Ideal location right on Flathead Lake!

This beautiful and comfortable lake home has all you need for a fun and/or relaxing week/weekend getaway. 73 miles north of Missoula's airport (MSO) and 51 miles south of Kalispell's airport (FCA) it is conveniently located off of Hwy 93, just 10 miles north of Polson.

Polson and Bigfork are both fun tourist towns with shopping and good eating. Glacier National Park is 72 miles away providing gorgeous sight seeing of majestic mountains and wild animals.

Start your weekend off with an early morning fishing expedition. Top that off with a bite to eat in Polson followed by an afternoon of 18 holes at the Polson Country Club. Cook those fish up on the grill by the lake back at the house. Finish your day off with an evening boat ride on Flathead Lake. The next day you'll see lots of wildlife when you drive through the Bison Range and go on a guided horseback ride through the Mission Mountain Range. Your day will be complete after you ride the level 4 rapids on Flathead River!

Dream come true
This home was amazing!! The views of Flathead Lake are postcard worthy. This was the perfect place to recharge, and reconnect. We unplugged and took in the amazing wildlife, sunrises and sunsets. This home had kayaks that came in handy as we paddled around the lake. We fell in love with Flathead Lake and will definitely be returning.

Perfect in every way!
Wow! What a trip! This house is perfectly located in a quiet bay on Flathead Lake. The house was the perfect size for our family of five (plus a friend). The location is right on the waters edge which couldn’t have been better for our busy kids who enjoyed spending every minute they could in the water. The house has water toys to use! We were thrilled! Two kayaks and a paddle boat plus life jackets! The kitchen had everything you might need - which we did since we cooked every meal that we were there. The hosts are great - they even leave a special something upon your arrival- which won me over immediately! We loved it so much we tried to book it for next summer but the dates were already booked! So, if you see this place and it has the dates you want you should book it! You won’t regret it!

Amazing location
The property worked great for us, better than we imagined. Our first trip to Montana, we went to Glacier National Park, explored around Flathead Lake and enjoyed the property. It would be hard to beat the views. The communication with Sherrie was good, quick response. We will definitely visit Montana again and would love to stay here again.

Property exceeded my expectations. The online pictures do not fully capture how great this property is. Quite, peaceful, relaxing week. Very convenient to Polson for boat rentals and shopping. The only thing that put a damper on the week was the wild fire smoke. I would definitely stay here again.

This was our second year staying at Sherrie’s place on Flathead lake. It has everything you need, with incredible views of the three islands and the lake. The dock is great and my husband loved kayaking. It is a warm and comfortable place to stay! We hope to return.

Unexpected
We rented during Covid and things were not as they once were of course. Things are more complicated now post Covid. Covid is no ones fault, but people are on their internet more often etc... The VRBO is the adjacent house to the owners residence. It is not cleaned to a regular expected standard. Minimal cleaning. The WiFi was overloaded in the neighborhood because of Covid, but the VRBO does not have its own modem, just an extender that comes from the owners adjacent residence up the hill. It’s not really strong enough to watch Streaming like Netflix. My mother-in-law and is couldn’t receive photos on out phone most of the time as well. Again, to no ones fault, there were annual fires. We got smoked out and couldn’t be outside. We couldn’t use the dock, kayaks, or the boat we rented in Big Arm. Be aware that in late August fires are annually prevalent. The host did discount us $150 for the troubles which was nice of her. Overall because of the fires we were stuck inside without functioning internet. The rental does not have Cable or Satellite. We played a lot of cribbage, but you can only play so many board games. Also, Verizon cell phones do not work in the rental property. There was one or two bars of service from the dock though. Just notes for the next folks that rent the property. I would have wanted to know these items myself.

Such a great location with stunning views of Dream Island and the Mission Mountains. Quiet. Calm water in the morning and evenings for great stand up paddling boarding. The kayaks and Paddle Boat at the cabin were put to good use every day. Beach and dock very nice. Great place to swim, too. We rented a boat about 5 minutes from the cabin and then went hiking on Wild Horse Island where we saw Bighorn Sheep and wild horses. A great week!
