The property was as expected. I will say we experienced a lot of wood smoke from another unit. We had to open the doors to clear the air.

We’ve stayed at Ptarmigan a couple times now, Love the location and atmosphere at the Village, Feel like the photos displayed on the VRBO site are not quite reflective of the actual rooms, they are not as nice as the photos would indicate, could use some upgrading.

The Cedar Nest worked very well for our stay in Whitefish. It was clean, comfortable and convenient for our time in Glacier National Park. I loved the spiral staircases! I must say that communication before, during and after were exceptional. Many thanks for helping to make our trip a great one!

Our family stayed at this property for four nights. Four adults and one five-year-old. There was plenty of room for us. It was clean. Checking in/out easy. Owners responded to all questions quickly. We had a great stay! Beautiful location! **helpful hint- there are only spiral staircases- for the 2 lower floor occupants- have someone go in the unit, go down the stairs, and open the back door and bring your luggage in for the two lower unit bedrooms through the back door.** Pros: two bedrooms plus the loft was plenty of room for us. The indoor pool and outdoor hot tub was a short path through the woods very close to this unit. The unit was well marked and easy to find. There is a washer and dryer in the unit. Although it is in one of the bedrooms, so you have to plan to do your laundry before someone goes to bed. We enjoyed the outside patio. There is a private beach access 5 minutes drive from there condo. We went down several nights and watch the sunset and actually played games on the picnic tables that are at the beach. It was quiet and we were the only ones there. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, plates, coffee, maker, tester, etc.. Cons: There is no air-conditioning in this unit. Which three out of our four nights was fine. But the first night we arrived it was 90°. And there were no fans in the unit. We had to buy fans. No kitchen table. We ate outside ( plenty of stools around island) Spiral staircases can be a challenge

The location was great and home was comfortable and clean. The perks (pools, lakeside access) made it worth it all.

Such a beautiful getaway in a great location! Property has been well taken care of and had all we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed dining on the back deck…playing pickle ball…. lounging at the hot tub and swimming at the pool after long days of playing and hiking Glacier. Lovely stay! Thank you.

Beautiful location. Great amenities. Ideal communication from property manager. Everything about this stay was perfect!

We arrived at Elkhorn on a Saturday evening after traveling for about 15 hours. We were tired and ready to unpack and get comfy in our home away from home for the week. Upon initial arrival, the space is great. It’s secluded, very wooded, and the perfect space for what we needed. I am going to break down our stay for all future renters to be fully prepared. 1. The spiral staircases are a pain in the butt to take luggage down. A lot of the houses in the area have nice pathways to guide you to your home, not Elkhorn. The pathway is gravel and takes you down to the bottom of a staircase that you then have to haul all of your belongings up to the second floor. Our mistake was not noticing the difficultly of the spiral staircases sooner. If you need to take luggage down to the bottom floor, I would recommend entering the space, going downstairs, opening the back door, and then bringing the suitcases to the lower two bedrooms. If you are staying in the upstairs loft - be prepared there isn’t a loophole. 2. I don’t think the photos on VRBO provide an adequate description of the layout. None of the rooms are directly connected to a bathroom, the two lower rooms share a bathroom and the lofted room has to walk down the stairs to the main floor bathroom. This isn’t an issue, just not something that we were prepared for. 3. The hosts were VERY responsive. This came in handy because our pool code and beach code were incorrect. This is by no means their fault, Ptarmigan Village changed the codes without letting them know. We had very timely responses when this occurred. But I think it’s worth mentioning that if you want to go to the beach or pool, do it within office hours of Ptarmigan Village so you aren’t locked out. 4. Parking is not clearly marked outside of Elkhorn. We had the misfortune of another member of the community placing a note on our car that stated “moved or be towed”. We contacted Ptarmigan in fear of having our vehicle towed and they stated they do not place notes like that on cars, nor do they tow since there is not assigned parking. I will say I was not thrilled with the response from our Hosts. We did nothing wrong with regards to parking and I did not feel supported by their response, there was no clarification as to what to do. Luckily Ptarmigan Village’s answering service was able to provide proper information. The location itself is great, it’s very peaceful and extremely beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and watching
