Remember how fun it was to play in the loft of your granddaddy's barn when you were a kid? Well, it's still fun, but this ain't your granddaddy's barn. The downstairs is all business. With eight stalls and paddocks with automatic waterers, a tack room, and a horse-wash station, your horses will feel right at home. If you're bringing horses, there's a separate boarding fee agreement that I can send you before you arrive. The upstairs is well-appointed to suit your needs. This space was built for relaxation, so you can veg out watching TV, clean up in the rainfall shower after a day of hiking, riding, or skiing, or fall asleep watching the fireglow from your bed. Only five miles from downtown Whitefish, The Stalls at Whitefish is conveniently close to restaurants and entertainment, yet it feels like it's in the middle of nowhere. Bucolic at its best. In the summer, you can grill a steak and eat next to the campfire. In the winter, you can snowshoe, cross country ski (there's even a groomed trail a few miles down the road), snowmobile, or head up to Big Mountain for a day of downhill skiing. No matter what you like to do, we're close to it. And when the day is done, there's no better setting in which to relax. Whatever your preference, come on over! So that there's no confusion on the number of beds/bedrooms, There's a master bedroom with a king bed. There's a bunk area just outside the bedroom with 3 bunks that the kids will love. And there's a sleeper sofa in the living room. The parking area is just outside the barn. Heck, I even put up a sign for you. Please don't park inside the barn. I'll be happy to meet you if I see you, but I promise to not be clingy or creepy (ya know, like Jim Carrey in The Cable Guy). In addition to the garden, there are many miles of logging trails (see map in the barn) for hiking, biking, 4-wheeling, horseback riding, or cross-country skiing. Please observe any signs marked "private". Part of my property is reserved for myself. There's also a neighbor to the south of me. Their drive is also marked by a sign. Please don't go peeking into their windows, invite yourselves to dinner, or steal their dogs. You are welcome to enjoy my vegetable/flower garden (look for the gate and sign to the pathway). It's a great place to read a book or just listen to the bees buzz. You can pick some fresh herbs for your dinner or munch on a fresh strawberry. If you see a gopher in the garden, play Whack-A-Mole.

June 2025 5.00Very stunning place that was also very unique. Was very close to town (3 miles) and very private. Stocked with wood for fire pit and some nice cooking amenities we didn't have to buy. Highly recommend. Very cool place!

May 2025 5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Romantic Montana Getaway We stayed at this beautiful barn in Whitefish as part of our engagement trip — and it was everything we hoped for. The space was exactly like the photos — clean, private, peaceful, and full of rustic charm. It felt like our own cozy hideaway while still being just minutes from everything Whitefish has to offer. The setting couldn’t have been more romantic, and the entire experience was unforgettable. Doug was an excellent host — helpful, responsive, and genuinely kind. You can tell he cares about making your stay perfect. If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic escape with all the Montana magic, this is it. Highly recommend — and thank you, Doug, for being part of such a special moment in our lives! 💍🌲🐎
