The recent experiences at this resort reveal a stark disconnect between expectations and reality. Guests report outdated accommodations, maintenance issues, and unresponsive staff, leading to frustration and disappointment. Rooms were plagued with broken locks, faulty plumbing, and subpar cleanliness. Common areas lacked amenities, leaving visitors feeling neglected. While some appreciated the scenic surroundings and spacious waterfront apartments, many found themselves wishing they'd chosen another destination. Overall, the lack of attention to detail and inadequate service tarnished the potential of what could have been a memorable getaway, urging travelers to seek alternatives.

Was Kylee Howe at Fireside Lounge a mag?
Beautiful setting on flathead lake and walking distance to downtown Bigfork. With great restaurants shops and the Bigfork Playhouse. Very nice room 140) in courtyard steps from the hot tub. Staff were very friendly. View all feedback.

What Ruthe Rowe dislikes about Fireside Lounge:
The room was completely out dated. Sure it had some nice amenities of a kitchen and washer and dryer. However, the carpet was no longer plush, beds hard, missing drapes, locks not working, etc. It was made clear by someone who worked there that the unit we were given was vandalized by a prior guest. Why we were given that particular unit with all the other units available I have no clue. We saw maybe 3 or 4 other car... View all feedback.

L 347 of 20.12.2013, p. 1.) we received room cd 237, instead of originally cd 142, a distinct difference from what was required in our reservation: a. second floor unit instead of a first floor unit. b. king bed instead of two queen bed. c. sofa instead of futon. 2. we came into our room, and the only window air conditioning didn't work. a. in front office we were told that it would be fixed immediately. the front office individual cried and told her that they forget to say maintenance that the ac does not yet work in cd 237. (same as the problem was known before b. when the time passed, we asked another room as we checked early, thought we could possibly be displaced to maintenance a chance to repair the air conditioning before other guests check in. that would have allowed us to sit and enjoy our day. we said it wasn't possible. c. we waited patiently for our ac to be repaired. we said the maintenance repaired a television in another room. d. when the maintenance appeared, she tried and could not repair the unit. she told us that a new unit was ordered, but was not expected for another three days. she wanted to create a portable unit. e. we waited patiently. f. finally, a portable unit was brought to us. it only worked well enough to cool the bedroom. 3. the extendable sofa did not work. it had a sign that it was out of order. a. since we originally expected two queens, we had to request a roll bed. b. the office was closed again. Nobody answered that phone. I went into the bar where a bartender could hold the maintenance, who said that the rollaway would be right up. c. we waited patiently. d. we took a chance and went to dinner (the restaurant was closed on Tuesday because of short-circuited) that was there when we came back. 4. at the end we was wasted 4 hours of valuable vacation time, which tried to sort out everything. cd 142 didn't seem to be occupied. 6. other expenditures with cd 237: a. cabinetd with used color cans and color reserves. b. when opening the cabinet door (turned out to be the water heater), the blind drawer surface fell off. c. the deep cooler was over frost and had to be defrozen as the refrigerator. a bad 1-star experience at a 4-star price.

I am only giving this place a rating because the previous review does not accurately reflect the experience I had.

As a 5-star Airbnb host, it is important that everything in the unit is in working order and connected correctly. Unfortunately, during our stay, we encountered several issues. The deep freezer had ice in the dishes as if it had been there for months, and the kitchen sink was backed up with pipes marked incorrectly. The master bathroom did not rinse properly and had a leaky flap valve causing the toilet to run constantly at night. Additionally, the sink in the master bathroom had a faulty drain plug and all hand towels were soaked underneath. The drapes in the living room were also a problem as they were hung too high to be opened properly and posed a fire hazard by hanging on a heating unit. The washing machine and dryer were inadequate, with wet hands sticking to the detergent cups and a clogged vent causing laundry to take all day to dry. Overall, attention to detail was lacking and for the price charged for cleaning, these issues were disappointing.

Why we were given that particular unit with all the other units available I have no clue. We saw maybe 3 or 4 other cars present. The warm water from the faucets was nice at the end of the day. I would stay elsewhere. Also we are part of the RCI membership and this was our 2nd experience, very disappointed.
