Fodor's Expert Review Swan River Inn

360 Grand Ave., Bigfork, Montana, 59911, USA

Situated in downtown Bigfork with views overlooking Bigfork Bay, the Swan River Inn has eight opulent suites in a 19th-century building. Each suite is decorated according to a theme, such as Art Deco, Victorian, French Country, and Safari (with antiques from all over the world ). They also have three houses 5 miles south of Bigfork on Flathead Lake: the Atelier Suite, an authentic log cabin, and rustic Trapper Cabin, with the same luxurious amenities. There's also a giant tipi with electricity, a queen bed, and separate bathroom and modest kitchenette.
