Perfect. Not much else I can say. Location, architectural details, clean, easy process, good communication. All of it….perfect. Everlasting memories. Thanks!
BEST Location, Unique Property, Memories of a Lifetime
Wow, this place was cool. After seeing the pictures, we had to check it out. The location was most notable - right next to Chair 3 & Hope Slope run, with terrain park just beyond that. We were able to watch the boys do jumps from inside the house! The tower was a really cool unique feature. Great place to watch skiers & snowboarders go by, relax with a book, etc. The only hiccup was we had a little bit of difficulty checking in - I couldn't find the check-in email in my inbox. I am really not sure if it was my fault or theirs. Property manager didn't respond and I had to contact the owner. But we got it all straightened out within a couple hours. Another nice thing - sometimes we stay in VRBOs that don't have any salt & pepper, cooking spray, etc. This place had the basic things so we didn't have to buy them, which was nice.We would love to stay there again!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at Snow Bear Chalets. Just driving up the mountain felt like we were entering a vacation zone and all of our cares seemed to slip away. How wonderful to experience the magic we felt at Snow Bear!
Thanks for building such an amazing addition to Whitefish Mountain and for sharing it with all of us. We'll be back again- soon!
Absolutely loved this property! Incredibly unique. A dream come true for children. Truly magical in so many ways. Great proximity to mountain activities. Can’t wait to come back in the winter. Gail is wonderful to work with! Could not have asked for a better trip!
Very unique amazing experience! Real tree house, but with all the conveniences of a home. Right in the slopes. Property manager is very responsive and accommodating; they even had a Christmas tree and stockings there for us for the holidays! Very clean! Strongly recommend!

Family MEA October Getaway
I really can't say enough wonderful things! I would use the word magical. We found October to be a precious time to come. While most things on the mountain top are closed, we were the only one around at night and it was extremely quiet. The weather was perfect for hikes (which you can easily do from the property) as well as horse back riding and bike riding. The quick drive to downtown Whitefish was lovely and had many options for food and drinks! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this property.

Wow! This Place is Amazing!
This place is amazing - true luxury. The views are incredible and it is located right on the slopes. The property is brand new absolutely beautiful. The interior and furnishings are top of the line. My favorite the heated floors in the bathrooms mmmm. The architecture of the treehouse is awe inspiring. The hot tub on the deck is yes!. There is plenty of room for a family of 4 or 5. Kids and adults would love it here. You really do feel like you are in a treehouse when you are inside and level with the chairlift. Wish we could have stayed longer and wish we were there when it snowed. Parking is a little tricky but Gayle is a great hostess and will show you the ropes. Thanks Darryl & Gayle love your place and can't wait to visit again.
Ponderosa treehouse at Snow Bear Chalets was the perfect place for our family. My husband and I enjoyed privacy sleeping on the main level and the kids LOVED the loft with a king, 2 twins, and the most amazing turret ever! This turret has something like 1000 fiber-optic stars forming twinkle-lit constellations on the ceiling- amazing! Our kids loved it!
The kitchen was perfect and fully stocked for the two nights we cooked at "home".
The mountain views were breathtaking, the hiking was fantastic, the beds were oh so comfy and the overall ambiance of the treehouse created such a great memory for our family.
We're already looking at dates to return. Thank you Snow Bear Chalets for building such an amazing luxury treehouse!
My recommendation- book this now! You'll be so happy that you did!
This is probably the most well appointed vacation rental we have ever stayed in. The owners thought of absolutely everything you could possibly want. The kitchen is well stocked with high quality cookware, utensils and serving pieces. You don't need to bring anything but your personal items. Trash bags, toiletries, zip lock bags, laundry detergent, etc. etc. etc. are all provided.
To top that off, the place is truly beautiful. The design is unique and the house is extremely well built. The location was excellent. It would be nice to have a little more separation from the neighbors (especially from the master bedroom) but there were shades to provide adequate privacy so it wasn't really a problem.
We would definitely stay here again. Whitefish in summer is absolutely fantastic and Ponderosa was a perfect place to stay!

Truly a magical experience; a winter wonderland
We came to Montana for an Old Fashioned Christmas - the snow, the cabin, holiday decorations, snuggling by the fire, the charming small town feel - and what we got was our very own Hallmark Christmas scene. It was purely magical and, at times, felt like we were inside our own snow globe! The chalet is extraordinary; we woke up from our cozy, heated beds to watch skiers cut down the mountain in elegant lines while we ate breakfast. The fireplace and Christmas tree were a beautiful touch that made the place feel like home. We would start and end our days in the hot tub on the porch while waving to people on the chair lift going up the Big Mountain. During the day, we'd pop into town and grab a bite in Downtown Whitefish or do an activity - Glacier is magnificent in winter or you can sign up for a sleigh ride or dog sled experience. We went down ther mountain to base camp to see the torch light parade where community skiers lit Santa's way down the mountain. Just spectacular! Otherwise, with this chalet, you never really have to leave. The full kitchen, laundry facilities, star gazing tower, spectacular views, Netflix and Wifi and built-in sound system offer an option where you don't have to leave the house to make wonderful, magical memories with your loved ones for the holidays in Whitefish, Mt. Thank you for all the memories! What a place! We will be back - and thanks to Teresa, the property manager who was so helpful and on call any time we had a question.
We loved our summer stay at Ponderosa. Our 7 and 4 year old were delighted to stay in a treehouse and to have a turret to enjoy just to themselves. The amenities were spot on and everything was very comfortable. Whitefish is a fun little town and Glacier National Park is gorgeous!
We had a wonderful time in ponderosa! It was even more beautiful than in the pictures online. The view was spectacular and skiing right from the treehouse was so easy. The beds were so comfortable and the place was stocked with everything needed. This was the best rental we have ever stayed in! We definately want to come back. The skiing conditions were amazing!!
My wife and I had a wonderful time celebrating our 10th anniversary here. We’ve stayed in several rental properties through the years while vacationing and this by far was the best. We hope to come back in the future!
The photos don’t do this property justice. High quality rental with incredible views!

Beyond Amazing! Absolutely extraordinary.
Snow Bear is absolutely beautiful with the highest luxury quality building and finishing touches and details. It has absolutely everything you need or want for a holiday or a longer stay. The only problem you will have is that you will not want to leave ... ever. You will want stay here in paradise in a fairy book story home. It sits right on the ski slopes with a view that is unmatched. Sit in your hot tub and look up at the ski slopes or look the other way and see see the mountain vistas. The secret turret will be everyones favorite hiding spot. You'll snuggle in with your love in front of the fireplace and feel like you are in heaven. I travel the world (literally) staying in the most amazing places, and this is one of my absolute favs in the world. There is good reason that this place is recognized as the best of the best.

Fantastic Cabin
The place is great and the company that manages the property was first class. You will have periodic disturbances at night when the groomers come by the slope. Generally, this was when we were sleeping. The lights come through the cabin and beep loudly when they go in reverse.

Luxury and convenience
February 16th - 21st
Our family of four (son 10 and daughter 12) recently stayed at the Ponderosa and we couldn't be any more pleased. Gail was very supportive in answering our voluminous number of questions; but the property was the real star. The appointments and attention to detail are far superior to any other ski vacation we've taken.
And let's not forget the ski-in and ski-out; we were literally footsteps from the slopes!
