A rustic mountain retreat with stunning views toward Glacier National Park

This spectacular rustic mountain retreat was designed by Altius Design Group and built by Malmquist Construction, located in Whitefish, Montana. The owners wanted a place for family and friends to gather, with a community that felt like home and surrounded by the rugged beauty of snow-capped peaks. As avid skiers, they also wished to be close to a ski resort and have outdoor activities that can be enjoyed throughout the year.

Another request was for their home to feel like home instead of a vacation cabin. The project team was able to achieve this request by designing an array of open and airy spaces used for gatherings, a guest suite that has its own wing, a “snug lounge” seating area, and an intimate dining area for when the couple is alone.

When designing for this home, it was imperative to the owners that their timber-framed dwelling be nestled into the site. The project team collaborated to ensure that the rooms were designed to take advantage of the sweeping views toward Glacier National Park and the Whitefish ski area. They wanted the overall feel to be like a mountain lodge-type home with some modern touches.

When it came to the construction of this home, the owners requested the use of locally sourced materials. The timber-frame structure features beautiful recycled wood doors, barnwood siding, and stonework.

What We Love: This rustic mountain retreat offers its inhabitants a wonderful getaway to enjoy their passion for skiing and outdoor activities. With open and airy living spaces, this home was devised for family gatherings but offers intimate spaces for the owners to enjoy their oasis all on their own. We are especially loving the living room with its soaring ceilings and expansive glazing capturing the beauty of nature.

The interiors focus on Western themes infused with traditional details that are warm and inviting enough to feel homey. Furnishings were selected to be comfortable, with traditional lines mixed with modern elements that are found in the plumbing and light fixtures.
