About The Lakes community: "Located in The Lakes Whitefish, a master-planned community, featuring quiet tree-lined city streets with sidewalks, connecting walking paths, vintage streetlights, and rear access to garages. Ownership includes membership at the Canoe Club. This private facility offers a beautiful beach on the lake, canoes, kayaks, barbecue patio, pool, spa, and a clubhouse with theater room, kitchen, lounge with fireplace, steam room, sauna, exercise equipment, locker rooms and more!" Our bungalow is only about a block from the Canoe Club (I always walk to it when I visit the exercise room).We have used the canoe club numerouse times for parties and family gatherings.The kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed but your food. There is a large park/playground/ball field that is also about a block away, along with walking trails along the river taking you into the town of Whitefish. We are particularly close walking distance to both the park and club because our house is near the edge of the community instead of in the middle or the farthest end, which we like and think is a perk. A brand new medical facility just went in down the road. It opened about a 3 months ago and was built with all the style of classic rustic Montana architecture. My wife is having a baby and we think it will only take us about a 45 second drive to drive from the house to the new birthing center they built. We have a high crawl space (I think about 4 feet) which makes it manageable to get around easily under the house (I'm 6' 1") where the furnace and hot water heater are located. Some miscellaneous facts you might be interested in is that we have a two car garage, mountain views out our windows, real Montana stone work pillars and entry way up to the front door. The trim is old fashioned wide baseboard, solid fir, painted cottage white throughout entire house.
