New! Spacious 5BR Forest Lodge | Picture Windows, Fireplaces, Game Room & Peaceful Montana Setting | House in Bigfork

Tucked deep into the woods, this large craftsman-style home is rich with history and character. This 5-bedroom woodland home offers a unique private escape. Soaring 16-foot ceilings, exposed beams, and enormous picture windows to frame the forested views, allowing the outside to feel like an extension of the home. Nestled on an acre of land, this home blends timeless craftsmanship with serene Montana beauty.
With four wood-burning fireplaces throughout this home, every corner of this property offers a unique and peaceful experience for you and your guests. As sunlight filters through the towering pines, casting dancing shadows across the gardens, the mossy paths curve around the home, giving the sense that the house is woven into the landscape. From the moment you arrive, the house greets you with warmth, privacy, and a space to breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Step inside, and you will be immediately greeted with an open layout. The kitchen and dining room features wooden accents throughout the room and large windows, creating an amazing space for you and your guests to create memorable meals together. Step down the hallway to enter the living room, a great space to gather and play a card game while warming up next to the wood-burning fireplace. The canoe room offers a great space to relax and cozy up with a book. The lower-level game room, with a pool table and bar, is the perfect spot to end your night after a day of exploring all of Montana's beauty. With plenty of space to entertain and create magical memories, retire the night in one of the comfortable private bedrooms and rest before your next day of adventure.

This home is intentionally remote and wonderfully quiet - a sanctuary where families reconnect, old friends come together, and guests rediscover the beauty of time spent intentionally. A space to breathe deeply, appreciate nature, and experience a home that feels truly connected to the forest. Ranch Road guesthouse is more than a getaway; it's a place where memories take root.
