Gail Goodwin, the dreamer behind this project, is best known for creating several amazing masterpieces in northwestern Montana.

Glacier Bear Retreat, built in 2013, is a private family estate, located INSIDE Glacier National Park, just across the street from Lake McDonald.

Snow Bear Chalets, built in 2017, are the World’s 1st Ski-in/Ski-out treehouses, built directly on the slope at Whitefish Mountain Ski Resort. Snow Bear Chalets was designed to answer the question… “If Harry Potter got together with Hansel and Gretel to design a magical place, what would that look like?”

TIME MAG Snow Bear Chalets

These treehouses have been featured in more than 400 media publications and international magazines and became world famous when they were recognized on the cover of TIME Magazine as one of the World’s 100 Greatest Places in 2018.

Snow Bear Penthouses, built in 2020, consist of seven luxury condos, some with a starry ceiling or turrets, and all with outstanding mountain views, located directly adjacent to the ski slope.

Gail “retired” from designing and building Montana short-term rental properties and is now creating Dreaming Bear Retreat, a private home on a spectacular property in Northwestern Washington.
