Beautiful, relaxing cabin for family getaway
Our family loved every minute of our vacation here. This spot is perfect for swimming right off the dock and the paddle boards and paddle boat allowed us to venture out into the lake a bit. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed to cook all our meals and entertain ourselves after we came in from the lake. We would love to go back one day.

Amazing cosy log home on Flathead Lake
Staying at this charming log home in Big Arm Bay was an absolute delight. The rustic ambiance perfectly complemented the serene surroundings of the lake and nearby islands. Waking up to the tranquil views each morning or watching a breathtaking sunset by a crackling bonfire creates unforgettable moments with your loved ones. The personal petting zoo, complete with a friendly donkey, playful pig, and adorable goats, added a unique touch to our stay, making it an unforgettable experience especially for the kids. Whether lounging on the porch, hanging out in the hot tub, exploring the nearby hiking trails, or playing in the lake all day, this getaway provided the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat amidst nature's beauty.
