The best part is spending your evenings around the fire pit or on the large deck while watching stunning sunsets and stargazing with a glass of wine in your hand. This vacation is guaranteed to be a summer favorite!
The property is multi-level, so you have great views of the lake through the trees from the house deck, and a completely different view of the lake when on the lower deck. There are stone steps leading down to the house from the garage/guest house as well as stone steps leading down to the lake. The last part of your drive to get to the house is a one lane dirt road with pull outs if you come across a car going the other way and our driveway is downhill once you go through the gate.

If you're not already familiar with Flathead Lake, here are a few key pieces of info you should know. There are 185 miles of shoreline and 200 square miles of natural freshwater, therefore earning the title as “the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi”. In the summer time, Flathead Lake is a boater's paradise so even on peak weekends it seems un-crowded.
Polson is just a 20 minute drive by boat or car for all of your necessities. There are many islands to explore, Native American rock paintings to be discovered, glassy coves for waterskiing, and private fishing spots to claim. The lakeside communities have public access where you can pull in to the dock and walk to world class dining. Glacier Park is an hour away, if you can tear yourselves away from the lake. Bigfork is just a short trip around the lake and offers great shopping and theater experiences, great dining, and a host of other amenities.
