About this property

Flathead Lake Retreat ~ Wrap Yourself in Nature with All the Comforts of Home

Pristine, Artfully-Crafted Home 20 ft from Pebble Beach w/hot tub! 150 ft of gently-sloped lakeshore. We've designed the home to make the most of our stellar lake views. Open floor plan, walls of windows, designer touches, custom woodwork, carefully carved out spaces including cozy bedrooms (plus loft and bunk space.) Take a soak in the hot tub and roast s'mores at the campfire, all directly on the waterfront. Check out our The Flathead Lake Retreat website for direct booking option!

Comfort is paramount. From mindful mattress selection to cushy outdoor furniture, we've taken every detail into account to create an optimal experience for our guests.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms:
Queen bedroom on the main level across from a bathroom with shower. King bedroom tucked away on the lower level with a peekaboo lake view. The bathroom on this level has a tub/shower. Additional beds in loft area and family room.

Also on the lower level, is a family/tv room with a bunk space. From the family room, sliding glass doors lead out to a screened porch for bug-free dining and lounging.

Kitchen:
The kitchen is the hub of the cabin with a large island and lake views. You'll have everything you need, to do as much or as little cooking as you prefer. Espresso maker, French press, coffee grinder, KitchenAid mixer, blender, quality knives and cookware with all the tools needed to help you cook with ease.

Living/Dining:
The dining table looks out to lake and mountain views, and seats 6 (4 more at the island). The living room is a cozy space to unwind, with a gas fireplace and comfy sectional.

We provide s’mores makings and firewood for the campfire! Roast a marshmallow at the fire pit and gaze at the stars.

Our swimming beach is pebbly and perfect for launching water toys, as well as for children to swim. It’s pretty shallow and protected from big wake, only about 4 feet at the deepest point- gradual depth for little swimmers. Our outdoor gear is all available for guests to play on the lake. Kayaks, paddleboards, life jackets, canoe & more. Two docks for your boat. Plenty of outdoor seating on the deck overlooking the lake, screened porch on lower level, near the beach. You’ll love our peaceful bay!

Please, note: Flathead Lake is fed by melting snowpack. This means the water levels of the lake vary depending on the season. Water levels begin to recede in October/November and the melting snowpack begins to refill the lake in April/May.

We look forward to sharing this little bit of heaven with you!!

The Area:
We're tucked in the forest on the shores of peaceful Hughes Bay. Our quaint little town of Lakeside, just 4 miles to the north, offers great options for coffee, breakfast, baked goods, casual and fine dining, and a small grocery store.

If you decide to venture up north, Whitefish Mountain Resort offers fun seasonal activities for all ages: zipline, alpine slides, gondola rides, mountain biking, huckleberry picking, hiking, and skiing. The picturesque little town of Whitefish boasts fun little shops and great dining.

For all of the basics, Kalispell is a 30-minute drive away. Target, Costco, bigger grocery stores, library, etc.

Bigfork, a pretty 30-minute drive around the top of Flathead Lake, is a cute village full of art shops, a local theater, a river walk and great dining options.

Last but not least, Glacier National Park! The panoramic views are awe-inspiring...if you've never been, it's worth the 50-minute drive to the West Glacier entrance. So much to explore! Spectacular hiking- you can find our favorite hikes in the guide book at the house. Stop at Eddie's for a scoop of huckleberry ice-cream on the shores of Lake McDonald.

We look forward to sharing our little slice of heaven with you and hope you make some good memories!

Good to Know:
During winter months, you'll need a car with good tires and 4WD/AWD.

We have baby gear, toys, dishes, kid's life jackets, beach toys, etc. please let us know if you would like any of these items, and we'll be sure to have them ready for you. We have kids and have made the cabin a kid-friendly zone.

Pricing for this cabin is seasonal. Check out our The Flathead Lake Retreat website for direct booking option!

About the host

Hosted by Jenna Snell

Host profile image
I love to travel and always take note of things I loved about the homes I've visited. So many times, it's the well-thoughtout vacation rental that has made my time in locations around the world so memorable. I hope to do the same for our guests!

Why they chose this property

I grew up on this idealic bay. It is one of the few lakefront locations that is protected from the wake of the ever-changing Flathead Lake. We are surrounded by nature, thanks to a local camp owning much of the perimeter of our bay, thus limiting development. We love watching the osprey dive for fish, paddle boarding around the little island at the end of the bay, and sitting out on the deck taking in the trees reflecting on the glassy water.

What makes this property unique

Our location offers 150 ft of beautiful Flathead Lake frontage (with gently-sloped lawn, fire pit, kayaks, pebble beach, grass penninsula, hot tub...all right on the water.) Our peaceful bay isn't over-crowded like many locations on Flathead Lake. We can see across the lake to the Mission Mountains, yet feel tucked away in the calm of the bay. On our half acre property, there's a feeling of seclusion that is hard to find on Flathead Lake. We're a short drive to the town of Lakeside and Blacktail Mountain for skiing in the winter, and about 45 min- 1hr from Glacier National Park and Whitefish (great food and shopping).
