Title says it all. We understand you are looking to make a dollar from a wedding party, but that is why you take a deposit not just realize 8 weeks out that you have another wedding. Plans are made, plane tickets are purchased and $&!T is ordered. I guess they are either too concerned with making a dollar or just... More

When you spend the kind of money this place demands, you expect things to be perfect. The night we arrived to stay at "The Orient Express", we had bad directions, no TV, no wireless service and a room that just wasn't ready for occupancy. In the daylight, the property looked like it had been converted from an old, run-down shed.... More

I stayed here in August 2012 with 4 other family members who all decided to meet here for a mini-reunion. Our group occupied three different rooms. None of us had a bad experience of any kind, other than the loud bachelor party returning to their room each morning. This is out of the owner's control so it doesn't effect my... More

Greeted with "here's the key, there's the room". Wedding the first night and a live band played until 11:30 pm. Our bedroom walls shook. When I went upstaires and talked with the owner, she basically said, that's the way it is, the band will be playing until 11:30. No local information offered, no internet password offered, TV reception fuzzy, coffee... More

This bed-and-breakfast style inn is in a great location right off Flathead Lake, has two potentially great patios and a nice dining area, but needs some serious work. It seems to be mis or under-managed. The Inn seems to be about 1/2 finished or 1/2 torn apart, and decorative choices have the feel of "clutter" with a side of "charm",... More

I was so disapointed when my husband and I drove into Bigfork and I saw this hotel. I will never stay here again. The photos on the internet were not what I saw upon entering the room. The room smelled musty. The smoke alarms and sprinklers were in disrepair and missing. Door had gaps underneath and did not close properly.... More

I want to share with you about our experience at the Swan River Inn. I wish that I had read some of the reviews on here before my husband and I booked our honeymoon suite. To be completely honest, it was one of the worst experiences that we have ever had as a married couple in any kind of retreat.... More

The Inn is located on a bay right off Flathead lake and is a no-kidding artist colony with a main street full of shops with artists who work in all kinds of mediums. A lot better class of people than me occupy the area during the summer, but when we stopped by on Sept 20, they'd all left so we... More

We stayed in the "Portofino" apartment, which is operated by Margarit from the Swann River Inn, for one week and my back is still aching. The decor of the place is nice, but, for some reason, the owner decided to skimp, big time, on the bed and pillows. The mattress is a no-brand one that she must have bought on... More
