Lives up to its name!

24 ft travel trailer · With kids

We absolutely loved our experience at Kjersten's Enchanted Forest! The spot lived up to its name, as we were visited by a great horned owl one of the evenings, and deer were roaming all around us every day! We camped at the Aspen Grove spot, and the trees made the spot feel very secluded, even though were were probably less than 100 yards from Kjersten's house. Kjerseten was so friendly and helpful! It was a blessing to be able to fill up our camper with water near our site and to have firewood provided. The spot was far enough out of town to feel like we were camping in the woods, but close enought to access all the amenities the Whitefish area has to offer. It was also easy driving distance to Glacier and the Jewel Basin where we did some hiking. We hope to stay here again and would highly recommend this spot to anyone!

Great host and spot!

Kjersten was a wonderful host. She and her family greeted us with flowers and showed us to our campsite. She made accommodations to host our group and communicated quickly each time we needed her. She was extremely flexible with us. The site is peaceful and we were able to hear coyotes at night and see deer in the adjoining meadow.

What an absolutely beautiful site and wonderful experience. Kjersten is an excellent communicator and provided detailed instructions which made locating the property and the site very easy, and even checked in via the app to ensure all was going well throughout our stay. The site is well equipped with a grill, picnic table, large firepit, and even a backpack pump to extinguish the campfire when finished. The trees surrounding the site are dreamy and make the area feel very private. We found ourselves staring out the windows of the trailer all through dinner because the views were so lovely. We cannot wait to come back!! Highly recommend!!
