going to the Sun Highway and the breathtaking views of The Big Sky of Montana you may see mountain goats, moose, elk, grizzly and black bear, bighorn sheep, pristine high mountain lakes, many waterfalls and much more too numerous to mention. Your trip through Glacier Park and its majestic views will be one of the greatest memories you will ever have.

In the winter, the Flathead Valley is famous for its world-class skiing and wide range of winter activities. There are two ski resorts in the area including the local favorite Whitefish Mountain Resort and the family-friendly Blacktail Mountain Ski Area. Whitefish Mountain Resort was recently ranked #3 in the West by Ski Magazine readers! Visitors to the area can also enjoy ice fishing on Flathead Lake, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in Glacier National Park, and snowmobiling with one of the local outfitters.

In the summer, enjoy all the water sports imaginable at Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48! Glacier National Park is also close by with the breathtaking Going-To-The-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and 70+day hikes! Make sure you take time to experience downtown Bigfork boasting shops, galleries, restaurants and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse. There are activities for everyone from hiking the Swan River Nature Trail, exploring the Jewel Basin Wilderness Area, fishing the many lakes & rivers or golfing at any of the exceptional courses, including Eagle Bend Golf Course.

We loved it here! Can't wait to stay again.
This place was perfect. Loved the river right out the deck. We sat and listened to the river, often. Perfect distance away from things. Big Fork is such a nice laid back town. We loved how easy it was to access Kalispell and White Fish, Tamarack/Lakeside, etc.. It was the perfect week away we are trying to get more rooms for next year.

Return to Bigfork
The condo was exactly as advertised. This is a great location and a well-appointed property. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, clean and centrally located to everything in Bigfork and the surrounding area. The river running through the woods off the deck makes this place a home run.

Another great stay!
This is our 3rd time to stay at your lovely condo. We love the back deck with the comfy chairs and the rushing water. The condo isn't as fancy as some of the others that have been redone, but it's super clean and very comfortable. The furniture is all great, beds are good, and the price is better. But, I don't stay here because of the price, I genuinely love it! I don't have one single complaint. When we come back, I will stay again!

Hubby and I got away for a week. The location of this unit was just behind a cute little downtown Bigfork. The unit is well described. The only thing that would have been nice to have would have been a little fire pit or table on the back porch. The sound of the river running is so peaceful. You can walk down to it just a small ways. The breakfast place around the corner Pocket Cafe I believe. Stay here everything is about 30 mins away and worth the drive the views are beautiful.

Our second stay at Quick WaTa
This was our second stay at this condo and we hope to stay again next year! Great location. Great condo! We come with a youth group from church. They stay across the street. The river out back is so beautiful. I got up early every morning and sat in the comfy chairs and read my Bible while listening to the water rushing down from the mountain. It’s worth staying if only to experience that. Lots of space, games in the drawers under the tv. Our grand boys love the marble game that has been there both times we’ve stayed. Easy check in and out. Thanks for a great week!

Noise complaint
All good except for the bands playing at the Garden Bar until 1 AM on Fri and Sat. You all need to be upfront with people and let them know that it is loud and may keep you up at night. Just be honest. Everything else was great, but that is a deal breaker for me and would never rent that again.
