The Nest On Swan River, Wedding Venue, Retreat Center, Event Venue

In the summer of 2023 we hosted a reunion for extended family, 24 guests, for four nights at The Nest. It was a magical time! All of what we saw on the website was accurate: lodging options that were rustic on the outside and luxurious on the inside. There were lovely spaces to allow individual families to be together in privacy, as well as large spaces to gather together. Pam and Mike have succeeded in inviting folks to spend time outdoors: for instance, there are riverside patios that encourage spending time watching the birds on the river. The riverbend itself is an appealing place to put in a kayak and take a safe and beautiful paddle around the corner, upstream or down. There are two large commercial kitchens. For us, the Lodge was the space to gather each evening, with one family group cooking each night. We commissioned the local baker, Mr Blu of Blu Funk, to make us a few dozen bran and carrot cake muffins for our breakfasts. Coffee is available in the Lodge all the time, and individual cabins have coffee makers. Pam and Mike were present, hospitable, and not intrusive. We even found fresh bread and huckleberry jam in the kitchen, as an unexpected treat! The area itself is naturally blessed with pine trees, fresh water, mountain trails, birds, and other wildlife. I hope we can go back, if not this year then next, with all our family members along!

We had an amazing wedding at The Nest. We rented a few of the cabins and the Inn so our family and friends could stay. The owners, Pam and Mike, are wonderful hosts and setup a bonfire for us for after quiet time. Everyone who attended was blown away by the beauty of this place and our wedding photos are gorgeous.

Our Family has hosted two large events at The Nest On Swan River in Bigfork, Montana. The first was an outdoor Fall Engagement Party for about 50 guests. It was so wonderful and perfect an experience that we returned the following Fall and hosted a 90th Birthday Party for 65 people, again outdoor. Both of these events included many out of town guests who stayed in the on-property cabins or in the Inn. They all reported being very happy with their accommodations, thrilled in fact.Working with Pam and Mike Roessmann is a dream. They bend over backwards to accommodate our every request and need.If you want a breathtaking location that is more than user-friendly, choose The Nest. You will be glad you did.

What an amazing gem in the town of Bigfork! I recently hosted a retreat on the property and the venue provided to perfect backdrop to get quiet and enjoy nature. Pam and Mike were great hosts, always available and keeping the property impeccably maintained. Highly recommend.

I perform a lot of weddings every year, and I hit up a lot of venues all across the beautiful state of Montana. The Nest in Bigfork is one of the most beautiful venues that I have ever had the chance to work at. The property is gorgeous, the staff is beyond helpful and their Wi-Fi is very fast which helps me download any songs that I may not have. This place is a hidden gem here in the flathead Valley and I highly recommend you giving them a call in hopes of celebrating your big day at this gorgeous location
