Stalking the Wild Kitchen
When we built our first house in Whitefish at Resthaven on the east shore of the lake, there were few houses and lots of game. I remember the fall that a she-bear and two-year-old cub decided to live in our front yard. They kept us prisoner in our living room until the rainy night of the Great Bear Hunt. It was my first experience of a hunt - and the last. I wasn't cut out to be a... |

Ski Camp Retreat: The ultimate cabin in the woods at The Club at Spanish Peaks
Perched on a ridge overlooking the Club at Spanish Peaks, this log home is the epitome of the classic Montana lodge. The structure commands a presence, with its massive, hand-peeled logs, and the stone fireplace is a fortress within the living room, beckoning all who enter to sit, relax and take in the sweeping view.
The home was built for the kind of mountain lifestyle that lends itself to recreation and entertaining. In the winter, a ski trail leads right past the home, carrying skiers toward the Club at Spanish Peaks and the slopes at Big Sky Resort. Built by Hackbarth Homes, the home was created as a spec, and it's for sale through Rivers to Peaks real estate in Big Sky. |
