The Stalls At Whitefish

Absolutely beautiful! 10/10 recommend!

Thank you! All went well - as described. Very comfortable bed. Peaceful location in forest.

We had an AMAZING stay. Doug was very friendly and helpful. He went above and beyond for us and greeted us when we arrived to make sure we were set. Then he was respectful and gave us our time. The house is gorgeous and we loved having the garden to explore. We would HIGHLY recommend.

What a treasure! I can’t decide if the surrounding property or the home itself was more special! The grounds are out of this world beautiful and Doug was incredibly proactive making sure we had everything we needed at every step. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat and maybe just live here forever if ever the option presented. Magical spot!

We had a great time at the Stalls. Very quiet and peaceful place. Great distance to downtown Whitefish while still feeling remote. Doug was great with communication, and we appreciated the opportunity to stay there. Thank you!

The Stalls were everything we wanted out of a base camp for our first experience in Montana. The home is close to the hustle and bustle of Whitefish, but still secluded and private allowing us to taste the peace & quiet of the Montana wilderness. We traveled to Glacier National Park every day and the drive there and back was a breeze. Doug provided great instructions for all aspects of our stay and the Starlink service was wonderful for sharing our adventures with our family back at home. We will definitely look to stay at The Stalls again when we find our way back to this slice of heaven.

Positive: Doug's property was amazing! We loved everything about it! A unique property, in a secluded spot, surrounded by beautiful landscaping. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and enjoyed meeting Doug.

We had a great stay at Doug’s place. It was exactly as pictured and very comfortable. Our kids enjoyed the cozy twin/bunk beds and the John Deere pedal toy in the stalls. There was an issue with the water on the last day of our stay, but Doug was on it immediately and was able to have it fixed before it interfered with anything. Thank you, Doug!

Doug’s place was amazing! A little hidden gem off the beaten path. So many extra touches inside the Stalls and a beautiful garden just around the walkway.

It was such a peaceful place to stay as we are farmers and do not like staying in town. It made for a great place to make our home base for our trip to Glacier.

The while property was beautiful and serene. The garden was lovely and relaxing. The kids loved running around and played for hours with the little tractor “delivering wood” for the fire pit. The heated toilet seat was a happy surprise and the bathroom was luxurious. We overall loved staying at the barn and plan to return in the future.

We enjoyed the horse barn and the beautiful grounds surrounding it. Such a special place and very well maintained and built!

We had such an amazing family getaway! It was so fun to stay in a barn. It had a lot of great little, personal touches to it that really made it so cozy and we’re already talking about the next time we come back.

This was very nice. Extremely well built. Very nice improvements. Very quiet and fire pit was great. Very peaceful. Deer just walk by.

We loved our stay! Close to Whitefish but feels like you’re in the wilderness. Beautiful property.

We had a very peaceful and comfortable stay. Loved the deer.

Doug is a wonderful host and his place has to be one of the most beautiful and interesting AirBNBs we have stayed at - and we have stayed at many. The apartment is an elegant and roomy living space on the 2nd floor of perhaps the fancy horse stalls I have seen (but during our visit without any horses). If you enjoy interesting architecture and elegant carpentry, a visit to the “Stalls” is worth it just to admire the creative craftsmanship of the building. The apartment was extremely well set up for us to enjoy a week long stay. Location is exceptional. It was both a short drive into downtown Whitefish, but more important to us it was at the end of a private road surrounded by a large private corporate landholding that is available for public access. We enjoyed a week of Nordic skiing and showshoe adventures frequently without needing to drive anywhere. Miles and miles of old forest roads and easy trail breaking through relatively open meadows. Also nearby are groomed trails.

Had an awesome ski weekend at WMR. The kids loved the bunks and having their private space. The road was well plowed for the season and the house had everything we needed for meal prep. Master bed was very comfortable and we really enjoyed the two fireplaces. Will absolutely stay here again!

Spectacular

WOW! I mean, WOW! We walked into the barn at it was nothing short of magical. The barn itself was clean and decorated for Christmas, my children thought we walked into Santa’s barn where he kept the deer. Walking into the living quarters upstairs it was what you think a home in MT should feel. It was cozy, professionally decorated, everything about the space felt elevated. The house was spotless and beds/linens clean and so comfy. I usually bring my own pillow and blanket (ya I’m a crazy lady that doesn’t like germs), but I used neither, that’s how clean and upscale the space felt! We loved the fire places and cozy bunk beds too! Oh and Doug thought of everything, he provided so many extras! Best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. This was heaven on Earth, if Doug would let us buy we would. Nice work, Doug!

Our stay at The Stalls was magical. Doug did a great job of making his beautiful place even more special during our stay by decorating the horse stalls with lights and TWO sleighs! One filled with wrapped presents and one perfect for photos. My 3 kids (ages 3,7, and 9) had the time of their life. The upstairs living area was perfect for our family my kids called the amazing beds “their stalls”. They are a good size. I was able to lay in them while I read my youngest a story comfortably. The place was about 20 minutes from everywhere. It is easy to find even though it’s private. I would recommend 4 wheel drive during the snow season. We skied Whitefish resort which was an easy drive and even went to Glacier National Park. Our favorite coffee place was Friske Coffee. We enjoyed snowball fights, building snowmen and the fire pit outside. We saw deer and enjoyed the peaceful seclusion. It was perfect. Thank you Doug for being such a great host and we will be back again.

Loved it…was perfect for Christmas!

This place was secluded but close to everything in Whitefish. Very cozy, clean and had everything needed. Definitely enjoyed the unique experience and wouldn’t mind at all being born or raised in a barn if it was like this. 5 star ⭐️ experience

This was and amazing place. Absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend!!!

We travel the world and stay in a lot of Air bnb’s this one is up at the top. The location is magical. It’s snowed a ton while we were there and we entered into Narnia. I would recommend a car suited for snow. It’s close to town and yet it feels like we are so remote. The house was perfect. Can’t wait to go back.

This stunning barn exceeded our expectations. We spent a few days over Thanksgiving here and could not have been happier. We felt immediately at home in this cozy yet luxurious space. Checking in was a breeze, Doug was fantastic and responsive. We saw wildlife, went on beautiful walks, the kiddos played in the yard, we had cozy evenings watching movies in from of the fire and made a memorable Thanksgiving dinner. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience, thank you Doug!

Thank you Doug, your converted barn exceeded our expectations!! We were looking for a secluded peaceful retreat not far from town, and we found it!! Not only did it look like the pictures, it was absolutely spotless clean. Your quick response to our questions was very appreciated. We want to come back in the summer so we can see the garden in all its glory!! It was a fantastic 8 days in Whitefish, thank you for helping us create some lasting memories. If you are reading this review, stay at The stalls, it was fabulous!!! Doug is a great host!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the stalls! It’s a beautiful Airbnb, and a beautiful location. We really fell in love with whitefish. Doug was quick to respond to questions, and any issues (little things like a toilet running etc) Two things just to know, there’s a lumber company very close so we often heard trucks. To get to the cabin you need to take a gravel road, it snowed when we were there and it was a bit tricky for us, but it was just Front wheel drive we had. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much for sharing the stalls with us. This will always be a special place to us.

My husband and I needed a place to stay near Whitefish while we attended a work conference, but we wanted to be out of town so we could enjoy some privacy, solitude and scenery. Doug's home is about a 15 minute drive out of town, so very convenient to everything in Whitefish, but with the benefit of feeling like you are staying far away in the wilderness. We heard wolves howling the first night, which was amazing! The home itself is even more impressive than pictured, and very well stocked for preparing meals and also comfortable and home-ey with two fireplaces and two TVs which would be handy if you're traveling with kids. The master bed was super comfortable, too. We hope we can return to Doug's place for another visit next summer, as it is ideally located as a home base for exploring Glacier National Park, as well.

Very nice, everything was modern especially for the location. Ideal for someone who is traveling with animals.

We loved are stay at “The Stalls”. It is such a cozy place. We read by the fireplace. I was able to work remote from the Starlink internet, which worked great! We hiked in Glacier National Park. The fall foliage was amazing. We just had such a great time and would definitely come back. Doug’s attention to detail, like the heated toilet seat, was noted. I now feel like I need a heated toilet seat even though I live in the south and barely get winter temperatures 😄 Highly recommend this place and would definitely come back!

Absolutely loved this place and the awesome location! Will 100% be back

This is a very fun and unique find with interesting amenities!! It is about 15 min from downtown Whitefish making it very peaceful. We really enjoyed touring the garden and stalls below. The living quarters had been well planned and decorated with Montana themes. Doug provided a high chair and crib on short notice which was above and beyond our expectations.

Awesome place to retreat for a few days with the fam!

The Stalls was a beautiful spot for us to spend some time with our great friends! The spot was just enough distance from Columbia Falls and still able to enjoy nature! Doug was extremely responsive when we had an issue and had someone there to address it. Overall, both our families really enjoyed staying here!

Highly recommend Doug’s Place. The ambience and quality pure Montana.

Not only was Doug’s place beautiful, he was a great host. He was very responsive and easy to work with. We were surprised to have some Glacier essentials available for our use! We can tell he takes pride in his property. If we find ourselves back in Montana, we would definitely consider staying here again!

Such a magical place! Loved walking around the gorgeous gardens. Doug is a very helpful and responsive host. Very friendly and caring. Had a great stay!

Doug’s place was awesome! Beds were super comfortable and the place was very clean.

Best airbnb in Whitefish. Doug is great and his property is beautiful.

This place was incredible! The road we took to get to the property was closed by a logging company but when I called Doug he answered immediately and gave me clear instructions on how to get there from another route and we had no problems at all. That was really impressive. The property was amazing and my kids absolutely loved it! The housing felt luxurious and we had everything we needed for a fun weekend. We'll definitely look at coming back!

Doug’s place is great. Completely isolated at the end of a long dirt road, but still only 15 minutes from central Whitefish. Place is extremely clean and well equipped. Bed is super comfortable. Satellite internet service works well. Highly recommended!!!

Awesome place, comfy beds, super quiet. Relaxing neighborhood. We grilled the second night and it was wonderful. It’s just far enough from whitefish but close enough to go for dinner or shop in town.

Doug's place is perfect for those who like being off the beaten path. The place is very comfortable and homey, with all the comforts you need. It's a beautiful place with beautiful surroundings, you won't be disappointed!

This place is so well thought out and just the perfect place to stay! Close to whitefish but very private, we felt right at home and didn’t want to leave!! We look forward to booking this place again in the near future!!

Fantastic barb loft, pristine, clean and very compfy. Quite and in the middle of nature. I would stay here again and the beds were super comfortable.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Stalls and wished we could have stayed longer! The place was immaculate and Doug really thought of all the details to make you feel at home. The gardens were gorgeous and the property was so relaxing. My daughter loved her bunk bed and all the beds were SO comfortable. We definitely want to return here next year! The location was super convenient as well! Thanks Doug for this beautiful home, it sure was hard to leave this piece of paradise.

This was definitely a one of a kind find!!! Doug has thought of everything that one may need for a Montana stay. The home was immaculate, comfortable, and gorgeous views in every direction. Our family enjoyed our stay!!

Sweet place

This place was incredible. We did not want to leave! The size was perfect and unbelievably spacious. Great design. Wonderful bathroom. Great place to return to every night after exploring Glacier. Only eish we could have stayed longer!! Doug was super responsive and went the extra mile offering to ship our daughter's pillow to her thst she left behind.

Our favorite vacation rental yet! Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Loved the quirky idea of staying in a barn! No barn smell if you’re worried about that. Our family had a wonderful stay. The house was immaculate. Everything seemed brand new. Beautiful details everywhere you look. My favorite feature was the window in the shower to look out at the tree tops. Bear spray was provided which was appreciated and we carried with us while on walks. We used the bbq and outdoor fire pit. Got some great photos around the fire. Everything was provided for the fire pit, including marshmallow roasting skewers. The house had just the right amount of stuff for the kids and adults to play with. There is a very long gravel road to get to the place, but it’s totally worth it. This is the place to stay in white fish. Don’t hesitate!

"The Stalls" was impeccable. Doug has an attention to detail that is second to none. I was somewhat skeptical about staying in a "barn", but I was blown away by the ambiance, comfort and serenity. After the first "long" trip down the road to The Stalls, I appreciated how close and convenient the property truly was to Whitefish and Glacier National Park. The couple of extra minutes of driving was worth the privacy and quiet comfort that Doug has created. To top it off, the garden was impressive and a fantastic extension of the experience. We are a gardening family and this space gave us a creative glimpse of someone else's vision. Oh and if we were to have had a horse, what a vacation it would have been for it. The Stalls for the horses were as nice and the rest of the accommodations. Hats off to Doug! Keep up the good work.

The Stalls are amazing!!! We loved our time here, it's a little tricky to get to but Doug gives great directions. The property is beautiful and peaceful with plenty of space for the kids to run around or for you to enjoy a peaceful setting. The accommodations are very clean and comfortable. Our boys loved the 3 bunk beds, they are large enough for two smaller children to share if need be (not the highest one but the lower ones). The bathroom is clean and there are lots of kitchen appliances, the washer and dryer were most helpful! We loved our time here and would absolutely book this again!

Worked for us.

Beautifully decorated, fulfilled all the needs. Very comfortable! The kids loved their own little space and the Smart TVs came in handy the day it rained. Highly recommend for a 5 star, real serene forest feel!

Our stay was absolutely marvelous. The location and the unit were so nice, I almost wish I had horses so they could have enjoyed it as much as we did. We decided that we want to make it a yearly family trip. Could not say one negative thing. Doug was awesome and so responsive to any questions I had. Do yourself a favor and reserve this awesome place!!

What a cool place. Everything felt brand new and no expense was spared. It was immaculate, private, and the garden is beautiful. Just around the bend from whitefish but you felt miles away from the city. All the little things were taken care of.

Amazing place and an amazing host in Doug. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Beautiful, peaceful and so quiet. This place is such a fantastic stay! Highly recommend!

We LOVED Doug’s house and property. It was just beautiful. The decor is fun and quality. We loved all the south western details, and the heated toilet seat was an awesome surprise. The bedroom is very large. The bedding in the bedroom as well as the lofts was so, so comfortable.

This was our second time to stay at The Stalls at Whitefish…, we are already planning to return next year. It is hard to describe in words the beauty, tranquility & peace we enjoy here. The Stalls are impeccable, we a great attention to every detail, but the off the path location keeps bringing us back.

Enjoyed the fire pit the most!

We had a wonderful stay! The place was exactly how it was represented in the listing and the area is so beautiful. Doug thought of all the details and was lovely to communicate with. Would highly recommend!

We absolutely loved this place! It was so beautiful & Doug was such a great host! Highly recommend this place to anyone!

This property location was peaceful, open and close to town. The living quarters were exquisite, high quality and stylish. The only advice I have is that it absolutely requires a 4WD vehicle to access during our the cold season when we visited in March/April. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We truly enjoyed this lovely property!
