Location was great. Loved the beach close. The kitchen was nice and had everything we needed. Futons were OK, not great. Beds were very nice and all the bedding was nice. Enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you.
This place was perfect for our family of 6 while we visited for a wedding. The location was perfect and we especially enjoyed the family of deer in the back yard!
Spent a weekHave stayed here before!Everything is within walking distance Cozy!!Need some repairs in kitchen Light over stove don’t workCould use the air conditioner installedBut very very nice!
The property was cute, quirky, miss matched furniture and beach house decor. Came into a messy house but property owner was very responsive and fixes the issues right away. Overall we enjoyed our stay. It was the PERFECT location.
The location between the lake and town was perfect. The house itself was comfortable, and my 16 month old grandson loved the chalk walls in the back sunroom. The internet was out while we were there, so we couldn't watch tv, which was actually a plus because we visited in the quiet evenings. We had a great family get-together.
We came to Polson to enjoy the water and we were able to walk to it from our VROB. The VROB was clean and comfy! Thank you for providing us with a grill to use! That was a great plus! We will be returning!

So happy to hear it all worked out well! Please keep us in mind if you come back to Polson!
The house is really close to the water. We seen 2 bucks in the yard while we were there. The house was clean and ready when we arrived. We spend most our time up at Blue Bay so we only slept at the house but it was quiet.

The house and location were perfect!
The house was clean and had all the major necessities for a kid friendly lake property. The sandbox and playroom were perfect for our almost 2 year old son! There was so much going on in Polson over the weekend and it was walking distance to all the events. The BBQ place 1.5 blocks down was the best BBQ we've had in the Midwest! Cannot wait for our next trip to Polson, we will definitely book a stay at the Lake House again!
Nice place to kick it for the weekend. Close to everything in downtown Polson so put your walking shoes on. One thing to note is on really hot weekends like we had the one small air conditioner does not keep up and will only cool the living room areas.
It was a great location if you want to be near the lake. The only draw back was that it didn't have air conditioning and at night it was hard to sleep because the house was hot. The night we got there, parking was kind of a pain. There were several other cars parked in front of the house and made it difficult to get our stuff into the house. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed the lake.
The house was like 95 degrees the entire time. No AC and the fans did not cool anything down. There was a smell, uneven flooring and walks, and nothing was really comfortable. We phoned the property manager however it just went voice mail stating that they were out of town for August 24-26, however we checked in after that date. The short walk to the beach was a 20 foot drop. We left after the first miserable night and incurred additional cost for hotels that we could sleep in and not be cooked.
This property is a great place to stay! Perfect location! Great communication with the owner. Plenty of linens. We used to own an AirBNB and here are some suggestions we thought we would share with you. Changing out the double bed for a queen bed. Put blackout shades and/or curtains in the bedrooms. Front and backyard would be great places to hang out with plenty of room, keeping the lawns landscaped and mowed while including some lawn games, seating, and firepit would be a big bonus. Any type of laundry washer would be helpful to have with some hang drying lines outside, this can be an affordable endeavor if done right. Finally, including a Netflix account for the TV. Thank you so much for our stay we look forward to coming back!

Thank you for staying and for your comments. We took them to heart and installed a washer and dryer. We also had WiFi put in and the smart TV with accessible accounts. We have also put outside seating as well as a horseshoe pit for people to use. For the rooms, we put in blackout shades in the second bedroom so now all bedrooms have them. Thank you again!
Great location by the lake with all the conveniences of home
I loved the location of this house in a quiet neighborhood that is walking/biking distance to the lakefront, as well as downtown. The house was roomier than I expected, with a large dining room, nice backyard (unfenced), and a little playroom in the back laundry room. We would definitely plan a return trip here.
We had a great time walking the block and a half to flathead lake, a couple blocks the other direction to downtown Polson, and driving north to Glacier National Park. We’d looked at a map and knew we could access the water close to this rental but we had no idea how convenient and beautiful the access would be. This is the PERFECT rental for anyone looking to spend time on/in the lake.
We really enjoyed our stay in this older home across the street form the lake. We jumped in immediately upon arrival at the park side beach as it was 90 degrees outside. Small little quaint house. The only thing I would mention is one bedroom is tied to the other bedroom and in order to get to either one you have to go through through the other bedroom or bathroom. Didn't bother us at all but should be mentioned. There are no air conditioners but it was 95 degrees outside and surprisingly very comfortable in the house due to big shade trees and the lake breeze so close. We just left the fans on and windows open all weekend. Overall excellent stay and cant wait to book it again.
Description of property was accurate. Entry pathway could use improvement as isn’t real smooth and level. Had my 88yo dad with us so a recliner chair or at very least a footstool would have been appreciated but over all very homey
We had a wonderful stay. The home was clean and tastefully decorated. The board games were a real hit with our kids and the movie selection was great for a night in after boating on the lake. We would definitely stay again!
