We love Kalispell, Montana because it is a great community in which to live, work and play. Known as the last best place, this area of the Flathead Valley offers phenomenal recreational opportunities all year round. And since we favor the countryside, but still like the idea of a neighborhood, we opted to build our vacation home in this Ponderosa grove, where bird-watching comes readily. One year, we even had robins nesting in a hanging basket on the front porch!
