SLOPESIDE with PRIVATE Hot Tub-just 30' from the slope! 2 Bdm\/2 Bath, Luxury Ski-in\/Ski-out Treeh...
About this chalet rental
TIME Magazine honored Snow Bear Chalets as one of the 100 WORLD'S GREATEST PLACES- 2018! We're also the World's First Ski-in/Ski-out Luxury Treehouses! We welcome you to Tamarack at Snow Bear Chalets! This beautiful luxury treehouse chalet, just a few feet from the slope at Whitefish Mountain Ski Resort, sleeps 6 with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths over three levels. With everything from jaw-dropping architecture, private hot tub, high-end appliances and luxury finishes, to privacy and a killer "treehouse" vibe, you'll want to stay forever! Plus, you're ON the slope, so ski-in/ski-out in the winter and abundant hiking and mountain biking in the summer is literally just walking out your front door! Tamarack is 100% ski-in AND ski-out - you can ski to Chair 3 in less than a minute when you're ready to hit the slopes and then ski straight to the chalet when you're ready to come home. (Don't worry, you can still drive your car right to the front door of the chalet, regardless of the season) And in the summer, you're just 15 feet from miles of prime mountain biking trails, hiking trails and photo opportunities galore! Welcome to the unique world of Snow Bear Chalets! Not only are our chalets truly ON the slope, they’re also exquisitely magical. From the first glimpse of them through the trees, to the feeling you'll experience as you're relaxing in your own private hot tub on the deck, Snow Bear will spoil you with luxury, privacy and beauty. You won't find the quality, the high-end finishes, the gorgeous balcony, the winding staircase and viewing turret, nor the beautiful windows that soar with spectacular breathtaking views at any other rental on the mountain. The thoughtful design begins before you even walk in the front door, with a keypad-locked cabinet for your skis or snowboard conveniently located on the porch. As you enter the chalet, you’ll find the turret stairs and our welcoming entry area to your left, which has a native Tamarack (larch) bench to let you put your ski boots on in comfort as well as shelves and cubbies to store all your gear. There’s a full bathroom to your right, for ease when you’re hustling in from the slopes. As you continue into the chalet, the jaw-droppingly spectacular great room with a cathedral ceiling will unfold in front of you. With a beautiful gas fireplace graced with Montana Moss rock and a native Tamarack larch mantle, the great room’s cozy ambiance also creates a toasty atmosphere throughout the chalet. And if after a long day of skiing or hiking you just need to relax a bit, you’ll find a large television with Netflix and Amazon. Suspended above the forest floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides, you’ll feel like you’re living in the trees every moment of your stay. Those trees are what will draw you outside, as you slide open the twelve-foot window wall and step out onto your 400 sq. ft. deck wrapping around the back of the chalet, high above the forest floor. With a Polywood table seating six and a quality Weber grill, you can cook and dine alfresco as much as you’d like. And when those aching muscles need a little love, your own private hot tub awaits you, perched high amongst the trees. Returning inside, you’ll find the gourmet kitchen – a chef’s dream! – to the right. With a gourmet Bosch gas range, a convection oven with microwave, dishwasher, and french door refrigerator/freezer, you’ll have all the conveniences of home. The gorgeous Cambria Quartz countertops add the finishing touch for a jaw-dropping WOW factor. The chalet is stocked with place settings for 12, including Riedel wine glasses, as well as cooking essentials such as oil, salt, pepper, and spices. To help you get going in the morning, we have an easy-to-use coffee maker with a separate kettle for tea. The dining island seats seven at mealtime and also functions as an additional prep area or workstation. With high-speed wifi throughout the chalet and plenty of outlets underneath the island countertop, you’ll be able to get things done and keep all your devices charged when you just can’t escape that pesky inbox. Opposite the island, you’ll find the master bedroom. The comfy king bed, with a memory foam mattress and luxurious down comforter, is cantilevered out into a window area, so you’ll feel like you’re hanging from the treetops. You’ve got to see it to fully appreciate the amazing architecture! The master is divided from the great room by 3 floor-to-ceiling sliding barn doors that allow great flexibility. By day, leave the doors open for an even more open feel and by night, simply close them for privacy. The main level bathroom, complete with washer and dryer, is just around the corner. The loft above, accessible via the turret staircase and open to the great room below, features a king and two twin beds and is perfect for small families as it has its own full bathroom as well. Every bed in the chalet has high thread count linens, a cozy bed warmer, a toasty down comforter and luxurious hypoallergenic pillows. We provide oversize bath sheet towels in each bathroom and for the hot tub. From the loft, you can take a ship’s ladder to the top of the turret – a favorite place to be. This cozy 8′ round room is perfect for viewing the slopes with its 7′ round Xorbee microfiber cushion. For a really killer experience, turn off the lights and enjoy the 600 fiber optic twinkle lights in the ceiling! No matter what you’re feeling like, each chalet has something for everyone. In addition to the television in the great room and a Sonos system for music throughout the chalet, we have cards, some popular board games, and a small selection of books. And when you’re ready to head out, you're located right on the slope at Whitefish Mountain Resort, so feel free to bring your own skis or snowboard during winter or your mountain bike during summer, to enjoy the miles and miles of mountain biking trails. You can also rent whatever equipment you need from one of the shops in the resort’s main village no matter the season. All resort amenities, summer, and winter are within easy walking/skiing distance. Just a few blocks away, you’ll find bars, restaurants, and shopping in the main village at Whitefish Mountain Ski Resort! Snow Bear Chalets is a brand new, unique property with THREE "treehouse" chalets - high above the ground - ON the slopes of Whitefish Mountain Ski Resort. There's nothing like it on any ski mountain anywhere! From the front door to the snow, you'll be shushing down the mountain within seconds of leaving your private chalet! Ponderosa is slopeside. Tamarack (VRBO #4249602) is identical to Ponderosa and less than 30 feet from the slope. Cedar, on the other side of Tamarack (VRBO #4249603) is our largest chalet and is great for groups. Each Snow Bear Chalet is available for rent with a 3-night minimum (7-night minimum for holidays). Book one, two or three chalets and sleep up to 22 guests! Snow Bear is not for everyone. It's literally the ultimate in luxury living for those who choose a unique, decadent holiday experience. If you're ready to be spoiled on a gorgeous mountain escape, you've found the right place!

Best Property on The Best Family Friendly Mountain
The perfect “Mountain Getaway!” Whitefish the town is great! The mountain is so family friendly and the SnowBear Tree House is the cherry on top! We had zero issues! Everything was perfect do to the great communication with the owners from start to finish. Looking forward to coming back next year!

Very creative, fun, unique home in the trees - we really enjoyed our stay. First class, very well stocked kitchen. Bring minimal luggage and a small to medium size car. The three treehouse chalets are perfect for a large family to rent together given their proximity and openness to each other. We hope to come back and ski here soon for the convenience of ski in and out! We did hike up the Hope Slope trail to the top and it was great exercise with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains, lake, and valley.

Wonderful Trip!
We had such a lovely weekend at the Treehouse (even if it was freezing!). The ski in / ski out location and views were incredible, and Gail gave the best recommendations (private chef, restaurants, and in-house massage therapist). We’ll definitely be back!

MEA Getaway in Whitefish
This was our second time back to Snow Bear Chalets. We had a wonderful time and I can't say enough great things about this property. It truly is like being in a Fairy Tale. We love hiking and exploring the trails of Whitefish, downtown allows for some great eating and drinking opportunities, but we love nothing more than the quietness of this property in the mountains this time of year. It's stunning. Gail is so wonderful to work with and really makes the stay so easy.

Beautiful
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Beautiful home and picturesque property. The summer weather was a welcomed break from the MS humidity. Would love to come back in the winter and enjoy skiing next time.

Best place to be on the Mountain
The treehouse was everything we wanted and more. From the moment we walked in, we knew this would be a special vacation. The view is amazing, the treehouse is well appointed and the location is fantastic. The landlord was very responsive to communications. We loved our stay and hope to return.

Amazing views
This was a great property for us to stay. We loved our time with the Snow Bear Chalets. Plan for the drive time up the mountain to go to other places in Montana however it was easy to get in and out. We loved sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine or beer watching the night sky. So peaceful. with private views & such.

Anniversary
Surprised my wife with an anniversary trip to montana (we’re from texas) and booked this chalet. What a gorgeous property and fantastic host. Everything turned out to just as advertised! If i can figure out now how to get the whole family here during skiing season, we’d be good to go for the year!!

Stay at Tamarack Chalet - Aug 2019
A very pleasant stay in Tamarack chalet, quiet environment. Bedroom and mezzanine are well designed, as well as the terrace and hot tub.
Note : allowing better recycling (glass, plastics) of trash would be a +.
Within walking distance of the mountain resort, with several activities available for everyone. Not too far from Glacier NP, a must see as well.

Tamarack is first class! Home is wonderful and furnishings are wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked as were the bathrooms. We enjoyed our stay so much! Whitefish is a very neat area and this home is right in the ski area.

Summer visit to Tamarack
Gail and her team performed as advertised. The Tamarack was just the right size for four with clean and updated accommodations. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything one would need. We travelled to GNP twice and into Whitefish daily with no trouble at all. Would recommend any of the Snow Bear Chalets...we had a great time away from the southern heat.

Amazing!!!!
The snow bear chalets have become one of my all time favorite places to stay. We have stayed in some of the top rated places around the world but none of the places came close to the comfort and accommodations of the snow bear chalets. The chalets are stocked with everything you may need for a long stay. Plenty of cookware, soft robes, sono sound system, hot tub, aveda toiletries, and the most comfortable heated mattresses. The chalet was designed in such an amazing way that the space feels very spacious yet warm and cozy at the same time. Plenty of room for our family. Gail and Teryn went above and beyond to make our vacation special. The snow bear chalets should be on everyone’s bucket list!!

Tamarack stay
It was beyond amazing. The view was spectacular and to see the deer 🦌 all around you up close was just awesome. My kids didn’t want to come home. Thank you so much!!

Awesome place, but must be OK with “cozy”
This is an awesome place, but be aware that it is not big. It is ski-in-ski-out which is great. The furnishings and finishes are all first rate. But you have to be OK with the idea of cozy. Upstairs is a loft with a king size bed and bunk beds. Off the kitchen is a nook with another king-sized bed. I’d hesitate to call this a room as it’s really just big enough for the bed. There are slider doors that can separate it from the other rooms. The upstairs area has the bigger bathroom, but the downstairs room seems to make more sense for the parents to sleep in if you are traveling with kids. Overall, a great place to stay, but you have to expect that it’s a unique space.

Loved the house!! Convenient and cozy.
This was a great rental and I'd highly recommend staying here. We loved being on the mountain and the house was a treat to come back to after a long day of skiing.

The vacation home was fantastic! I hated to leave.
I could not have had a better experience. The lodge is everything as advertised. They had every needed spice, in the well stocked kitchen, for all of our cooking needs. The home was clean and very comfortable. Every bed was comfortable, and the six of us had room to roam, while all keeping our privacy. The jacuzzi is one of the best I have been in, and we used it every day after skiing. It was nice to walk a few steps to the slopes in the morning, and to ski directly to your front door when we were finished in the afternoon. The entryway, with individual cubbies, enabled us to keep our skiing gear within reach, and separate. The six plush robes that were provided, were put to good use. Gail and her partner could have not been nicer and accommodating. The West Village is just a few steps away, which is very convenient. Overall, this cottage was absolutely perfect for our group. We all enjoyed it very much!

Tranquil and Luxurious
I have recommended a stay at the Snow Bear Chalets to everyone I have spoken to since we arrived home. We stayed in the Tamarack treehouse and loved every thing about it from the heated floors to the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in away from home. The treehouse gave us luxury, but still allowed us to feel at home while we were there. We visited during the "shoulder season" so the mountain was quiet. There wasn't much open at the near by mountain resort, but Whitefish has many wonderful restaurants just 15minutes down the mountain. It snowed during our stay and we felt like we were in a snow globe with all of the beautiful windows the treehouse has. It is a beautiful place to stay. We look forward to staying here again, during a different season, so we can enjoy some of the activities on the mountain.
