This place was such a delight. My boyfriend and I were wowed by how the staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, they even had a personalized note waiting for us in our cabin when we arrived. We also held a gender reveal party for my sister on the property and the owner made sure we had everything we needed for a good time. Such a beautiful location, cozy and clean cabins, and excellent customer service. We will be back!

We were 4 adults and 2 dogs in a place that can sleep 8 the first 2 nights then the 3rd night we had to move to a 5 person space. They were very accommodating when we chose to stay that 3rd night. The cabin with 2 bathrooms is very comfortable and roomy for 4. The equipped kitchen allowed us to cook and brew which is great when you are skiing and do not want to go back out.

We stayed at North Forty in December for an overnight "staycation" since we actually live relatively nearby. And it was fantastic! We had no idea the cabins and the facilities were going to be so nice. We aren't rich, so we felt almost out of place at how beautifully maintained and well-appointed and nice everything was at North Forty. It's also a great location - an easy drive to either Whitefish or Columbia Falls for whatever we needed, and they're really close to Glacier National Park where we spent the day before retiring to an evening of hot tubs and fire pits at North Forty. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

It was an exceptional stay - truly perfect! The cabins are cozy and extremely comfortable, with ample amenities, and the beds are divine! The staff and owners are so kind and friendly, plus the location was great and there's much to do on site. You are also close to shopping but it feels remote - very peaceful! It had been years since we visited and I cannot wait to go again. North Forty is our new favorite in the Flathead Valley!

Our stay at North Forty Resort felt like stepping into a dreamy little escape tucked in the woods. The property is beautiful, quaint, and honestly a bit magical. The cabins have the most adorable, cozy cabin vibes and are exceptionally clean and well cared for. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully maintained, which made it easy to fully relax and unwind. The staff and owner are incredibly kind and welcoming, adding to the warm, peaceful atmosphere of the resort. We loved wandering the trails around the property, taking in the quiet nature and fresh air. One of the highlights was the cedar wood sauna, it gets wonderfully hot and feels amazing after a day outside. The hot tubs were another favorite and made the evenings feel extra relaxing. This place truly feels like a little hidden retreat. I would highly recommend North Forty Resort to friends and family looking for a memorable getaway. I’m already dreaming about going back.

This was such an amazing experience for my sister's and I. We rented an Aspen queen suite and the cabin was spacious enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. The privacy of having our own cabin allowed for carefree connection. The hot tubs were a perfect way to wake up in the morning. The front desk was so helpful too! Danna answered every time I called with a cheery tone and brought things to us in our cabin, allowing us to fully relax:) I would absolutely recommend!

We stayed at the north forty at the recommendation of family that lives locally. We also attended an event at the event center. Both were awesome!! The customer service was top notch. Our cabin was amazing- spacious and clean. Hot hot water for showers and extra coffee for the mornings. Close to Columbia falls where our family is and whitefish. We can't wait to return with the rest of our family!

We LOVED our stay at North Forty resort. Private, beautiful, cabin cozy with hot water, easy accommodations and a lovely spa and sauna. It was close to everything necessary while still feeling within the mountains. Each area of the cabin can be temperature controlled which was ideal for warm movie watching and cold sleeping. Seriously we will be back.
