For an authentic Montana wedding experience, The Nest on Swan River is what you desire! This riverfront venue is situated with mountain views and located on the banks of the Swan River. The property, both private and tranquil, provides a serene setting for any romantic occasion. Unique from other venues, we lodge up to 25 of your closest family and friends to share your experience. It's simply magical!

As one of the early 1900 homesteads, we strive to maintain the venue's rustic history and charm. Upon entering the property, you will be greeted with views of a rustic homestead cradled in a backdrop of misty mountains. This crafted destination is a place where visitors can enjoy water activities, nature watching, and the amenities that the quaint little town of Bigfork, just 6 minutes away, has to offer. Hiking trails at Jewel Basin and Glacier National Park are within a reasonable distance for half-day or full-day adventure.

The Nest on Swan River has hosted many couples from afar, sight unseen. We've watched pre-ceremony dips in the river before entering married life. This homestead has a special place in our hearts, and we truly enjoy sharing this Montana gem with others!

"We cannot say enough about The Nest on Swan River. From the beginning of our planning, they made us feel totally welcome and continued to work with us to make our day perfect. The campus and grounds are pristine, the natural backdrop is pure magic. The cabins are gigantic and easily fit large families and groups – Mike is constantly working on improvements and additions to make the venue even better. We also loved working with Janis as the venue coordinator, her knowledge of the bar service and the venue amenities helped us to execute our setup and event flawlessly. Throughout the entire process, everyone made us feel like we had no worries and everything was thought of and we left feeling like we made lifelong friends. Thank you all so much, we look forward to seeing you when we come back to town."
